"Why I Called Lindsey Graham 'Ambiguously Gay'"

[DonViejo]

A long-shot candidate for Senate in South Carolina explains to The Daily Beast why he called incumbent Lindsey Graham "ambiguously gay."

During a Thursday press conference, one of the most obscure of Lindsey Graham's six primary challengers decided to troll the two-term Republican senator from South Carolina about his sexuality, calling Graham "ambiguously gay."

"It's about time that South Carolina [says] hey, we're tired of the ambiguously gay senator from South Carolina," said Dave Feliciano, an Iraq war vet who quit his job as a police officer to run for office. The press conference followed an event where the primary candidates signed a pledge promising to support each other if any of them make it as far as the runoff election. One of Feliciano's fellow pledge-signers, businessman Richard Cash, immediately called the statement "inappropriate."

Senator Graham, who opposes same-sex marriage and voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in 2013, has long been the subject of gossip about his sexuality. It's one of the first things to come up when you Google him; an activist website, has an entire page devoted to "Questions About Senator Lindsey Graham's Sexual Orientation"; In 2010, it was reported that gay rights activist Mike Rogers claimed to have "pictures of a man who spent the night" with the Senator.

2. Graham is going to have a hard time

I doubt that he will survive the GOP bigotry

3. That Richard Cash guy is bad news.

Another teabagger nutjob. He'll be even worse than Graham if he wins. I'm halfway tempted to cross over and vote for Graham in the primary, just to keep him out of the mix, if I still have the misfortune of residing in this hellhole of a state. Not to mention that I don't think there will be a Democratic primary here. I think only one guy has chosen to run. And, the sad thing is, our other nutcase senator, Tim Scott (Jim DeMented's replacement) is also up for reelection. It appears he is running unopposed at this point. This state is pretty much fucked.

It is (ETA...NOT) funny, clever, or legitimate.

9. I think it's a fair question

Only because he's so anti-gay. Exposing these parasites is what is needed.

12. It always puzzles me whenever any ostensibly straight person fixates on gay sex...

Way more than any gay person that I've ever known.

13. Like Graham with his opposition to same-sex marriage and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act?

I have to agree with you.
