The most prominent LGBTQ+ republican organization is call the Log Cabin Republicans and annually present the "Spirit of Lincoln Award". They were founded in the '70s so the idea that Lincoln was LGBTQ+ himself has been around for quite some time.
As a side note, recent recipients of the "Spirit of Lincoln Award" include Melania Trump and Kellyanne Conway who are obviously prominent LGBTQ+ advocates...
Lots of very full leopards around the Log Cabin Republicans I think...
Prob just a "good friend" or "almost like a brother" (stepbrother)?
Maybe they investigated some spooky ghost sightings & were solving a mystery, but then the trap they set up went hilariously wrong comically putting them in positions some onlooker might mistakenly interpret as something else?
