Where does everyone get the notion that Lindsay Graham is gay?

Okay, first of all, even if you're a gay person, don't be incredulous about people's "gay baiting..." (that's not the correct usage of the word btw) of Lindsey Graham. Stereotypes are only harmful when they are being applied to further someone's oppression. I don't think anyone is oppressing this White, Southern, sexagenarian U.S. Senator.

As a gay person, what I find more appalling is that the GOP has profited off of American homophobia--that the Great Hero Reagan allowed so many of us to die in a genocide, that Bush II won an election by appealing to peoples' prejudices, and that Lindsey Graham even today is against gay adoption, hate crime laws, and letting openly gay soldiers serve.

If he's gay, it's even more offensive. It's always that same with Republicans--street preachers on the corner, mega-church pastors, etc. are all just exercising their religious rights, leave 'em alone, but the minute someone insinuates that a GOP official might be a hypocritical homophobe it's like "respect their privacy." I'll stop talking about Lindsey Graham's sexual orientation when he stops legislating mine, thank you very much.
