james buchanan america's first day president that something that we've been
debating all day here at t y t uh... and so on dot com lower roads attn op ed
about this because it kind of goes to show that you know if he was the first
day president
that our country's actually moved backwards when it comes to this
particular social issue
so uh... for select cover these our souls of course not a real newsweek
cover was someone who had done that cover to to make the point they're
making
as say the world when in newsweek said president why was the first the
president a bit like bill clinton is the first
black president disease in favor at you know you push for sold rights care about
the black community et cetera and i think is a case began in it's not
symbolic he might've actually did get
uh... now some historians today think that's the case some historians don't
think that's the case
we should present you with a sets out there
vans a lot of evidence coming out and you gotta keep in mind that this
evidence comes from
eighteen forty four
rain so the way people spoke to one another was very different from the way
we speak to one another and now it was much more romantic and i'd guess of
romantic words that were exchanged between two males would not considered
to homoerotic about packwood said some people are arguing i just wanna make
sure that have all the information is without any side by side mister
refrigerated
now that i get it like look for example in some of the street communities guys
hold hands us women
uh... abdulah came here from saudi arabia
uh... president belated held his hand walk around the rose garden in a town
was but it was the you know and
it was not romantic uses that's what they do the right so uh...
okay so this same back in that it was like decade dudes would hang out made
couple in bed sup
hetnet opening right like oh my god i really miss you john you can't pass a
remember we'll play together was awesome in center
and that is true it is true
it's very different question is whether buchanan at something else subject cell
and let me give you the evidence that we have
so first of all he lived with a democratic senator from alabama by the
name of william rufus king cocaine you live to the fact that
forces if you look at them for about the cause of this year's ok thick picked up
a good birthday look all that right now it's still the juries that use a trip
today
but because they missed refers to it
any diseases finances fiber cake
and how does seem to be today
if the president was living with a male senator from alabama name friskin
questions like something you are not veggies again was honored with a
bachelor president right an event is looking for the roofers what what
but is there a problem patent case fights over that says that though that
doesn't mean anything so far secured so outback and eighteen forty four uh...
while he was living with rufus king abbott has decided to take a trip to
france endurance christy thirty-something
during this points okay james buchanan became a little bali so here i don't
know if you're one of his friends and the letter said the following
i am now solitary in alone having no companion in the house with me have gone
all willing to several gentleman
but have not succeeded with any one of them
it is not good for men to be alone and should not be astonished to find myself
married to someone old may
who can never say when i am sick provided dinners for me when i while and
not expect from me any dairy ardent or romantic affection
now i know this is no
you know wall weighing in terms of
trying to find attch element to have good conversations with good
companionship yes except the context of that letter company in florence just
send the wing part
then maybe maybe we can have a discussion but then
look at the context of that letter because he does like o out haven't
succeeded with any of these men
uh... alan wouldn't be surprised to find myself of what these alternates who want
expecting romantic affection for me
joanna rock
so if you think it's the context of the letter that i find
notebook here's i'm calling i'm calling it so radio okay
so idon't historians say what anna pointed out and be we've talked in more
flowered
but they didn't come from mars okay
it's still speak the same language as we speak
they still do human beings
you don't go to
lo and diana played chess with ok you know i liked all i sought out this
gentleman
and another one to play test within the read a book with
but based firm
and then so all my god i might be stuck with a woman but of course i would show
any romantic relations tourism
sprawl
and since all of these another really nicely in a bag being perhaps there was
a like and just got married to discover marry verde
and he was a bruised baxter pro-civil wonder why people use the finding of
living with a woman
will keep coming from a cooperative victoria another of really interesting
piece of evidence that i found was that uh... after
he passed away
it turns out that their nieces
had uh... burned
any correspondence between them
miscellany letterman ages you can move this yes
from sunlight and i had a burning you know they're always like a little pieces
of evidence i kind of cut together
perfect but
tuesday's again officially first day president over end of the while with
that millbank idea of uh...
society back then it should read this amount of credit for
doing what we would do with him now
well they were totally demonizing but yet you know that so that's two
interesting points at number one
ill fighters in the back then the it was
being gay it was not necessarily in identity within the social context and
so they weren't you know it's all good people weren't gates that it didn't
perceive it that way bike so they'll be sometimes on non romantic would really
robust for freshers among guys among girls before they got married sometimes
i_b_m_ and sometimes they would be romantic relationship between the same
sex is and they would get married and they would think well okay yeah i mean
john and bob we're closer than they had saxon but john involving tom were close
and they just play chess they do was no big deal in a sense right sometimes if
you don't think it's out and it becomes public then you've got the bible issues
that are at so let's not be naive that uh... or both of the problems that he
could create right but it was abuse an identity as much as something you happen
to do right
i get that as well so that we can might not have thought of himself is quote on
quote get
object but today within the context of we have the clearly it indisputably is
if you ask me and i don't know why historians bottom a couple of these
crazy excuses i just don't know why
