Hitler was supposedly rumored to be gay as well...does it matter?

Sexuality is so interchangable now that it begs the question does bisexuality even exist any more? I think it's more a case of he's a guy very comfortable in himself and will try anything sexual he fancies :)

My first thought was Nero, good choice. As for not listening to the facts, I'm really not sure what our conservative friends are referring to. People that refer to Abraham Lincoln "starting" the Civil War need to get their facts straight. Lincoln's goal in the Civil War was to keep the Union strong and together. The war was "started" by the Confederacy with the bombing of Fort Sumpter.

Lincoln most certainly did not turn his back on America. Through his determination and perseverance the Union was maintained. Think if we had a man of his integrity available for president now!\n I don't think that presidents have a lot to do with which image appears on coins. Hopefully they are involved in more worthwhile pursuits.

I think it sounds like the person might be bisexual.

I think I read on an aritcle on queerty that he is bisexual. In so many words, he said both sexes do it for him.

I always heard that he was gay. But, many people have rumors started about them. I guess you would have to know him to substantiate that.\n\nWikipedia says, "He never married, although he did propose to two women - one the daughter of a British writer - and was rejected by both."

Most people answer this question with the percentages Dr. Kinsey came up with half a century ago. \n\nThey'll tell you that about 10% of the population is exclusively gay or lesbian, and most of the human population is bisexual, with heterosexuals representing a moderate percentage, fewer of them than bisexuals but more of them than homosexuals.\n\nAs for the truth? Nobody really knows.\n\nDr. Kinsey had some great ideas. His studies were extensive. However, they were based on Western cultures (excluding African, Asian, Polynesian, and Native populations) and were performed before Americans felt they could admit to same-sex partnerships, in a research setting, without being persecuted and losing their homes/families.\n\nI suspect the Dr. also didn't take into account the complications posed by post-operative transsexual activity (for instance, if a person born male has an operation to become physically female, and then has sex with a man, is that person gay? are they heterosexual? does is make a difference if their relationship began before the operation?) because such operations are a modern phenomenon. \n\nPersonally, I would suggest that the majority of people, if asked (even in confidence, in formal interviews) will identify themselves as exclusively heterosexual, but a little prying will reveal that their behavior has been both heterosexual AND homosexual, making them behaviorally bi-sexual. \n\nSo, I guess it comes down to the question: what matters more, the way people see themselves or the labels others put on them? \n\nI think both can be usefull for research purposes, but in real, everyday life, one should respect each person as an individual who has the right to identify themselves in whatever way they choose--as hetero, as gay, as lesbian, as bisexual, or as anything in-between.\n\nAlso, as an anthropologist, I love to remember Margaret Mead's famous quote, "Extreme heterosexuality is a perversion."

As far as we know, no. But some suspect various presidents of being gay.

I am very impressed with him. He was a great governor and has the credentials to run this country. To judge him on looks is stupid. Lincoln would never have been President if his looks were what counted. Warner happens to be a nice looking man, by the way.

they're not. a few people who are gay hide their orientation . By the way , he was accused, it hasn't been proven. Any fool can accuse.

If your intent is simply to arouse jealousy in another person (or some other means to an end), I don't see how that would be considered being bi-sexual.  Of course, that is simply a label anyway, and how helpful of one is it?

It was, like, Abraham Lincoln.

Yes, it is true. Good luck doing it though. Very tough. Abraham Lincoln was a practicing attorney, but had a 3rd grade education. That was 150+ years ago though.
