Okay, for years I have heard that not only was J. Edgar very gay, but that he was also a transvestite whose alter-ego was "Anita".
(Not that there is anything at all wrong with being gay or being a transvestite, but since J. Edgar's outward stance was against anything but traditional values, it's an interesting character study, maybe even a little like gay-bashers who more likely than not are gay themselves)
Furthermore, members of organized crime were reported to have pictures of "Anita" that they used against J. Edgar to keep him from really taking full police action against them.
Now, it is presented as fact when I've read about it, but it also seems like it just as well be an urban legend. Because, in the end, wouldn't a pic of ol' J Edgar in a dress and rouged lips have surfaced by now if this were true? Is there anywhere on-line that has a picture of "Anita"? Or, has it been officially debunked?
