Rumors you hear at the gay bars you hang in aren't documentation. As for being raised by a stepfather who later turned out to be gay, thats known but has nothing to do with Rove's own sexuality. Unless you think its something one can catch by association. As for Gannon entering the WH, so do lots of other journalists. All you've got is a perverse imagination.

AS, you should try to get your facts straight... Rove married Valerie Wainright, a Houston socialite, in July 1976, but they divorced in January 1977. In January 1986, Rove married Darby Hickson, a former employee of Rove + Co. They have one son, Andrew Madison Rove, born in 1989. Darby is a breast cancer survivor.
