New Abraham Lincoln Documentary Suggests Former President Had a Secret Gay S3x Life: ‘An Important Missing Piece of American History’

Was Abraham Lincoln the original log cabin Republican?

We hear tell that a new documentary on Honest Abe posits that the 16th president was gay.

Promo copy for the new project, “Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln,” reads: “As told by preeminent Lincoln scholars and never before seen photographs and letters, the film details Lincoln’s romantic relationships with men.”

The movie delves “into the history of human sexual fluidity and focuses on the profound differences between sexual mores of the 19th century and those we hold today. The film fills in an important missing piece of American history and challenges the audience to consider why we hold such a limited view of human sexuality.”

Directed by Shaun Peterson, the film explores Lincoln’s deep ties with daring, dashing guys and includes interviews with historians from Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Wellesley and Rutgers.

One expert sums it up: “Lincoln probably slept in the same bed with more men than he did with women.”

The topic is having a moment in pop culture.

Comedic actor Cole Escola plays Mary Todd Lincoln in the new Broadway show, “Oh, Mary!,” which follows the weeks leading up to Lincoln’s assassination.

The wild show has been called by Variety “unquestionably the funniest, gayest, campiest play Broadway has seen in years.”

The Post said of the show, “Escola, in grandiose Wednesday Addams drag (the costumes by Holly Pierson are a character, themselves), brilliantly plays Mary as a raging alcoholic and bored, acid-tongued housewife whose dreams of becoming a cabaret star and performing her ‘madcap medlies’ are thwarted by her absentee husband, Abe.”

In the show, The Post added in its rave review, “not-so-honest Abe is having a sleazy dalliance with a naïve soldier named Simon.”
