Chelsea Handler criticized for 'homophobic' National Coming Out Day tweet

Lindsey Graham on Friday quashed rumors of being gay after Chelsea Handler wrote a tweet mocking the single Republican as being closeted, which many critics deemed homophobic.

A TMZ reporter approached Graham Friday at Reagan National Airport to ask about the 43-year-old comedian's comments, which imply that the notoriously conservative SC senator is gay. She can say what she wants to say.

But he did not appear angry at Handler, who has previously used homosexuality to attack Graham, suggesting he is being blackmailed by Russian Federation. Graham's support of Brett Kavanaugh - has been that she's stooped to using homophobia to attack him. To the extend that this matters, I'm not gay.

While Graham has previously denied he is gay, some sites have reported his sexual orientation is an "open secret" in D.C. circles. "And these comments, I don't think they reflect well on her and I don't know how [her comments] makes us a better country, but that's up to her not me", Graham added. "And that's a good thing". The comedian, an advocate for women's and LGBT rights, let the tweet stand and never followed up with further explanation. She has yet to delete it. In January, she blasted Graham with a homophobic slur for working with President Donald Trump.
