Was Abraham Lincoln gay?

Whatever. His hole wasn't that clean.

Dear Lord in Heaven!

Here is a discussion about that.

Every, single male on earth is gay and women do not exist.

Certainly not!

Seeing that portrait of Joshua... i get it.

This has been discussed TO DEATH by historians. We will never know, short of finding letters or something which make it clear he *was*. It's very unlikely we would ever find letters making it clear he was not.

I thought there were some letters or journals

Lying scoundrel! Absolutely not! Why.. Abe ate my pussy every night!

In the 19th Century, people did not think of their sexual behaviour as their identity. They had sex with this person or that person.

When I was a kid, I thought he was Jewish. Obviously, I'm the wrong person to ask about his sexual preference.

Hey, I grew up in Brooklyn, not Jewish, but all the men I knew named Abraham were.

Not sure, since sexual orientations were not defined in the culture at that time, but I'm sure his predecessor James Buchanan was gay.

Dearest Robert,

The feelings you describe toward your roommate at Harvard, while I’m confident they spring from noble foundations, certainly go beyond what I consider suitable or healthy. You must tell him to cease his unsound importuning at once or you will be compelled to consult the Dean about new quarters. Having never been to Paris, I cannot comment on whether or not the French consider such relationships to be “perfectly normal.” I cannot even begin to imagine what you might infer from his stated desire to “go up into” you, but it sounds disgusting and unnatural.

Tad sends his devoted love and, as for your Dear Mother, well . . . What can I say?

Mary, dear, that wreath of flowers is so becoming, did you just win the Kentucky Derby?

He would have been what we call a "man lover." The letters he wrote to his dear friend were definitely scandalous.

He married because that's what was expected of him. People need to understand that homosexual men stilled married women in those times because men were groomed to marry and have children.

R13, so are we to infer from this Lincoln letter that his son Robert was a demanding bottom? I find this hard to believe. I would think that the son of the president would be a vulgar, nasty top.

YASSS KAWEEN!

Oh, bullshit R10. Not in America, or we wouldn't still be fighting to be recognized as people. It was unthinkable to some people back then. Which is why we have to only guess Lincoln was and don't know for sure.

Power Top. Totally masc!

There's no real evidence that Lincoln was gay, just a lot of very silly, outlandish speculation and unsubstantiated gossip.

R18 Actually, there was a lot of same-sex sex occurring. It just wasn't seen as being an identity, because sex of any sort wasn't spoken about. Read the letters of South Carolina Governor, Senator, and Congressman James H. Hammond and his lover he met at South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina) interestingly it wasn't his homosexual relationship, that led to the end of his political career, but a scandal that involved him and his four nieces. It really wasn't until FDR made a huge deal out of sailors frequenting the Art Club and YMCA in Newport, R.I., when he was the assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1919, that there was a true gay panic in this country.

Was he gay?

I dunno, dahling. He nevah sucked my top hat!

There was a tree full of parrots, a birthday tablecloth and an Ungaro frock underneath that top hat.

He was a big ol homo. Loved rimming men.

The original American BDF

Use a poll

He had some kind of disease. Freeing blacks led to a lot of rape and murder. Bill Cosby,oj, Michael jackson

He used to beat the shit out of his wife.

He was so ugly he had to marry a crazy woman to get a fuck

And to think Lincoln is the republicans original ronald reagan.

....

r29 Modern historians think that Mary was not crazy and Abe and Rob put her in institutions to shut her up.

He was a vampire hunter.

Lincoln was one of the Best. Gay or not. Brilliant and soulful man who had a challenging life but rose above all adversity.

POZ FACE!!!

Based on OP’s pic, he really needed to moisturize.

Of course he was gay. Yes, they didn’t use the word “gay” in those days, but so what? It would make a world of difference to gaylings all over the country if historians could just come out and say it: One of the best presidents was gay.

No “straight” man of his day or now would rhapsodize of his lover’s thighs! Thats because he wasn’t straight. He was gay.

"Every single good person is straight or bisexual and all evil people are secretly gay. Therefore anyone who does anything good cannot be a gay man." God forbid anyone bad be compared to me."

Nice try, tranny revisionist.

Who wanted to ship the coloreds back to Africa.

I’m no historian, but is it possible that many African Americans at that time might’ve wanted to return to their homeland?

All hail Marcus Garvey!

C.A. Tripp wrote an entire book arguing that he was gay, or at least bisexual.

Did Mary Todd's pussy stink?

It really was so different back then, I think he had had more than one male lover. He was extremely intelligent, he did not live by other peoples mores. Sorry I spelled that wrong.

Lincoln was a pretty large guy and Mary looked tiny. Maybe they did not fit that well?

Well, personally, I think that if no one gives a shit about bisexual dolphins and lesbian seagulls, then no one should care about gay/bi sexual humans!

Josh got that lanky stovepipe nightly for years.

Abe died while watching a play. The Original Theatre Queen.

Poor Lincoln. President during one of the worst periods in American history. Married to a crazy woman. Sons all dying off like flies. And yet he was an outstanding leader. What a remarkable man.

Honey, let's just say he was very focused on picking out the flamingo-shaped napkins , if you know what I mean.
