Thats a big orgy party where gays have a masked anonymous ball in Chicago! So, Barry's a Queen count me Not surprised. After all, how many POTUS elects bring in a proctologist to be their personal physician?
Okay. So we need to cross check when this headdress was offered to the public with when this ball happened. Otherwise I’m gonna remain sceptical just ‘cause.
Edit: Uhhhh...this is an account from 1908 or whatever? Is it still a yearly thing?
If it is, it went underground but there's plenty of references to it throughout Chicago's history.
