Why did Lincoln give a carve out to the River Parish baws on slavery?

The River Parishes were occupied by Union troops. No areas under Union control were affected by the Proclamation - most notably the border states of Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. Lincoln didn't want to incite the slaves states that were still in the Union.

So the Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to Union occupied areas?

No, it did not. It was a political move on his part.

Lincoln said he did not care about the issue of slavery, he cared about winning the war.

In August 1862, Lincoln stated: "If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."

That kind of shits all over the narrative that the war was started over slavery

Nope. It freed slaves in Confederate areas.

And seeing as the confederacy was well within its rights to break off from DC, what he did was grossly unconstitutional and frick him for it. That piece of shite exponentially grew the power of the federal government more than any single president in history until FDR.

The argument that supports the narrative of slavery is a lot of the confederate states state in their secession documents that slavery was one of the reasons to leave the union. So the narrative is not cut and dry. It's highly nuanced.

All I know is the civil war was unnecessary in terms of slavery. Slavery was being outlawed around western and South American civilized areas on their own without civil war because it was immoral and mechanization was starting to take over. Mechanization was getting cheaper than slaves. The Civil War was unnecessary and too costly.

Since the Southern states seceded, wouldn't that make them foreign states? Meaning the Constitution would no longer apply, and the seceding states and citizens would no longer benefit from ANY constitutional protections.

Lincoln may have been LGBTQ, but he definitely wasn’t the first. James Buchanan was certainly gay. There were a lot of rumors around a few other 19th century presidents as well.
