In yesterday's NY Times, there was a long discussion of a new book about Lincoln. The thesis of the book is that Lincoln was gay. At the end of the article there are these two paragraphs:
Still, if Lincoln was gay, how did it affect his presidency? Ms. Baker said that his outsider status would explain his independence and his ability to take anti-Establishment positions like the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation. As a homosexual, she said, "he would be on the margins of tradition."
"He is willing to be independent, to do what is right," she said. "It is invested in his soul, in his psyche and in his behavior."
Well, that explains Roy Cohn.
Ms. Baker is not the author of the book.
