Demagogue

Sausage-Neck Goldberg weighs in on the new book suggesting that Abraham Lincoln might have been gay (or at least bi-sexual). Goldberg doesn't think it really matters - what matters is that, if Lincoln was indeed gay, he kept it in the closet

If Lincoln did gay stuff in private, he did not do it in public. He got married, had kids and never for a moment advocated that society or government should create social space for homosexuals. Indeed, if one were so inclined, one could take the available evidence and say "See! Lincoln's gayness proves that if homosexuals just stay in the closet, they can achieve great things!"

I'm inclined to think that Goldberg is one of those who is inclined to make exactly this argument.

So there you go Frederick and Zoe and all of our gay and/or bi-sexual readers: you can all accomplish great things is only you'd stop being so damned open about your homosexuality!
