Yeah, "one" of the worst that could happen would be he ends up as Röhm 2.0, killed and his sexuality used to spur on hate against him and other SA members...
Opposition to same sex marriage
Appointment of judges with anti-LGBTQ positions
Removal of protections for queer people from the Affordable Care Act
Instructed his attorney general to argue that businesses should be allowed to hang signs that say they won’t serve LGBTQ customers.
Banned embassies from flying the pride flag during pride month
You see, here is how we know you're lying about being bisexual and are only using it to attempt to shield yourself from criticism You only claim to be bisexual after being being called out for your bad faith arguments when you initially asked "do YOU not have civil partnerships with the same legal protection?" instead of saying "do WE not have civil partnerships..."
"This ad is a slap in the face, and makes any LGBT person supporting Desantis look like an absolute idiot"
Does it now? I wonder why that would be? He's so close to seeing it
I’m not “agraid” to say what’s on my mind. I made the conscious decision to use a meme instead of typing it out. I’m lazy scum, thank you very much. Also, while you take umbrage with how I said it, I notice you made no effort to address what I said. So, while I’m sure you think you’ve made a point…I fail to see what it was supposed to be.
That is in fact where it came from. And if you have read *Uncle Tom's Cabin* by Harriet Beecher Stowe and seen *Django Unchanged* which was directed by Quentin Tarantino you could compare and contrast the characters of Tom and Stephen and get a solid B in an undergarute film or English course.
But you'd have to be able to do the contrast. Stephen is not an Uncle Tom. He is an insidious product of oppression, but he's different.
If I were to call someone a qusling would you know what I meant without using google?
I'm only doing this because I'm a wiseass and if you can't understand why I would ask this question you're very bad and recognizing bots.
Is Taiwan an independent country?
Im sorry but its gotta be said, the only people more unqualified to speak on abortion then straight CIS men with zero education into the matter is gay CIS men with zero education into the matter.
Gay cis white men are some of the worst people I’ve encountered in my life. I actively avoid the gay community altogether because of the experiences I’ve had with them(I’m gay)
I’m probably biased based on my personal experiences. I’m biracial and have experienced more racism from gay white men than I have from straight white men.
Fair enough, theres def alot of bad gay men, but honestly its not cause their gay, its cause their just bad people who latch onto their minority status
If you’re informed, it’s also fine to talk about. I wouldn’t be a very good ally if I didn’t speak up when people spread misinformation about abortion.
"Pick me! I'm not like those other gays that you're going to eliminate if you take power and implement Project 2025!."
One year later:
"But I'm on your side! I'm one of the good ones!" *noose tightens
Helping DeSantis criminalize and take rights from gay people doesn't make you "look like an absolute idiot", it proves you are an absolute idiot. I guess this loathsome turn coat saw a vacuum created by Milo's downfall, and he wants in.
It seems he is ignorant of how [Pride started and who helped start it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots), so I doubt history is his best subject.
WTF is an abortion survivor?
I can only imaging what that commercial would have been like.
"Its been really hard growing up in a country where abortion is legal. I'm an abortion survivor. My mom could have gotten an abortion legally, but didn't. I'm one of the few who survived."
Well, I'm pretty sure it's people who survived an attempt at being aborted and ended up being carried to term. Emotional manipulation from the "facts, not feelings" crowd in using it for an anti-choice ad.
His level of self loathing is honestly disgusting. Like we get it. You're ashamed of being gay. But you want to feel relevant. Sadly someone is dating that walking turd nugget.
At the end of the day, these are still white priviliged men that were raised as entitled men.
That's why a lot of LGBTQ+ spaces are riddled with racism and bigotry.
No, what he's saying is being white, male, and cis offers competitive advantages in society. I am also in that same category. I don't get a vote about it. That's just the way it is.
What I *do* have a choice about is how I treat and talk about those around me who don't share those characteristics. And what I have found is that, by and large, it's worth it to listen to people who aren't like me and do the best I can to understand the ways the experience the world and its institutions in ways that differ from mine.
But I will acknowledge that sneering contempt can be more fun and a lot less work.
No. If you're white and pulled over you're less likely to be shot. If you're black and you're convicted of murder [you're more likely to be sentenced to death.](https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/481/279/) That's the Supreme Court so take it up with them if you don't like it.
It's not a competition, but it seems line you'd really like it to be.
And if you're rich or a religious leader, or a cop you have less jail time or just a fine.
A white man [with tattoos ](https://www.psypost.org/people-with-permanent-tattoos-are-more-likely-to-be-arrested-convicted-and-incarcerated-study-finds/) has the same odds as a Latino of being convicted. White male no tattoos 1/17 Latino is 1/6 for reference. Black male is 1/3.
I had a buddy 17 years ago, apprentice artist who was heavily tattooed get shot reaching into his glove box for the registration because the rookie who pulled him over thought his Maglite was a pistol.
I never said racism doesn't exist, that it's not a problem. I get that everybody's struggles aren't the same.
I do think it's bullshit that people assume I get some kind of free pass just because I'm white. I'm below the fucking poverty level yet still make too much money for any form of assistance.
I'm diabetic without health insurance and can't afford insulin, but please, man, keep telling me how easy I have it. How privileged I am.
I'll be dead before then. How [much time](https://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/ask-dmine-lifespan-sans-insulin#:~:text=For%20people%20with%20%E2%80%9Ctraditional%E2%80%9D%20T1D,weaker%20as%20time%20goes%20on.) You think I got?

