Mr. Griffin. Why did you happen to use that term?
Mr. Senator. It is a word I have used all my life, when I was even a kid. There was no particular reason. My boyfriends, some people may say “This is my acquaintance.” It happens to be I have always used this word, no particular reason. Maybe I would probably say it was a habit more than anything else.
Mr. Griffin. Now let me ask you this: You stated to us unequivocally you are not a homosexual.
Mr. Senator. You can be assured, you can be assured. I will say that Georgie still loves women yet.
Mr. Griffin. That is not necessarily inconsistent with being a homosexual, but I am not suggesting——
Mr. Senator. But you heard my words, though, my words they are direct believe me. And I don’t intend changing it. I may not be that strong, but I don’t intend changing them. Of course, age is a benefactor.
Mr. Griffin. You are talking about your affection for women?
Mr. Senator. Yes; certainly. I still like the beauty of the female sex. Let me read the rest of this. Let me quote you something that Mr. Alexander had me at the first bond hearing—I can’t help but think of it when I read this “boyfriend” and how many times that has been quoted. It has never been quoted me direct, but I have heard it hearsay, you know, things like that. At the bond hearing, the first bond hearing, Mr. Alexander said to me:
“You and Jack Ruby lived together?” And I said, “Yes.”
He says, “How many bedrooms in the apartment you live in?”
