A new documentary claims Abraham Lincoln had "steamy gay sex sessions" with male partners.
The new film, 'Lover of Men' which "examines the intimate life of America's most consequential president" is set to come out on September 6.
The evidence, according to the movie, is letters he allegedly wrote to male lovers.
"Dear Speed, I shall be very lonesome without you, love Lincoln," one read in the trailer. Speed was Lincoln's friend who he had a friendship with since his youth.
The movie claims Lincoln slept with Speed for four years.
"Lover Of Men widens its lens into the history of human s**ual fluidity and focuses on the profound differences between sexual mores of the nineteenth century and those we hold today," the movie's synopsis read.
"The film fills in an important missing piece of American history and challenges the audience to consider why we hold such a limited view of human sexuality."
