The love of his life

[edit]

Not one word of his well known relationship with Frank Millet. If President Taft obviously accepted it, surely it should not be taboo. One of many references - http://www.thedaily.com/page/2012/03/20/032012-opinions-history-butt-davenport-hines-1-3/ Tiddy (talk) 05:21, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the fountain -- not about Archibald Butt. The article on Butt has a large section on Butt's alleged homosexuality. Which, by the way, the author of that The Daily article says cannot be proven. And you are ignoring David Millet's bisexuality, which is a known fact. We can't just focus on Butt, you know. (I also don't think that Taft "accepted" Butt's sexuality. What he accepted was Butt keeping it private and never being out of the closet about it. Taft acknowledged Butt's closet, and reaffirmed society's homophobia. He did not accept any homosexuality!) - Tim1965 (talk) 14:23, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
