  1. It was originally Ben-Gay when a member of one of the lost tribes of Israel (actually a cousin of the transsexual Ben-Her) immigrated to the U.S. in the 1800s and joined an Indian tribe. The name change was done in the 1950s in order to avoid persecution as a homosexual. You may also remember him as the inventor of a popular liniment rub.
