Lindsey Graham Gay Rumors Erupt Again After Escort Threatens to Out ‘Homophobic Republican Senator’

By

We are not reporting as fact that Lindsey Graham is gay. We do not have first-hand knowledge, moreover, we couldn’t care less.

Permit me to go first-person for a moment, I have “known” (or “heard”) that Lindsey Graham is gay for 15 years. I always respected his right to privacy, and still do. I don’t know Lindsey Graham and my belief is based on nothing more than the consensus in the people around him.

Indeed, before Graham became a Trump loyalist, Democrats in the Senate and in DC went out of their way to help Graham deal with possible rumors by never addressing anything about the subject and playing it down.

Obviously what Graham does in his private life with adults doesn’t matter in the slightest to us.

Some backstory. Gay adult performer and escort Sean Harding threatened to out a “homophobic Republican Senator who is no better than Trump who keeps passing legislation that is damaging to the lgbt and minority communities.”

Harding claimed that “every sex worker I know has been hired by this man,” whom he named only as “LG”. Followers of Harding and other Twitter users quickly pointed their fingers at Graham.

Harding added: “I cannot do this alone. If you’d be willing to stand with me against LG please let me know. …. So far I have two individuals who would be willing to go public and support my claims. Anyone else?”

Now, if Graham is gay, it’s not a big deal. Love who you want, life is short.

However, the moment that it becomes something that could be turned into the blackmail of a conservative Senator from South Carolina, it becomes an extremely big deal. Twitter isn’t “outing” Graham so much as “outing” his vulnerability to coercion by Trump or worse, foreigners.

#LadyGraham is trending and I find it to be a disgusting meme. If one wants to discuss the issue, the meme should be #GrahamNDA, because those NDAs are one of the issues or #GrahamCompromised. I do not like #LindseyGraham, but I am not in control of Twitter.

WE DO NOT REPORT THE BELOW AS FACT: WE REPORT THIS AS THE “TYPE” of THING TRENDING:

The tweet immediately below is the real concern because people who get security clearances must be immune to being bribed or compromised. Many gay men and women hold security clearances because it is irrelevant to serving as fine Americans. The only ones denied a security clearance are those that are desperately trying to hide their sexuality such that it becomes a vulnerability just like someone with huge debts, a drug or alcohol problem, several mistresses, or anything else that makes one susceptible to bribery or blackmail.

Below, we have reported on this sequence of events before. Taken alone, it proves nothing. Taken with the change in attitudes, it still doesn’t “prove” anything, except that odd circumstances that attach to the entire thing:

 

It is “odd” and questions arise, naturally. How did Trump get Graham’s phone number? Was it a warning shot to Graham? “This is what I can do”?

We will watch the situation closely. So much of the “Trump” phenomenon seems to be cracking right now that it is worth one’s attention. We certainly don’t wish Graham any harm for whatever his interests might be, but we damned well want answers about whether someone is taking advantage of him.