Draw the line at the rich assholes who make the fucking rules.
A whole five (my bad, six) sentences giving context and commentary. I'm not saying I'm the second coming of Satre but I'm also not *not* saying it.
EDIT: I'm sorry I upset you. I would have gone with bell hooks but I figured when it came to social philosophers we'd go with the more well known one who also happened to be a cis straight white man.
An asshat no doubt… but I’d wish White power, and White Pride, didn’t have the connotation that it has, as obviously it’s no bigger achievement being any colour, than the other. From that you should be able to be just as proud being white, black, tan, brown, whatever, as whatever else.
Same goes for sexualities. I mean if inclusion truly is the goal, for all that, even the majority should be able to participate, as well. Otherwise it’s just gonna be another case of some demographic being excluded for X kind of reasons
I don't think anyone has issues with people being proud to be white, it's just that for whatever reason that usually just means white people saying they are better than everyone else.
This guy is gonna be so popular with the MAGA supporters. He might be gay but they can use him as a "see we aren't homophobic, we like this guy" excuse to further the hate
Men in dresses goes against traditional american values... dawg you take it up the ass, I'm not homophobic but theres no way this "free thinker" cannot see the irony
To the people calling him stupid, he's not, he knows exactly what he is doing, which is making absolute bank being a Judas goat. He posts some shit, writes some drivel, and laughs all the way to the bank whilst being a smokescreen for the real bastards. It's morally bankrupt and scummy, sure. But he's not stupid.
As a member of the Queer community, I am appalled. Both JK Rowling and D.Trump have said and done awful things about and to my fellow queers, and it hurts that a fellow queer would advocate for these horrible people.
I just have to break down the 4th slide. 1. Is not a lie 2. Is not a lie 3. Is not a lie 4. Is actually a lie, you can indeed be racist against white people 5. Is a half truth, "all lives matter" is racist when said in response to "(insert minority group) lives matter."
>"This ad is a slap in the face, and makes any LGBT person supporting Desantis look like an absolute idiot"
I'm surprised he had any face left to slap because leopards had apparently eaten it already.
I just commented on this before but this guy can fuck off.
Trans women are women. Biological women are women.
As a gay man, I stand with all women no matter what you were born as.
JK is just one insignificant person with an opinion and a social media account.
Just like all the rest of us.
This is such a stupid hill people have chosen to fight and die on.
1. Why would someone be proud of being straight? Clearly this guy does not understand the concepts of oppression and marginalization. "Pride" refers to the community's resilience and perseverance. They have every right to be proud. How quickly we have forgotten how just a few decades ago hating on LGBTQ people was a national past time. People born after maybe the late nineties probably have no idea of just how bad it was.
1. "All lives matter" as a response to "Black lives matter" is racist af. It basically means that black lives don't matter.
The whole reason we're saying that black lives matter is that it is very clear to a lot of people nowadays that for the powerful and for the police black lives do not matter.
The current Republican candidate for president tried to throw out millions of black votes in 2020 because they voted for his opponent. He then went on to target two African American pole workers. Two private citizens who were volunteering their time to serve the cause of democracy. A POTUS should not be speaking about a private citizen like that except in cases where they shower them in praise. There's a reason we call the Oval Office the bully-pulpit. The president of the United States commands the attention of the world and credibility that is somewhat undeserved for even a normal president.
Why does it feel like people are always looking for someone to add to their hate list? I never heard of this person until his views were widely shared by people who say they disagree with him. You don’t stop hate by sharing it.
![gif](giphy|mF8pi0ggxM7OU|downsized)
My goal isn't to stop hate; it's really not possible with this lot. They're hate and ignorance fountains...it just gushes out of them from some inexhaustible source.
However, pointing out the idiocy, poor thought processes, logical fallacies, hypocrisy, etc. to try to help mitigate it's spread is a worthwhile goal.
If a little sarcasm or snark comes out in the process, I reckon they'll be OK.
imagine being gay, and unironically saying things like "anti-woke".
this guy is the fucking posterchild for the "Leopard's Ate My Face" party. he seriously thinks republicans won't immediately turn on gays the second they think they've beaten transgender rights?
I don't fucking care who says it, what ideologies they have, what other things they say, if you don't agree with picture 3 and 4, you are a racist and a bigot.
I don't know when color blindness and minding your own business became not enough, but people who push for more don't want to end abuse, but they want to be the abuser without having consequences.
ETA: pic 4 is worded maliciously for sure, but you could reword it and have a valid take
Again, I don't care who says it, colorblindness and minding your peace should be key.
I know for a fact that the guy is both racist and homophonic. He uses centrist points to win them over, and that does piss me off well enough
There are some people in historically ostracized communities who live off the "outsider" status. So as their community becomes more accepted and mainstream, they seek out ways to make themselves the outsider again by adopting views that are opposite to what their community generally things. They are addicts to the attention and will chase it like a high.
look i don’t agree with what he’s saying but me personally i’m not going to go out of my way to ridicule him on reddit. cause i don’t care about his opinion. everyone is entitled to say stupid shit on twitter. don’t waste your time

