Filmmaker Shaun Peterson contends that the bulk of scholarly work on the life of President Abraham Lincoln is wrong. According to Peterson, Lincoln was a homosexual who preferred the company of men—a case he argues in a new documentary, Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln, released on July 10.
The documentary “examines the intimate life of America’s most consequential president, Abraham Lincoln. As told by preeminent Lincoln scholars and never before seen photographs and letters, the film details Lincoln’s romantic relationships with men.”
