“Lincoln is already queer”
Boston College professor Charles Morris takes the position that President Lincoln was undeniably “gay”, and that it’s time we move beyond the argument onto the next step of exploring what it means to society. For one, he hypothesizes the advancing suicide rates among our youth with SSA could be curbed if they had more positive role models. Consequently, accepting Abraham Lincoln, “as a homosexual could open the door for other public figures to come out and also help young people undertake the difficult process of coming out of the closet.”
Who’s the bigger half-wit here? Morris, for expecting anyone with a lick of common sense to fall for his flawed and illogical agenda driven public service announcement; or me for taking the odds that the Professor doesn’t truly believe his own line of bull? Predictably, the high level of public exposure and pseudo-worship of the “gay” lifestyle in our culture dictates my simple and commonsense response to the assertion that more positive “gay” role models are key in alleviating some of the suicidal behaviors that accompany teens with SSA – it’s full of crap. Never in the history of the planet has there been MORE “gay” role models, nor has there ever been MORE acceptance of the “gay” life-style; and subsequently (according to the professor), nor has there ever been MORE “gay” suicides. Given the current trend, activists who are attempting to normalize the Same Sex Attraction disorder through any means necessary may want to carefully examine their track record and re-think their strategy and the impact it’s having on vulnerable youths, as I don’t believe the “gay” youth of our country will all of a sudden see the magical pot of gold at the end of the fading rainbow through the professor’s “gay” rendition of Abraham Lincoln.

Well, look at the vocations situation in Milwaukee.
Prior to the arrival of Abp. Weakland, the Major Seminary had a couple of gays in very high places.
There were a lot of dropouts from the Sem. When Abp Weakland arrived, nothing much changed except the names–the orientation was the same, and there were almost zero vocations.
Now we have DIFFERNT people involved at (almost) all levels, and vocations are growing.
Yes, there were other factors (and still are.) But when a prominent gay was role-modeling, and receiving fawning national attention, what impact was there on vocations?
Sorry, Prof. Your theory didn’t work when it was tried…

Grrrr …. hope Lincoln’s ghost comes back to give this idiot a smack upside the head! Simply outrageous insult to the man’s memory. As Jackie Parkes says, it just gets worse, indeed! Lord have mercy.
