No, this is not one of the two.. I've always said he was gay, though.
Dapper Dresser, eh?
This is not one of the previously mentioned cases....but it sure is interesting!
In L.A. Weekly columnist Doug Ireland reports that a forthcoming book asserts the 16th President was gay.
[Author C.A.] Tripp also found, based on multiple historical accounts, that Lincoln attained puberty unusually early, by the age of 9 or 10 — early sexualization being a prime Kinsey indicator for same-sex proclivities. Even Lincoln’s stepmother admitted in a post-assassination interview that young Abe "never took much interest in the girls." And Tripp buttresses his findings that Lincoln was a same-sex lover with important new historical contributions.No shock to me, really. I recall watching a PBS American Experience in which it was mentioned that Lincoln was emotionally distant from his parents...hmmm. It's no secret that Abe and Mary Todd's relationship was not overly intimate, they even had separate bedrooms in the White House. I have heard for years that Lincoln shared a bed for a number of years with Joshua Speed.
