They don’t call him the “first gay president” for nothing.

Via The Hill:

President Obama has used the word “gay” 42 more times than any other president in recent memory, according to the Human Rights Campaign.

The organization, which advocates for gay rights, released a tally Thursday, finding Obama has used the word 272 times in public speeches, statements and proclamations.

The group noted the president has used other terms like “transgender, bisexual, and lesbian” another 149 times.

His used the term most in 2012, while running for reelection.

Former president Bill Clinton trails closest behind Obama, using the term 216 times.

The group compiled a list of every time the word was used by a president — going back to Ronald Reagan. It found former President George W. Bush used the term two times while neither George H.W. Bush nor Reagan ever used the term in public statements.
