... them? It may be 'common knowledge' but it don't it make it so.

There was 'common knowledge' that Hillary Clinton was part of a child trafficking at a pizza parlor in New York, too.

Lindsey may or may not be gay, trans, or a woman; but he is a criminal. He no worse a criminal either for being or not being gay, trans or a woman.

Because he is a hypocrite of the worst order with his treatment of gay/trans issues. So they often refer to him as Lady G to point out his hypocrisy. In fact, I think it was the gay community who coined this term for Lindsey. It’s not a slam on gays or trans, it’s a slam on Lindsey’s hypocrisy.

He is known in DC as Lady G, mostly by gay/trans escorts and prostitutes. He earned the name when doing business with them.
Sometimes nicknames are nicknames, not intentional slurs. Lighten up?

I can say that I can be bitchie at times. I can be, but do not dare call me one. That is a slur. It is.

Gay men preform on stage and call themselves Lady whatever. Some just go by Cher or Liza. You do it, then it is a slur. It is.

As for the N word? They can call themselves whatever they please. You do it it is in fact a slur. It is.

Don't do it. It is unexceptionable.

I grew up, summers in a very gay community. My parents and aunt and uncle danced at gay bars, they were very straight. Never once heard them call a man Lady B, they called him Brian.

Again, we’re talking about calling Lindsey Graham Lady G, not any random gay or trans person. K? One guy.

If I called Lindsey Graham by his name versus Lady G in front of my gay friends, who will only refer to graham as Lady G, they would look at me like I was nuts. They much prefer Lady G...He has not deserved the courtesy of using his given name as far as they (and I) are concerned.

We are conflating calling a single man a nickname given to him by the community he hurts with carte Blanche calling random or anonymous gay/trans “Lady”.

False equivalency

You're sensitive about being gay. But here in Northern California we don't worry about these things. It's quite normal here.

She likes me to call her "Queen D" and I don't get all bent out of shape about it. I have gone to some of the gay clubs with her and I don't drink. I actually think they have more fun than us married straight guys.

But to answer your original statement, Graham has always been known as Lady G. For at least a decade. It's what many call him. It isn't a slur as much as it is a nickname. Even the queens call him Lady G.

airport surrounded by angry Trump humpers, and he's too much of a coward to defend himself.

Plus, PLUS, Graham has spent the last four years not defending US against the monster that is Donald Trump.
