A new book that claims Lincoln was bisexual or gay has Republicans fuming. The party that is pushing to have same-sex marriage outlawed was seething Monday as the first copies of The Intimate World of Abraham was being rushed to bookstores. After all, Lincoln is regarded as the founder of the GOP.

The book by noted gay author C. A. Tripp lays out the 'evidence' in a tome that is expected to be fodder for heated debate over the next few months. Unfortunately Tripp won't be around to take part. He died shortly after the manuscript was delivered to the publisher.

Tripp was a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He previously wrote The Homosexual Matrix and was a researcher for the Kinsey Institute. The Intimate World of Abraham is the result of more than 20 years of studying Lincoln's private life
