And Abraham Lincoln was a gay man. Or whatever.
Who cares?
That was my first reaction, but as we have learned since 1970 (or 60s), once the argument over the rewrite is started, it will continue.
“Who cares?”
Apparently there are a number of people here who do care. If you don’t, fine, but why even bother involving yourself in the thread then?
In Lincoln’s day, men traveling would sometimes stay overnight in a boarding house or type of motel in which lodgers would rent a bed or part of a bed. You might have two or three men in the same bed. Personally, I’d sleep on the floor before I’d sleep in a bed with a man I didn’t know. But this is virtually the entire argument made that Lincoln was gay. I don’t think there’s any evidence he was, but some of the proponents of the homosexual lifestyle often proclaim this or that famous person was in the closet. Sometimes true, usually not.
Educated people care, and others should not be posting.