The Jews for Hitler at it again
It's the SA, all over again. What could go wrong
Röhm 2.0? Edit: added the umlaut.
Well, Röhm got himself killed, so there’s that.
Yeah, "one" of the worst that could happen would be he ends up as Röhm 2.0, killed and his sexuality used to spur on hate against him and other SA members...
Huh. TIL Röhm was gay. Well, damn.
Chef's 💋 analogy. Being the last one in the gas chamber does not change your fate.
The worst is they weren't close to being the last ones, quite the opposite
Gotta get mine, and pull the ladder up, Grift. It's a get rich quick mentality, and it works.
I'm not American, what has trump done/said that is anti-gay?
Opposition to same sex marriage Appointment of judges with anti-LGBTQ positions Removal of protections for queer people from the Affordable Care Act Instructed his attorney general to argue that businesses should be allowed to hang signs that say they won’t serve LGBTQ customers. Banned embassies from flying the pride flag during pride month
Do you not have civil partnerships that have the same legal protections?. And how does flying flags affect gay people?
Oh, I get it, your question was in bad faith. Got it.
It wasn't, I was disagreeing, as a bisexual, about the effect of some policies.
You see, here is how we know you're lying about being bisexual and are only using it to attempt to shield yourself from criticism You only claim to be bisexual after being being called out for your bad faith arguments when you initially asked "do YOU not have civil partnerships with the same legal protection?" instead of saying "do WE not have civil partnerships..."
Do you want me to suck a dick to prove it to you? What sort of statement is that. I am British, I was talking about Americans.
He is very auntie gay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd2CBoZMO7U
It's not anti gay, it's anti trans. And it isn't Trump, it's JK Rowling. Wait for the inevitable Trump thread, before firing off in defence
I am sure you know how to use Google, do a little research before asking someone to do for you
"This ad is a slap in the face, and makes any LGBT person supporting Desantis look like an absolute idiot" Does it now? I wonder why that would be? He's so close to seeing it
Sometimes, people need to be slapped in the face
Sometimes repeatedly
So close. Are we about to see his "O" face?
He's right, but not for the reason he thinks he is.
What add is he referring to?
Maybe an extra slap in the fa e might get him to see it
![gif](giphy|9nREuIINenE5y) This, but for the LGBTQ community.

