A much more common theory is that Buchanan was gay.

Of course, given his weakly pro-slavery and otherwise terrible presidency, no one feels the need to devote a lot of publicity to this fact.

For some reason this comment was in the grey. When you look at the evidence, it seems quite obvious that Buchanan was, in fact, gay, which is interesting and completely detached from his performance.

Yup, my point was that Lincoln is generally not believed to have been bisexual, just like the bed sharing magi.

As for Buchanan, that article feels rather polemical. Is there a more authoritative summary anywhere?
