A group of male sex workers are getting to ready publicly out a GOP senator (most likely Graham)

I’m not gay, so I don’t have any personal stakes in the question of whether it’s OK to out somebody...but this seems like a bad thing for younger folks who are struggling to make that decision themselves. Weaponizing an innate characteristic of a person against them, even if they are terrible and deserve no pity individually, has repercussions on other with that same characteristic. Just seems short sighted.


I think they’ll understand the context. This is a man who has made a career out of catering to homophobes. So it would only make sense that this would hurt his career. It’s 2020 so there are plenty of examples of successful celebrities who have still done very well after coming out.

 

What was really difficult for me once I realized I was queer was contending with the fact that you could be openly opposed to gay rights and become a very successful politician for it. Graham has helped to create a culture that makes many of us feel like second class citizens. This is more damaging IMO.

is there anything to this besides someone posting on twitter? 

 

He’s a known porn star, so it’s not just a random person on Twitter. At this point if he lying the backlash from the community could hurt his career so I doubt he’s making it up for publicity. He could be, but he does have something to lose by doing so.
