Transcript:
Lincoln was queer. Of course, he was married, so he was technically bisexual, but he really preferred guys. There's a lot of evidence that he got it on with Septhan Douglas. Steve broke it off, which broke old Abe's heart. His repressed homosexuality made him angry- so angry that he provoked the Civil War. Eventually he found love in the arms of Robert E. Lee; the Gettysburg Address was his coming-out speech to the gay community using the double-entendres of the time. And John Wilkes Booth? Gay, just ike everyone else! He first met are in the public baths, but it was a one-night stand.
