Talese\/Doubleday)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>June marks the start of Gay Pride season, with parades from Boston and Los Angeles to Tel Aviv and Oslo. It&#8217;s a good bet that somewhere over those rainbows, Eleanor Roosevelt&#8217;s spirit will be marching, too. She&#8217;s appeared off and on over the decades, whether loud and proud on posters reclaiming her as an uncelebrated <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a> or more demurely as a sort of mascot for branches of the Eleanor Roosevelt Democratic Club.<\/p>\n<p>But this year, she deserves a special place of pride. June will also see the Supreme Court&#8217;s thumbs-up or down ruling on <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> marriage. Though Roosevelt was an extraordinary champion of African-American and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a>&#8217;s rights, she also did more than almost anyone in the pre-Stonewall era to model acceptance of <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> relationships &#8212; and she did it in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Some would argue that was because the First Lady was a closeted <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a>. The most often-cited evidence is her intense friendship with an openly <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a> reporter named Lorena Hickok. Roosevelt and Hick worked together, vacationed together and wrote each other hundreds of letters, many of them as purple as a late-summer eggplant. &#8220;Gee! What wouldn&#8217;t I give to talk to you &amp; hear you now, oh, dear one,&#8221; said one from Eleanor. &#8220;It is all the little things, tones in your voice, the feel of your hair, gestures, these are the things I think about &amp; long for.&#8221; The First Lady got Hick a job reporting from around the country on the progress of the New Deal. Back in Washington, she bunked in a guest room at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And the rumors began. &#8220;And so you think they gossip about us?&#8221; Eleanor wrote to Lorena in November 1933. &#8220;I am always so much more optimistic than you are. I suppose because I care so little what &#8216;they&#8217; say!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the gossip has hardened into gospel. In 1998, Eleanor earned a spot alongside James Baldwin, Willa Cather and Cole Porter on a National Coming Out Day poster with the headline, &#8220;Unfortunately, history has set the record a little too straight.&#8221; Five years ago, she shared top billing with Matthew Shepard, Cynthia Nixon and Maurice Sendak in the LGBT History Month celebration &#8220;31 Days, 31 Icons.&#8221; She also merited a section in Neil Miller&#8217;s 2005 book <em>Out of the Past: Gay and Lesbian History from 1869 to the Present<\/em>. Ask people today what they know about Eleanor Roosevelt and her sexuality invariably makes the short list.<\/p>\n<p>Among folks who knew her, however, the consensus went the other way. Eleanor&#8217;s children dismissed the idea that their mother was a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a>; her son John believed that his mother did have an affair &#8212; with her <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">male<\/a> body guard, a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> named Earl Miller. (One of Miller&#8217;s soon-to-be-ex-wives, citing allegedly steamy letters between him and Eleanor, threatened to name the former First Lady as a co-respondent in their divorce.) Alice Longworth, Eleanor&#8217;s first cousin and a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a> so free-spirited she claimed to have been named the first &#8220;honorary homosexual&#8221; by a Washington <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>-rights organization, couldn&#8217;t have been more insistent. &#8220;I don&#8217;t care what they say,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I simply cannot believe that Eleanor Roosevelt is a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many of ER&#8217;s letters to Hick express a passionate friendship. But people making the case for Eleanor&#8217;s lesbianism tend to cherry-pick from her correspondence, overlooking passages where she acknowledges that Hick experienced &#8220;a feeling for me which for one reason or another I may not return in kind,&#8221; and suggesting that, &#8220;you should have had a husband &amp; children &amp; it would have made you happy if you loved him &amp; in any case it would have satisfied certain cravings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Besides, Eleanor tended toward epistolary heavy-breathing in general, whether she was writing to her bodyguard or to her mother-in-law. &#8220;I do so want to kiss you,&#8221; she wrote once to Franklin&#8217;s mother, Sara Delano, &#8220;and in a little over a month I will be able to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eleanor Roosevelt isn&#8217;t the only putatively straight historical figure to become a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> icon. Abraham Lincoln, Malcolm X, Katharine Hepburn and Anne Frank have all been posthumously embraced in some corners as unsung members of the larger <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> family.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an understandable impulse. Minority communities crave role models, both as inspiration to their own and a retort to narrow-minded outsiders. American Jews have long outed the undetected sons and daughters of Abraham.

Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/heebz.com\" class=\"autohyperlink\">heebz.com<\/a>, which stockpiles the names of famous Jews &#8220;because,&#8221; the site explains, &#8220;you gotta celebrate every success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that Eleanor Roosevelt deserves to be a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> icon &#8212; even if she was 100 percent straight. Homosexuality may have been stigmatized, even criminalized, during her lifetime, but that didn&#8217;t stop her from befriending <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> regardless of what people thought of them or her. She lived for years with two out <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbians<\/a>, Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, at her cottage in upstate New York, where the sheets and towels were monogrammed with the three <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a>&#8217;s initials: EMN. Later, in Greenwich Village, two of her closest friends were another <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a>, Esther Lape and Elizabeth Read. (Take the Oscar Wilde Gay History Tour of New York and see where they lived.) She invited these <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> to inaugurations, to meet the King and Queen of England &#8212; anywhere she wanted the company of her closest friends.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll probably never know if Eleanor shared their sexual orientation or if she just admired independent <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a>. Whatever the case, her refusal to let the morals of the day define her was a remarkable kind of heroism, almost like a one-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>-straight alliance.
