Lincoln is an historically fascinating figure, politically astute. Wasn’t it Kearns Goodwin who made allegations Lincoln was gay?
No, that was someone else. Goodwin in fact has refuted such claims, saying that what was "normal" behavior in the 19th century, might be misconstrued as homosexual behavior today - like sharing a bed with another man whilst staying in a hotel.
Tony Kushner, however, is about as far to the left as you can get, without having a statue of Mao in his front yard. And, he's as queer as a three-dollar bill. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the homosexual meme pushed, if only subtly.
I’ve read Team of Rivals. Enjoyed it. Learned a great deal. If there was anything in it about Lincoln being homosexual, I missed it.
