    I hate trumpers and all, but this is gonna lead to suicides and is essentially just outing gay people to cause them harm, even bodily harm. I was raised to think that was wrong, but I guess if it’s done by you it’s ok?

      Ah yes, but republican gay people. So only gay people who support things like Project 2025, which basically wants to eradicate the entire concept of homosexuality.

      As far as I understood it at least

        The Post said “conservative” which is a bit broad. There are lots of conservative straight men and women who aren’t homophobic or against LGBTQ people. Republican is less broad. Far right now specific and so on.

          Well, I agree it is broad, yeah.

          But, like… we’ll see if there’s gonna be any republicans trying to distance themselves from Trump. There were lots who endorsed Harris and who refused to endorse Trump, but not endorsing Trump just isn’t enough with this level of threat to democracy, imo.

            I’m personally a fan of the MLK Jr quote, along the same lines:

            In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.

              Oh fuck that’s true enough. Personally to me that is.

      Sucks that being anything other than straight is a health risk for large segments of the population.

      That being said, enabling or fostering that same risk isn’t in their best interest. If they’re unable to be the change they want to see in the world, then who do they expect to stand up for them?
