      I love what John Oliver said on his segment about I believe Lindsay Graham.

      Paraphrasing, he could have helped usher in the change that would have made his lifestyle more acceptable and more inclusive. But he wanted power.

      These people choose to be a Republican. They choose to associate with a party that is actively trying to eliminate the very people they are and the sad thing is that they think they are the exception. They think the party will accept them.

      And the hard, harsh truth is that they are only accepted so long as it’s convenient. I think he knew this and that’s why he chose to end his life.

      It’s sad that he felt he had to do that. But I’m not holding my breath for the GOP to say that they learned a lesson from it.
