LDSEY GRAHAM’S 10 GAYT MOMENTS

LGBT is still a popular term ed to discs genr and sexual mori, but all GSRM are wele beyond lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr people who nsent to participate a safe space.

Will Ldsey Graham’s gay mors matter? I tst to not turn this to a homophobic post. Ldsey Graham Addrs Rumors: 'I A't Gay'.

LDSEY GRAHAM DENI HE’S GAY IN RPONSE TO CHELSEA HANDLER’S ‘NATNAL COMG OUT DAY’ TWEET

Ldsay graham is trendg on Twter and everyone is sayg the proof is fally out that he's gay? Closet homosexuals Ldsey Graham, Mar Rub, and also Chuck Schumer and John McCa are beg blackmailed, acrdg to ex-CIA Robert Steele.

Bee I've been wrg this lumn for several years, and get to talk to lots of amazg people, my iends, mostly the straight on, like to quiz me about who's gay, who's not, and who's the fishg expedn is mostly generatnal, sce 's mostly my ntemporari who quire about the sexualy of celebri and policians. Those of who are LGBTQ+ and over 50, still look on wh low-level shock when someone we know announc they are straight people this mographic, beg gay, or beg the closet is still somethg that they sensatnalize. He's often acced of gay- bag, but if he were to e out tomorrow and say he was a relatnship wh a man, most young people would simply ngratulate him.

When I worked there, I, like many, knew who was the closet maly bee we'd see them a gay bar or knew someone that had a relatnship wh them. There really were no secrets on the example, most of knew former Wisns ngrsman Steve Gunrson was gay before he was outed on the Hoe floor. Bob Dornan joked about Gunrson on the floor of the Hoe of Reprentativ durg a bate on a bill that would have disuraged school districts om adoptg gay-iendly curricula.

LDSEY GRAHAM SAYS 'I'M NOT GAY' AFTER CHELSEA HANDLER TROLLS HIM ON NATNAL COMG OUT DAY

"Clearly, we were livg different and difficult tim regardg public officials beg openly gay, " Gunrson told me. "At that time, there was no procs for g out as gay, nor were there any pretermed exampl and parameters about how to e out.

And, this year, for the first time ever, two gay men, one a Republin and one a Democrat, are nng for Congrs New York's Third Congrsnal be sure, not everyone is out.

Whether they choose to rema the closet might be for several reasons, bee they're fearful of the reactns of their nstuents, that they still thk beg gay is a srlet letter, or out of some ep seed self-loathg which sometim n pot, former Illois Republin ngrsman Aaron Schock. He was on a trajectory to be a risg star the party, when he began to unravel, all the while nyg mors that he was gay. Everyone who I knew who still worked on or around the Hill knew he was gay, so when he me out, that wasn't a surprise.

WHO IS ‘LADY G’? LDSEY GRAHAM IS BEG ACCED OF HIRG GAY SEX WORKERS

Translatg that to Congrs, that would allow for at least 30 queer members, which means that a very theoretil hypothis, 19 are hidg the, that brgs to what you've all been wag for, ever sce the tle of this lumn drew you -- is Senator Ldsey Graham gay?

In fact, to me this whole dance around Graham's sexualy seems more like a sophmoric joke, pecially wh that unfortable "Lady G" nickname that trends on Twter every other fact that he may or may not be gay, to me, seems far ls important than the herent danger he creat his job as a bachelor senator. His reversal, and his dacy to thor a bill on behalf of women, when he is a loutish, 67-year-old whe man who has never been married, never fathered a child, alt wh a pregnancy, alt wh a wife whose life was jeopardy bee of a pregnancy, or a dghter whose future was , a real man wouldn't be this 's sexualy might be private, and the jok about juvenile and tged wh homophobia, but his efforts at tearg the fabric of Amerin mocracy is far more offensive.
