Obviously, it is not just that he was a closeted gay man. Everybody already knows and knew that and he won elections in South Carolina with that being an open secret. At the end of the day, not even the nutty evangelicals cared about that because he was a pit bull for a conservative court that did their bidding (and because Southern culture actually accepts the occasional "confirmed bachelor" as a matter of course).

No, it has to be something actually bad. Something truly terrible. Something horrific and unforgivable. That's the reason that even the sister would do anything she was told in order to prevent it getting out. It has to be absolutely beyond the pale and absolutely indisputably true.
