The South Carolina Republican spent more than three decades in Congress, voting against marriage equality, workplace protections, and open military service as speculation about his sexual orientation followed him throughout his career.
What I thought I was replying to was a different subthread where someone claimed Graham raped children, that’s the homophobic libel I was referring to. I’ve also seen a post on a different .world community speculating he died of AIDS, which is just overt homophobia.
Criticize him for the bigoted shit he did, I’ve probably been at it longer than most people celebrating this have since I grew up near the fucker. What’s disgusting is using this as an opportunity to unleash homophobic remarks (like the ones I was referring to above) at someone that ‘deserves’ it. He’s not going to see it: he’s fucking dead. The only people that will see it are living queer people who just get another slap in the face of homophobia, and cis het people who are seeing homophobia more and more normalized.
