This week on Christories, we're talking about the THE FIRST GAY PRESIDENT OF USA!!! 🙌 James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, served from 1857 to 1861. Born in Pennsylvania in 1791, he had a long political career that included roles as a congressman, senator, and diplomat before his presidency. Buchanan is often criticized for his inability to address the growing sectional tensions that eventually led to the Civil War. Rumors about Buchanan's sexuality stem from his close relationship with William Rufus King, a fellow politician and diplomat. The two men lived together for over a decade and were referred to by contemporaries in terms that today might suggest a romantic relationship. While there is no definitive proof of Buchanan's sexual orientation, these speculations have led some historians and biographers to consider the possibility that he may have been gay. Nonetheless, Buchanan never married, and there is no concrete evidence to confirm or refute these rumors.🙆🏼‍♂️ TELL US IN THE COMMENTS your favorite moment BABES OR MAYBE WE MISSED SOME COOL THINGS!! 🙌 🙌SUPPORT THE SHOW, SUPPORT THE SPONSORS! 👉 https://zbiotics.com/pages/am-christories CODE: CHRISTORIES get 15% off your order! #ChrisDistefano #history #Podcast #comedy Welcome to Christories where comedian Chris Distefano tells you about a time in history.
