Lincoln was quite progressive for his time even in his early years. His second Inaugural address stands as his final testament.

All of the founding fathers were rank hypocrites yet still struggled with the issue of slavery.

Now lets move on to more pressing concerns....was Lincoln gay? < /sarc>

Well, he let Walt Whitman in the White House. That should tell you something. ;-)

No, but Nathan Bedford Forrest and Robert E. Lee were Gay. We should make the Confederate Battle Flag the new Gay Pride flag if you ask me.

All of the pictures of Lincoln show him to be somber and sober, not gay or happy.
