A Gay Immigrant Saved George Washington’s Revolutionary Behind – Video

A Gay Immigrant Saved George Washington's Revolutionary Behind - Video

. Fortunately General Washington shared neither the anti-immigrant bias, nor the  anti gay hysteria that defines President-elect Trump and sidekick-elect Pence. If George had been so wrong-headed,  the Revolutionary War would have had a much different outcome.

We often read about the starvation and freezing cold  that Washington and his troops endured with at Valley Forge, but we rarely hear about the day a merry sleigh hove into view bearing German aristocrat, General Baron Friedrich Wilhelm Von Steuben and his retinue. On a purely voluntary basis, Von Steuben commenced to turn the beaten down troops into VINNERS! The military genius had been kicked out of his homeland by short sighted homo-phobes – and lucky for us!  Well, lucky for George Washington anyway.

Lately (since the election)  I don’t think it would have been so bad if we’d remained under the Crown; but Von Steuben’s generous message still resonates.
