    There's absolutely no reason for anyone to care about this and certainly not to kink-shame. The real offense here (if true) is that Falwell's dubious financial dealings with Granda.https://twitter.com/mviser/status/1297933128972066817 …

    Giancarlo Granda says he began a sexual relationship with the Falwells when he was 20, working as a pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel. Over a seven year affair, he says he had sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell Jr, looked on: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-falwell-relationship/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=twitter …

        Without kink-shaming, it is worth pointing out Falwell's hypocrisy (as president of a university with very rigid rules for faculty/students). And larger irony that MAGA-heads use cuck as term of abuse & Falwell was early Trump champion.

        The larger political issue is how Falwell's colorful personal life might relate to his Trump endorsement. As @joshtpm has asked: what did Trump and Michael Cohen know about Falwell? Did they leverage that knowledge for endorsement?

        The hypocrisy makes it relevant because of the hypocrisy alone, but we have to direct the outrage there, not at the specific acts of private people. See: gay jokes, body shaming jokes, sex worker jokes.

        Michael Cohen being involved and Trump getting a Falwell endorsement is what makes it relevant.

        Falwell's endorsement of Trump was a game changer. Did Trump blackmail him for it? Michael Cohen would likely know.

        Uh also their hypocrisy re: traditional marriage and moral superiority. They have been advocating against LGBT people, feminists, premarital sex, adultery and reproductive rights for decades.

        Yes, imposing and enforcing moral conduct rules against students, faculty, and staff at the university you lead while utterly violating them yourself does "matter", even if the sex by itself is just to each their own.
