Ok cis straights listen up. Lindsey Graham may or may not be gay. I honestly don't care. If he is gay, then he's used his immense power & privilege to hide it while becoming a standard-bearer for a political party that'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't expose anything except how eager you are to be anti-queer.
calling him "Lady Lindsey" or "Lady G" doesn't point out his hypocrisy, it points out how much of an asshole you are for thinking it's ok to use anti-trans/anti-gay insults, as if people aren'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're surely showing every queer person in your life that you're not someone they can ever fvcking trust
If Lindsey Graham IS gay that isn'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'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't attacking his power. It'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's anti-trans
And that's anti-trans
Just because you're deploying this shit against a Republican doesn't make it ok.
