What era in time do these people think R’s are trying to conserve to, after or before civil rights?

      They’re not well liked.

      I think that probably would’ve sufficed. Even the Republicans shun gay Republicans because they don’t want them to exist. Gay Republicans are like the most baffling thing to me. Like a Jewish Nazi.

        There were always Jewish Nazis, or at least enablers. They’re called Kapo, which is one of the most insulting words a Jew can call another. When Bergen-Belsen was liberated, the prisoners turned on the Kapos, and lynched 170 of them on the spot.

        One of HitlerPig’s closest and most loyal advisors is one: Kapo Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller.

        Perhaps we should extend the meaning to include gay Republicans, or at least gay MAGAs.

        Gay people can be gullible and naive too. Nobody said they were perfect.

        Fun facts: The 2nd amendment was created before bullets let alone bump stocks. Kamala was a gun owner. Trump isn’t allowed to own one because he’s a convicted rapist.

          It’s because he’s a convicted felon. The rape thing was in civil court.

    They claimed to accept black people way before you, and they didn’t (look at the sieg heils and white supremacy claims). They only pretended to accept gay people recently, and you thought this was serious?

    Same sex marriage was such a good example of democracy working. MA stood alone, defiant and proud, for years. Then some of the neighboring states went “You know what? They didn’t get smote with fire and brimstone. Maybe I can do that too.”

    Only 10 years after Massachusetts took the first step, it was growing past the recently blue states as voters came around to accepting it, and if it had another 5 years, we would’ve been taking would-be holdouts like Texas.

    That process was cut short, but I haven’t seen any polling that suggests we’re not still collectively sliding that direction, so even if the supreme court reverses Obergefell v. Hodges, I don’t think there’s popular support for bans this time.

      But they already exist. My state constitution has a prohibition on recognition of gay marriages. These laws won’t stay nullified and have to be reestablished. And much like we see with abortion they’re going to next go for a nationwide ban.

          Where that falls short is just how much of the population that appears to include. I’m all set to believe in plain incompetence, weaponized incompetence, stubborn incompetence …. But 50% of voters?

            Deep in human history, staying in good graces with our tribe was more important to survival than having beliefs be factual. We are genetically hardwired to pull whatever mental gymnastics are required to maintain membership in the tribe, because our ancestors who failed at that died before passing on their genes. It’s not really stupidity or incompetence, it’s an operating system property.

    Notice how the author justifies himself. He’s pro-life, 2nd, ect…

    This screams “I’m one of the good ones”, and implies that he has internalized homophobia. Anyway, it’s some next level “pick me” shit.

    What a useful fucking idiot of a dumpster fire. You’re gay and vote for the guy who wants you to lose rights? Either you’re a complete fucking idiot, or you’re a psychopath who’s also a complete fucking idiot.

    So many “gays” were pro trump over at askgaybros. Now they post in gay conservative and gaslight each other.

      It’s a tale as old as time. They don’t see themselves as the ‘bad’ gays or Jews or whatever that their leaders and other Republicans/Torys/Religions etc hate. They think they’ll be spared because they’re special. All the way to the camps they believe this.

    “It doesn’t matter until it affects me” - republicans who thought “winning” would just hurt those they disagreed with.
