This kind of hypocrisy makes the left look so stupid... So it appears lots of grinder users are at a majorly republican get together. So what? Isn't the left for that kind of thing? These guys are much less likely to come out and support your cause if you are degrading and shaming these folks.
We all understand the optics I think. What it looks like. Some of these Republicans are hypocrites as well. They all like dong, but dont sing the same song.
Its crazy and does homos no good by shaming these Republicans.
You don't understand that criticizing hypocrisy is not the hypocritical part?
The criticism is not that they go on grinder. It is that they go in grinder while being publicly homophobic.
You sure? Who is doing that?
Why are you talking about yourself like that? Please dont degrade yourself like that.
Ok... im done
Technocrit should be banned
The shaming is for the hypocrisy, not for being gay.
Okok, I mean you aren't wrong I guess. Im sure the DNC convention has the grinder app just as busy, right? And the left shouldn't be criticized right? Because they are the political choice of our homosexual brothers and sisters right?
What about our homosexual family on the right? Do we continue to ostracize and ridicule? Do you assume they are self-hating masochists?
I have no idea what you're trying to say.
Do you think the left is able to take the moral high ground? Basically, when was the last time the right didnt prioritize its own optics?
But these are the people trying to take away the right to be gay. You don't get to hide in the closet, have your secret gay hookups, and then turn around and say gay people don't deserve the right to marry and trans people don't deserve basic human decency and respect. No one is forcing them to be a Republican but themselves. Hell, you still be a Republican and be gay, the log cabin Republicans are a thing. But they alone are not the ones causing this spike in Grindr usage.
The idea that we should just let this kind of shit slide where it's only ok if you do it in secret is beyond idiotic. It's only bad if you are open about your homosexuality apparently.
Gay Republicans have a high degree of understanding of politics and a certain degree of sacrifice that is admirable and 110% American.
The left panders and patronizes to the gay community. If the homosexual community wants to have families and instill positive family values it is going to come from the right, not the left.
Some gay people are welcome, but some gay people are more welcome than others.
I would imagine it would be the ideal situation to talk about differences between US tribals.
But virtue signaling behind a device is much more easy.
To use an metaphore for the tribals who need it:
"Nazi Germany wouldn't have fallen if it were also not because of the many defectors, collaboraters and spies from inside Nazi Germany"
Whoooosh.
L take.
