LGBT (also GLBT) is an acronym referring collectively to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/transsexual people.
The sexuality of James Buchanan is debated. Buchanan was the fifteenth president of the United States. Some historians have proposed that he may have been homosexual. This theory was publicized by James Loewen in the book Lies Across America. Loewen did not originate the theory, however. Many of Buchanan's contemporaries speculated that he was gay.

C. A. Tripp wrote a book claiming that Lincoln was gay, but that theory was shot down immediately.

NOTE: The book entitled "The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln," was written 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.
