Trump Pride: Gay Republicans on why they're backing the president

Do not fuck these people.

Long read but some highlights: "My first election was Clinton's second term — and I voted for him," said Rogers, a corporate lawyer in Dallas. "Since then, I've voted for Gore, George W., Obama and Romney."

On Nov. 3, he'll be pulling the lever for Donald Trump for the second time.

“I had every intention of voting for Hillary in 2016, but Comey had released his statement the day before, giving me all sorts of doubts,” Rogers, 44, said. “I wasn't thrilled with Hillary as a nominee, and I don't trust the Clintons at all, but she acted more presidential. At the last minute, I went with Trump and have had no regrets since.”

Phil Kazmierczak, a gay real estate agent in Virginia who said he's "100 percent on board" with the president, blames Democrats for fixating on identity politics. Kazmierczak called Trump a “staunch supporter of gay people and their rights,” but he said he makes a distinction when it comes to religious groups.

For Rogers, Trump’s bona fides with the community aren’t so important.

"I don't base my vote on my being gay. It's not a huge concern for me," he said. "I'm not going to be a victim or try to find the worst thing to complain about. I don't see direct anti-gay rhetoric from the president himself."

Many gay Trump supporters say they're tired of being told what political views are acceptable.

"A lot of people just don't like to be told they can only think a certain way, and that's exactly what the left does," said Bob Kabel, chair of the Log Cabin Republicans, a national gay conservative group. "You're accused of being a racist or a homophobe if you don't agree with everything they say, and a lot of people are just tired of that."

In 2018, Brandon Straka was an unknown gay hairstylist and aspiring actor. After he launched a YouTube video explaining why he had decided to #WalkAway from the Democratic Party, he quickly became a right-wing social media phenomenon, with appearances on Fox News and more than a half-million Twitter followers, including Donald Trump Jr. and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.

Asked about Trump's attitude toward the LGBTQ community, Kabel offered a series of well-rehearsed talking points: Trump is "the most gay-friendly president," same-sex marriage is settled law, Trump-nominated Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the pro-LGBTQ decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, and the administration is doing great work on HIV/AIDS.

Kabel said he wishes the Republican National Committee would have met this year to update the party's official platform, which still states at least five times that marriage should exclusively be a union of "one man and one woman." But he said he's not worried about a backslide on LGBTQ rights.

"The social conservatives understand that we've won on marriage," he said. "They've lost, we've won, and I think they really play it down now."

Trump's "offered us a real seat at the table," Kabel added, "and I think he deserves a lot of credit for doing that."

"The Log Cabin Republicans declined to endorse Trump in 2016. When the group announced its support for his second term in August 2019, it triggered a shakeup that led to the resignations of Executive Director Jerri-Ann Henry and others.

Sarah Longwell, the first female chair of the Log Cabin Republicans' national board, also left the group after the endorsement. She helped launch the groups Republican Voters Against Trump and Defending Democracy Together.

Longwell insisted that she still holds traditional Republican beliefs, including "restraint from the executive branch … fiscal responsibility and American leadership in the world where we treat our allies with respect."

The problem with Trump isn't a gay issue, she said; rather, it's an American issue.

“I think Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy and the country, because [he thinks] the rules don’t apply to him,” said Longwell, 40. “He thinks he’s above the law.”

She blames the president for disregarding the Constitution, cozying up to dictators and putting his own interests first, and said she is frustrated that the GOP has stood by him.

"Republicans should be a party that cares about principles and ideas, not its loyalty to one man," she said."

One thing stopped me from voting Trump in 2016: he is crazy. He was clearly crazy and you don’t put crazy in the Whitehouse.

Here is the irony of "Identity Politics" - its precisely what Trump used to get the support he has. He specifically isolated groups of people, demonized and vilified them specifically based on their "identity." He wouldn't have won the GOP nomination if not for his bigotry and racism based on attacking people for their: I d e n t i t y

He knows zero about the constitution or laws or governing (so let's stop pretending that's the reason predominantly white trash gravitated to him), but he knows how to tweet if a brown guy so much as belches in Europe. Yet nothing to say about a white who commits a mass shooting right here at home.

by Anonymousreply 43October 15, 2020 6:55 PM

who is "they" r43. Democrats tend to be in a coalition party. Gays and yes, transgender, are part of it. Blacks are part of it. Women, or more specifically feminists, are part of it. Many of us do care about each other's issues. Some of us just see the utility of working together for everybody's issues. And sure, there are definitely fights and squabbles within. Plus there is a feeling that the whole economy has gotten way too top heavy and seems to work only for the rich, really.

The Republicans have a different mindset altogether, especially lately. The mindset, is everything is fine as long as straight white men, and especially wealthy straight white men are fine. Everyone else is a bit of an annoyance. Some hate minorities, some are simply indifferent, but as a party there is always a reluctance to actually do anything about any minority group's issues unless you absolutely have to, generally by court order. For gays in particular, Christian Evangelical grievances, like say the existence of gay people, far outweighs any consideration of actual gay grievances.

