1) James Buchanan
While I don't love this Salon article. It does raise some good points. It also seems to have lifted all of those points directly from our 15th President's Wikipedia page.
Debating the sexuality of historical figures is a fascinating genre of non-fiction. Remember when Hitler was outed in 2001?
Do I think living with a man for 15 years and lamenting his being away and talking about 'wooing' other men and finding an old maid to engage in a sexless marriage all points to Buchanan being gay. Yes. Do I think it matters. No.
But it is interesting.

These little plastic bits connect square cards into larger images. You can use solid colored paper or take an image and they will chop it up for you.
It's expensive but beautiful.
3) David Leddick
Sal was/is my favorite Mad Men character. It will forever make me sad that I do not get a dose of Bryan Batt's fabulousness each episode. And I pray to the goddess that they bring him back each season.
This article about being gay in the world of 1960s advertising made me smile for that alone.
