    Lincoln as a Young Man

    Book Questions Abraham Lincoln's Sexuality
    By Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News

    Dec. 8, 2004 — A forthcoming book claims that the sixteenth president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was a homosexual, based on evidence ranging from a post-assassination interview with Lincoln's stepmother to a poem about gay marriage written by the Civil War leader.

    The book, entitled "The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln," will be published on Jan. 11 by The Free Press, a Simon & Schuster company. It was authored by C.A. Tripp, associate professor of psychiatry at the State University of New York, and a researcher who worked closely with Alfred Kinsey on studies concerning human sexuality.

    ...and it is speculation based upon some readings and purported actions by our 16th president. As such, it is conjecture, and conjecture only, and as is the case in such instances, tends to be reported as fact...witness the above question.
