I wouldn't be surprised if Vidal has been the perpetrator of the Lincoln gay theory since he himself is gay and he wrote a novel about Lincoln. Probably those ideas originally surfaced in his novel although I never read it and can't say for sure. I just know that it's through literary and media devices that gays further their agenda so Vidal probably used that tactic.
As far as Lincoln sleeping in another man's bed....that's the same reason they give for their theory that Richard the Lion Heart was gay. Bunch of hogwash. Men often slept in other men's bed in the old days. VERY VERY common. They did not have the ideas of privacy that we have now nor often the resources to have their own beds. Also heating of course was not as developed so body heat was a pragmatic factor.
Only slime furthers these theories. The gay agenda is everywhere.

George Washington, William Wallace, Sir Isaac Newton, Michangelo, Willie Mays, Jesus Christ, etc.
