Discovery+ is the latest brand facing backlash as disgruntled social media users are unhappy with a documentary it produced speculating about Abraham Lincoln's sexuality.


quote:

Titled What They Didn't Teach Us About Abraham Lincoln, the episode explores the long-held theory that the 16th American president was either gay or bisexual.


quote:

The episode, which was first published for Pride Month in 2022, has now resurfaced as a point of ire for conservatives.

"For Pride, Discovery+ is promoting 8 minutes of revisionist history inspired by Queer Theory. Their claim: Abraham Lincoln was a flaming Queer, didn't love his wife & had 4 male lovers. The amount of historical inaccuracies they report to fit the Woke narrative is staggering," wrote one user on Twitter who shared the episode in a tweet that has been viewed around 168,000 times.

I don't think that I need a documentary on it, but it's most certainly been long speculated.

Most women back then weren’t lookers.

What you see today, obese women in bikinis or ripped women in bikinis, wasnt a thing back then.

Wasn't there some bit going around that John Wilkes Booth was actually a jilted lover or some such?

Having a pudgy wife means you like sucking dick? That'll go over well on this board.

She wasn't just pudgy. She was volatile, abusive, and swung a mean frying pan. Ol' Abe may not have been born that way, he could have just been beat into it.

Abe Lincoln wasn't exactly a handsome bastard himself. He's lucky Mary Todd's crazy arse was willing to frick him.

Old Abe loved BBC, which is why the Civil War happened..

Now you know....the rest of the story.
