NEW YORK, Dec 16, 2004 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- The age-old debate of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln's sexuality is due to be stirred up with the release of an author's determination Lincoln was gay.
In "The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln," to be published next month by Free Press, the late author C.A. Tripp claims Lincoln had a homosexual relationship with the captain of his bodyguards, David Derickson, who shared his bed whenever Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd, was away.
Tripp died last year, two weeks after completing 10 years of research on the book, the New York Times said.
Tripp charts Lincoln's relationships with other men, including Joshua Speed, with whom he shared a bed for four years, and Billy Greene, with whom Lincoln also shared a bed in New Salem, Ill. Greene reportedly said Lincoln's thighs "were as perfect as a human being could be."
In researching the 16th president and founder of the Republican party, Tripp created a large database of cross-indexed material, which is now available at the Lincoln Library in Springfield, Ill.
Where's that "Gee, not this sh&t again" pic?
There is some kind of psychotic disease that causes these people to seek to pervert the sexuality of all historical figures.
Oh sure, I read that Abe Lincoln had the first gay biker sushi bar. That is where he created bi-sexual mud-wrestling and effeminate lisping as a form of speech for those who are gay.
He was also the dress designer for Edger Hoover.
actually, Mary Todd was a lesbian..Abe was..ahem, dare I say it?.. a "beard"
It is a fact of nature that every famous person who is dead was gay. All dead homeless men, dope dealers etc. of course were flamming heterosexuals.

Here we go again,
Same old song again.
Or, as I like to say:
Second verse, same as the first. These people really are pushing this crap waaaay too far.
QUICK, CALL OLIVER STONE!!! The Revisionist History Squad must be put on alert immediately!
(I see at least a docu-drama, if not a full length (6 hour) feature film!)
insecurity & guilt. The more normal people that they can taint as being poofers, the better they feel being two-fisted up the arse.
Age old debate??? First I ever heard of that!
navychick,
"pushing crap" is not an insult to the poofers, its a routine activity.
Actually the effeminate lisping was King Philip of Spain.
(Actually, I don't think I know any women who lisp!)
Oh geeze, not this crap again.
More likely just another demented Defender of Slaverocracy. These nuts are consumed with hatred for Abe because he kicked their heroes' (the traitors who tried to destroy the Union and did destroy the South) sorry asses.
EEEWWWWW!!
Now I have to go and clean off my screen, once again!
Good for you!
It was at the gay biker sushi bars where Abe Lincoln outed the real reason he liked to wrestle men. He was thinking of moving to Northern California to open bath houses when he met his end.
The assassin was of course a spurned ex-lover who happened to be the one who started the disco polyester craze.
I think "death" turns historic figures gay.
No, I think even the tried and true confederates in the US aren't likely to slander Abe as a poofer. Only a poofer would want to show he was a poofer. The confederates would never admit to being beaten by a limp-wristed homo.
Now we know where lincoln logs came from.
