MS candidate for governor Robert Foster would not allow reporter @thisislarrison to do a journalistic ride-along with him unless she brought a male reporter with her. “The Billy Graham Rule,” which Mike Pence also follows, denise professional women the respect they deserve...
...and also denies them the ability to do their job the same way any male journalist, such as me or her colleague @GanucheauAdam, would be able to.

No matter how good one might think their intent, it’s a rule that marginalizes professional women. Women reporters deserve better.
Also: gay sex rumors are a thing, too; just ask former MS Gov. Bill Allain, who in his 1983 race was accused of paying 3 male sex workers for “services” (the 3 men later claimed they were paid by GOP operatives to make those claims against Dem Allain).
