Trans Author Alleges Lindsey Graham Hired Her for Sex Work
Following the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, the LGBTQ+ community reacted to his long record of opposing LGBTQ+ civil rights, including marriage equality and workplace discrimination protections, and his support for bans on gender-affirming care for minors. This record stood in stark contrast to ongoing speculation about Graham’s own sexual orientation, which he consistently denied. The news of his passing was amplified by a viral Instagram post from trans author Jesse James Rose, who alleged Graham had paid her for sex work prior to her transition, highlighting a perceived hypocrisy in his political stances and personal life.
