“Thanks for blazing the trail, climbing the mountain, and throwing down a ladder for me to climb, but fuck everyone else; I’m pulling the ladder up behind me.”
-Typical ‘I got mine’ mentality
Bonus: “Surely the people I’m helping to pull this ladder back up the mountain won’t push me off once it’s done.”
Holy hell. These are some epically stupid motherfuckers lol.
From the article: “Beyond ideology, the big consistency is that this is mostly a story of white gay men”
Uh, DUH!
So it’s not generically “queer” Republicans on the rise, it’s “gay white male Republicans”, then they changed the title to make it seem like it’s unexpected.
I’ve never heard of this. Are we sure this is an actual thing?
A few years back, some log cabin Republicans walked beside a sports car in the Austin Pride Parade. You could tell exactly where they were because the crowd fell silent as they passed. It was cool hearing the silence move down the street, nobody booed we just ignored them.
There have been members of the community aligned with the far right for a long time. There was even a hugh ranking gay nazi that worked for Hitler before he outlived his usefulness and IIRC ended up in a concentration camp.
It just further proves that the primary driving philosophy of conservatism is in groups and out group, one to be protected and one to be bound
and one to be bound
I didn’t realize ALL the log cabin republicans were into that.
Yes, a lot of people think that they will be considered “one of the good ones”. They can’t accept that it doesn’t matter how much they match the rest of the politics. Being a person of color, gay, etc is all anyone needs to hate you.
P.S. Adding that after the Stonewall riots and getting the NYPD to leave gays and lesbians alone, those upper middle class white gays and lesbians took theirs and ran off. The whole movement fell apart and bi, trans, and others are still suffering.
Jews for Hitler were real. Jews for Jesus are real.
I could believe anything now.
Not a big religion guy, but how the fuck is a “Jew for Jesus” different from a Christian?
They aren’t but they think they are
They’re actually Christian/followers of Jesus’ teachings.
Yes. For white gay men, but not anybody else
They’ve been around for a while
