The Abe Lincoln love letters to 4 different men and sharing a bed with them has me more than curious. And, forgive me, George Washington hiring sodomites for officers seems a bit queer.

The Abe Lincoln love letters to 4 different men and sharing a bed with them has me more than curious.

That question was addressed at length on a thread yesterday.

Bottom line: men sharing beds was no big deal back in Lincoln's day and had nothing to do with sex.

Even the Log Cabin Republicans agree: they don't claim he was gay, only that "he built the Republican Party on the priciples of liberty and equality".
