For me it's watching a gay man grovel at the feet of one of the most anti-LGBT politicians, a day after Trump signed multiple executive orders that dehumanized Altman and the LGBT community. Every token thinks they're special until they're spent.

- whalesalad 2y agosama, peter thiel ... they dgaf. there is a huge difference between an oppressed gay person and a wealthy one. no one wants to bite the hand that feeds.
- ImJamal 2y agoTrump was the first president to come into office supporting gay marriage. Trump only has a problem with the "t" part of the community and only in bathrooms and sports, not in general.

Certainly there has been no shortage of gay people among his top-level appointees in either his first or second administrations.
- whalesalad 2y ago> I guarantee Trump has known and been friends with more gays than 95% of Americans. ok... ??? doesn't mean a thing, frankly.
- TMWNN 2y agoActually it does, especially in the context of the rest of what I wrote: >Certainly there has been no shortage of gay people among his top-level appointees in either his first or second administrations.
- gitaarik 2y agoWhat is he so anti about? He is against adding other official genders than the biological ones we have at birth. But he isn't against people wanting to be called whatever they want in informal situations. And he is against trans surgery at young ages when children aren't fully grown and adult enough to make such drastic interventions. But he is not against adult people wanting to be whatever they want.
