Carl Nassib is a Registered Republican

I was a registered Republican when I came out at 21, OP.

It took the coming out process - and subsequent exposure to the realities of American politics - for me to switch parties. How about we treat this guy with even a tiny shred of grace and see how his life evolves as an openly gay man?

And if he remains a Republican, that's his choice. There are gay Republicans, after all, and if they're out and proud, they also contribute to the cause of visibility and diversity in the gay community.

So in other words, shut the fuck up.

[quote]they also contribute to the cause of visibility and diversity in the gay community.

Visibility of self-hatred and anti-gay rights.

Not all Republicans are Trumpists OP

YES, they are.

They ALL vote together, just like Kinzinger.

Per the other thread - how did that guy lookup Carl’s NV registration without his SSN or driver’s license? Is that true? Can you look it up without those?

Maybe he needs a guide like Colton, so he can be indoctrinated into all the superficial woke groupthink we take for granted…

R5 is TheMinorityGay on Twitter.

That pic isn't you, BTW.

Stalkerish behavior.

Carl Nassib demonstrates MAGA behavior.

A lot of people vote like their parents until they learn differently. Let's hope his eyes will be opened.

The Republican party of 2021 is nothing like the Republican party of ten years ago. A majority of Republicans now approve of same-sex marriage. Far more Republican families, like Carl Nassib's, know they have a family member who is gay and are turning away from the anti-gay positions and rhetoric. And for those who haven't altered their opinions, maybe Nassib will begin a process for them to do so.

Wait. I’m confused. Are you - r7 - saying I’M the MinorityGay Twitter guy? I thought that was the guy saying he found the registration in NV. I thought I read that in the other thread. Need more coffee I guess.

I’m not that guy btw. And agree that’s not his pic…🤣

R11 At least the insurrectionists are less homophobic. I can sleep better at night knowing that! LOL

I'm going to be generous and just assume you were in a coma for the past five years.

R11 is a Log Cabin Republican, aka, self-hater.

No, r14, it's precisely because I've been paying attention the past 5 years that I can confidently state that the Republicans after Trump are nothing like the Republicans before Trump. He was a big fuck you to the Republican elite that has permanently altered the party. The future of the Republican party is no longer Mike Pence but Ron DeSantis. Unless the Democrats realize this and act accordingly, they will lose big-time in 2022 and '24 fighting an enemy that is already on life support.

I know 2021 Repigs ain't like Mama's Repigs, but can you bitches let us have 24-48 hours before you break out the fucking purity tests?

Tens of thousands of non-Trumpist Republicans have left the party in the past six months.

Many more are just too lazy to do so or hope the party will revert to the way it once was back in the 90s.

[quote]I'm going to be generous and just assume you were in a coma for the past five years.

I'm going to be less generous and assume r11's coma continues to this very second.

My ex was a registered Republican because he felt it gave him cover….don’t ask why….i couldn’t figure out the logic on that either..but nevertheless that’s what he thought……..so be it……

So much hate from so called liberals on this thread. Amazing.

And there goes the Trumper at R21...

Be nice r22! People like r21 need to post on this site otherwise they couldn’t be victims and their lives would have no value left.

And there goes the pro BLM, anti-Semite, homophobe at R22.

This is R15's idea of being "pro gay".

This is the problem with you Repubqunts, you think it's true if YOU feel like it is. YOUR beliefs don't matter, it's the actions of your congresscreatures. And they all support Trump.

From Wiki: In 2020, the Republican Party decided not to write a platform for that presidential election cycle,[113] instead simply expressing its support for Donald Trump's agenda[114] and criticizing "the media" for biased reporting.[115] This was cited by critics as an example of how the Republican Party "became a cult of personality".[116][117]

Any decent person would leave the party and be an Independent at least.

r21- All snowflakes are white.

I always felt gay Republicans were a strange bunch, but in recent years based on what the Republican Party has become a gay person has to have a serious defect to still remain one.

In 2016 Log Cabin Republicans proclaimed:

Log Cabin Republicans: GOP Platform the 'Most Anti-LGBT' in Party's History

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Of course.

President Trump misses Pride Month for third time He did not, however, skip proclaiming June “National Homeownership Month” and “Great Outdoors Month.”

I read the posts on DL. Let's be honest, many of you come from questionable origins and from red states and the only reason you're not republican is because they don't want you. If they dropped the anti-gay parts of their platform, there would be a mass exodus of white gay men from the democratic party to the republican party and you all know it. At least some of you have stopped pretending otherwise.

This is what I wrote in the other thread about Carl.

He could very well be a Trumper but that's not going to stop me from saying that tweet is likely fake. Why would the first column in a supposed official list of voters be for first names? The name column would have the last name in the first column, not the first.

Threads like this are catnip to gay republicans who use them to whine about democrats not accepting them when all they do is vote for politicians who try to deny us our rights.

Political bigotry is still bigotry, folks.

[quote] Right, [R28], the Dems are much more welcoming to gay men.

School board elections are non partisan races.

