The FAGS are trying to pin the fag title on as many famous people that they can, whether they were or wer’nt.

(More excerpt) "As Heather Mac Donald wrote in her 1997 essay “Revisionist Lust”:
Anyone who still doubts that the madness currently possessing American universities matters to society at large should take a stroll through today’s Smithsonian. The Institution has been transformed by a wholesale embrace of the worst elements of America’s academic culture. The staples of cutting-edge academic “research”-smirking irony, cultural relativism, celebration of putative victims, facile attacks on science-are all thriving in America’s premier museum and research complex, its showcase to itself and to the world. The changes at the Smithsonian are not unique to that institution. Museums across the country have rushed headlong into what may be called the “new museologv;’ based on a mindless parroting of academic fads. But the Smithsonian’s embrace of postmodern theory and identity politics is of greatest import, because of the Institution’s contribution to America’s public identity.
And of course, the Smithsonian was also eager to jump on the Norman Rockwell was gay bandwagon — in October, their Website ran a massive 6000-word excerpt of Solomon’s biography, which reveals far more about the mindset of its author and publishers than it does any new details of Rockwell’s life."

Anything ‘printed out’, even though completely fabricated, will be breathlessly repeated / whispered / insinuated by the LEFT/progressives.

Generating enough blogsphere traffic and voila (1) the author(s) will have notoriety, and (2) fabricated tale become ‘everybody knows that, known fact’.

If you ever find yourself in the Berkshires with time on your hands, you absolutely *must* visit the Rockwell Museum, especially his studio, unchanged since his death.

This is so stupid. There’s no way to know for sure about this aspect of the life of someone long dead. So we apparently are supposed to accept that various historic people were gay, because, well just because???

Is this supposed to help the self esteem of the homosexual community? They will say Rockwell was in the closet and all that??? sheesh, give it a rest.

IF so, he had the decency to stay ‘closeted’.

If the Gay community can claim American icons like Rockwell to their camp they believe it gives legitimacy to their deviant behavior.

This is a homosexual parlor game. Pick people at random in history and “prove” they are gay. You get extra points if squares like the guy in question.

O.K., so homosexuals aren’t supposed to be child molesters. Why would his talking to little boys make him homosexual?

Now they will say his "square" paintings of American middle class life were a ridicule and commentary on the "breeders" of society.

Norman Rockwell heavily photosourced his paintings and needed different models to keep variety in his work.

But for homosexuals, EVERYTHING is about sex.

The haters tried the same thing w/ active conservative-—and icon Walt Disney.

The haters made up horrid lies about him-—and got it published like it was true.

Other than the Air & Space Museum, I will not visit any part of the Smithsonian.

I noticed historical revision from the minute I entered the American History Museum a few years ago. I spent about an hour, then left in disgust.

If I had my pad / pencil with me, I would’ve documented the glaring factual errors and liberal shading I saw.

I did not, but my revulsion remains.
