Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln (2024)

Compelling and well-made documentary. Though it uses reenactments, they seemed to support rather than tweak the information present in letters, newspapers and from scholars. I came away with the belief that -- not only was Lincoln into men -- he wasn't hiding it. Most interesting, though, was that it didn't seem to diminish him in anyone's eyes. Is it actually possible that we're NOT abandoning sexual morals but only rewriting history to drum up disgust and worry? And why am I not surprised?
