Too bad they couldn't come out when he was alive. I know times were more tumultuous then but, it would have been more advantageous in my politics riddled brain if they had.

I hope they heal from whatever traumatic sex acts Lindsay may have subjected them to. I always assume conservatives try to push past people's boundaries.

Shocking... that I completely forgot he died. Huh.

Least shocking reveal in history.

Of course it comes out after he's dead (I just remembered that he's dead, which was a nice pick me up)

I thought he was alive again for a second.

He's dead, Jim.

wow... just in time...

I don't find any of this particularly surprising. Graham was a fascist, of the party of pedophiles for his entire life. Frankly, age gaps is what defines pedophiles, so it isn't anything special besides being statuetory rape.

There. Fixed that for the other commenter. I hope. Maybe someone will point out something they don't like, but I hope I covered it well enough. heh.

Why now?

Not to anyone's surprise

Normally I wouldn't condone attacking a dead man's legacy. But he wasn't a man, so it's open season on this shitstain.

Now at the end of the road it comes out that he paid a lot of people, from boys to men, for sex. “I’ll make love to you” he would say, before pulling out his wallet and offering cash on bended knee. In the still of the night he would get so hard and say “good buy” & “yes, today”.

It's good to have confirmation, even though literally everyone knew about Miss Lindsey. Though I actually didn't see the minor coming there, he always seemed the sort to prefer 20 somethings

I hope the minors and all who were victimized as a part of it can find peace and get some restitution, and that those who weren't got good payout from him (though given the payment amount in there it looks unlikely)

Kelvin

He sounds hot.

What about Lindsey's sister Peter?

Just for context, Lindsey Graham asked the escort his age and the escort said he was 18. This also occurred back before real IDs that got scanned and when people 18-21 often had fake IDs for drinking. In other words, it's not like if Graham asked for Kelvin's ID that it would have proved things.

“I just need you to tell me how old you are,” Graham allegedly said at one point, according to Kelvin’s account.

“I said, ‘OK, I am 18 years old,’ ” Kelvin recalled.

It was also still constitutional to ban gay sex and gay people couldn't get married. He was also an older gay person, not particularly good looking, and still wanted to have sex, which meant paying for escorts, which was illegal already. I don't think this really shows that Lindsey Graham was some sort of evil person. He grew up with his very existence being illegal, he still couldn't legally get married, and so existing inherently meant violating laws he had been taught one way or another. He at least tried to make sure this victim was an adult.

I'm not saying Lindsey Graham wasn't horrible. He often voted against LGBT rights. But... he made something of himself as a closeted gay person during a time in which it was nearly impossible to be out. If he had come out at some point, he would have lost his career, been a public joke among conservatives, and ultimately he chose to stay in the closet.
