Event Will 'Emancipate' Abe Lincon From the Closet
Cybercast News Service ^ | 4/12/05 | Susan Jones

A homosexual advocacy group is planning to hold a discussion on 'gay icons' in US history'--including President Abe Lincoln--at part of its national celebration at Philadelphia's Independence Hall later this spring.

Equality Forum is organizing a 'national celebration' to mark the 40th anniversary of the 'gay civil rights movement' which it says began with a small demonstration at Independence Hall years before the Stonewall riots in New York City.

The panelists include a 'recognized expert' on Eleanor Roosevelt, and the editor of CA Tripp's new book 'The Initmate Life of Abraham Lincoln' in a panel discusson of 'closeted public leaders.'

'Governor McGreavey showed mainsream Americans that homophobia has kept those who seek elected office in the closet,' said Malcom Lazin, executive director of Equality Forum.

'These public officials include Abraham Lincoln, who saved the nation, emancipated the slaves and founded the modern Republican Party.

Lazin said he has read 'The Intimate Life of Abraham Linclon'. 'As a gay man and an amateur historian, I find the evidence indisputable that the 16th President of the United States, Abe Lincoln, was a gay man.

'Anyone not blinded by homophobia will recognize that the president who preserved our republic was gay. It is time that US historical figures be emancipated from the closet.'

Can't we find someone so void of morality, so blind to the truth, whose conscience is so seared, just like these people, who can write books about all the homosexual heroes being closet heterosexuals just mocking the gays?

Conservative historians?? How bout just plain old honest historians? The homophiles intend to claim nearly every great leader/scientist/inventor/writer/ was really a homosexual--the name of the game is normalize perversion.

I guess they're just trying to rewrite history so they can say, "See, that guy was gay too. In fact, everyone in history was gay. You see now? It's normal."

Oh, yeah? Well, as a straight man and an amateur psychologist, I find the evidence indisputable that you're nuts.

This is old news. When I was in graduate school (1991), one of the radical feminist lesbo-American activists was awarded a Ph.D. in history for presenting a disseration that posited that Lincoln was a closet homosexual and child molestor who secretly murdered his son Willie.

Of course, she presented not one shred of primary source documentation, or any ancillary anectodal evidence in the form of personal journals and such. But the department chair -- himself a gay activist -- decided her position "felt" right, and the comittee awarded her a doctrate in history.

Last I heard, she was teaching at Cal Berkeley.

Let's assume for a moment that Lincoln was homosexual ( a big assumption). We also know from the way he lived, that he did not want this to be common knowledge. He married and fathered children, being the most obvious evidence.

Does the right of a person to maintain his privacy not take precedence over the desire of these people to bring this information forward?

We couldn't possibly do that because that would put Hills in a bad political situation!

I was half expecting the organizers of this conference to start quoting Doug Danger from the Phil Hendrie show, who is a 'gay man and a gay journalist.'

Lincoln was a Christian, but maybe that's just because he suspected that Jesus was gay 150 years before leftist 'intellectuals' did.

LOL Once someone worth respecting dies, they become a homosexual according to the homo activists.

They are so transparent. Well, maybe not to the leftist loons who want to believe this stuff.
