A new documentary makes the case that President Abraham Lincoln was gay.
Called “Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln,” the film project claims to detail “Lincoln’s romantic relationships with men” by utilizing “preeminent Lincoln scholars and never before seen photographs and letters,” according to promotional copy obtained by the New York Post.
“Lincoln probably slept in the same bed with more men than he did with women,” one expert in the film remarked, according to the Post.
Many of the historians interviewed work at Ivy League and small liberal arts colleges, including Harvard, Columbia, Brown, and Wellesley.

Militant gays aren't getting the attention they crave anymore. It's all trans all the time now. Gays have become sooo 20th century.
Abe was a traveling lawyer, on the road a lot in the 1840s-50s. Inns of the day put as many men (women didn't travel without a husband or family) as they could in a bed. Abe and Mary Todd had four sons. What's next Mary was an adulteress?

Being outside that community, my observations tell me that gay men prefer other good-looking gay men. Lincoln does not fit that description.

Poster 1. I have seen picture of 6 cowboys in a bed. We did not have Hiltons then. It appears that our Ivy League profs are a little short on historical context.

One of the precursors to communism taking over is to destroy history. We've sure been seeing a lot of that in recent years.
Lincoln was a lot of things, many of them bad. I do not worship him as a god as many do. Still, he probably wasn't gay. If he had been it would have been shoved down our throats by now.
Academics once again proving their worthlessness.

Back in Lincoln's day and long before men often shared beds with other men in inns to save money. Only perverts think like perverts and claim Lincoln was gay.

There were a lot of pictures of Teddy Roosevelt with animals. Does that mean that he was into beastiality? These(most likely gay) historians will read whatever they want in to old photographs in order to spread their agenda. It seem that they are rewriting history as they wished it to be rather than what it was.

We no longer need to elect an open gay person as president then. It's already been done. Great!

Questioner: "So, Professor, what is your primary area of research?"
Professor: "I have spent the last seven years tracking down any minute shred of evidence that might suggest that Honest Abe was gay. For this, Harvard pays me $450K a year, but I do have to teach one class on Queer History.

So, does this mean that if any statues of Lincoln are defaced or destroyed it will be a hate crime?

I’m so very tired of the LGTBQ+ agenda. It is tiresome, needy and relentless in its pursuit of “normalcy.” How very sad for them that their ideology gives them no rest. Just be. And, leave the kids alone.

Back in the day, no one had their own bed. Cost too much. Whole families would sleep in the same bed. My grandmother and her sisters all slept in the same bed. There are Laurel and Hardy movies with them sleeping in the same bed. That's just how it was back then. Only someone with no knowledge of history would think it meant everyone back then was gay.

They try to change the past with tendentious bilge that sounds more like an unholy prayer that Honest Abe was just as sick as they are. Brings to mind the opening number in Parker & Stone's puppet show, Team America: World Police: "Everybody Has AIDS." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prhi3_Nvt3U
Even the first Republican president. Uh huh.

Of course he was gay (according to the 19th Century definition of the word - there are countless examples of his sense of humor.) I've also heard that Lincoln was Jewish - because he was shot in the temple.

Re #17. I also remember when AIDS made its lethal appearance. There was a concerted effort by the media to tell us that we were all going to get it and nobody was safe. Not just a "gay disease" they screamed. Turns out it mostly was except for some tragic cases where people got it from a blood transfusion or needle sharing. Even then, the gay lobby resisted the rule about no gays being allowed to donate blood because of the "stigma".

Once again I'm glad I chose to pursue a degree in accounting rather than in my favorite subject, history. I would have been mortified to have been associated with these intellectual numbnuts who are all too willing to warp history in order to push their political agenda.

You are cracking me up, #19. And its okay with me to mess with John Wilkes Booth a little. He's about due. But oh how we used to cry and sniff about Lincoln's assassination when I was in elementary school. I hated those history units on Lincoln, WWI and the Holocaust. I used to have some mystery illness each time teacher planned a film strip on any of those studies.

If they can't make everybody gay now, they can argue that everybody in history was gay. A bunch of those knuckleheads contended that Jesus and his Apostles were gay, too. After all, John referred to himself as the disciple Jesus loved.
It's downright sickening. And it's just plain sick.

When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Bless their hearts, they constantly crave affirmation. My opinion is they do that because deep down in their souls they know what they do is wrong. Human beings were not meant to be anything other than heterosexual. Unfortunately, our sin nature is a powerful force and we not only sin but will try and justify it. It is our nature. The LGBT+ community work very hard at convincing the rest of us that what they do is normal. It is not and making claims that affirm their lifestyle with nothing more than speculation is the height of irresponsibility.

#27, of course George Washington was trans! He wore ruffled collars, leggings, knee-high boots, and wool coats with metal buttons.
Now can I please have my $500K grant check to prove it?
