Closet Guy And Politics

89 Comments

[Blind Gossip] While you already know that many politicians are hypocrites, it’s still interesting as to the lengths they will go to in order to damage another politician.

This famous politician is gay. Always has been.

The reason we don’t talk about him a lot is because, although he is in the closet, he has never engaged in some of the trickery that other gay politicians have.

Like that female politician who married a male politician which advanced her own political career. Or that male politician who will engage a beard so he can run for President.

Anyway, Closet Guy dated women when he was much younger and then simply stopped. He never married or hired a beard. You might not know that he has been living with his boyfriend for more than twenty years. He refers to the boyfriend as his “housemate” and they both keep a low profile.

Some politicians on the other side, though, are now threatening to out him.

They want to criticize him for not being out and for not doing more to support the LGBT community.

It’s a slippery slope, though.

If they out someone in the opposing party, does this make them look LGBT friendly… or LGBT hostile? And if you out one of theirs… does that entitle them to out one of yours?

This could get ugly!

  3. Closet Guy: Lindsay Graham. This is commonly known in South Carolina and not a blind. People just honestly don’t care.

    Married Female: Didn’t Huma Abedin call off the divorce.

    Male Politician with a beard: Former L. Governer of SC Andre Bauer. Gay as can be and dated one of my girlfriends.

    • I kind of disagree with your first point that people in SC kind of don’t care that Lindsey Graham is a closeted gay man. If it were that simple, he would just come out and be proud! If he calls his partner of 20 years, his housemate, it’s obvious that people do care and he’s apprehensive of the response he’ll get.

  7. Closet guy: Former NYC Mayor Bloomberg.
    Fem pol: HilLIARy Clinton
    Male with beard: Corey Booker

    Good God, no! That’s an awful thing to do to someone in the name of social justice! Leave them alone, it’s their life.

  14. Closet Guy: Jerry Brown

    Woman: Crooked Hillary, although when she met Bill he wasn’t a politician. She certainly stayed married to him to advance her career though. Michelle Bachman is also in a bearded marriage but I forgot if her husband is/was a politician.

    Bearding Guy; Cory Booker and no one believes his relationship

    To quote The Boss: closets are for hangers, baby – winners use the door. So use it Cory, that’s what it’s there for. (Wouldn’t vote for him anyway. Not impressed.)

  15. Closet Guy: Sen Lindsey Graham

    Married Female: Hilary Clinton

    Male with Beard: Corey Booker

    Nope, let them live life how they want. Out or closeted. It’s their choice, and I respect that.

  20. Closet Guy: Lindsey Graham
    Married Female Politician: Hillary Clinton
    Male Politician with Beard: Cory Booker

    Should ALL politicians be forced out of the closet? No
    Outing politicians is a slippery slope. A culture of exposing politician’s private lives will lead to fewer good people running for public office. Live and let live.

  22. Closet Guy: Lindsey Graham (so is the other senator from SC, Tim Scott)
    Married Female Politician: Huma Abedin
    Male Politician with Beard: Corey Booker

  23. Lindsey Graham?

    Cory Booker is the guy with the Beard
    There have been rumors about Hilary forever though I kind of doubt them. With the Right Wing fervor over her, someone would have found real evidence.

    I tend to think a person’s sexuality is their own business and if they don’t want to come out it is none of our business. That said, I don’t extend that to people who actively work to curtail gay rights. If it is Lindsey, leak it.

  25. Closeted politician: Lindsey Graham
    Married woman politician: Mary Matalin, although she may be more a “consultant” than a politician. I’m still going to go with her.
    Politician with beard: Corey Booker

  29. Closeted Guy: Lindsay Graham
    Female Pol: Hilary Clinton
    Male Pol w/breard: Corey Booker
    Out him. Not like it’s an actual secret. He should suffer the same as other marginalized he thinks should lift themselves from their bootstraps or are in some way at fault for the harm that comes their way. He’s fine inflicting harm on others, not willing to suffer same repercussions. Such hypocrisy and cowardice!
    That’s prob the kompromat Putin has on him. Maybe Graham will remember who he serves.

  35. Closet guy: Tim Scott- especially touchy for Democrats to out him (which they shouldn’t) because it would be incredibly hypocritical
    Married Female: Hillary? (Based on countless rumors, I don’t know either way nor does it matter to me)
    Male Politician with Beard: Cory Booker

  37. Closet guy- Lindsey Graham
    Married Poli- Hillary Clinton
    Make with Beard – Cory Booker

    I don’t believe forcing anyone – they just have to deal with the consequences of their decisions- whatever they may be.

  39. Politician-Lindsay Graham

    Female-Hillary Clinton
    Bearded Politician-Cory Booker

    Should gay politicians be outed? Perhaps if they’re hypocritical/detrimental to the LGBTQ community, but I’m straight so I feel like it’s not really my place to judge…which is why I’m judging anonymously 🙂

  41. Closet guy – ? At first I thought Lindsey Graham but it says keeps a low profile. He doesn’t do that. If you mean low profile as a couple, then he would be my guess.
    Male/Female – IDK.
    Beard – Obviously Cory Booker.
    I think IVF is a wonderful tool. I think a lot of bearded couples also use it so they can convince people they are straight. Whenever there are rumors about someone, and they’ve had children through IVF, I figure they live separate lives and one or both are gay.

  42. Closet Guy: Lindsey Graham, Republican Senator South Carolina

    Married Female Politician: Kamala Harris

    Male Politician with Beard: Cory Booker

    [Optional] Should ALL politicians be forced out of the closet? Why or why not? No…it is considered a huge a political liability.

  45. Closet Guy: Lindsey Graham
    Married Female Politician: no clue. Hillary and Bill married fairly young, when neither was really a politician. The other high profile women I can think of (Haley, Harris, Gillibrand) aren’t married to politicians.
    Male Politician with Beard: Booker

    Should ALL politicians be forced out of the closet? Why or why not? No, being out of the closet is a personal choice. I support politicians because of the policies they propose, not because of their personal life.

  48. Lindsay Graham
    Hilary Clinton
    Cory Booker
    Coming out is a private matter, but if you’re arguing that homosexuality is a sin all the while you’re schtupping your “housemate” in secret…it gets a bit wavy.

  49. Not much sense for the Republicans to out a Democrat and attack him as inadequately pro-LGBT, since many Repub voters are anti-LGBT themselves. So it must be a Republican being discussed.

    As Mitch “Dishonorable Discharge” McConnell and Marco “In the Park in the Dark” Rubio are both married (didn’t know that about Marco), I’ll have to go with Lindsey Graham.

    Female Closeted Politician: Hillary Clinton? (Seems obvious, though)
    Male Beard-Hirer: Corporate Cory Booker, duh.

  50. Lindsey Graham
    I can’t think of who the female politician is unless it’s Huma, but she’s more of a political operative.
    Corey Booker is the one who has a beard.

    No, I think it’s horrible when people out people! It’s different when they hire beards and marry because that’s being openly deceptive. I am not a Lindsey Graham fan, but he’s never outed people or gotten into people’s private business. He’s just quietly living his life.
