President Lincoln: Gay as a Maypole

When Abe Lincoln moved to Springfield, Illinois, he met Joshua Speed, who became a close friend, though that's what John G. Nicolay and John Hay, two early biographers, called it. However, Lincoln and Speed shared a bed for four years, and Lincoln's letters to Speed before and after Speed's wedding in 1842 are as queer as can be, with several of them signed ''Yours forever.''

So, President Lincoln wants to take you to a gay bar, or at least that's the title of this entertaining video for your enjoyment. Cheers, from My Small Gay World.
