Someone forgot about Lincoln.
Explain?
Mainstream historians generally hold that Lincoln was heterosexual,[2][3] noting that the historical context explains any of the supposed evidence.[4] Lincoln had romantic ties with women, and he had four children in an enduring marriage to Mary Todd Lincoln.[5] However, his intense bonds with men may or may not have had more meaning to them, with one notable case being his close friend Joshua Speed, with whom Lincoln lived together – and slept in the same bed as – for four years.
So he was bi
Probably
They were roommates
Abraham Lincoln was a homosexual.
I was always under the impression he was bi, but in love with a man. That said, regardless he cared deeply for his wife (as often happened in lavender marriages).
There's also Buchanan who never married in a time period where a successful man refusing to marry was a choice with implications
Explain more?
Lincoln had a habit of sharing his bed with men for extended periods of time.
haha cool
Yeah, and not even in a "that's a thing men did back then" way. Sharing beds wasn't uncommon, but it was usually more like them crashing with you for a few days. He shared a bed with a "roommate" for like 4 years.