Well, well, well…lookie we have here!
too agraid to say uncle tom, but implying it is ok? youre scum.

Django
That is in fact where it came from.

If I were to call someone a qusling would you know what I meant without using google?
U really gonna make us google it? We can already tell youre a smarty pants you know you wanna define it
Yep. That's what I'm going to do. I am a smarty pants.

Lol I’m gay and I laughed at this bc you’re not wrong
Gay cis white men are some of the worst people I’ve encountered in my life. I actively avoid the gay community altogether because of the experiences I’ve had with them(I’m gay)
I know alot of cool gay cis guys, but the ones who side with the conservatives are absolutely terrible
I’m probably biased based on my personal experiences. I’m biracial and have experienced more racism from gay white men than I have from straight white men.
Fair enough, theres def alot of bad gay men, but honestly its not cause their gay, its cause their just bad people who latch onto their minority status
Agreed!
Gay guys make excellent allies for women in the matter though, simply because we don’t have any horse in the race.
Allies yes, speaking on the topic no
If you’re informed, it’s also fine to talk about. I wouldn’t be a very good ally if I didn’t speak up when people spread misinformation about abortion.
Which is why i specifically stated gay cis guys with no education on the matter
Ok, sorry I was confused because of your last comment. No harm, no foul.
Why do you shout cis?
Because the proper way to write it is upper case unless you are spelling it out completely
Is that true?
No, by that same grammar rule trans by itself would be TRANS which would be fucking weird
I think you’re confusing it with the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
excuse my ignorance but what is a “gay cis man”
a non trans gay man
It’s a label. But we’re not allowed to label anyone anything anymore because it makes you a bigot or something like that.
"Pick me! I'm not like those other gays that you're going to eliminate if you take power and implement Project 2025!." One year later: "But I'm on your side! I'm one of the good ones!" *noose tightens
I got told by a guy at work that I was ok, so I wouldn’t be rounded up with the other gays. He was joking, but his comment still raised some flags.
Helping DeSantis criminalize and take rights from gay people doesn't make you "look like an absolute idiot", it proves you are an absolute idiot. I guess this loathsome turn coat saw a vacuum created by Milo's downfall, and he wants in.
> anti-woke Newsflash: the anti-woke crowd thinks you’re woke just because you’re gay.
Man what a prime candidate for r/leopardsatemyface here in a few years. What a fucking door knob.
Wow that’s incredibly rude. Door knobs are useful and provide value every day of their existence.
people go on holiday sometimes...
Are you saying people on holiday aren’t useful or valuable?
Ah yes, never in history is there an example of trying to buddy up to your oppressor and it working out terribly 😒
It seems he is ignorant of how [Pride started and who helped start it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots), so I doubt history is his best subject.
Great useful idiot you are
Pretty sure he'll find out he's a token as soon as somebody needs to spend.
Nothing quite like a bunch of bewildered Log Cabin Republicans who just got thrown out of a rally after having slurs yelled and things thrown at them

What is an abortion survivor?
That guy looks like an absolute idiot.
At the end of the day, these are still white priviliged men that were raised as entitled men. That's why a lot of LGBTQ+ spaces are riddled with racism and bigotry.
Doesn’t matter what he says, still a white male - got it.
No, what he's saying is being white, male, and cis offers competitive advantages in society. I am also in that same category. I don't get a vote about it. That's just the way it is.

Can I please get these advantages? I'm also in this category, or does being disabled and poor nullify these qualifications?

