Was J.Edgar Hoover gay? Does it matter?

I am guessing you didn’t try to be over smart and ask questions about the process (“for a friend”) on the Dope as a certain dumbass once did (14 years ago). I am old enough to look at threads I made and cringe.

I didn’t make it clear. If someone is super closeted and they want to keep it that way, in the sense that they are in an opposite sex marriage, or it will hurt their standing in their community, that night be an issue. Same as any other blackmailable material.
