The GOP Senator Who Refuses To Come Out

To prove he's not gay Senator Graham opposes LGBT rights in the new immigration bill.

To prove he’s not gay Senator Graham opposes LGBT rights in the new immigration bill.

Republican Senator Lindsay Graham repeatedly denies he’s gay. In that case he should tell his penis, and the guy he lives with. Two years ago the New York Times reported…

During a South Carolina Tea Party rally this spring, one speaker created an uproar by postulating that Graham supported a guest-worker program out of fear that the Democrats might otherwise expose his homosexuality. (Graham smirked when I brought this up. “Like maybe I’m having a clandestine affair with Ricky Martin,” he said. “I know it’s really gonna upset a lot of gay men — I’m sure hundreds of ’em are gonna be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge — but I ain’t available. I ain’t gay. Sorry.”)

On today’s show with Howie Klein we talk about why Senator Graham’s sexuality is germane to the immigration debate.
