Hey, this is interesting from today's Dallas Morning News... "Report
that Lincoln was gay stirs anger in Illinois town."

http://www.dallasnews.com/national/0624nat1lincoln.htm

I note that even his defenders say that, "Sure, we know that he shared a
bed with another fellow for four years, but mattresses were expensive,
and he couldn't afford one." Another admirer said, "I know that he
slept with the guy, but hey, it gets cold in Illinois and the houses
weren't heated."

Yeah, sure.
