Could be, but it doesn't really matter much, and it doesn't matter at all from a social benefit standpoint unless he or she is openly gay, serving as a role model.
She killed herself, that was so sad to read. Hopefully in a few years when the majority fully supports it, we no longer have women who have to endure the pain she did of having a closeted husband who really didn't love you that way you thought. :/
I can only imagine those women's pain from that. From what I've heard they usually blame themselves and believe they "turned them gay". The guys should at least just not marry.
No that wasn't sole reason I am sure, but I can bet it definitely impacted it. It would be like you being married, can't leave it because you're a man/woman, and he's always flirting with someone else. You can't do anything about it in those times.
In those times, it also was likely they had no sex before marriage, so she might not have known. Killing yourself over unsatisfactory love happens more often in novels than real life. Unless you have facts, you may be barking up the wrong tree.
JFK - had a gay "boyfriend" named Lem Billings who he was in an emotional relationship with, but no sex.
Thomas Jefferson - Stereotype mostly: had a lisp, very fashionable, loved interior design, and bitchy about how he had to have everything fancy.
Lyndon Johnson - Very well known for being overly sexual with women. He had a white house aid who was constantly with him and in private. That worker was then caught in the white house bathroom having sex with another man.
Not that I care. And people had some unconventional, by today's standards, sleeping arrangements in the past anywasy, especially when traveling. Or very cold, probably.
Very true. They didn't have heat back then in the north, plus homosexuality wasn't exactly "Eww!" Back then, it was more of just a mental illness to be cured. I'm surprised they were so moderate towards Buchanen, especially Andrew Jackson.
I have heard about Lincoln before. Also about Buchanan and Nixon. On the other hand, I have also heard that Michelle Obama is really a man making Barak also a gay president.
Inconceivable - Likely True. James Buchanan is regarded among historians as the first gay president due to refusing to marry a woman and living with "his wife" Alabama Senator William Rufus King. They were called "Miss Nancy and Aunt Fancy"
He also have many public love letters in which the two talked about how afraid they were that they'd find another man for affection when he became ambassador to France. They also spoke about how they wouldn't leave each other.
