A tipster sent us the proposal for One Nation Under Sex , Larry Flynt ‘s forthcoming history of White House coitus . And it’s not bad! Did you know that “George Washington was a famous swordsman in more ways than one”? You’ll be happy to know that One Nation will be “academically sourced,” so Flynt’s claims that Abraham Lincoln and James Buchanan were gay and that Louis Brandeis got his Supreme Court sear by blackmailing Woodrow Wilson over a mistress are totally true. You can read the whole thing below. Flynt doesn’t offer any bombshells—it’s more of a breezy overview of old rumors about what George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy, and others did and didn’t do with their penises. (Sadly, the word “Nixon” appears nowhere in the document.) And it promises a polemic on how once “Americans finally realize that we really do live in One Nation Under Sex , I’m confident we will be able to fulfill the promise of the Pledge of Allegiance.” Flynt compares the book to Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States , but we’re pretty sure Zinn never wrote sentence like this: “How did this president from Pennsylvania become so proslavery? In two words: Gay Love.” History comes alive!
