Historians have tried to hide lincolns bi-sexuality since day one. I truly believe these claims were true ! Lincoln was a man that was not happy in marriage and was a very depressed person. Times were different then. However lincoln liked both sides!

does that make him a sodoman or pedo? not likely.
it was not necessarily romantic or sexual if the 2 gentlemen shared beds.
it is very likely that they were just very good friends. Lincoln appointed Speed's brother as U.S. attorney general. also contradicting the supporters of Lincoln being bisexual; Speed got married to a female and had few children.
btw, I used to have that big book about Lincoln written by Carl Sandburg. wish I'd kept it.
I don't like Lincoln for some of the things that he did. He was in a way, americas' first dictator.
