The CLOSETocracy Myth

October 30, 2026 · 1 h 34 min

Show notes

The belief that a mafia of closeted homosexuals exists within the federal government is not a new one. Neither is the concern that the presence of said homosexuals presents a national security blackmail threat. But the “closetocracy” has found renewed interest not on the openly homophobic right, but within parts of the conspiracy-curious left. When Cenk Uygur of the left-wing talk show The Young Turks announced a documentary called “The CLOSETocracy” about a closeted U.S. senator who allegedly hires gay sex workers, I was excited for my skepticism towards this theory to be proven wrong. After watching the documentary, my skeptecism remains. Today, the gals of In Bed With The Right and I trace the origins of a painful conspiracy and, of course, seek the TRUTH!
