Abraham Lincoln was gay

oh my word he was the gayest and his most notable male lovers were 

  • Joshua Fry Speed 
    • a bed salesman/ inn keeper
    • he and Lincoln met when he was 28 and Speed was around 22 b/c Abe was practicing law and he was poor so he had to rent out a room
    • when Lincoln couldn’t afford a room and bed Joshua was just like “why don’t you share my bed with me 😘” 
    • they lived together for four whole years 
    • also when Speed had to go back to Kentucky (they were in Illinois together at this point) Lincoln actually suffered what historians consider a nervous breakdown, he wrote in his diaries a lot about how depressed he was during this time
    • they still wrote each other letters though and remained friends until Lincoln died
  • David Derickson 
    • the commanding officer of his guards while he was President
    • he even had his own special bed in the White House that they would share
    • they had their own getaway cottage on the outskirts of the White House’s borders I kid you not
    • ALSO
    • HE ACTUALLY LEGITIMATELY WORE LINCOLN’S NIGHT SHIRT OKAY
    • THEY WERE NOT SUBTLE
    • THOMAS CHAMBERLAIN HAD THE TEA ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP, HE WROTE IT ALL DOWN
