    Archuleta himself, though, has a history of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. He previously blamed LGBTQ+ individuals for the Club Q shooting and said that queer people are “groomers” – or child sex abusers – a negative stereotype that has been used to justify hatred and discrimination.

    Shit gets shat on.

      yeah of all the things in the article, that bit was particularly unforgiveable. It’s stunning that this man expects his words to hold any weight with his own party if any of them already believe that kind of garbage.

    I work with a gay republican, somehow he doesn’t believe they are homophobic. I tried explaining that they don’t want him to be married and will take that right away (amongst other things) if given the opportunity and he just flat does not believe me.

      A little while back, I met a black guy who went to a Turning Point USA convention, and he said those people were nicer than feminists. Which of course they were. They wanted to use him as the example in sentences that start with “I have a black friend who…”

      Same thing here. They probably do turn down the homophobic rhetoric in his presence. This works if you don’t pay attention to anything else.

        Yeah that’s the thing, they’ll be really nice to your face as they take away your rights and protections. They know you’re one of the good ones. Right up until you start expecting something of them.

        The left expects things of people. We expect you not to be a racist, and so racists think we can be pretty mean. We expect you to not be a misogynist, so we wind up being mean feminist killjoys…

      I find gay republicans often dislike gay culture (which is fine, it’s not for every gay person) and struggle to understand that some people will gladly call you a friend while firmly but quietly opposing an aspect of you, and that other people can hate your guts while they stand up for your rights.

      I work with black Republicans and just watching them get bent out of shape over Biden, while completely ignoring all the wild racist shit GOP has said and done.

        Conservatism is sociopathy. The more conservative someone is, the less capable they are of experiencing shame for their behavior.

    Weird that the party that has been explicitly anti-LGBT for several decades would suddenly turn out to be anti-LGBT. I’m as shocked about this as I am that Ant Man and The Wasp had both Ant Man and The Wasp in it.

      There were a lot of high-ranking Nazi Party members, and Nazi and SS officers who were gay, too.

      Until, suddenly, there weren’t.

    He posted a three-minute video to social media calling the state GOP’s words “hateful” and arguing that they don’t represent Republican views.

    He is wrong, because whatever heinous shit the GOP says does represent Republican views.

      For a minute I was thinking it WAS an Onion story, when not, I then expected it to be ‘Not the Onion.’

      That it was neither, well does that make it eligible for ‘a boring dystopia’ ?
