JFK's Gay Friend Gets Bio Work Over
Gore Vidal Contests Platonic Love As "Idiotic"

jacklemH.jpg
A new book blows the lid off of John F Kennedy's dick blowing best-friend, Kirk LeMoyne Billings. Billings - affectionately known as "Lem" - first met the future President at Choate and the boys became fast-friends. Their relationship may have been entirely platonic, but according to Page Six, Billings loved Jack more than anyone else. One of his former lovers tells Jack & Lem author David Pitts:

There was a sexual element to his attraction to Kennedy.

Billings loved Kennedy all his life beginning in the 1930s... Billings was the only person who loved Kennedy unconditionally, who didn't want anything from him except to be with him, and he recognised that.

Kennedy cousin and gay writer Gore Vidal, however, has a different perspective. According to Pink News UK, the Kennedy cousin told Pitts that Billings was "...The guy who carries the coat... He's the guy who runs errands... To Jack, Lem was a kind of idiot friend." Billings couldn't have been that idiotic. Kennedy apparently offered Billings a job in the White House, but, fearing a national outing, Billings backed out.

Semi-closeted gay man has crush on incredibly charismatic, handsome best friend. Am I missing something here?

Must be a slow news day.
