[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is amusing.  So far, all these claims about Graham's "destructive LGBT" policies.  And yet not one has been cited.  I guess it's just easier for lazy people to make claims and hope no one calls them on it.[/quote]

Wrong. You didn't read the whole thread and you're calling others lazy?[/quote]

I read the entire thread.  Not sure what you're talking about.  It's a thread full of lazy, gossipy liberals trying to fan the flames of nasty rumors and innuendo in order to shame a gay man.  No facts whatsoever.  LAZY.[/quote]

Why would being gay shame him? [/quote]

So you are in favor of outing gay people? That's okay with liberals? [/quote]

I'm not a liberal. But there is a big difference between outing someone and shaming them. You claimed that people on this thread are trying to shame him. Why would hiring sex workers of the same sex shame him? Either there is nothing wrong with this or there is. Which is it?[/quote]

False dichotomy. Gay people don't owe you an explanation of their preferences.  And given that the world is hostile to them, outing them as gay, against their wishes, is a violation.  It's called consent.  [/quote]

I'm sorry but there is no legal basis for this "consent." You don't have to get someone's consent to say truthful things about them in public. You seem like you want to ironically throw liberal talking points into this discussion. But you aren't doing it right. And I'm not a liberal so I don't care about vague notions of "consent."[/quote]

It's not a legal argument.  I'm not an attorney.  This is a moral argument.  If people choose to keep an aspect of their lives secret, especially one that could cause them harm when they travel or interact with people (being gay is illegal in many countries) it's not for you to decide otherwise for them.  I don't care if you don't see that. Liberals claim to respect these principles and that is the issue at hand. [/quote]

Perhaps this would be true if he weren't breaking the law. Prostitution is illegal. Senators don't get to keep breaking the law secret. [/quote]

It's not clear he broke the law. You[b] could drive a truck through [/b]prostitution laws and as long as he used one of the common loopholes, he didn't break the law.   [/quote]

Sounds expensive.[/quote]
