Richard Nixon: Tricky Dick

I honestly never heard gay rumors about Richard Nixon before researching this article, but in 2011’s Nixon’s Darkest Secrets: The Inside Story of America’s Most Troubled President, Don Fulsom suggests the president’s relationship with gangster Charles “Bebe” Rebozo was of a “possibly homosexual nature.”

He recounts instances of the two cuddling intimately and holding hands under a dinner table.

Other historians have discounted Fulsom’s claims as gossip, but the men were very close: Rebozo, a bagman for the Mafia, was at Nixon’s side when he died.
