Many have accused Graham of being gay and gliding it.

The criticism is not of his sexual orientation but his refusal to admit he is gay.
It's none of YOUR business.

The criticism/mocking/jokes about Graham aren't about his sexual orientation, it his unwillingness to admit or be open, therefore seemingly ashamed of, his sexual orientation.


He would never have been elected in South Carolina if he was openly gay.
So what? What right do you have to know his sexual orientation?

Didn't say it was my business.

WAs explaining the situation.

Those that make comments aren't talking about his sexuality -- they are talking about his inability to admit his sexuality.

Doesn't matter if they are right or wrong.....the point being --- they aren't mocking gay people, criticizing Graham for being gay.

You misunderstood.

Again you clearly misunderstood what I said and I don't know how -- because it is clear and concise and not really vague.

I made no comment about what I think about his sexual orientation. You are right -- it is none of my business.

I was merely pointing out that Graham is not criticized for his sexual orientation but because people see him as not being able to own up to who he is.

Doesn't matter if you and I don't care.
Those people do.

AND....AND.....that's all I was doing was pointing out once again how the OP and others misunderstood what the issue was.

Absolutely agree --I too think iGraham is under no obligation to explain himself....but all I did was clarify the issue for the OP and others that were not clear. They assumed there was criticism for his sexual orientation. There wasn't -- that's not the point -- it is -- what they see -- as an inability to be honest and forthcoming.

And by "that" I mean criticizing him on that basis. You don't own him.
I never said I criticize him. I said that those that comment on the fact he won't own up to being gay are criticizing him.

I don't care.

I think he's an ass gay or straight.

Yes there was. It's nothing but a smear because otherwise the head of the Democrat Coalition should have never mentioned it.

What part of
"....probably involves some pretty serious sexual kink."
do you think means anything else but that?

I think the more important question is if Lindsey has gotten his "alpha male" card from his fellow conservatives. LOL.

Not only was there no criticism of his sexual orientation, the whole point of what was being said was that the person believes Graham has been compromised, not by Russia or people threatening to out him, but instead because he is being blackmailed over kinky sex acts without reference to orientation.

No gay criticism, fake news.

If it were serious it is something to be taken up with federal authorities in secret. Not in the media in a frigging tweet. This is why it is being condemned.
