Character Information
|
Leslie Robin Swisher is a pro-Golfer man who once disguised himself as a woman called Veronica to participate in a LGPA tournament.
History
When Patty and a group of other women went to the tournament, they were questioned by Krusty, so Veronica hit him with a golf club, but it missed and it hit Patty instead. Leslie (in the guise of Veronica) then woke up Patty and Patty quickly fell in love with him. After same-sex marriage is approved, Patty admits to Marge that she has been lesbian all of her life and is about to marry him. Marge then invites Leslie over for dinner. Marge discovers Leslie Swisher is a man after seeing him keeping the toilet seat up. At the wedding Marge uncovers his Adam's apple, so everyone realizes he is a man. He then offers Patty to marry him, but Patty goes on with being lesbian.[1]
