Yet another example of why I don't read Newsweak anymore. Buchanan was the first gay president, not Obama!

Johnson, I'd say.

So would Wilson be the first female president?

I doubt it.

For those who are interested, Salon.com has an interesting piece on James Buchanan, the United States' first real gay president.
