This is how DESTRUCTIVE the gay pride movement is. There is nothing in that particular letter that could not be attributed to the flowery discourse often found even between mere friends in that historical era. Now we question everyone’s relationship.
read the rest of the letters and get back yo me
I agree. Eleanor Roosevelt had a lot of misery in her life. Why can’t she, retrospectively, be allowed to have had an innocent friendship that brought her some happiness.
I agree with you. As would anyone who has ever read Dracula.
Exactly. That's just how women wrote in an earlier time before gay apologists tried to turn everything gay-- including historical figures like David/Johnathan, Shakespeare, and Lincoln. To buy into this without any real, corroborating evidence is to be a historically ignorant dupe.
Agreed.
..cough.. What questions? This was widely known, about the proclivities of both of them, during their administration, only never in mainstream pressers.. It wasn't done, in deference to the office of the Presidency, and during the war, no less..
But, that didn't stop the chattering class.. Average folk didn't care for her in the least, not because she was butt ugly, and had a voice that was the equivalent of fingernails on a blackboard, she was the princess of darkness, of the Nanny State, to boot..
She had a cause du jour, and constantly nitpicked at an already suffering, war weary, populace.. Everybody, including Baptist ministers encouraged FDR's affairs with his mistresses, in sympathy for his having to deal with this witch.. Ha!
When women write to each other about how much they want to kiss each other, that seems beyond flowery discourse.
It has also made us restrained in our friendships for fear of being thought homosexual and being placed under that type of pressure.
A casual hug? You must be homosexual.
Let a friend cry on your shoulder? You must be homosexual.
Enjoy going out with one special friend rather then a group? You must be homosexual.
And so it goes.
We are gradually being cut off from our support systems. And it is not good to be alone.
Agree!
I don’t think you have read all the letters. Some of them are indeed very suggestive of a gay affair...especially when they went on vacation together.

Exactly. I did not read the entire article, but I find nothing incriminating here. And I am most definitely not a fan of ER.
True, but in all fairness, this relationship was being questioned in the forties.
True. And, those were my thoughts, exactly...until I read a few more of the letters. Especially the "feeling of that soft spot just north-east of the corner of your mouth against my lips"...and the "I wish I could lie down beside you tonight & take you in my arms" part.
I know fondness of friendship was stated much more affectionately in past generations, but this is beyond that.
As others have also said.....eeeeewww.
Did it say they had sex?
