Nope. You're thinking of President Dwayne Alezando Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, again.

Or Franklin.

Or, in a reality-based turn of events, Jefferson.

That was Jefferson.

Hey, tastes vary. I've gotten some strange propositions from guys sometimes, especially on days when I haven't shaved and look woolly as hell.
hey Freehold, what're you doin' later. *insinuating eyebrow raise*

Surprisingly, going home to put together a bookcase to finally organize the back office. Should I take my shirt off while doing this so everyone can see my mocha semi-flab?

Does it make a difference if, the entire time we were having sex, Lincoln was insisting he was straight?

Was he on top? I understand his arms were pretty long, so he should be a very thoughtful partner as well.

If it's true and the very first Republican president, and one of the greatest presidents ever, was gay would make almost every moral argument from Republicans even more hypocritical than they already are.

If it can be proven beyond a doubt I wonder how long it would take Lincolns party to have his image removed from the Five dollar bill and the penny?

I sure hope no one finds out that the Democratic party used to be the pro-slavery and segregation party. That sure would make them look like a bunch of hypocrites as well. I bet they'd impeach the president if that came out.

The dems are already blatent hypocrites its just more fun to poke at the delusional ones that believe only they are the morale ones.


I suppose I should set the record straight. The reports of Lincoln being gay are completely false because.....

.....THERE WAS NO LINCOLN!!!!

What everyone thought was our 16th President was, in fact, merely a biomechanical suit constructed to house a super-intelligent amoeba from the 30th Century. This insidious spy was sent back in time to ensure that the future where he and his kind rule the earth would actually come to pass. Making sure the Civil War occurred exactly when history tells us it did was all part of that plan. And, since Amoeba are neither male nor female, sexual preference is actually meaningless to them.

Utter poppycock!

Surely Good Lincoln existed. Only a fool would ever imagine that he was a cleverly-devised facsimile of some sort meant to win the hearts and minds of a nation for centuries, to some unknown dark purpose... Only a fool, I say!

All kidding aside, I have never heard that Lincoln was gay.

I have read that he may have had syphilis, though.

EDIT: What sex his partner that may have given it to him, though, was never mentioned.

Apparently Flint has 'outed' President Abraham Lincon as a Homosexual who would invite men up to his log cabin in the Woods while struggling to have a normal relationship with Women.

I suppose if such a rumor had got out during the American Civil War it might have made a difference.

You mean Flynt?

I think the strongest argument against Lincoln being attracted to men was how his wife behaved. She would get into jealous rages over other women, but never a man. Presumably she knew as much as anyone ever did about his sexual preferences.

So much of what everyone "knows" about Lincoln is a myth though for national propaganda purposes.

You are probably more likely to find dirt on Abraham Lincon in Newspapers of the time...

The stovepipe hat was gay. That's where the confusion about Lincoln comes from.

I don't see the problem. Who cares if Abraham Lincoln liked to get it on with guys once in awhile, and so what if Thomas Jefferson liked his women a bit dark complected, and who cares that Grover Cleveland liked to dress up in womens clothing, or That Bill Clinton liked to play with cigars, or even that George W. Bush installed a table with straps into his ranch so Laura could erotically waterboard him. Does any of it really matter?

I'm pretty sure Ben Franklin was in fact Shadow Lord President of the United States of America for at least three terms.

Anyway, this blurb reminds me of why Gore Vidal insists that homosexual is an adjective that describes actions, not people.

No I was thinking that now they have lost out on the ambiguity of his birth certificate, they have decided to attack his choice in personal heroes. Obama's other personal hero was some loudmouth cleric in Chicago.

Fictional characters cant be gay...they can only be alluded to as being gay. For them to be gay, they would need to be real.

And by that same logic fictional characters cant be straight. They can only be alluded to as being straight. For them to be straight, they would need to be real.

Okay... Conan is pretty manly and probably straight... but Spider-man? Come on! He mopes about how his girlfriend died to deflect female interest, and when a girl manages to get him to the altar, he neglects her and spends his time with his manly spandex buddies like Rhino, Electro and Paste-pot Pete...

The answer is no. As Vic pointed out upthread, this comes up from time to time regardless of who is president. Unless you are arguing that people in 1926 were trying to ruin the reputation of Pres. Obama.In 1926 Carl Sandburg wrote about the relationship between Lincoln and Joshua Speed as possessing "a streak of lavender, and spots soft as May violets," which was period slang for homosexual relationships. In fact the original rumors were spread by Lincoln's own law partner and are tracable to his hatred of Mary Lincoln. The only evidence ever really presented that Lincoln was involved with other men is his habit of "co-sleeping" which was actually quite common in those days. The book that came out in 2005 was writen by a gay rights activist, so he certainly could not be motivated by the desire to smear Lincoln for being gay.

You have this exactly backwards.

Conan has 6-pack abs and a hairless chest.

Spidey is a teenager moping about getting laid.

Spidey is clearly the straight one (although that's hardly an endorsement of the straight lifestyle).

As "a gay" myself I'd much rather "have" Conan than spiderman. Conan is a mans man (double entendre alert) and spiderman is a twinky whining loser.
