Continuing: Michael Rogers Stokes Lindsey Graham Gay Rumors
Outing blogger Michael Rogers is stoking rumors that Senator Lindsey Graham
is gay.
The 47-year-old gay rights activist, who was featured prominently in the
outing documentary Outrage, has tweeted about his plans to make public revealing photographs.
Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, has been fighting the rumors for years. Most recently he told the New York Times: “Like maybe I'm having a clandestine affair with Ricky Martin. I know it's really gonna upset a lot of
gay men – I'm sure hundreds of 'em are gonna be jumping off the Golden
Gate bridge – but I ain't available. I ain't gay. Sorry.”
After Graham – a 55-year-old U.S. Air Force reservist and perennial bachelor
gay and bisexual troops serving openly, Rogers released a pair of tweets.
“I wonder if Lindsey Graham knows I have pictures of a man who spent the
night at his house. pls RT,” Rogers, who claims a perfect outing record,
messaged his followers.
About half an hour later, he added: “Just reached lawyer at home. Meeting
set for Tues. on releasing pix of man who spent night at Lindsey Graham's.”
On Tuesday, Rogers clarified his messages, saying in a blog post that he's “working on it.”
The next step “is to contact Lindsey Graham's office (as instructed by
my counsel) to show them what I have and to see if they want to make an
on the record comment.”