A school board is not a party platform. It’s not the Democratic Party’s policy agenda. Neither is Joy Reid, nor any other individual that you may cherry pick. We’re talking about historically anti gay policies supported by Republicans. Many may claim to support gay rights or be indifferent. However, they continue to support their parties antigay policies.

R29 is right. Dems will throw gays under the bus at the drop of a hat in favor of BLM or the PLO.

[quote] Dems will throw gays under the bus at the drop of a hat in favor of BLM or the PLO.

Sure. So I should join up with the Republicans, right?

[quote] Political bigotry is still bigotry, folks.

You’re labeling the denouncement of the anti gay Republican policy agenda and the Republicans who support it as “political bigotry” and attempting to make everyone else the problem. Typical right wing bullshit. We have a right to oppress you. If you challenge us; you’re the bigot. Who doesn’t see through that?

[quote] [R29] is right. Dems will throw gays under the bus at the drop of a hat in favor of BLM or the PLO.

BLM was founded by members of the LGBTQ community. The organization is very pro gay rights. And your PLO comment is just ridiculous.

Many of you seem to be forgetting the massive shift the GOP is undergoing and the previous existence of the "Rockefeller wing" of socially liberal, fiscally conservative Republicans who mostly represented states in the Northeast.

Granted, their heyday seems to have been the 1970s, but the full shift to being the party of bigoted working-class whites has really only gone into overdrive since Trump, as witnessed by how the upscale suburbs have almost all turned blue--not just in presidential elections, but in who runs the various towns and counties.

Link to a great piece in Politico on how that shift is playing out in Oakland County, Michigan.

"My ex was a registered Republican because he felt iet gave him cover….don’t ask why….i couldn’t figure out the logic on that either..but nevertheless that’s what he thought……..so be it…"

A couple I know moved from NYC to TX. when folks in their church found out they were registered Dems, they asked "is your son gay"?

A lot of gays will be voting Republican in 2024. The left is off the rails. It has become overly devoted to over correcting wrongs done to —well, no one born in this century— and is allowing diversity to trump unity. Fake news racism has been replaced with real racism toward white people.

There is no good reason to vote Republican. Gay, straight, black, white, male, female. Whoever you are, voting Republican is an error in judgement. There is no actual real world problem that any Republican is interested in solving. All are simply whores for the rich and nothing else. Everything else is just whipping up hysteria to ensure that they can keep loyally serving the rich while getting morons to vote for them.

That said, Carl Nassib did a brave thing, and a good thing, in coming out. He's making a difference in a way that matters more than his silly politics, which hopefully he'll get over.

[quote] A lot of gays will be voting Republican in 2024.

You posted the same thing a year ago. You were wrong then, and you are wrong now.

[quote] The organization is very pro gay rights.

BLM?!? That was meant as a joke, right, R40?

[quote] BLM?!? That was meant as a joke, right, [R40]?

From the start, Black Lives Matter has been about LGBTQ lives Two of three Black Lives Matter founders identify as queer.

To which wrongs and specifically which Democratic policies are you referring?

[quote] identify as queer

So, not pro-gay.

YourMillennialCunt is the Republican defender in here claiming they are all good guys now.

Why doesn't he sign his posts anymore?

All Black Lives Matter march calls for LGBTQ rights and racial justice

Give the kid a break, for now.

Don't look to athletes for political opinions, especially the ones that make living banging their heads together.

We forget that many people, even smart ones, don't really pay attention to what's going on. For them being Republican is an identity like "Cubs Fans", and they don't think about it much. Basically there are 3 types of Reps; ignorant, greedy, racist. He's ignorant, I hope.

Feel the Christian love, r21?

Sick Deplorable Apologist at R52.

"They don't know what they're doing!"

You vote for the party who meets your needs…….if Democrats tried to disenfranchise me by restricting my voting rights or overturning Gay marriage or eliminating workplace protections…..I wouldn’t vote Democratic….don’t vote for a party who is working against you …go by what they do…not what they say…..works for me

I hope you're wrong r50. I rather liked YMF, even though I disagreed with him on things. I hope he's not some Trumpista these days.

[quote] Give the kid a break, for now.

“Kid”

He’s a 28 yr old man. Because he’s a white male. He’s referred to as a golly gee simple minded “kid” who just doesn’t know any better and somehow deserves a “break.” A break that none of you would ever extend to anyone who was not a white male. You demonize black people and constantly complain about “black homophobia.” Then you give a pass to the homophobia and the white males who actually impact your lives. And mind you in the first thread; you were commenting on how smart he is.

Are people hoping to destroy this guy? They did with poor Michael Sam.

Use Ignore-dar, R55.

That is absolutely YourMillennialCunt that you worship.

"Give the kid a break."

And he's 28?

In 1984, I was 19 and did not vote for anti-gay Reagan while living in the middle of Texas.

In 1988, I was 23 and did not vote for war-mongering GHWB.

In 1992, I was 27 and proudly voted for Bill Clinton over evil war-mongering GHWB.

But I guess Carl needs a break since he's only 28 and confused or something.

