As were the spurious allegations against Scarborough. Just because something is “discussed” does not make it true.

There are many reasons to get rid of Graham. His sexuality--closeted or otherwise--shouldn't be a factor.

that constantly vote against gay Americans are the worst kind of human. He has allowed gay Americans to die in desperation because LGBGTA are also oppressed by law enforcement, denied jobs, housing, killed on the streets if they are trans, without any consequences ... pushed out to the perimeters of society, denied services that regular Americans enjoy everyday. Lindsey is just like the cop that kneels on the neck of someone's American promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So no, please don't give him as pass. He perpetuates discrimination when actually can do something about it. One of the best kept secrets in Washington is that Lindsey is gay. No one is condemning him for being gay, just his two faced cowardice and hypocrisy.

is not really what I am trying to point out. Just as we need call out all of these racist cops, we need to call out politicians who hide their real lives while enabling discrimination, and worse. I really want the truth. I want honest elected officials. I marched in the first Gay Right's Pride Parades in our country, in NYC and Boston, in the early 1970's. I feel so angry about a "Lindsey" among us. Peace and love to you, and yes not a preference, BORN THIS WAY.

Tell me why I can't prefer that to which I'm oriented? Also tell me why I can't be oriented toward a preference.

I'm straight. I prefer sex with women.

You make no sense.

They are two different words with two distinct and different meanings. One implies choice and one does not.

LGBTQI organizations have asked for years that allies use orientation because it’s the correct term.

I PREFER apples to watermelon because I can't stand the taste of watermelon. I would never CHOOSE watermelon. Watermelon is never an option for me, and my preference doesn't involve choice at all. That would be putting the cart before the horse. My preference is a consequence of my nature, not a consequence of my choice.

He is complicit in a number of things that have denied basic human rights to a wide range of people. I just don't like the "you're gay--gotch ya-- tactic. There is nothing wrong with being gay. There is plenty wrong with being a Republican.

Let's have a House hearing on it.

As mayor Pete found out, South Carolina is very homophobic.

Might as well have a senator from South Carolina who isn't voting on the basis of the Kompromat they have on him.

the evangelicals. Just like they introduce anti-abortion legislation while having the local abortion clinic on speed dial in case their mistresses get pregnant.

I don't know if any of the Lindsay stuff is true, if it is we'll find out shortly. If they don't come forward with evidence all he has to do is deny it.



Male escorts are making crazy money at the RNC
By Alexandra KlausnerJuly 21, 2016 | 3:16pm



t’s been a great week for gay escorts in Cleveland. Male prostitutes contacted by The Post said business is booming and Republican National Convention attendees — most of them married — are clamoring for their services.

“Business has been way better. I’ve seen 10 clients so far,” one male escort said. “Most of them were first-timers. You could tell they were nervous, but once they became more comfortable, they seemed to be having a good time.”

Another escort said he had already earned $1,600 since Monday — over six times the amount he usually makes.

The clientele has included mostly married white men between the ages of 40 and 50, said another escort who’s seen eight johns so far.“One of them was from Texas and visiting for the convention. He said he was a politician,” he said, claiming he didn’t remember the client’s name.

One gigolo who charges $250 an hour said he’s been making about $800 per day since the convention kicked off — all from men visiting from Florida, Louisiana and Washington, DC.
