Random #factoid...
#EleanorRoosevelt was in a 40 year lesbian relationship with a journalist, #LorenaHickok, who was apparently her exclusive partner after president #Roosevelt died. Before #FDR was president, this was considered exotic, but not important enough to report. After FDR died, it was considered too scandalous to report, as cold-war era anti-LGBTQ sentiment had begun. It was revealed in letters long after they'd all died.
