Is Obama gay?

When I first heard a few days ago that Obama might be gay, my initial reaction was, that's ridiculous. He's married, has two kids, and he's never set off my gaydar. I had read a couple years ago about Larry Sinclair's claims of having given Obama oral sex in the back of a limousine when Obama was a state senator. But at the time I just figured that any famous person is bound to attract a few loonies who will say anything to get publicity.

But after I read the article linked two posts ago (and directly below), I started reading more about the rumors of Obama's gay life, and after a while, it just made too much sense not to be true.

In his article in WND.com, Jerome Corsi, a Harvard Ph.D. in political science, said that Obama (along with Rahm Emanuel) was a lifetime member of Man's Country, a gay bathhouse in Chicago. Obama was evidently well known there and many of the older clientele remembered him:

Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, who worked with the National Security Agency from 1984 to 1988 as a Navy intelligence analyst, confirmed DuJan’s claims.

“It is common knowledge in the Chicago gay community that Obama actively visited the gay bars and bathhouses in Chicago while he was an Illinois state senator,” Madsen told WND.

Obama's reputation in gay circles, by the way, was that he liked to receive oral sex but not to give it, which squares with what Larry Sinclair had said about him. (It's his "signature." And receiving blow jobs but not giving them would be consistent with Obama's narcissistic personality.)

As a member of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, Obama was known to have a "close friendship" with Donald Young, the openly gay choir director of the church. Young was murdered execution-style on December 23, 2007, just as Obama began his climb toward the Presidency. Another gay member of the church, Larry Bland, had also been killed execution-style a month earlier. Neither man was robbed, and both cases remain unsolved. Donald Young's mother believes to this day that her son was killed in order to silence him before he spoke out about Obama.

Jerome Corsi is dismissed by the Left as a "Tea Party activist and conspiracy theorist." But even if you regard Corsi and Madsen and Dujan with suspicion, what they say fits the larger picture of Obama's life far better than any heterosexual narrative would. The circumstantial evidence -- away from his public image as a family man -- fits the homosexual narrative perfectly.

There is virtually no record of Obama having had any girlfriends before he married Michelle at age 31. He referred to two in his autobiography, but these were later revealed to be "composites." Are we to believe that a healthy, young, sports-oriented black man had no history of having chased after girls? You'd think that after he'd first been elected as President, back when he was seen in such a messianic light, all sorts of women would have come forward claiming that they had had flings with Obama, or at least been propositioned by him. But none did.

In his autobiography, Obama stated that during his years at Columbia he spent all his time in the library and "lived like a monk." But if he spent all of his time in the library, shouldn't he have gotten excellent grades, especially given how smart he is supposed to be? Then why spend a million dollars hiring 11 lawyers to make sure his academic records were permanently sealed? It's also hard to believe that a young man who by his own admission freely imbibed drugs was otherwise inclined to live "like a monk."

Another question: how many successful black men marry women far darker than themselves? If successful black men do marry black, it's often a woman so light-skinned you have to look twice to ascertain her blackness. This tends to be true of successful blacks in business, in entertainment, and in sports. Obama wasn't rich when he married Michelle, but he was a Harvard Law School graduate and did give the impression of an ambitious young man on his way up. And young gay men with political ambitions are more concerned about simply having a beard than her desirability. (Ironically, it was said during the '08 election that black women voters had a particular fondness for Obama because he had married a "real" black woman, unlike so many other successful black men.)

Michelle, in turn, also married Barack out of ambition. She reportedly had divorce papers drawn up after he lost an election to Bobby Rush for a House seat in 2000.

When Barack was first elected President, Michelle wanted to stay in Chicago and raise their two girls there. She was quickly informed that this would not look good, so she moved to the White House.

Has a President's "body man" ever been given such prominence? Part of Reggie Love's job as Obama's personal valet was to "wake the President up in the morning." (How could he do this without waking Michelle up at the same time?) Love reportedly worked up to 18 hours a day, "often sleeping on the burgundy couch."

