If these women were involved with one another it seems a love with another person is worth bragging about and close confidants of both parties would know something of a romance. To publish such material on an individual is considered slander and can truly damage a persons reputation when all that could possibly occurred is a good friendship between two people. Also, why such a lapse of so many years before discovering the possible relationship? There would have been suggestions during the tenure of the two womens relationship to suggest there was a romance occurring and would most likely have been remarked on as being obscure.

Roosevelt or anyone in love with another person both homosexual or heterosexual will significantly curtail his or her schedule to be with the person he or she loves if they are truly in love. Why or how does a person wait so late in life to discover their sexual preference? Does it take a person nearly 50 years of living to discover they are gay or lesbian?

There is ZERO reason to take the position that it is false until further substantiated. I've restored the last removal and will continue to do so. The paragraph on ER's bisexulaity has been there undisputed and well documented for months. I'll keep an eye on your efforts though and please let me know if you think you need help and I'll try to make some time.

I hope to work with others to eventually get this article up to featured status, but I'm currently working on other matters. It will probably end up supporting both sides, but we'll see. Please place such justifications here, we'll talk about it, and we'll change the actual article when we've decided on something. The evidence for her lesbian status has been repeatedly removed, being replaced by various other justifications. I ask that it not be removed without discussion Jliberty 00:50, (UTC)

I don't know when the above was posted, but I believe the evidence I provide in the paragraph recently removed (and now restored) is presented with NPOV and is well substantiated.

There's a body of evidence to suggest that Eleanor Roosevelt had a lesbian relationship with Lenore Hickock how much support must an idea like this have before it's wiki-gospel? It is a case of survival of the fittest edit?
