He is closeted gay man his homophoiba screams it. Democrats should kick him out of office next year. We need Democrats to take a super majority in both chambers.
It’s hard to have snappy one-liners without also boiling down problems to their simplest and most generalized form. Often removing any and all context and reasoning.
Which is generally why the GOP and their attack dogs tend to use it the most. Unfortubately this often leads the people they attack to respond in kind. Hard to have a reasoned argument with someone who spits in your face as their comeback.
Except every rabidly homophobic male I ever met irl really did come out after they were involuntarily outed. Tbf I live in a deeply conflicted, fundamentalist religious area.
Really, every single one? Wow. Must be something in the water (insert gay frogs joke).
Been a minute but years ago I watched a REALLY good youtube on this phenomenon. Part of it is very much sample bias. One bigot being revealed as “closet gay” becomes all bigots.
But the reality is that: Sexuality is a spectrum. It is pretty rare for someone to be all gay or all straight or whatever. Its why there are like two men alive who wouldn’t let Ryan Reynolds stick it in them but Jon Hamm is a lot more YMMV.
And it kind of gets summed up by the hilarious SVU meme of the suspect (?) saying “I am not gay. Sometimes I have sex with women and sometimes I have sex with men” and Ice T saying “That makes you gay” as a one liner.
If you’ve grown up and had it forced into your skull that gay is evil and to think unsexy thoughts and so forth, you just say “Shit, I am gay”. Rather than, the reality, of “I am mostly heterosexual but I am a bit bicurous” or “I generally prefer other women but I am not opposed to dating a guy” and so forth.
He did adopt a 14 year old black boy when he was first married to his wife. I can’t find any information about the kid now or find any family pictures of them together. Sounds pretty sketchy to me.
So the son has been an adult for a while and allegedly has his own family, and asked not to be put in the spotlight. Which makes it confusing when he occasionally brings up his black son by name to speak to race issues, but he generally goes around saying he has 4 children instead of 5. He does generally seem to actually take a reasonable principled stance on black race issues (specifically), but I have no idea what to make of all that
He’s a weird dude all over. I wasn’t sure what to make from him, but it seemed like maybe has actual principles (not good ones, but genuinely held). Learning more about him hasn’t really improved my opinion of him…
Because liberal concern trolls don’t give 2 fucks about being hypocrites. They kept talking about how Trumps wife was a pornstar a couple years ago too, because she’s a former model that posed topless once or twice. Meanwhile they idealize and elevate actual pornstars and would scream if anyone insulted based on their profession.

Could we not use “he is secretly gay” as an insult or as a witch hunt? Like, I don’t see why that even needs to be elaborated on in the 2020s.
We can comment on hateful bigots and hypocrites without dragging down one of the demographics who are particularly under threat from said bigots.

Yeah, every single one.
Dude my buddy in college used to sport-fuck “straight” redneck boys, and I can confirm that this shit you describe literally never happens.

I actually looked it up yesterday

No, he cheated on his wife with a porn star, who then told lots of people about it.
Oh great, so now even homophobia is out fault. Thanks.