The "body man" before Love was Nick Colvin, who left the White House after rumors surfaced that he had had sexual relations with Obama while Obama was a state senator. (Obama hasn't had just one Clyde Tolson, he's had two.)

And why all the snickering when Kal Penn ("Kumar" of Harold and Kumar fame, widely known to be gay in Hollywood) was working in the White House as the President's Associate director in the White House Office of Public Engagement? Google "Kal Penn Obama affair" and you'll get 165,000 results.

The ways in which Obama tries to compensate seem telling too. His jaunty stride up to the podium is meant to project masculine virility; and his vocal delivery, with that faux vaguely-black accent, is meant to show manliness as well. I've seen other gay guys who try too hard to appear manly, with overly emphatic movements, and it usually leaves the opposite impression.

You never, ever hear any whispers about Obama and women. Sure, there are stories about power struggles between Michelle and other women, like Oprah Winfrey and Desiree Rogers; but no stories about Barack straying with women. I had always just assumed that this was because he was a squeaky clean family man who was perhaps a little scared of Michelle. But for a healthy man who ascended to the Presidency at age 48, who had star power and unlimited access to women, to never, ever indulge? That would be practically unheard of. But no, there will be no Monicas for Barack. 

Obama has essentially been hiding his sexuality in plain sight all this time. In retrospect, I'm astonished at my own blindness. (There has evidently been chatter about his sexuality on the internet for years.) But he just never set off my gaydar. And he is, after all, President of the United States, a position we associate with homosexuality about as much as, say, Brigadier General.

In a way, it's almost racist not to see Obama's gayness. Sometimes it's hard to see past the blackness: we are conditioned to assume all black males are high testosterone potential rapists.

Obama has none of the sheepishness, or sense of furtiveness, that we sometimes associate with gays. But maybe he doesn't give off that vibe because his narcissism overrides any possible sense of embarrassment.

Obviously, none of the "evidence" I've presented is hard; it's merely circumstantial. The only people with firsthand evidence are those who've had sex with Obama. But the entire picture of Obama's life makes much more sense when you see it through the prism related by Corsi and Madsen and Dujan.

There's nothing intrinsically immoral about being gay; it's something homosexuals generally have no choice about. But with Obama, his duplicity about his sexuality is reflective of his duplicity about virtually everything else. He has employed Alinsky-ite methods to hide his gayness the same way he has employed them to hide his far left political leanings. (Alinsky: cut your hair, wear a suit and tie, appear moderate, hide your radicalism, and if anybody disagrees with your political views, attack him on personal grounds.) 

At this point, three and a half years into Obama's Presidency, his sexuality has to be open secret in Washington. The White House press reportedly knew about JFK's escapades with women at the time, but kept them quiet. They are undoubtedly performing a similar function with Obama.

(By the way, if you don't believe that Obama is gay, go ahead and laugh at me. But the truth should become much more widely known after Obama has left the Presidency, when the press no longer has a reason to protect him.)

You have to wonder whose idea of a joke it was when Newsweek put out that famous cover of him with the rainbow halo over his head and titled it, "The first gay President." (In fact, Obama is probably the second; James Buchanan was most likely gay as well.)

I also can't help but wonder what effect would it have on the upcoming election if Obama's homosexuality became more widely known. And while I don't blame Obama for his sexuality, I do hold it against him that he's such a con man and narcissist. He's also obviously out of his depth as President, and his rigidly leftist mindset precludes any realistic ideas about how the economy works.

It's Obama's personality and politics, not his sexuality, which will determine my vote. But there are many who wouldn't vote for Obama simply because he is a homosexual. So I do hope this becomes more widely known in the next seven weeks. 

Update, April 26, 2017: A book generally sympathetic to Obama has come out in which the author, David Garrow, says that Obama "considered gayness" when he was young.
