More Gay Lincoln

After discussing the gay Lincoln issue around the office today, I was referred to this article by the ever readable Victor Davis Hanson about the bisexual title character portrayed in Oliver Stone's flop film, Alexander. Although he often writes about politics, Hanson is a classical scholar, and paints a detailed picture of sexual life in Alexander's time. The bottom line is that it is impossible to use 21st century sensibilities--let alone labels--to explain sexual mores of an age that ended thousands of years ago. The same may be true of Lincoln's age.
