Did Abraham Lincoln have a hidden romantic life we’ve never been told about?In this episode, Pride Correspondent Caitlynn McDaniel steps in for Levi to explore an untold part of history–Abraham Lincoln's intimate relationships with men. We’re talking about the new documentary Lover of Men, directed by Sean Peterson, which explores the never-before-seen letters and historical evidence that challenge the traditional view of one of America’s most revered presidents.

Caitlin is joined by Sean and historians John Stauffer (Harvard) and Tom Balsersky (Occidental College) to discuss how this film sheds new light on Lincoln’s emotional life and what it means for how we understand history today.
