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

Posted: Apr 23, 2010

Now, they are attacking their own. I feel for Senator Graham. His sexuality is his business and no one elses.

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."

"US Senator Lindsey Graham is gay and while many people in South Carolina and Washington DC know that, the general public and Graham's constituents do not," Gheen said in the statement. Though Gheen claimed, both in the statement and at the Tea Party rally, that he does "not care about Graham's private life," he again said that Graham must declare his supposed homsexuality "so the public can rest assured he is not being manipulated with his secret."

"I need to figure out why you're trying to sell out your own countrymen and I need to make sure you being gay isn't it," Gheen said over the weekend.

Anonymous rumors of Sen. Graham's supposed homosexuality have swirled around Washington before. In the run-up to Justice Sotomayor's confirmation hearing, Graham asked Sotomayor to explain uncredited comments about her past behavior. A blogger reactd by asking Graham to respond to anonymous speculation that he was gay.

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.

to butt out and leave him alone. I don't particularly like Graham, but this is no business of Gheen, the teabaggers, the Republican party, or anyone else.

with independent and conservative viewpoints and some liberal viewpoints on other issues and I say the same thing. Whatever his sexual preference is is nobody's business and it is very rude for anyone to ask.

I have agreed with Sen. Graham on some issues, but his sexual preference doesn't even come into mind and I don't care.

He's doing his job he was elected to do. That's all I and others should care about.

I won't use that foul and disgusting term y'all like, but it is none of the democrat, republican, independent, Gheen (don't know who they are) or the 'Tea Party Attendees' business. Although I don't think the tea party attendees are asking about his sexual preference.

But yes, I agree....nobody's business but Mr. Graham's alone.

Whether he is gay or not - Nick

I'm straight, but it does not matter to me what anyone else's orientation is. I do not think it is our business, nor does it affect the way the senator does his job.

Why is this our business? - Trigger Happy

As a conservative independent...I couldn't care less whether or not Lindsey Graham is gay or not. That is his business.

Of course, he isn't responsible for his parents actions, but it is telling as to what his "roots" are.

My folks sold beer to anyone of legal age, but I’m sorry to say, for many of the years my parents operated the bar, black people were expected to drink the beer they purchased from us off the premi ...

How do all you religious people feel when someone who is gay, attempts suicide because they've been told since they were little that it is a sin and they will burn in hell? Gay is not a choice. I suppose acting on it is, but BEING it is not a choice, any more than you or I who are straight. I just think it's very sad that our youth can't go to the their family with this, because they've been brainwashed into thinking they'll burn in hell. So they attempt suicide ou ...

As the end of this Age of Grace nears, we are warned by the Apostle Paul that, "Evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."

Not only is Satan, the Father of Lies, working feverishly to deceive individuals into hell, but he is working to deceive nations into following his proxy, the man of lawlessness, who will soon appear on the ...
