Not speaking of today, because it would cause much less problems in our days.

But what if in the 50s or 60s (basically the heyday of homophobia) a former US President turned out as gay? I say former because he already reached the climax of his political influence, so he don't need to fear to lose power because of his coming out.

How would the public react? Could it improve the status of homosexual people in society?

Note: I'm not saying that any US President (except James Buchanan) was actually homosexual.
