Closet Guy And Politics

[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.

What 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!

    I’d rather they come out themselves. But if they’re living a lie, what else are they lying about?

    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.

    Closet Guy: Lindsey Graham (so is the other senator from SC, Tim Scott)
    Married Female Politician: Huma Abedin

  21. travio says

    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.

    I think it’s a shame he can’t come out (I truely don’t care) but forced NO.

  27. JuiceBoxHero says

    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.

    Lindsey Graham the almighty hypocrite. What they do in the bedroom is none of my concern. I just can’t abide this sanctimonious mint julep.

  33. leggomymeggo says

    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

  35. badgerette85 says

    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.

  38. gpisces says

    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 🙂

  40. javajolted says

    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.

    Closet Guy: Lindsey Graham, Republican Senator South Carolina

    Married Female Politician: Kamala Harris

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

  44. gossipzillaisback says

    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.

  47. gunther85 says

    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.

  48. researchboy says

    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.

  49. GretaGuesses says

    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.

  50. MinnieMe says

    Closet guy?
    married Female = Hillary
    Male with Beard – Cory Booker
    Nobody should be forced out. If they want people to know it’s up to them to tell.

  51. Henriette says

    Have no idea who this is. But in answer to the optional question: On no account does anyone have the right to out anyone. It is a personal thing and should be their choice and theirs alone.

  53. WorkHardBeNice says

    1) Lindsay Graham
    2) Hillary Clinton
    3) Corey Booker

    Outing people is rarely done out of genuine care or concern. But I’m pretty sure these three politicians are understood to be gay.

  54. Gerseychick says

    Lindsay Graham
    Hillthebeast and Slimeball Bill
    Corey Booker and Rosario Dawson……………
    It’s very sad, that people are still in the closet in 2019…..

  55. ArcticFantasy says

    Closet Gay: Lindsay Graham.
    Married Female: Hilary although I think her marraige is much more complex than that.
    Male w/ Beard: Cory Booker.

  57. hwkgirl1 says

    Lindsey Graham is the one with the long time live in
    Huma Abedin was the female politician .. except Weiner was being penisy with everyone else. Total long time set up by the Clinton’s.
    Cory Booker will run for prez

    I don’t care if you are closeted, that is your choice, but being a massive self hating hypocrite like Graham is reprehensible.

  58. nowyoutellme says

    I think I lost my comment:

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

    It disgusts me when anyone is outed against their will and I definitely consider it a hostile act, usually committed by other LGBTs. Democrats have already started to out Graham, namely Stephanie Ruhle. The LGBT community should be up in arms over this but they won’t be.

  61. spunkfunker says

    Lindsey Graham

    Nor sure but I know everyone will say Hillary

    Cory Booker

    No, what you do in your own bedroom is none of my business, even if you are a hypocrite

  62. aaaTaako says

    Closet Guy: Lindsey Graham

    Married Female Politician: Hillary rumors
    (I don’t believe them. She’s more the unsexy yet obsessed/possessive type). Kay Ivey would be a better bet but she’s been divorced for ages.

    Male Politician with Beard:
    Cory Booker and Rosario Dawson

    [Optional] Should ALL politicians be forced out of the closet?
    ALL? No. It’s up to them, even though it’s tempting when they legislate against and are derogatory towards the LGBTQ community.

    If you run for public office & control public money, then your personal life is fair game. You are selling yourself as an honest representative of your constituents, but if you are lying and hiding yourself, then that is not honest. If you want a private life, then remain a private citizen.

    Sen. Miss Lindsey Graham
    Elaine Chow (Mitch McConnell’s wife)
    Cory Booker

    Forcing anyone out of the closet is wrong. Only that person should be allowed to control their own narrative and life story. Things would become very interesting however… professional athletes and celebrities would be at risk for “outings” and this could become the modern 50’s communist shill witch hunts. Though many probably like to ride a broomstick or two 😉

    They should not be forced out, but they should be able to live their truth.

    Closeted- Lindsey Graham

  74. wendywoo says

    Closet Guy: Lindsay Graham

    Married Female Politician: NOT HILLARY

    Male Politician with Beard: Cory Booker.

    If their stances are hypocritical, absolutely.
    Or, more importantly, if a foreign power (coughRussiacough) is using it as a way to blackmail them- ABSOFRIGGINGLUTELY.

  76. rebeccadewinter says

    Lindsay Graham
    Hillary Clinton
    Cory Booker

    Outing someone publicly against their wishes is always wrong, even if you disagree with them and their politics. It might by hypocrisy but there are far more important things people are hypocrites about, and everyone deserves a private life as long as they are not harming anyone.

  77. Girlfriend says

    Closet Guy: no clue

    Married Female Politician: Hilary

    [Optional] Should ALL politicians be forced out of the closet? Why or why not? Forced out–no.

  78. VegasMike says

    The silhouette and the red door tell me it’s the senior senator from South Carolina, Republican Lindsey Graham.

    Female politician, Secretary of Transportaton and daughter of the Chinese mob Elaine Chao (married to Mitch McConnell of Kentucky).

    Bearded (and bald) one, Our favorite Corey Booker

  80. gunther85 says

    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.

  81. kittymyers says

    I agree with your answer of Jerry Brown. I remember he and Linda Ronstadt ‘dated’ quite a while in the 70s.
