The FBI, maybe because they are the FBI, believe that rumors of J. Edgar Hoover being gay are just that, rumors. But we are pretty sure of two things: 1) Hoover, being the director and founder of the FBI, would not have been found out if he didn't want to be found out and 2) where there is smoke there is fire.
