Last year, my friend Phil told me that Abraham Lincoln was a bisexual man, but I didn't believe him. Then he gave me a book on the subject, by the famous sex researcher C.A. Tripp, and I was more convinced that Phil might be right. In a recent change.org article, the author talks about a new generation of historians who believe this to be true about Lincoln and aren't afraid to talk about it.
I am not one of those gay guys who thinks everyone is queer. But I do think the truth should not be covered up about important historic figures if they were gay or bi, given that young gay people need role models and heroes growing different in a straight world.
