Honest Abe was bi.

[trof]

and didn't really like girls all that much.
"They" just said so on CNN.
Will "they" take him off the penny?
What happens to the Lincoln Memorial?
Festooned with pink ribbons?
That's what I'd like to see.
Any DC DUers like to have a go at it?

How about Lincoln Continentals?
New ad campaign?
"Drive a Lincoln. Queer ride for the semi-straight guy."

That griiinnnding sound you hear is the repub gnashing of teeth.
hee

Note to my G&L friends here: If you find this in the least offensive let me know and I'll self delete.

1. I think you've hit the nail on it's head!

The GLBT movement needs to "reclaim Lincoln!"

I can imagine Abe sitting there with the rainbow flag flying proudly overhead. Republicans may just have to "cleansed" from the Republican party.

[trof]

3. Damn, I KNEW there was more than just "G&L".

GLBT
This old brain just don't work so good sometimes.
Yep, it's time to take back the party.

2. I got a lot of crap for posting an article about this book which

claimed he might have been gay.

Wonder how long it'll take 'em to find this thread!

[trof]

4. I guess it depends on the tone?

Or context.
I think I've established my bona fides here.
Being gay is not something to be demeaned, which was not my intent.
Having said that, I'm a big boy and I got my Nomex undies on.

5. No wonder he kept that big stovepipe hat sitting in his lap...

Hello there, sailor...buy you a drink?

[trof]

8. Don't turn this into one of those ESS EE EX threads.

Skating close to the edge now.
;-)

11. Oh yeah

This guy was as queer as the day is long.

He could use a makeover though. Abe Lincoln on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy...

There is a comedy sketch in there somewhere.

[newsguyatl]

6. yeh, this has been known in gay circles for some time now

his long time lover was joshua speed...

glad to see it hitting mainstream.

[IronLionZion]

7. There are a lot of gay Republicans

GOP really stands for "Gay Old Party"

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. Brings new meaning to the term "log cabin republicans"

yeah that joke sucked...how did the term log cabin republican come about?

[AlienGirl]

12. For Lincoln's log cabin

[StClone]

10. The Dems would love to Claim him

But being a mystery about his gay/bi nature with or without ending slavery sure makes him GOP material.
