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.
Homosexual Agenda Ping. (Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.)
Ooookay, here's another one. I'll try to find the last couple of threads where the "Honest Abe was Gay" myth was dismantled. In the meantime, for your reading pleasure, a link to the book that told the truth about the "gay" agenda. Why truth, you ask? Well, for starters, it was penned by a couple of homosexual activists detailing their plans for the future.
It's amazing how much of the plan has come to be.

After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90's
by Marshall Kirk, Hunter Madsen
50) Infer and speculate that famous historical figures were gay for two reasons: first, they are dead as a door nail, hence in no position to deny the truth and sue for libel; (page 188)
And that, my friend, is where the "Log Cabin Renuplicans" got the log cabin part of their name - Old Honest Abe was "one of them".
Yeah, right. This has been taken apart several times on FR.
LOL! That's what I get for my arrogance of not previewing.
"Renuplicans" - I wonder what they are, people who marry again and again, each time with a pre-nup?
REPUBLICANS, lj!
AOh yes!!!!! I shudder to think what is next. Abe Lincoln was about as gay as I am!!
Read John Adams letters to his wife. He talks a lot about the night he spent in bed with Ben Franklin -- arguing about keeping the window open or closed. You figure high falut'n guys like them on Govb'ment expense accounts could have sprung for seperate rooms at the Holiday Inn. They were must have been fags. ;~))
< / revisoinist history mode off >
It is far better to apply Lincoln's own attitude, to the future, as stated the month before his death: With Malice towards none; with Charity towards all.

lol thats cuz there is no age old debate. These are the same people who said "claim intimidation even where there is none.
IMO they should be strung up, Lincoln is not alive to defend his own honor, someone should! This is slander and libel, pure and simple!
Not only that, according to these professional liars, any man who spends any amount of time bonding with a friend, camping, fishing, playing pool, what have you, is a closet gay.

D**n people are infiltrating all the tv shows. You can't watch any of them anymore without that crap being thrust into your face.
It's a shame, I had a few facorites, but can't watch them now. ;(
my better half is a ciil war buff. No way was abe gay.
spellcheck is my friend LOL favorites in one post, civil in the next!! sorry
be glad when this mass insanity passes.
I know it is an Abesurdity.
My high school teacher told the class that Lincoln was gay about 30 years ago. He said it was obvious from Lincoln's own writings.
My guess is your high school teacher was gay. Closeted 30 years ago, but yearning for young boys.
