NEW YORK – Blogs on the Web said on Monday that John McCain’s Chief of Staff, Mark Buse is homosexual and is causing certain ideological clashes due to McCain’s strong position against couples of the same sex.

According to reports today, a person named Brian Davis, 46, is claiming to be Buse’s ex boyfriend. In addition, a gay community source quotes anonymous people from the Log Cabin Republicans- the only organization of republicans who support equality for gay and lesbian Americans- who have also claimed Buse is homosexual.

Blogger Michael Rogers wrote on that he has talked to unidentified people who testified Buse is gay. “The source told me, ironically, that Buse and his partner of over ten years had a sling hanging in, of all places, the closet.”

Rogers also condemns Buse’s work “against the interests of the lesbian and gay community while living as a gay man.”

Another blogger also referred to three different individuals, two of them members of the Log Cabin Republicans, who claim McCain’s Senate chief of staff, Mark Buse, is gay.

“None of these individuals would be quoted by name, though each described Buse as being rather “open” to those around him and to his family in a “glass closet” rather than deeply undercover or trying to appear heterosexual.” Writes Michelangelo Signorile.

John McCain campaign has not commented on this issue.
