Discovery+ is the latest brand facing backlash as disgruntled social media users are unhappy with a documentary it produced speculating about Abraham Lincoln’s sexuality.

Titled What They Didn’t Teach Us About Abraham Lincoln, the episode explores the long-held theory that the 16th American president was either gay or bisexual.
The episode, which was first published for Pride Month in 2022, has now resurfaced as a point of ire for conservatives.
