I had the opportunity to sit down with Shaun Peterson, the director of Lover of Men, as he pulls back the curtain on Abraham Lincoln’s intimate life. From Lincoln’s rumored romantic relationships with men to exploring how fluid sexuality was back in the 19th century—a time when terms like “homosexual” and “heterosexual” didn’t exist—the film also tackles the pressing issue of queer erasure throughout history. Shaun talks about his experience creating the documentary and the crazy discoveries from Lincoln's handwritten letters.    Connect with Shaun:   Watch the Film: Lover Of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln is now available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV and Vimeo"  More Information: ww.loverofmen.com Follow the Film's IG: @Loverofmenfilm Website: https://www.shaunpeterson.tv/    Connect with Liz:   Website: https://www.listentoliz.com/   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@listentoliz415 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/listentoliz/ , https://www.instagram.com/coolcoolcool/    For exclusive content, support Liz on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/listentoliz
