In 2012, Barack Obama famously made the cover of Newsweek magazine with the heading, “The First Gay President.” That headline, meant in jest, now seems more than a little prescient.

Much publicity has been given in recent weeks to Barack Obama’s very real homosexual fantasies. These were communicated in a letter to girlfriend Alex McNear in 1982, when Obama was in his early twenties.

These comments were first included in the paperback version of David Garrow’s 2017 biography, Rising Star, and later amplified in Jack Cashill’s 2020 book, Unmasking Obama, but news of Obama’s gay ruminations is only now breaking through to mainstream media.

In one of his letters to girlfriend McNear, Obama wrote: “In regard to homosexuality… you see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination. My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men.”

Why would Obama be having such thoughts? What exact message was he trying to send to his girlfriend? Such homosexual fantasies are very unusual for straight men, but there is evidence to suggest that Obama is something other than straight. In fact, Obama had five known major relationships with gay or bisexual men early in his life before he wrote that letter.

1 — Indonesian gay nanny “Evie”

Few Americans know that Barack Obama had a legally adopted stepsister named Holiyah Soetoro, called “Lia,” with whom he grew up in Indonesia. Lia was adopted by Barack’s mother Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro and lived with young Barry (later Barack) in their Jakarta home. Lia even visited Hawaii with the family and stayed with her adopted grandparents, also Barry’s grandparents, at the apartment Barry would later call home.

Despite covering much of his early life in his best-selling autobiography, Dreams from My Father, Obama curiously left Lia completely out. Why did Obama choose to cover her up? The likelihood is that Lia knew things about Barack’s life as a child in Indonesia that were embarrassing or even scandalous. Barack did not want to risk anyone contacting Lia in Indonesia where she could not be controlled. Although Lia did not speak English, she did give a long interview in her native Indonesian language in 2010. It revealed what could easily be interpreted as shocking information about young Barry’s life as a child.

Before we get to Lia’s comments, let’s meet Barry’s male gay personal nanny named “Evie” (real name “Turdi”). In Indonesia, and in many poor Asian nations, wealthy local families and foreign-born expatriates can easily afford the luxury of having multiple child caretakers in their home. Barry and his stepsister Lia each had a personal caretaker.

Barry and Lia slept in separate beds in a small guesthouse in the courtyard of their parents’ home in Jakarta. In the mornings, their mother Anne left very early for work at the U.S. embassy in Jakarta. Meanwhile Barry and Lia’s personal nannies would make sure the kids got dressed, ate breakfast, and arrived at school on time. Later, the nannies would escort them home from school.
