JFK and his best friend Lem
Today we honor John F Kennedy, former US President who was assassinated November 22, 1963. Most of us don’t need a history lesson here. We are writing today to honor JFK on the 50-year anniversary of his assassination and also to shed some light on fairly unknown fact. Did you know that JFK had a gay best friend?!
We had no idea. Is that bad!? Kirk LeMoyne “Lem” Billings was a childhood friend who President Kennedy met when he was 15. They met at Choate, a prep-school in Connecticut. The two traveled Europe together as teens and remained life-long friends.
What a lovely relationship and even more evidence that President Kennedy was truly a forward thinking man who was well ahead of his time.
