      That’s an interesting article I hadn’t seen, thanks. And while I doubt anyone would be able to say definitively one way or the other at this point, from that article it sounds like the evidence that he was homosexual or bi is…pretty thin. At best.

        It’s all fluid anyway… He could have been pansexual, or demisexual (or maybe even something else really cool that I don’t even know about yet). As far as I know Speed was his only possible known male suitor.

        Please note: I’m not even close to an expert on Lincoln, and this comment was based almost entirely on memory of when the History Channel used to actually show historical documentaries (plus maybe a little Drunk History mixed in).
