So ole Honest Abe was queer and wanted to deport all the blacks

Quote from 377OHMS:

It seems clear that his wife was the ultimate psycho bitch from hell so there is that factor.

I doubt very much that a spouse can turn someone gay, which is what you are alluding. Is that the excuse you plan to use when you summon up the courage to leave your closet?

Like it did for Pastor Ted, you mean? Or bathroom enthusiast Republican Senator Larry Craig?

So you're saying Abe was in fact gay.

I missed that particular segment of the History Channel show in question.
The only thing I heard was that Abe wasn't much of a ladies man. Not the details behind the statement.
Being married with children certainly puts a dampener on the gay claim.

Well, this isn't to say that it's impossible that Lincoln was, in fact, homosexual, but there seems to be as much actual evidence for that as for him having been one of the X-Men. Such a claim is all the more suspect, given the ulterior motive involved. Even the idea that he had a difficult relationship with women originates w/ the same source, which does make the whole thing extremely suspect.

No, because I have no idea as I had mentioned earlier. I'm just saying your point about his being married and having children is a non sequitur. Did I really have to explain it to you?

Gayfly your conversation has become tedious. You lose every argument and are simply crushed in every exchange but lack the shame to just fuck off and leave.

You are a huge walking turd and it wouldn't surprise me to find out that you have a psycho bitch from hell as your wife if you have a woman at all. It would explain much.

Your wife drove you to buggery. Q.E.D.

So you're just saying Lincoln COULD be gay.

That is sound analysis.

Quote from Martinghoul:

No, I just find it curious that the idea that Lincoln was gay arose because it was advocated aggressively by C. A. Tripp, a famous gay activist (no doubt to further a particular agenda). Given that Lincoln was married, had, what, 4 children and there's zero actual evidence that he was homosexual, Lincoln's, how do I say it, more traditional biographers all seem to agree that he wasn't gay. I can understand why the History Channel would air controversial ideas (anything for viewership), but I was curious why the OP feels the need to propagate such notions. Ah well, I am resigned to it remaining a mystery.

I agree... it is a queer rewrite.
Same thing seems to have been done to Alexander the Great.

You can no longer trust historians to not have an agenda.
I wonder if that has always been the case.

Well that was the plan until he was quoted the price for shipping.

Take them half way and then tell them to pony up or swim? I'm just sayin', every situation has some kind of a solution that works..

Here is the show I saw.
