The granddaughter of Senator Jesse Helms, whom many consider the most anti-gay legislator in U.S. history and who is touting him during her elective campaign, is herself a partnered lesbian, friends of the couple tell RAW STORY.

Jennifer Knox, granddaughter of the retired North Carolina Republican senator, has been in a committed relationship with her partner Shields Carstarphen for over three years, they say. Knox is vying to become a district judge in North Carolina; Carstarphen is the treasurer of her campaign.

Knox did not respond to multiple detailed messages left at her home and office.

1. Shhhhhhhhhhh

She isn't gay, it is just a phase...How dare you bring up such a private issue. One of these days, Jennifer and Mary will see the error of their sinful ways, and find a good husband and have babies</sarcasm>

2. When told she was gay, he said:

"Oh, I'm gay too! We're all gay! We're a very happy family."

(or so I imagine)

3. Atonement? Nepotism? Whatever.

Very few in the history of the U.S. Senate have done as much damage, or have brought as much divisivness and hatred to this country as Jesse Helms.

I couldn't care less about his granddaughter. If I beleived in locales like heaven and hell, I'd say that the hottest corner of hell should be reserved for this miserable, disgusting piece of rancid shit.

Sorry about my lack of forgiveness, but fuck this horrible, horrible man.
