What if at some point during his career, knowledge became public that Hoover was gay?
I know it wasn't confirm but let's say all the rumors are true. He had an affair with his deputy director along with cross dressing. It becomes public with photos and confessions.
Does Hoover resign? Would he be fired? Or would a sitting US President still be too scared to fire him. What happens to his extensive collection of blackmail? And would the public reaction be different in different eras.
