“You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination,” Obama, then 21, wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982.
Written 40 years ago to an ex girlfriend, saved all this time, and just now coming out because of a biographer uncovering it. A letter written by Obama describing how he has daily gay sex fantasies and that he muses about androgyny. He's married to a woman and has been for a long while but there have long been rumors of bisexuality, some connecting him romantically to a gay musician at his church who was murdered. (Donald Young, and Larry Sinclair is in there somewhere, I'll have to see if I can dig up the old threads here on that).
Who cares, you say. Yeah. Not many people actually care if someone is straight or bisexual or homosexual anymore. I suppose this could be of interest to biographers, psychology buffs, history buffs, and to LGBTQ warriors who like to point out famous successful people who are LGBTQ. Anyways, it's in the news so here is a thread to discuss it.

Barack Obama's gay sex fantasy confession is revealed in unredacted letter to ex: 'I make love to men daily, in the imagination'
- Obama, then 21, wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982, with whom he had been in a relationship during his time at Occidental College in Los Angeles
- He delved into the topic of homosexuality and confessed that he 'loves making love to men daily, but in the imagination,' according to the redacted letter
- He described homosexuality as a way to detach from the present and potentially evade the recurring theatrics of earthly existence.
Former President Barack Obama wrote of his own “androgynous” mind and “mak[ing] love to men daily, but in the imagination,” according to the redacted portion of a now-notorious 1982 letter, obtained by The Post.
The more than 40-year-old letter to an ex-girlfriend recently resurfaced after Obama biographer David Garrow gave a long and winding interview on the one-time commander-in-chief.
“In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination,” Obama, then 21, wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982.
“My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men. But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency,” he added.
