Thomas Balcerski, a professor at Occidental College, asserts that Lincoln's intimate relationships with men were defining aspects of his life rather than mere side notes, suggesting a deep internal conflict.
Michael Chesson from the University of Massachusetts at Boston describes Lincoln's initial encounter with Joshua Speed as 'lust at first sight,' highlighting the emotional and physical attractions in their relationship.
The documentary suggests that Lincoln's choice to continue bed-sharing with Joshua Speed for four years, despite financial improvements, undermines the notion that it was purely for convenience.
Historian insights feature in the documentary, emphasizing how Lincoln's relationships with men were more than just platonic; they involved emotional and sexual dimensions that reveal a profound part of his identity.
