There is no reason to speculate about Lindsey Graham's sexual orientation. It doesn't really matter whether he is gay or straight. The policies he supports and his support of Trump, his hawkish stance on other countries, and his flip flopping are reason enough to condemn him.
It is alarming to hear attacks like, "Miss Lindsey" as well. Attacking people based on gendered lines or on their sexual orientations, assumes the juxtaposition of "what they are v. what is appropriate to be".

If Trump or the Russians have some dirt on him it probably isn't his sexual orientation.
