Graham's adult private life -- whether he's gay or straight or uninterested or likes to dress up like a big fuzzy green frog or whatnot -- are simply his own business and nobody else's. I usually don't much like his politics -- and that's where the public conversation should stay. I'd probably make an exception to that rule, if he's arrested for peeping in other people's windos or somesuch, or he's an intolerable noisy hypocritical blowhard, but as a general rule I'm tired of hearing the nonstop Eek! Giblets! as a substitute for rational policy discussions
