Mike Rogers, blogger and gay rights activist, is best known for his activity in outing closeted gay politicians who actively oppose gay rights has Republican Sen Lindsey Graham in his crosshairs. Graham, a Republican, was furious over the last-minute “jam” of legislation that repeals “Don't Ask, Don't Tell,” the 17-year-old law that bans gay and bisexual troops from serving openly.
“I am very disappointed such a major policy change was jammed through the lame duck Congress without the ability to offer one single amendment,” Graham said in a statement after Congress approved repeal over the weekend.
The 55-year-old bachelor has been denying gay rumors for years. Most recently he told the New York Times: “Like maybe I'm having a clandestine affair with Ricky Martin. I know it's really gonna upset a lot of gay men – I'm sure hundreds of 'em are gonna be jumping off the Golden Gate bridge – but I ain't available. I ain't gay. Sorry.”
A pair of tweets on Saturday from Michael Rogers, who claims a perfect outing record, suggests Graham – who continues to serve in the U.S. Air Force Reserves – might soon be deflecting more questions about his sexuality.
“I wonder if Lindsey Graham knows I have pictures of a man who spent the night at his house. pls RT,” Rogers messaged his followers.
About half an hour later, he added: “Just reached lawyer at home. Meeting set for Tues. on releasing pix of man who spent night at Lindsey Graham's.”
