NBC’s comedy Will & Grace played on the revisionist history myth that President Abraham Lincoln was secretly gay (a myth that liberal Hollywood loves to spread) as if it were a proven fact on Thursday’s episode, “Kid ‘n Play.”

The show is well-known for disparaging conservatives fairly often, especially President Trump and his policies, and the “secretly gay” Republican theme is one of their favorites. In fact, Eric McCormack, who plays the show’s title character Will, admits that their goal is to be as offensive as possible with their progressive “humor.”

On Thursday’s episode, gay character Jack (Sean Hayes) begins producing a one-man show titled, “Gaybraham Twinkin’,” that’s “about Abraham Lincoln’s long-rumored gay romance,” with his close friend Joshua Speed. Conservative character Karen (Megan Mullally) finances the play because she needs a tax shelter due to her divorce, and her accountant advised her to invest in something that’s guaranteed to lose money.

Despite referring to the gay myth as a rumor at first, Jack later says, “The show is about Lincoln’s affair with young Joshua Speed,” as if it’s a true part of history, and he begins rehearsing a musical number full of vile double entendres about the revered first Republican president.

I saw this episode last night. The thing about this episode that sticks out in my mind the most is the pretty red skirt that Grace wore on her date. I thought she was hot stuff! If anyone here would like to know more about that situation, he or she can simply look at the thread that was started by me and that is right below this one.
