    1. Definition of Marriage and Family: We support the definition of marriage as a God-ordained, legal, and moral covenant only between one biological man and one biological woman. Further, we support a traditional definition of family with only one biological man in the role of father and one biological woman in the role of mother. We are opposed to same-sex parenting, intentionally subjecting a child to the loss of their biological father or mother, and other non-traditional definitions of family.
    2. State Authority Over Marriage: We support withholding jurisdiction from the federal courts and nullifying federal Executive Branch rules, orders, regulations, or licensing requirements in cases involving family law, and especially any changes in the definition of marriage.
    3. Nullify Unconstitutional Ruling: We believe the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, overturning the Texas law prohibiting same-sex marriage in Texas, has no basis in the Constitution and should be nullified.

    No duh every sane gay person disagrees. And I haven’t even brought up their views on trans ppl.

    You’re supporting people who hate you and want you dead.

    Getting booed off the beach should be the least of your worries.

    I have zero sympathy for people who want to be secret bigots and are exposed for it. Our country is going to become overtly fascist in November in part due to these bastards.

      While I agree with your sentiment, this isn’t an example of ‘secret’ bigots as the article outlines:

      Like a lot of gay New Yorkers, Anthony Tolve and John McGuigan spent the final Sunday in June at the city’s massive Pride parade.

      But unlike most other attendees, the two flew massive rainbow flags expressing their support for former President Donald Trump.

      Mark Dorman, a retired schoolteacher from the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, said he’s been practically blacklisted from his local gay bar, the Atlas Social Club, for his political affiliation. Dorman said he went public with his Trump love at the pub last summer, and he’s been feeling the anti-MAGA burn since.

    One of my friends is a MAGA gay. He is absolutely miserable and hates himself all just because he is gay and everyone around him except for me says its not okay. Its fucked up and I can’t seem to pull him out of that headspace.

      Why are you telling him his behavior is acceptable? That is doing him a huge disservice, especially if you are his “friend”. Call that shit out.

          Ah! I must have misunderstood their comment. It sounded like they were gay, MAGA, and people hated him for his MAGA behavior. Gay is fabulous, raging asshole is not.

    Snails for the salt party sounds like it would work out exactly how you’d expect.

    This article reminds me vibe wise a little of the whole “Trans people are responsible for the closing of gay/lesbian bars.” thing. Like I am sorry, why is it my fault that my gay friends don’t feel comfortable in the establishments where their trans partners and buddies are hassled, dissed and generally not allowed to go and just chill and just be? It’s in the favor of the bar owners to invite more people in to spend money than to play games that shut people out. It’s not like little forums online that will be there as long as somebody shows up. If brick and mortar locations don’t make enough to keep the lights on they close.

    If my buddies want me to wingman we’re going to the trans inclusive places where we all feel safe and your bar withering isn’t our problem. Good luck finding a MAGA friendly gay bar.

    Imagine being so racist that you’d rather loose all your connections to the community than at least pretend you’re not.
