Not the OP but I would assume this a reference to the fact that Grindr spikes when GOP gathers, ie GOP conference etc ergo the pleb politicians are not involved/havent been gathered to DC.
I'm not sure what value it adds though, I can't imagine Cheetolini seeking approval or briefing them before nuking Iran
Actually thats just folklore. Recently someone posted the actual stats, there is no discernible spike in app use. No server crashing under the load of all those closeted gays. Sorry to break that bubble
And there's no evidence Vance fucked a couch, but I'm still choosing to believe it
As a homosexual, please stop lumping toxic conservatives with us. We don't want them. "Hahaha that's gay" is a joke that needs to stay in the 90s.
As a member of the LGBTQ community myself, I think it's pretty funny.
And it's certainly not a "Hahaha that's gay" joke. That's missing the point
That's fine. But not everyone is okay with it. I can't stop people from making jokes, but I feel what I feel. I don't like the association that asshole conservatives can be ridiculed by saying they are closeted gays. I was in the closet for a long time and I hate that it's a joke now. Coming out was a big deal for me and joking about conservatives being in that position makes light of my struggles.
Again, laugh at what you want. I just don't have to like it.
I fully agree with you, just as a prelude, and your feelings in that matter are of course valid. I just want to add that the reason people make fun of them for being gay is not that they are supposedly gay, but the fact that they are all wildly hypocritical, sanctimonious assholes who do decidedly never practice what they preach.
It's also low-key homophobic.
It's about the hypocrisy, not haha you're gay. If it's real it should be pointed out. The left is eating itself with this take
Yeah. While I'm not going to deny the existence of log cabin Republicans, they're usually people who ain't figured out tokens get spent.
It kind of is
As a gay man, I hate when people make "conservatives are gay and closeted" jokes. My sexuality is not a prop for your rhetoric.
Bunch of straight people don't seem to like us speaking our truth.
this is misinfo
