HI xD This thread shall contain random facts that are hopefully all weird or funny. All of it will be true, and hopefully most of it will be about Bi-sexuality, Gay, Lesbian, Pansexuality, ect... I'll get them hopefully daily and post them in here. I'll just add them into this exact quote thingy so if you have one that you want to share pm or comment them to me or just post below and i'll add them into here x3. Oh and add what color you want it posted in ^^
No rude comments please. Here I'm not making fun of Anyone so you have no right to assume so. I'm just stating facts and i research All of them before I post them. I will also research All of the random facts that people offer. I really hope you enjoy them
4/26/09 Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was also bi-sexual? He freed the slaves not only because he knew slavery was wrong {{though that was the main reason}} But also because he thought black men (no offence, I didn't know how to state it.) were great lovers. xP Also, as a young lawyer, he spent four years sharing a bed with a handsome shopkeeper named Joshua Steed. Here's something Steed wrote in his diary! "Our Abe is like a school girl, always demanding physical affection...he often kisses me when I tease him."
4/27/09 Did you know that Eleanor Roosevelt, the First Lady to the famous FDR, was at least a bi-sexual, if not a lesbian? Well, If you don't belive it here's the hard, cold evidence. Eleanor had a long term relationship with journalist Lorena Hickok. The two women shared inimate love letters with each other, which makes it clear that, if not physical lovers, they were at least close and intimate friends. Here is a letter Eleanor penned to Hickok on March 7, 1933: Hick darling, All day I've thought of you & another birthday I will be with you, & yet tonite you sounded so far away & formal. Oh! I want to put my arms around you. I ache to hold you close. Your ring is a great comfort to me. I look at it and think she does love me, or I wouldn't be wearing it. Unfortunatly, many of the letters were destroyed or burned as to keep this secret a secret. But there is one more letter that Eleanor wrote to Hickok that suggests they could have been physical lovers. The date is unknown. Eleanor wrote: I wish I could lie down beside you tonight & take you in my arms.

wow. that's interesting because they claim that a lot of influential people to our society were bi/gay. like, people claim john lennon was (uh, i think he actually said he was... i prolly shouldn't include names if i'm not positive, huh sweatdrop ) and also that back in the greek times it was casual for men to fornicate with other men and women to do the same. they had a section in the house where they did stuff like that and it was a social thing.
sorry, i know i said to send all this stuff through you but i felt like cutting out a step, ya know? good idea on the posting of facts, though. kudos

Oh I think people will be very surprised when they hear about this lady. At least some people. This wasn't a very modern thing to do in her time, and she was an elegent feminine woman. Many, many people respect her so those who don;t know it will be surprised. I know I was.
