don't get me wrong...I assume the relationship wityh Tolson was exactly what people say it was, and he was DEFINITELY gay. but there were also stories about him liking to dress up in women's clothing. it's that LAST thing I was taking some exception to.

I mean Jesus...even Clint Eastwood's movie was endorsing that the guy was gay.

interestingly, David Halberstam always doubted that Hoover was gay, but guys of that generation tended to deny that public figures were gay. I know for a fact that my father had two or three close associates at work who were gay, but he ALWAYS denied it because in THAT ("greatest") generation, it just wasn't discussed.