Those seem like fantasies r45. Planned Parenthood actually prevents abortions by providing birth control. The Pro-Life Movement, which is really the Christian Fanatic movement, hates both, so they miss the point, but practically speaking, the less birth control the more abortion.

An executive order to save infants born alive after an abortion is just a publicity stunt pretending to solve something that either doesn't happen at all or only happens in rare and tragic circumstances that will never be "solved" by simply ordering that those circumstances cease.

R51 being anti-globalist doesn’t mean not being connected! Legal controlled immigration exists which no one is opposed to. The opposition is to open borders and jobs being taken to foreign countries. If you think your values and way of life are under threat now with Trump which is rubbish really, just wait until you have open borders...the anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe is very strong and is the result of integration problems. Controlled immigration is about having outsiders come in and accept the way of life they find and integrate to it. Cultural differences are real and there has to be a way to manage them where immigration is concerned.

There is good reason to look at limits to free trade, and intelligent, rational people are needed to do that.

Same with immigration, except there even the rational Republicans are stymied by the baboons in their base who only want to hear that Mexicans are evil and everyone who isn't white should get out of the country. Again, Trump has no actual plan for immigration, just a lot of noise and acts of cruelty and stupidity, and once again, the usual flailing around and descent into self pity when screaming at the problem doesn't work.

complete opposite r79. Hillary's lies are the normal, mainstream exaggerations and spin and shading that politicians have done forever.

Trump's lies are completely divorced from reality. Fantasies about how awesome he is, what great shape he is in, how rich he is, how he is totally self financing and not in debt to anyone, how he had no business dealings in Russia or anywhere else that would affect his outlook on anything, how serious Covid is or isn't. There is just never any connection between what Trump is saying and what Trump is thinking or what he actually knows or has heard or anything else.

it is all fantasy and self-promotion to the point of idiocy, and sometimes actually dangerous, as during a pandemic. There is nothing Trump can ever be believed about, nothing ever. You always have to assume he's lying for some self-interested reason. That is far, far beyond the spin that every President has engaged in.

R79, that's some bullshit right there. No wrongdoing was found in the Clinton foundation but Trump and his kids used their charity to steal money from children with cancer.

Yeah, that must be it. Prevent a completely incompetent oaf and buffoon and sociopath from being president because we hate the country.

Seems the opposite might be true. Why would anyone want to inflict this oafish, buffoonish sociopath on a country?

The guy quoted by Op, apparently a corporate lawyer, should know that the Trump Administration has presented amicus briefs to SCOTUS to allow discrimination against gays in the workplace (thankfully Trump lost), to allow tax funded religious adoption agencies to deny adoptions to gays (SCOTUS case pending), and allow the denying of market services to gays if the owners of companies so desire (SCOTUS punted).

Trump publicly said prior to the election that he was against gay marriage and would seat SCOTUS justices to overturn it.

It's some willful ignorance to pretend all that didn't exist and say that Trump is somehow pro-gay.

Well in fairness Trump isn't pro anything except pro-Trump. I don't think he particularly hates us. He is just completely indifferent to us and our lives and our rights as he is completely indifferent to almost everyone else's (although he does really hate Puerto Ricans, blacks, and Mexicans, and any hot woman who isn't dying to fuck him -- so all of them).

[quote] Trump’s lies are similar to the lies of a sales person, it’s embellished truth mixed with ego. Everyone can see through it and accept the level of lies they’re comfortable with.

He's the president of the US. That level of narcissistic lying is unacceptable in that role.

And where exactly would "It's a hoax. Covid will just disappear" fit in your apologist thinking?

Trump lies about everything...it's not a salesman embellishment fib. His lies are malicious and do real harm. He cons people out of money, he lies to the IRS to rip off the country, he tells people to, "get out there and don't be afraid" of covid and lies about the real risk of dying and suffering that can happen. He cheats on his wives (all three of them), he walks out on tough questions. He lied and said he had REAL evidence Obama wasn't from the US. The few things that have actually gone right (very few, by the way) he had nothing to do with. He let the RNC and Moscow Mitch chart the plan of action.

100M people DID NOT vote for Trump. If you are a TRUMP supporter, you are repugnant. If you're a Republican against Trump, you are not repugnant. I may disagree with you, but at least you have enough sense to know a steaming pile of shit when you see it.

Repugnant, immoral, odious, garbage, racist, bigot, low-life - take your pick, but to a normal person, you embody all of those things if you support Trump.

My former friend always voted Republican even though he is gay. I once asked him, around 1992 or so when they were doing that "culture war" and "family values" stuff, why he voted for them. His answer: "I'm just in it for the money." He wanted tax cuts, and nothing else mattered to him.
