James Buchanan gay | image tagged in james buchanan gay | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Lincoln? Havent heard that one. Buchanan (Lincoln's prececessor)? Quite possible.

All we know for certain is the Founding Fathers dressed like total queens

Lincoln had a close friend he took traveling with him - even as president. Even shared a bed, although that wasn't necessarily unusual at the time due to home heating not being as adequate as it is today.

Your evidence?
He "preferred the company of men..." Mighta been gay, mighta been straight. But of course it doesn't matter.
The left will continue to rewrite every historical event, reimagin every book, remake every movie, tear down every hero and reinterpret every historical figure into a 'strong and brave [current thing] supporter'.
After all, you can't "build back better" without first tearing everything down...

What is there to rewrite? Has it ever been determined for a fact that Buchanan was straight? Not to my knowledge. Not has it been established conclusively he was gay. Maybe he was just a bachelor with a close male friend. Maybe he was asexual. I don’t have anything invested in what the real answer is.

But the left will nevertheless continue tearing down historical figures and rewriting history to support [current thing].
You posted the original "everyone in history was gay" meme I'm responding to. Don't try that "I don't have anything invested in this" line with me.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu | image tagged in gilgamesh and enkidu | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Everyone was gay? Never said that. Lol. Common sense, and the fact babies have been born at all stages of history, disproves that silly strawman.

We’re working on the idea gay people didn’t exist in the past at all. Of course they did. They may not have been called “gay,” prior to that term acquiring its current meaning, but there were other ways of describing same-sex attraction. Certainly pottery and texts from Mesopotamia and Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, among other cultures, alludes to homosexuality.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu! First epic poem in history! Just one example.

DON'T TRY TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT BY IGNORING THE ORIGINAL MEME YOU MADE. THE IMPLICATION IS CLEAR: LOOK! MEN SMILING! THEY'RE GAY! THIS IS RE | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Let's examine your original meme:
●Claims that a picture of smiling men means men in the past were gay. False
●obvious revisionist history left wing: "everyone in the past was gay" trope. False.
This is just another example of left's need to rewrite history to support [current thing]. Everything that ever happened, infact just happened. It did not happen to support whatever issue the media told you you cared about today.
