All six of them?
Leopards, faces, etc. There are multiple instances of people cheering on their own abuse. E.g. the thousands of women who protested against women’s right to vote. Often their reasons, like those given for homophobia, revolved around “traditional family values” and “the natural order”.
Plus loyalty has not proven to be a guarantee of support from Trump or MAGA. Given how many Trump supporters are now in prison or other legal trouble, it’s odd that anyone thinks they’ll be the exception due to blind loyalty.
As a gay person, these people fill me with shame.
Welp this proves gay republicans are just as dumb as straight ones. Congrats you played yourselves.
That’s because they’re stupid, and don’t grasp that they’re on the hit list. This will become easier for them to understand when they either get swarmed by MAGA red hats, or get rounded up.
Wtf is a gay republican. It’s just as dumb as black republicans. Like what do you even stand for? Losing your rights and fighting to become a slave?
Pandering
It was a business decision, nothing more. The only motive was profit. There’s absolutely nothing to “swoon” over.
Being gay doesn’t make you … well, anything except gay. Perhaps a larger percentage of them are liberals though due to obviously selfish reasons.
Being gay and Republican makes you an idiot. Republicans fought tooth and nail to oppose gay marriage and used all sorts of awful dog whistles around the gay community - there’s still a large contingent of Republicans that are fighting against gay marriage and, of course, they openly demonize another LGBT+ group every fucking day.
I know gay Republicans exist but it’s fucking baffling.
Like the anti vaccine movement, many have forgotten the horrors of the past and feel like they can just discard the things that got us to where we are.
Just like how fascism is back. Generations die off, and (particularly if we don’t educate), people forget.
Bad times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men, etc etc etc…

Nah. The generations that live through such trauma (such as the horrors of nazi Germany just as an example) and witness it first hand are the ones who work the hardest to make sure it doesn’t happen again. But once you’re a couple generations removed from it, that memory fades, and the ones in power stop caring as much about preventing it because they just never lived it. History always “repeats itself” for a reason.
Selfish reasons like wanting to be treated like human beings politically? Get married? Adopt kids? Get wedding cakes at bakeries without being shut out? Those kind of selfish reasons?
Are they only liberal because of the issues that directly impact them?
I’m not gay.
I’m not buying wedding cakes.
I’m not adopting.
CIS WASPs already own politics.
Yet here I am, liberal.
It is possible to care about other people and their problems without those problems being yours as well.
Of course, but are they only liberal because of the issues that directly impact them?
If you don’t care for my personal anecdote, why did you ask again as if I could answer differently? Go ask them yourself.
I’m trying to get you to see that the nature of the reasons are not what the selfishness was in reference to but rather their scope of caring. A hard right republican woman can think that she deserves to have an abortion herself but if she doesn’t care if that extends to others then she is selfish. If the percentage that mellow was talking about are only liberal because the issues listed impact them then that does kinda seem selfish. It is not a commentary at all about the rightness or wrongness of those issues.
Trying to get me to see…?
Then you should she stated your case and avoided trying to be clever by asking the same question twice in some bizarre effort at a philosophical take, to what…make yourself appear smarter? To a question you’ve already answered for yourself? Ridiculous.
Gay Republicans
see: oxymoron
Nah they just have a persecution fetish. They can’t cum unless it’s illegal.
I don’t understand their use of the term “log cabin”. Is there something gay about log cabins?
It’s meant to be a call back to the days of “Lincoln Republicans” - when President Lincoln built much of his reputation on a true “rags to power” story after being born in a literal log cabin in Kentucky. Lincoln Republicans coalesced around Lincoln’s belief in true equality and freedom for all regardless of race. The LCR is an extension of that and arose during a fight against anti-LGBT laws in California in the 1970s.
However I’d argue that the rest of the GOP has fallen so far down the rabbit hole these days that the LCR’s are “in name only” supporters of gay rights and have no reason to exist as an organization.
Lincoln’s sexuality is of some debate.
Oooh. Very interesting. I’d never heard this theory before.
