9. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't

Nothing was ever substantiated beyond social media claims. Effeminate men are not always gay. I just found out the other day a YouTuber who I've watched for a few years and just assumed was gay actually has a wife. I learned of this when he announced they had a baby. Hell, I didn't even know the wife existed. But Graham was single and came off a certain way, so there's always the potential.

I will say he did give an awful lot of straight people free license to make gay jokes for a long time.

It must have been very liberating for them to finally have an acceptable target.

Ah well. Guess they'll have to find another potentially closeted politician to transfer all that "fun" to.
