Last night, Alan Colmes had ALIPAC’s William Gheen on his program to discuss this rather unique strategy, asking Gheen how he knows that Graham is gay since Graham insists that he is not, to which Green explained that he’s worked for gay politicans in the past … so he apparently has really good “gaydar” or something.
