Yet another example of the media’s sensationalism is on display with a new documentary, ‘Lover of Men’. This film audaciously suggests that Abraham Lincoln, one of our nation’s most revered presidents, engaged in intimate relationships with men.

The film, which purports to “examine the intimate life of America’s most consequential president”, is set to be released on September 6.

The evidence for this scandalous claim? Alleged letters written by Lincoln to his supposed male lovers.

A letter featured in the trailer reads: “Dear Speed, I shall be very lonesome without you, love Lincoln.” It seems this Speed was a long-standing friend of Lincoln’s.

The film even ventures to suggest that Lincoln and Speed shared a bed for a period of four years.

‘Lover Of Men’ purports to provide a wide-ranging exploration of human s**ual fluidity throughout history, contrasting nineteenth-century norms with contemporary views on s**uality, according to the movie’s synopsis.

Claiming to fill an important gap in American history, this film dares viewers to question their understanding of human s**uality.

However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that historical documents can be interpreted in numerous ways. The trend among some filmmakers and writers to view historical figures through a modern lens often results in distorted perspectives and misleading narratives.
