“We’re still going to send them to camps once they have elected us, but I am grateful for their support.”
I do know some gay guys who are Trump supporters but to think gay men are a monolithic group is not surprising from this guy.
Vance thinks “normal” gay men are like him: closeted and married to women.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU VANCE
Imo, this belongs in nottheonion. How do you signify a community on Lemmy?
!nottheonion@lemmy.world I think
A lifetime of conservatives calling me the F-word when they find out, yeah, that’ll definitely do it.
I was thinking, have they met any gay men? I know a couple who voted trump in 2016, but never again will.
In the republican party a ‘normal gay guy’ happens to be a closeted homophobe who loves to hate.
Check out The Bulwark podcast. Tim Miller seems like a pretty normal gay guy, who is a republican, and hates the shit out of Trump. I honestly can’t conceive of who Vance is talking about with this.
Himself.
Anyone who still identifies as a republican is not normal, especially if they’re LGBTQ+.
“If you are a middle-class or upper-middle class white parent, and the only thing that you care about is whether your child goes into Harvard or Yale, obviously that pathway has become a lot harder for a lot of upper-middle class kids,” said Vance, who has talked about his family’s economic struggles growing up and has a degree from Yale Law School. “But the one way that those people can participate in the DEI bureaucracy in this country is to be trans, and is there a dynamic that’s going on where, if you become trans, that is the way to reject your white privilege?”
I don’t even know where to begin with this…
Sheer factual wrongness aside, most GOP rhetoric around LGBT people is based on not just a complete lack of empathy, but active avoidance of empathy. Not for one moment will they consider what gender dysphoria might feel like to an adolescent child, or how strongly wrong they would have to feel it to actually transition.
They could imagine these things easily but they work extremely hard not to.
According to JD “Couch-Fucker” Vance, I transitioned at 32 years old to… get into Harvard or Yale? Or become a DEI hire? I already have a degree and was already gainfully employed. I actually lost rights and privilege transitioning. I’m just a woman, simple as that. Maybe if he finally comes out of the furniture store and embraces his true self, he could get past this? This man is fucking dangerous and creepy as fuck.
What the fuck does it even mean? It’s like buzz word salad
I think the key is “DEI bureaucracy”. He’s trying to say they don’t let white kids into Yale unless they’re trans because being ‘just white’ isn’t enough diversity.
Your first time experiencing conservatism?
You can tell Trump has his arm so far up Vance’s ass he’s speaking for him.
No, Trump isn’t thinking about it on that level. You think Trump is concerned about kids deciding they’re Trans to get into Yale? His only concern is that when he goes to grab a pussy, he doesn’t get a handful of dick instead.
(Unless that dick is Rudy in drag, but we all know about that one…)
You’re saying Vance is a creepy ventriloquist meat puppet. You know, that does explain a lot.
Is that the “closeted gay guy who endlessly votes against his own rights because fuck em?”
I have quite a few gay friends that are about as normal as can be (ok maybe slightly nerdy) but not one of them is a Trump supporter. Anecdotal yes but it’s a pretty large sample.
The F they won’t!
source: me, a normal gay guy
I think they’re just trying to set expectations as high as possible so that if they lose, then their accusations of cheating will sound more plausible, giving them more room to actually try to cheat the election.
I’m not even gay but that man is hot.
The fuck does normal gay guy mean? And honestly, the fuck does normal mean?
To them it probably means “people who don’t let anybody else know they’re gay or publicly defend the LGBTQ community, so that we can pretend gay people are really rare and don’t exist around us”
Lindsey Graham?
Reminds me of when Colbert had NPH on the Colbert Report. They are talking about NPHs sexuality and I forget what prompted the quip but it was glorious. Something like “and that’s why you’re one of the most threatening gays because of how non threatening you are.”
That’s kinda what I think they mean by “normal” gay.
Whatever it means, Trump and Vance ain’t it.
I have never been prouder to be a not-normal guy.
Vance seems to be talking a lot about people that are gay or he thinks are gay. Humm.
🤣🤡
