Conservative LGBTQ+ people make the mistake of thinking their richness or whiteness outweighs their LGBTQ+-ness in the eyes of their fellow conservatives.
It does not. You are being kept around as a trophy. You are who they are referring to in "Some of my best friends are gay!"
The instant it's no longer expedient to have a gay friend nearby, you'll be dumped.
You will be surprised (or not) at how many LGBTQ people are just straight up racists that love the right wing policies. They just don’t realize (or care) that they are targets by those same groups too.
They were in the same place then as conservative LGBT+ people are now. There was no Final Solution yet. They didn't think they were those kind of Jews. And if the GOP gets their way and queer people start getting rounded up, they will realize they were those kind of queer people.
Oh that's simple. Let me help you with that. If you're LGBTQ then DeSantis wants you dead. Full stop. There are no "good ones" here, he'll gleefully order you all shot if he can.
These people are the fffn stupidest people alive. How have they been mislead?? They literally vote for a party that...used hate-based politics against LGBT+ people for decades already???
A lot of them probably did because the right openly accepted non-white and LGBTQ+ people into their ranks when they all banded together to oppose the lockdowns. They were absolutely right to do so then, but now the pendulum of oppression has swung the other way, so they'll abandon the right and go to the left until the left does something else insane.
We desperately need an independent third party in the U.S.
They absolutely did not accept non-white and LGBTQ people during COVID, the COVID era was the Trump Administration. Lockdowns were a Trump policy and it was specifically because he didn't do enough early enough to contain infections.
I think people sometimes fail to realize the only reason LGBTQ folks are assumed to be liberal/left-leaning is because that's the only side that hasn't been advocating for at least light genocide for ages. It has nothing to do with being non-straight, and everything to do with historical/cultural context. So of course there are gay fascists. You can find idiots and assholes in any group.
When will conservatives from marginalised groups realise that the moment they are no longer useful or can be used as a wedge issue they will be thrown onto the pyre to burn?
Gotta love the "Well, they wouldn't do that to me, I'm one of the good ones!" attitude these people take. Like, you weren't 'mislead' by DeathSentence, he told you exactly what he was going to do. Just because you thought you were safe because of the hat you wear doesn't mean you didn't know this was coming...
Dean-Bailey, who is openly gay, said she was initially drawn to DeSantis’s candidacy by his criticism of pandemic-era lockdowns and mask mandates and his plans for the economy.
“He really set himself apart as like, this future of the Republican Party,” she said. “This is somebody who can really kind of cross the political divide and work on those issues that are important.”
Did you not get your assignment at the Agenda Meetup & Orgy last month? Contact your nearest Gay Representative -- usually a local TV news weather person or overly flamboyant dental assistant -- and get a copy.
Those straight marriages aren't going to break themselves up.
Ah so you're falsely associating homosexuals with this vague "other stuff" that you hate. I'm not seeing any logic here, just you putting all the people you don't understand under a big blanket and calling them crazy.
I get it I guess. Probably way easier to go through life if you never put in the emotional energy to understanding humans different from you. The problem with that is, you spiral into disdain&judgement for whoever you decide is crazy today, and that feeling of bitterness poisons your psyche. Just a warning.
Ok. Sure. Let’s play it that way. Let’s assume that they’re all “mental” and “playing pretend”, simply for the sake of argument.
Please explain what possible negative impact the simple existence of non-straight people has on you. And I do mean you, specifically. Why do you care, and why do they upset you so much? How, precisely, does them existing hurt you?
This is the part where they usually scream about protecting the children, regardless of who the actual child predators are. They think if kids are perceived to be in danger, people will become emotional and more inclined to agree with their anti-lgbt+ rhetoric. Unfortunately its a tactic thats had some success.

Wealth does matter more; they just have less than the bigots.
Just another example of “pick me”.
I never expected the leopard to eat MY face
Is that community over here yet?
Be the change you want to see! Start it up!

It's wild how much this happens, isn't it?

Conservative LGBTQ+ : The wrong people are being hurt.
Everytime I hear of an LGBTQ conservative I remember the words of Treebeard.
LGBT people are people... and people are fucking shitheads. Yet another entry in the Leopard's Eating People's Faces Party...
LGBTQ conservatives continue to be the dumbest people I can imagine.
Let me introduce to the "Jews for Hitler"
They were in the same place then as conservative LGBT+ people are now. There was no Final Solution yet. They didn't think they were those kind of Jews. And if the GOP gets their way and queer people start getting rounded up, they will realize they were those kind of queer people.
The difference is that there Jews for Hitler didn't have the benefit of history being written already. So they were actually less stupid.
It’s not the only genocide in history, and it’s not the only one that had quislings either.
LGBTQ conservatives in the US are absolute morons.
Add blacks to that list... And Hispanic.... And women... Actually white people too since they are all just being used to gift money from.
But surely the Leopards Eating Faces Party would never eat MY face!

How exactly were they misled? He's been pretty upfront about being a monster.
Mariam-Webster definition of mislead:
or;
Every single modern republican has been mislead.
He wasn't hardcore anti-queer until the last few years.
He's a Republican, did they think he was their friend?

Yep. He probably couldn't care about that community until he realized that hating it got ratings up with hateful conservatives.
The whole GOP used hate-based politics for decades. Absolutely none of this is shiny and new!
Reminds me of that Trump supporter who whined that "He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

Always too late.
Attention leopards! https://www.mediaite.com/politics/george-santos-of-all-people-is-complaining-he-feels-used-and-misled-by-desantis-after-campaign-shared-anti-lgbtq-ad/
A bunch of lunatics willing to die for their cause vs a bunch of rich people. Michael Corleone was right.

"'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party."
That's what happens when you're part of a Slugs For Salt movement...
Conservative LGBTQ+ : The wrong people are being hurt.
Yeah, DeSantis really became the evil he opposed
"Child sex books"
What, in your own words, does this mean to you?
There are venoms capable of killing 20 men in a single bite. I do not think any of this belongs in schools.
there is no lgbtq agenda, but there is a desantis agenda. You can feel however you want just know that not all feelings are valid.
Did you not get your assignment at the Agenda Meetup & Orgy last month? Contact your nearest Gay Representative -- usually a local TV news weather person or overly flamboyant dental assistant -- and get a copy.

Do please explain how the gays mislead you.
If you can't outright say what part of the lgbtq offends you, and can only vaguely explain "the other stuff"
You probably know the reaction you're going to get for saying it. So stop beating around the bush.
That's not explaining at all what they're doing that's so offensive to you. What, specifically, is it that you have a problem with?
Ah so you're falsely associating homosexuals with this vague "other stuff" that you hate. I'm not seeing any logic here, just you putting all the people you don't understand under a big blanket and calling them crazy.

A lot of them genuinely do think that trans people and non-binaries are pedophiles. It's because of years of propaganda.
