A gay first lady? Yes, we’ve already had one, and here are her love letters. You'll remember that Rose Cleveland, sister of notorious horndog Grover Cleveland, served as First Lady until 49 year old Grover married his 21 year old ward, Frances Folsom, all Count Olaf-lke...
The letters, preserved by the caretaker at Evangeline’s Minnesota home, are collected in a new book, “Precious and Adored: The Love Letters of Rose Cleveland and Evangeline Simpson Whipple, 1890-1918,” and make clear that they were more than just friends, according to its editors.