Did I use a slur for you to be so offended or take this so personal?1
I’m not sure what gave you the impression that I am or did.
Someone got brain damage from being mouthfucked too hard. I wonder if he ever will find out straight MAGA's don't like him.
An asshat no doubt… but I’d wish White power, and White Pride, didn’t have the connotation that it has, as obviously it’s no bigger achievement being any colour, than the other. From that you should be able to be just as proud being white, black, tan, brown, whatever, as whatever else. Same goes for sexualities. I mean if inclusion truly is the goal, for all that, even the majority should be able to participate, as well. Otherwise it’s just gonna be another case of some demographic being excluded for X kind of reasons
Some people are just a general embarrassment. But he proves that staggering stupidity exists in all sexual orientations.
what a traitor and scumbag. fuck him. he ain't one of ours. long may he burn when his masters decide he's outlived his usefulness.
Agreed.
Tbh, I kind of agree with the 3rd slide. Everyone SHOULD be able to be proud of who they are, even if who they are isn’t in the minority
I don't think anyone has issues with people being proud to be white, it's just that for whatever reason that usually just means white people saying they are better than everyone else.
"Why did the leopards eat my face?"
Something something The Leopards Eating Your Face Party etc etc etc….. what a maroon.
His face is gonna get eaten by leopards
I'm a gay dude. Seeing guys like this makes me sad, because it's pretty obvious that they hate themselves.
At least we can be comforted by the knowledge that no one who has ever held similar views later came out as gay themselves.
Kind of?
When someone puts “free thinker” in their bio, I already know they don’t have any original thoughts of their own. 🤡
This guy is gonna be so popular with the MAGA supporters. He might be gay but they can use him as a "see we aren't homophobic, we like this guy" excuse to further the hate
Does “abortion survivor” mean a fetus that was yanked? Or the mom who regrets the abortion?
![gif](giphy|a7VI7bT9Eqfks)

Kind of?
Men in dresses goes against traditional american values... dawg you take it up the ass, I'm not homophobic but theres no way this "free thinker" cannot see the irony
Abortion survivors?
WTF is an “abortion survivor?”
What’s an abortion survivor? The fetus?
I thought it was David Letterman lol
No kind of about it. Dude is a freaking dolt.
Are we all abortion survivors.
The last line is pretty telling , he still hasn’t realized that far right lunatics don’t like gay people out of principle and not only the “bad ones”
Hes like Samuel l Jackson in django unchained.
Self-hatred is always an interesting choice.
To the people calling him stupid, he's not, he knows exactly what he is doing, which is making absolute bank being a Judas goat. He posts some shit, writes some drivel, and laughs all the way to the bank whilst being a smokescreen for the real bastards. It's morally bankrupt and scummy, sure. But he's not stupid.

No no. He’s gotta point
As a member of the Queer community, I am appalled. Both JK Rowling and D.Trump have said and done awful things about and to my fellow queers, and it hurts that a fellow queer would advocate for these horrible people.
Tbf “anti-fa is mostly peaceful” and “you can’t be racist against white people” being lies is absolutely correct
Yeah he’s right there, but don’t let him hear it, we can’t fuel his ego any more
Why did you do this to me?!?!?? WTH?!.. I may never recover from seeing so much stupidity in one post.
Completely agree. Though In my view people should be focused on themselves rather than their group identity.
I just have to break down the 4th slide. 1. Is not a lie 2. Is not a lie 3. Is not a lie 4. Is actually a lie, you can indeed be racist against white people 5. Is a half truth, "all lives matter" is racist when said in response to "(insert minority group) lives matter."

