Movie Preview: Abe Lincoln, Queer Icon — “Lavender Men”

This indie about a theatrical stage manager who has to school cast and crew about Gay Abe as they disrepect that stage manager’s pronouns during the run of a Lincoln bio-play.

“Lavender Men” makes an interesting follow-up to last fall’s doc “Lover of Men,” which took a shot at making the scholarly case for The Original Log Cabin Republican’s on-the-spectrum sexuality.

May 2, we get a theatrical, fictional riff on what that might mean to someone embracing this history today.
