Truth be told… There hasn’t been a lot of diversity when it comes to United States presidents. In fact, besides Barack Obama, the position has exclusively gone to older white men. One of those old white men--JFK-- was Catholic and that was a big deal. Another old white guy-- James Buchanan-- was… gay? Maybe. Today we’ll talk about him, his companion, and their relationship in the years just before the Civil War.
