wait—I know that California is pushing their whole “gay history” thing, but they aren’t seriously saying Lincoln was gay, right?

*Snicker* then maybe they will say that Booth was a spurned lover. Or a vicious homophobe.

But seriously—are they teaching Lincoln was gay?

Not that I know of, but seriously gays have made a lot of the friendship between Lincoln and Josh Speed, in part because Lincoln and Speed once shared a bed above Speed's store. In an age where a traveler might have to share a bed in an inn with one or more strangers and privacy was a rare luxury even in family homes, this meant nothing. But these guys are for propaganda's; sake dredging up the details of history in return for heroes, this is the sort of thing they must rely on.
