Lindsey Graham GAY? Conservative Group ALIPAC Demands Senator ' Admit Homosexuality '

" William Gheen, head of the conservative, anti-"amnesty," anti-illegal immigration group Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), spoke at a Greenville, S.C. Tea Party rally this weekend and called for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to "come out of that log cabin closet."


According to Gheen, being gay is "a secret that Lindsey Graham has."


Gheen told the crowd: "I hope this secret it isn't being used as leverage over Senator Graham, so today I think Senator Graham, you need to come forward and tell people about your alternative lifestyle and your homosexuality."


"Barney Frank is more honest and brave than you," Gheen continued, referring to the openly-gay Massachusetts congressman.


ALIPAC has posted the video titled "US Senator Graham is Gay" -- and tagged with the keywords "queer" and "fag" -- on YouTube, where various news outlets have covered it.


The group defended itself Monday, and in fact doubled down on calls for Lindsay Graham to admit his homosexuality.


In a statement, ALIPAC alleged that a "brief clip of Gheen's speech, which is out of proper context, has already gone viral on YouTube and been reported by Keith Olberman on MSNBC without proper permissions or attributions."


Calling out Graham starts at approximately 7:20 of the video


UPDATE:

Former CNN anchor and former ALIPAC partner Lou Dobbs is "calling for William Gheen to resign after his comments/actions on Sen. Lindsey Graham's sexuality" via Twitter.
