The granddaughter of Senator Jesse Helms, whom many consider the most anti-gay legislator in U.S. history and who is touting him during her elective campaign, is herself a partnered lesbian, friends of the couple tell RAW STORY.

Jennifer Knox, granddaughter of the retired North Carolina Republican senator, has been in a committed relationship with her partner Shields Carstarphen for over three years, they say. Knox is vying to become a district judge in North Carolina; Carstarphen is the treasurer of her campaign.

Our sources, who asked RAW STORY to keep their names private, say they have known the parties for many years. They have also communicated with blogACTIVE.com, a site known for reporting on closeted anti-gay politicians.

The site reports that the Republican Party, while refusing to answer questions about Knox’s sexuality, mailed homophobic flyers in a Democratic state senate race, and that the GOP may have known Knox was gay but did nothing to rebuke her.

Wow, remember that HOMOPHOBE flyer that was sent out in the south? I can't believe this woman--you can't pick your relatives, for sure, but to run USING HIM to get votes is like saying to a bunch of Nazi haters VOTE FOR ME CUZ MY GRAMPA WAS HITLER, and failing to mention that you are Jewish! And to make matters worse, she even was the head honcho of WOMEN FOR HELMS .... what is it about GOP gays? It's like they do not SEE the hatred and the impact on the lives of others. I guess money does that to some....

And what is it with closeted gays hiring the significant other? Between Drier paying his boyfriend four hundred bucks less than KKKarl Rove gets, and McGreevey (though he is a DEM) hiring Golan Cipel, and this gal making her live-in the campaign TREASURER....it's like, GOOD GRIEF. All I can think about is the shit Hillary Clinton took for wanting to do something, without any pay for her trouble, about health care. I guess all she needed to be was a gay republican man on the payroll sleeping secretly with Clinton, and all would have been well.

1. Good rant

These self-destructive Republican hypocrites have some very weird psychological issues, don't they?
