Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln

This was both extremely well produced and informed, and also entertaining and reveals a true history of LGBTQ peoples history in America. The Civil War over human rights mirrors what we see happening today with those in power using fear of the "other" to remain in control and divide our citizens. If someday we the people could stop being afraid of each other and realize that it's not us causing the problems, it's those who seek to control all and use us for their profit. The reenactment was sweet and caring and showed Lincoln as an entire and complicated person who was truly empathetic and kind. Made my bestie go with me and we had so much fun for watching a biopic.

Lover of Men offers a fresh and intimate look at Abraham Lincoln, shedding light on aspects of his personal relationships that traditional history often overlooks. Through meticulous research and documented evidence, the film challenges conventional narratives, inviting viewers to explore a side of Lincoln that feels both human and complex.

With a seamless blend of visuals, archival material, and interviews, it delivers an emotional and thought-provoking experience. Lover of Men is essential viewing for anyone interested in history's untold stories and the personal forces that shape public legacies.

Feel the need to start by saying I have no problem with Abraham Lincoln being gay; in fact, with no prior knowledge of historical documentation, it does not surprise me that he stepped out with men in the sense that, as the movie itself states, homosexuality was only an issue for a lot of folks in the 1900s and the idea that it was a duty for a man like Lincoln to marry and have heirs was more of an issue in his time over who he has fun with as a bachlor.

I'll admit I did find the evidence and the dramatization of Lincolon's relationships with men laughable. This is mostly a knock to the filmmaker's style. He made a movie subtitled The Untold story of Abraham Lincoln so he stretches out what felt like a 12min topic as lengthy as possible to justify a documentary that's almost two hours. I could be wrong about the info all together but it just felt like there was not enough and they just became too detailed and drawn out to the point that it made me giggle, but to be fair, I think Lincoln as the subject matter worked to get me in the seat, and the full range of the movie deals with the concept of homosexuality as a construct. For me, it was a perfect juxtaposition that they used Lincoln, best known for ending slavery, to compare racism and homophobia. I'm not the person who needs the speech, but I got the message, and I loved it. If anything, the film expresses something I believe in, and it will make it easier for me to express my opinion. Thanks.

A triumph.

Brings all new meaning to the moniker "rail splitter".

Anyone who thinks that historical revisionism is junk (social) science needs to watch this to be convinced otherwise. As some genius recently said: "the science IS SETTLED".

There is no agenda here. There is no narrative-pushing. This is just pure, unadulterated fact-spitting. The facts come so hard and fast that I can't even recall a single one.

Like my gram used to tell me, "I don't care what they say in school, Lincoln was a fruit." Thank you, Gram.

I simply cannot wait for the sequels on John Wayne, Wilt Chamberlain and JFK.

Abraham Lincoln was a gay man who married a woman to advance his political career. He had several male lovers but American history had a way of keeping this covered up for over a hundred years. Abraham Lincoln had a male lover in the White House while he was President of the United States. This documentary proves that he had several male lovers throughout his lifetime and that he had to hide this side of his true nature. After many years of speculation, finally, the truth is revealed. It is spectacular that we had a gay President of the United States. We should be proud of the fact that one of our greatest presidents of all time was a gay man.
