celestialfrayWell, this is certainly interesting.
I'm doing an assignment for my GLBT seminar class where we got a topic to do a presentation on. It's due tomorrow (Yeah, I'm just starting it) and my topic was: Lincoln and Joshua Speed. I had thought it had something to do with some quote about homosexuality or something but apparently there's this rumor out there akin to that of Jefferson and Sally Hemmings that Joshua was not just Lincoln's really close friend but actual lover. They wrote deep emotional and sometimes secret letters to each other and both were awkward with women and had to push each other to get married. (they had a fear of marriage) And this gay rights rabblerouser claims to have more explicit documentation like that of Joshua's personal diary and other explicit letters.
Woah, real people slash that could actually have been real.
