No, he was not gay.

Although there is some very personally intimate words shared between Wilson and Colonel Edward M. House throughout their lives. Such as a personal letter dated May 11, 1915, just after the Lusitania affair, in which House ended the note: "My heart goes out to you at this time as never before, and I think of you every hour of the day and wish that I was by your side. ... E. M. House" If you ask me, that sounds like it could possibly be thought of as gay, perhaps it is possible that there was a romantic relationship between the two men, but it is not historically recognized if that is the case.

• To be able to break up trusts into smaller companies, he hoped to restore the competition that had once existed in the American economy.
• Wilson was an admirer of Thomas Jefferson. The agrarian utopia of small, educated farmers envisioned by Jefferson struck a chord with Wilson. Of course, the advent of industry could not be denied, but a nation of small farmers and small businesspeople seemed totally possible. The New Freedom sought to achieve this vision by attacking what Wilson called the TRIPLE WALL OF PRIVILEGE- the tariff, the banks, and the trusts.
• Wilson policy emphasized the need for the Jeffersonian tradition of limited government with open competition. Free enterprise was necessary and "bigness" was a curse. He opposed too much federal power, which was the opposite of what Roosevelt advocated. Roosevelt's "New nationalism" policy stated that the federal government should have more power in order to guarantee the rights of the people. This meant regulating business and industry to ensure the rights of various social and labor groups, going in accordance to his progressive agenda and personality.
