LGBTQ Republicans say they feel misled by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) after the GOP presidential hopeful’s “war room” shared a bizarre video widely seen as inflammatory. The video bashed former P…
I think people sometimes fail to realize the only reason LGBTQ folks are assumed to be liberal/left-leaning is because that's the only side that hasn't been advocating for at least light genocide for ages. It has nothing to do with being non-straight, and everything to do with historical/cultural context. So of course there are gay fascists. You can find idiots and assholes in any group.
Oh that's simple. Let me help you with that. If you're LGBTQ then DeSantis wants you dead. Full stop. There are no "good ones" here, he'll gleefully order you all shot if he can.
They were in the same place then as conservative LGBT+ people are now. There was no Final Solution yet. They didn't think they were those kind of Jews. And if the GOP gets their way and queer people start getting rounded up, they will realize they were those kind of queer people.
When will conservatives from marginalised groups realise that the moment they are no longer useful or can be used as a wedge issue they will be thrown onto the pyre to burn?
Conservative LGBTQ+ people make the mistake of thinking their richness or whiteness outweighs their LGBTQ+-ness in the eyes of their fellow conservatives.
It does not. You are being kept around as a trophy. You are who they are referring to in "Some of my best friends are gay!"
The instant it's no longer expedient to have a gay friend nearby, you'll be dumped.
These people are the fffn stupidest people alive. How have they been mislead?? They literally vote for a party that...used hate-based politics against LGBT+ people for decades already???
Gotta love the "Well, they wouldn't do that to me, I'm one of the good ones!" attitude these people take. Like, you weren't 'mislead' by DeathSentence, he told you exactly what he was going to do. Just because you thought you were safe because of the hat you wear doesn't mean you didn't know this was coming...
The fact that some in the LGBTQ community would support modern conservative values is kind of mind blowing
LGBTQ conservatives, reacting to the video, said DeSantis had shown his true colors as an “anti-LGBT champion,” undermining his arguments that his support for the policies were about protecting children and parents’ rights.
You will be surprised (or not) at how many LGBTQ people are just straight up racists that love the right wing policies. They just don’t realize (or care) that they are targets by those same groups too.
Dean-Bailey, who is openly gay, said she was initially drawn to DeSantis’s candidacy by his criticism of pandemic-era lockdowns and mask mandates and his plans for the economy.
“He really set himself apart as like, this future of the Republican Party,” she said. “This is somebody who can really kind of cross the political divide and work on those issues that are important.”
