[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen, just because you're progressive and liberal doesn't mean that you get a pass on mocking a gay man for being gay.  He's probably said some unfortunate things about being gay, as have most gay people, because the world teaches them to hate themselves.  But you're the one saying unfortunate things now, acting like he should be ashamed of himself for who he loves.  You don't get a pass. It's wrong, full stop.  [/quote]

I am not sure who is mocking him- I as the OP was not trying to whatsoever, and just provided factual info about what was happening. Graham has been a major supporter of trump and it does seem he’s compromised in some way as he spoke out against trump and criticized him more before a turning point a few years ago. He supports an administration that does extreme harm to minorities and LGBTQ people. I would be happy if he’s voted out of office. Nothing wrong with him being gay, but everything else he does.

Newsflash: support of gay rights is correlated to age, not party.  Boomers and above are against gay rights, millennials and below are strongly in favor of gay rights.  So you can make this argument about any boomer politician. And someone upthread talked about him selling out McCain- yeah, McCain lost me too when he led the crusade against being able to serve openly as gay in the military.  Remember that?  Gay people have had to make a lot of compromises in life and being a gay boomer politician from South Carolina can't have been an easy road. It's fine to say you don't agree with him on his stances or his on again, off again support of Trump but he doesn't *owe* the left political fealty because he's gay.  He doesn't owe you anything because he's gay. He has every right to all of his choices about keeping his sexuality secret, and to any of his political ideas.   He's as equal as you.  [/quote]

Well said.  [/quote]
