*sigh*

" I personally like to think that man might also have been Lincoln's lover."

What you like to think and facts are not necessarily the same thing.

" since you're offended by the very notion that the man in question might also have been Lincoln's lover."

No where did I imply I was offended by whether or not he had a male lover. I am offended when people accept heresay as fact in order to forward an agenda.

"since you're offended by the very notion that the man in question might also have been Lincoln's lover"... "I, however, unlike you," Assumption made only by infering something not implied.

Please do a bit of research on the counter arguments to Tripps book before coming off all dogmatic. This is even worse than your assurtion that the only men entitled to be called founding fathers' are the ones who actually were involved in the writing of the Constitution, why? because some guy asserted it in a paper.

I have tried to keep this a reasonable discussion even though you have all but acussed me of being a homophobe or a bigot, I give you the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully I will have learned my lesson this time.
