Ok cis straights listen up. Lindsey Graham may or may not be gay. I honestly don& #39;t care. If he is gay, then he& #39;s used his immense power & privilege to hide it while becoming a standard-bearer for a political party that& #39;s made it their goal to deprive lgbtq+ ppl of their humanity
which of course makes him a horrible human being and he should be loudly addressed as such. He should never be able to have a meal in public without being jeered at. Seriously. Make his life a living hell.
But stop being so fvcking gross about it
But stop being so fvcking gross about it
gleefully trotting out all the anti-queer stereotypes to "expose his hypocrisy" doesn& #39;t expose anything except how eager you are to be anti-queer.
calling him "Lady Lindsey" or "Lady G" doesn& #39;t point out his hypocrisy, it points out how much of an asshole you are for thinking it& #39;s ok to use anti-trans/anti-gay insults, as if people aren& #39;t killed ALL THE TIME based on the sentiment behind those insults
You are not hurting Lindsey Graham when you use anti-queer insults but you& #39;re surely showing every queer person in your life that you& #39;re not someone they can ever fvcking trust
If Lindsey Graham IS gay that isn& #39;t what makes him a monster. In fact, the old "anti-gay person is secretly a self-hating gay person" is an awful anti-queer trope that needs to die out ASAP b/c it puts the blame for anti-queer sentiment on, hey, queer ppl!
Graham has the power & privilege to be whatever he wants to be in private & then proudly destroy people& #39;s lives in public. That privilege comes from his place in the anti-queer power structure. His sexuality is immaterial; his power is the point, and the thing we need to attack
Calling him "Lady Graham" isn& #39;t attacking his power. It& #39;s, instead, lending support to the cultural foundations of that power--that being feminine is, for a man, a bad offensive thing worthy insult.
And that& #39;s anti-trans
And that& #39;s anti-trans
Just because you& #39;re deploying this shit against a Republican doesn& #39;t make it ok.
