He must wear blinders. What a stupid mf'er.

and everybody knows it, and nobody cares.
sooo many of the campaign staffers, and more electeds than u wd think.

i agree it’s weird af. but there’s no 1 more twisted than a gooper.

OPENLY gay Republicans were already a ridiculously small group even pre-Trump, for obvious reasons.

People like Altman and Thiel can actually get away with it because they're billionaires and therefore all but untouchable (they have nothing to fear from the Republican base, who do nothing but lick their boots and enable them), but they're the exception.

That is the first fallacy that we need to stop spreading.

They are only untouchable if we keep letting them convince us that they are untouchable.

Because, they are most certainly... 'touchable'...

But this guy is openly gay and seems surprised that the Republican Party is doing... what it does.

he's bi,kinky and supports the orange menace. i dont have anything do do with him anymore since he went full maga but i just dont understand how you can support a party that literall hates you and want to kill you

would never tolerate someone spewing that kind of bullshit.

...is that for the het/pans (where most of the bisexual men I know hang out, at least if they want to play with women much of the time), most of them are using scene names -- pseudonyms that might be the primary identity they are known by, even by people they play with. An event might require legal ID for proof of age, but only at the door. The more organized clubs might run the name past the publicly accessible sex offenders list, which of course is imperfect, and not useful to filter out rethugs.

But it is such a taboo to ask someone's legal name that unless someone's politics are obvious, a venue, club, or recurring event is risking a lot to decline admittance to even a known rethug. If the trumper wants to threaten a lawsuit, discovery could mean every member's identity being turned over -- thus risking jobs and sometimes custody of children.

On an individual level, the whisper network (and the online version that rhymes with get life) can accomplish a lot. But a "disgruntled insider" who wants to raise a stink holds nearly all the cards, as their orange turdly leader likes to brag.

His kink name and his real name. I don’t know if he’s on that site you mentioned ( I’m familiar with it) but a lot of people I’m friends with know both of his names and his politics.

I’m always surprised at who turns out to be maga. We used to do a lot with the jimmy buffet fan club ( parottheads). But found a lot of them were hard core maga and we choose not to associate with them so we quit the club. As if Jimmy Buffett would have anything to do with MAGA

In my experience, they generally can't help but make it obvious, but I hadn't considered the risk to the club/venue as a whole for denying him access. That's a huge problem and I couldn't blame them for not taking their chances on that.

...but there is a certain percentage that either has honed their "closet skills" to an expert degree; or -- and I count some relatives among this group -- their prejudices are disguised as "business sense." They see themselves as "rational" and the rest of us as undeserving of common respect...and undeserving of the truth.

More nuanced conversations discuss socializing (or whatever) with nondisclosing trumpers as a form of consent violation. We live in interesting times.

It's not that difficult to understand. You don't think a gay person can be a raging bigot or corporate elitist fuck?

I mean the Black and Latino MAGA are often bigoted against each other with both hating the LGBTQ community

The GOPs are united in their myriad bigotries.

A seething toxic melting pot.

Until two Wyomingites beat him and tied him to a fence to die. I guess that is the Wyoming ethos Reid is referring to.

And that is exactly the politics of the Republican Party. Those in the party that will not speak up enable those who impose their racist, misogynist, anti-LGBTQ+ worldview.

Period.

Fat lot of good it did them.

“Crosses a line”????!! ALL your party does is cross the lines of decency, integrity, honor, tolerance etc etc etc.
This Gay Leopard face-eating moment of reckoning will probably NOT end up with this unfortunate man waking up….but as “a gay”myself, these Log Cabin FAFO moments are equal parts tragic and hilarious.

Astonishing.

But I'm a white cis guy so no need to fuck with it

I hope it....gets someone's attention

I have no tolerance or compassion for any of my fellow lgbtq+ folk who willfully identify as republican. It is doubly insulting and degrading now in this fascist regime! Conservative? Fine. Be conservative. But don't you fucking dare use your sexuality as a defense against the magats you choose to embrace! Fuck off, Reid. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

where we're at. The last 10 years would've been very different if that was the case.

Also, Republicans have been calling the community "groomers" and shit for like a decade now as well, so it blows my mind that those words came out of this idiot's mouth.

Where the fuck has he been? Under a rock?

everyone's rights in your sights.

I bet that crying mf'er didn't peep a word. Foul beasts every one of 'em.

That's why he will lose the election and win the lawsuits

Sure, Jan.

how much and how long they've been defending and enabling this shit, even more so in recent years.

This is the party that nominated, defended, and almost succeeded in electing Roy Moore, and is now pushing for people like Ken Paxton (a pedophile protector who literally let a child rapist out of prison after a day).

This thread is 💯!

...(whatever you may think about them) quipped about how some staffers were only moderates 'because they weren't gay enough'. I also wonder at this - why would you want to be a member of a party that despises you and wants to strip you of your rights and dignity?

They can't wait to rush home after being humiliated all day and, well, you know.........

Now you know it feels when you slur the transgender community and call trans women “men” and pedophiles for just trying to pee. I hope you lose your lawsuit too, Asshole
