Well I'll try and stick to the actual point of the thread which is about a theory of Abraham Lincoln being gay. This is about history just as the controversial thoughts about Alexander the Great being bisexual.

It's an interesting piece of history and if there is any basis of truth or reason for it to be possible I don't see why it shouldn't be investigated. It's part of the mans character. Too many people just want to cover there ears, scream "lalalalala" and not hear it as if learning that he is gay will ruin peoples perceptions on him.

So far I haven't heard any real reasons for thinking he's gay though. It's stupid speculation based on bodyguards sleeping in close proximity and stuff like that. Not convinced yet, that could easily be interpreted as a security measure.
