"Most of you know him as the homophobic Senator from South Carolina but to me he will always be the man who paid a twinky pre-transition college student a fat stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie,” the Sorry I Keep Crying During Sex author wrote in the three-slide post, accompanied by a hand raising emoji. “It is a canon trans event to have far right freaks bankrolling you & then turning around and voting against you.”
“At the time I had no idea who he was, and I only figured it out because another group or twinks leaked Lady G to the media,” Rose continued. “Some queer tried to grandstand critique this, saying we shouldn’t ‘out’ people. I believe bigots with power deserve no peace or privacy, especially when they hold public office. I’m glad they did it. Icons forever.”
There's at least one blahaj account running around trying to defend Graham...
They really need to read this article and maybe they'd finally figure out not everyone LGBTQ is an ally and not all allies are LGBTQ.
It's fucking wild to defend Lady G just because they were closeted LGBTQ.
Agreed. Public politicians who advocate death and pain don’t deserve the quarter they denied others. His hypocrisy wasn’t his own. He forced it on his whole state, nation, and even other countries.
Bigotry aside, he would have kept sex workers from being safe with his policies.
Now... let's take a closer look at the remaining cast of freedom stealing self haters.
Tangent: What benefit does someone like Lady G derive from perpetuating LGBTQ oppression? Does it increase the population of sex workers for them to exploit? Is there more to it?

A+ strategy. His estate can claim he was straight by agreeing trans women are women.

Speak up and then what? Sex workers had already been talking about Lyndsey Graham for a long time.
It’s not her fault that Lyndsey Graham was a hypocrite, it’s not her responsibility to speak up about it.

She continues to say that she didn’t know he was a politician at the time

How are there people who don't know who he is? He was in politics on the national stage for decades.

There are probably a lot of representatives I wouldn't recognize, even if I know their name and deal.

Honestly, should’ve happened sooner.
