• W1481148051 abstract "Probably the most controversial?certainly the most newsworthy? issue in Lincoln studies today is the question of whether Lincoln was gay or had sexual relations with some of his male companions. That discussion began to simmer in the popular media in the mid-1990s but has been given greater credence and focus by the posthumous pub lication of C. A. Tripp's book, The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln.1 Whatever one thinks of the merits of the discussion, it is important to forthrightly confront questions about Lincoln's sexuality because this is an issue that threatens to become highly divisive within the world of Lincolnists and highly misleading for the larger culture. Discussion of the topic in the popular press and on the Internet has not engaged the evidence in a meaningful way but has tended to repeat the same accusations and denials. Instead, this is precisely the kind of issue that Lincolnists should approach in a scholarly and thoughtful man ner before inaccurate stories and unsupported conclusions become so widespread that they cannot be corrected. Tripp has performed the valuable service of bringing together in one place a great deal of evidence and information, all of which for the sake of analysis may be placed in one of two categories. There is what might be called circumstantial evidence: that as a young man Lincoln allegedly lacked interest in eligible women, or that he allegedly began puberty at an unusually early age, which Tripp argues is correlated to homosexuality in adult men. On its own, this circumstantial evidence could never convince a skeptic, though it can perhaps add depth and texture to the discussion of the second category of evidence, which might be called the direct evidence: that Lincoln is known to have slept in the same bed with a number men, including the closest friend of his young adulthood, Joshua Speed. Lincoln's relationships with Speed and other men in Illinois with whom he shared a bed have" @default.
