Amid the ongoing partial government shutdown that has sparked chaos and long lines at airports nationwide, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was spotted at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida dining at Chef Mickey’s, and having a “grand ol’ time,” TMZ reported on Sunday, sparking immediate backlash from several notable critics.

“Divas still need vacation,” reads a social media post from California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office in response to Graham’s Disney World getaway.

“Why is an old man with no kids going to Disney?” wrote conservative journalist Cassandra MacDonald in a social media post on X.

Graham confirmed his trip to Disney World to TMZ, telling the outlet that he was in Florida on official business. "I was invited to a meeting in South Florida on Friday with Trump official Steve Witkoff... to talk about the possibility of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel,” Graham told TMZ. “I went to Orlando to meet friends after. I'm already back in South Carolina."

Say what you want, of course. TommyT139 Mar 30 #5

It's a term meant for a woman, not a man Polybius Mar 30 #25

It's misgendering. That's how. iemanja Mar 31 #32

I have never encountered "diva" as a gay slur Miguelito Loveless Mar 30 #9

There you go! "Goddess" ... it's mis-gendering him and using it to denigrate him. QueerDuck Mar 30 #12

You went straight to the original meaning from the Italian Miguelito Loveless Mar 30 #14

When such great care is taken to split hairs to justify misgendering ... QueerDuck Mar 30 #16

IIRC - Mohammed Ali used the term "niggardly" on the Dick Cavett Show just to bring up a point. rubbersole Mar 30 #18

One can oppose a war hawk without using bigoted language... QueerDuck Mar 31 #31

If we look at some dictionary definitions of the word diva, we will see it is in use as a gender neutral Doodley Mar 31 #35

It's not about Lindsay Graham iemanja Mar 31 #33

Explain how using words in the way described in dictionaries is bigotry? Doodley Mar 31 #37

It's misgendering iemanja Mar 31 #39

No, it's not misgendering, based on the dictionary examples in the post you are replying too. It can be a gender-neutral Doodley Mar 31 #40

The difference is Graham is a creep. Would you trust him with your kids? Doodley Mar 30 #29

Who cares? iemanja Mar 31 #34

He eggs on Trump to go to war. American servicemen are killed. Schoolgirls are killed or maimed. We are on the brink of Doodley Mar 31 #36
