This recently deceased entertainer left behind diaries he kept throughout his life. The entries dealing with fame and celebrity are not the ones that are going to catch people’s attention. They are fairly pedestrian in their descriptions of day to day life.
However, earlier entries from a period in the entertainer’s life when he was young and before he was famous detailing his experiences in a certain powerful body wherein he had a position that is often associated with sex scandals do contain some shocking revelations about powerful people.
The entertainer, whose sexuality was common knowledge despite a brief early marriage, has alluded generally in interviews to what he saw and experienced before but the diary names famous members of this body including at least one future candidate for a higher position indulging in same sex affairs (Some with very young partners) as well as same sex sexual harassment. Of course, none of these men were out in their life.
All the people in the diary are deceased but considering their place in American history the fact that many of them were on the down low would be a huge story if the diary is ever made public

ReplyDeleteThe closet is a terrible place.
ReplyDeleteThe writer Brett Hartinger outed him. Taylor was furious, even though it was pretty much common knowledge he was gay.
ReplyDeleteHubert Humphrey. Long cold nights in Minnesota. Gotta create warmth with whoever is close by.
ReplyDeleteDamn straight.
DeleteHumphrey was my 1st guess, since he didn't win the presidency.
ReplyDeleteYou think Johnson tapped Hump like Brando style? Maybe Hump was a size queen.
ReplyDeleteJ. Edgar Hoover: Apt name for a gross hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteBrayson, I think Johnson would have tapped anything on 2 or 4 legs.
ReplyDeleteEw
