Scott Galloway Claims Lindsey Graham Benefited From LGBTQ Rights He Opposed
Raging Moderates
Remembering Lindsey Graham’s HYPOCRISY
What was said
"He quietly benefited from the courage of people who risked everything to secure equal rights and then turned around and argued those rights should be denied to others. Someone else paid the price. People lost jobs, rejected by their families, were even arrested, beaten, ostracized because they wanted to live honestly. And they accepted those risks so that people like Senator Graham wouldn't have to. And to enjoy the protection their courage created while Senator Graham undermined it, it's a profound failure of gratitude and integrity."
In a commentary following Senator Lindsey Graham's sudden death at 71, Scott Galloway argued that Graham's legacy will be tarnished by hypocrisy around LGBTQ rights. Galloway stated that Graham, widely believed to be gay, enjoyed freedoms won by activists who risked their lives and careers, while opposing those same rights for others through his voting record and public positions. He called this a privatization of courage won by others.
