Check out the Bulwark YouTube and Podcast. Most of their hosts are LBGTQ and former Republicans. They have a few episodes where they talk about their experiences and why they left the Republican Party. They are very anti Trump and MAGA.
That piece of shit deserves a noose for supporting that party
Dumbfuck realizes he’s not that far down on their list.
Eating each other from the inside. Good. Keep it up, MAGA!
WOW Ultimate fit for this community, I never understood why other gay men or women even bothered to attempt to align themselves with Republicans who hate our guts in most cases. It’s so cringe, there is a reason why Stonewall happened and probably needs to happen again. This time making sure to fight for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community, as conservatism is always the path towards fascism, it cannot be allowed to win.
Peter Theil is a Republican. And when Gawker forced him out of the closet, he turned around and set Hulk Hogan against them to sue them into oblivion.
Of course, it’s probably different when you’re putting on a marionette show.
Had a gay acquaintance who was staunchly Republican. This guy was wealthy ($100,000,000+) and only cared about taxes. He was unbelievably miserly and his friends refused to go out to eat with him because he refused to leave a tip. Deeply closeted too or so he thought. Everyone in his little town knew.
So deeply closeted that he burst out through the back wall like a reverse Kool-Aid Man and went looking for dick.
Norm Macdonald was deeply closeted.
It’s as simple as this: just because you’re gay (or a member of any other minority group for that matter) doesn’t mean that you’re not a shitty person. Just look at Peter Thiel for ffs…
Sure, we should all aspire to be good people and do good by our respective communities and to help others who are “others“, but that doesn’t mean we do.
It’s because they value personal comfort and the accumulation of clout and wealth over the lives of, well, anyone. It’s one of the reasons that corporate pride is so insidious- it defangs and co-opts a truly liberatory movement into just another flavor of exploitative capitalism. The queer folks (even the cis gay men who are attempting to distance themselves from the queer community) who attach themselves to systems of power believe that they can take advantage of those systems to their own benefit without realizing or believing that they’ll never really be part of that club and that they’re next on the chopping block. The especially frustrating thing is that this is a pattern that has repeated itself throughout history… sigh.

Ernst Röhm says hello.

Huh, yeah that sounds quite accurate to me. Personally, while I don’t feel like I belong anywhere as a gay man…I don’t feel drawn to the idea of building both clout or wealth, as that represents a path towards corruption of the self. Only in rare cases does it allow good people to speak as a positive voice with weight that matters…
Despite seeing the pattern in history, I still can’t fully come to grips with the idea of willingly walking the path of empowering those who would love to see you executed or dead. Temporary comfort won’t save you from those with insidious intentions, just delay the inevitable when the power of those considered truly part of the in-group is entrenched. Man, humans are frustratingly weird!
I instead want people to be able to live their lives, freely without having to hide who they are (unless they are a bigot, well, they can buzz off). Tearing away artificial social constructs and constraints will lead to better lives for everyone, but I don’t see that happening until I am long dead.
It’s like a black person joining the kkk.