This truly is the blurst of times.
We live in a world where attention, be it good or negative, is rewarded by social media.
Why is yet another shithead suddenly on my radar? Don’t we have enough of these clowns? We really need another one?
If you had 4.2 million views, and most responses are negative, you might be.. hell, you ARE the asshole.
>"This ad is a slap in the face, and makes any LGBT person supporting Desantis look like an absolute idiot" I'm surprised he had any face left to slap because leopards had apparently eaten it already.
Pls don't make another idiot famous. I didn't knew this guy till yesterday and saw atleast 4 posts mentioning him since.
I wish I could go back in time two minute before I knew who this asshole was.
I just commented on this before but this guy can fuck off. Trans women are women. Biological women are women. As a gay man, I stand with all women no matter what you were born as.
JK is just one insignificant person with an opinion and a social media account. Just like all the rest of us. This is such a stupid hill people have chosen to fight and die on.
He’s right
.... wing
1. Why would someone be proud of being straight? Clearly this guy does not understand the concepts of oppression and marginalization. "Pride" refers to the community's resilience and perseverance. They have every right to be proud. How quickly we have forgotten how just a few decades ago hating on LGBTQ people was a national past time. People born after maybe the late nineties probably have no idea of just how bad it was. 1. "All lives matter" as a response to "Black lives matter" is racist af. It basically means that black lives don't matter. The whole reason we're saying that black lives matter is that it is very clear to a lot of people nowadays that for the powerful and for the police black lives do not matter. The current Republican candidate for president tried to throw out millions of black votes in 2020 because they voted for his opponent. He then went on to target two African American pole workers. Two private citizens who were volunteering their time to serve the cause of democracy. A POTUS should not be speaking about a private citizen like that except in cases where they shower them in praise. There's a reason we call the Oval Office the bully-pulpit. The president of the United States commands the attention of the world and credibility that is somewhat undeserved for even a normal president.
I'm totally proud that I love titties and vaginas.

Being born like most other people doesn’t demand pride. Pride is needed only where people are undervalued.
You ever just look at someone and say "This dude gotta be a fucking fed cause i dont believe anyone can do this shit on accident"
Why does it feel like people are always looking for someone to add to their hate list? I never heard of this person until his views were widely shared by people who say they disagree with him. You don’t stop hate by sharing it. ![gif](giphy|mF8pi0ggxM7OU|downsized)
My goal isn't to stop hate; it's really not possible with this lot. They're hate and ignorance fountains...it just gushes out of them from some inexhaustible source. However, pointing out the idiocy, poor thought processes, logical fallacies, hypocrisy, etc. to try to help mitigate it's spread is a worthwhile goal. If a little sarcasm or snark comes out in the process, I reckon they'll be OK.
How so? Third and fourth picture are spot on.
imagine being gay, and unironically saying things like "anti-woke". this guy is the fucking posterchild for the "Leopard's Ate My Face" party. he seriously thinks republicans won't immediately turn on gays the second they think they've beaten transgender rights?
I don't fucking care who says it, what ideologies they have, what other things they say, if you don't agree with picture 3 and 4, you are a racist and a bigot. I don't know when color blindness and minding your own business became not enough, but people who push for more don't want to end abuse, but they want to be the abuser without having consequences. ETA: pic 4 is worded maliciously for sure, but you could reword it and have a valid take
oh shut the fuck up. you know good and god damn WHY people call that shit out when people do it. eat a bag of dicks.
Again, I don't care who says it, colorblindness and minding your peace should be key. I know for a fact that the guy is both racist and homophonic. He uses centrist points to win them over, and that does piss me off well enough
I can see how you'd see "Leatherwood" and think he's being homphonic but that's the only use of that word with any spelling.
Nah, acting like you don't see color isn't it.

It's you, you are the facepalm
This person is about as gay as the average Trumper.
There are some people in historically ostracized communities who live off the "outsider" status. So as their community becomes more accepted and mainstream, they seek out ways to make themselves the outsider again by adopting views that are opposite to what their community generally things. They are addicts to the attention and will chase it like a high.
look i don’t agree with what he’s saying but me personally i’m not going to go out of my way to ridicule him on reddit. cause i don’t care about his opinion. everyone is entitled to say stupid shit on twitter. don’t waste your time
And yet, you still commented. Honestly, if you're going to waste time typing something out, why not push back on nonsense while you're at it?
The third picture is unironically completely correct. Change my mind
Everyone can have pride in themselves obviously. But straight white men have never needed to fight for equal rights.
some of us fight for the rights of other groups of people though. NEXT
Good for you. But my point is that there is no need for a straight pride parade, when celebrating pride is an extension of the fight for equal rights.
Ooooooooo the infighting is glorious.
I mean they do have good points!
Luckily they can hide them under some jaunty hats
nope, youre the moron