DLers sniffing YMF's crack has always baffled me. He doesn't like gay men. How much more proof do you need?

I guess everyone's coming-out process is different, r59. I'm surprised you didn't realize that at your age.

R3, in essence true but looking at how the party has behaved the past four years, the years this football link would have viewed, the GOP has only been the party of trump

McCarthyism.

[quote]Yes

Then maybe gays should reconsider coming out because the online world…the gay online world… seems to be out for blood. It’s sad but maybe reconsider.

R60: It was always obvious that he was a straight man between the ages of 45-50, so not gay and not millennial. He also claimed to live in Manhattan but anyone could see he meant Manhattan, KS, not the real thing. Probably one of the most elaborate trolls on here but the bitch couldn't help himself with his idiocy.

R49: It shouldn't surprise me at this point, but it continually does how one man's coming out is immediately used to promote bigotry by sub-human trash such as yourself.

Really R37 ? Because black people think it’s the other way around. Everything eventually revolves back to Trans in terms of activism and we’re caught in the middle because LGB are tied to trans unfortunately.

R6: Yeah, fuck that woke shit that treats gays like human beings. Beat them, rape them, kill those fags!! At least I'm not "woke" and doing "groupthink". You pathetic troll.

R42: In Texas you don’t register a party affiliation. You can vote in whatever part’s primary election you want. Of course, you can only vote in that same party’s primary runoff. And equally obvious, you can vote for whomever you want in the general election. I have always voted democratic in general elections. But I frequently vote in the Republican primary to try to keep the more rabid assholes from being nominated (e.g. Ken Paxton, Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick).

So he's a top?

A most useful thread for troll blocking.

The republican party has been repugnant since the civil rights movement which they did not support. It got worse as they continue to suck up to racist evangelicals. It got worse when they were sucking up to the gun lobby. They got worse when they denied gay rights. The republican party has been creating Trumpism since at least Reagan.

As long as the Republican hierarchy can convince their flock that they stand for less government and fiscal responsibility which is bullshit, the GOP will never die.

Now that he’s out he’ll stop being a Republican. It was likely something he needed to be to survive the closet.

Simple OP, I can be happy because it annoy and piss off his fellow Republicans.

To the idiots defending him, there are photos of him hugging friends with Dump shirts on and there are also screenshots of him “liking” Dump stuff on social media.

He’s a piece of shit.

[quote]Now that he’s out he’ll stop being a Republican. It was likely something he needed to be to survive the closet.

Says who?!

Not the hero and representative we were looking for. The search continues.

[quote]He’s a piece of shit.

People said the same thing about Michael Sam and he wasn’t Republican. I’m second thoughts about people in the media coming out—people online are terrible. Gay people online. Stay in the closet. Don’t bother. Just donate to gay charities or something.

*having

R78 Nobody said that, dummy. They said MS was over the top with his PDA. Stop trying to change the subject. Carl is a MAGA self-hating piece of shit.

Oh fuck off. Damn you’re a sociopath^

Who the fuck is Carl Nassib and why should we care?

He's the first actual current NFL player to come out r82. It's something. It may not be everything. His politics may be stupid. But it is something. It's a good thing actually.

I will say the stench of puritanism is wafting over this thread. The idea that only the truly and completely good and pure can do anything heroic reeks of puritan bullshit.

Even if you don't buy the Nevada registration from 2020, you can't doubt the Florida registration from 2019. You just need a name and birthdate to access the records. (See attached)

Trump had been in office for over 2 years by that point and DeSantis had been elected Governor the year before. So, regardless of what the Republican apologists claim, Nassib wasn't registering as a member of some Grand Old Party. He was registering as a member of the present day Trump-worshiping, white supremacist MAGA party.

I am struggling to care about a current NFL player coming out of the closet.

Got no energy left to care that he is a MAGA piece of shit.

i knew this will happen.

People talking for years about no player having the guts to come out.

One player has the guts to come out and inmediately half of the community feel the need to trash him for something that maybe it's not even true.

Fantastic, i'm pretty sure gay athletes taking note and give the community exactly what they deserve, absolutely nothing

There is only one anti - Democratic party and that's the GQP

R20: was your ex an architect?

"One player has the guts to come out and inmediately half of the community feel the need to trash him for something that maybe it's not even true."

If you can't take the heat, get the fuck out of the god damned kitchen.

More receipts.

[quote] Even if you don't buy the Nevada registration from 2020, you can't doubt the Florida registration from 2019.

Also, Florida doesn't require you to declare a party affiliation. So if he was a disgruntled Republican or "never Trumper," he could have registered as independent. But he didn't. He chose in 2019 to identify with the Republican Party.

[quote] It took the coming out process - and subsequent exposure to the realities of American politics - for me to switch parties.

That was then. It's a different world today. For 4 years, Trump and his GOP ass-kissers were everywhere -- on social media, on the TV news. EVERYTHING was about Trump. Everything was about politics. It was inescapable. Anyone who didn't have a pretty good idea what Trump and the GOP were all about by 2019 had to be living under a rock. Anyone in their mid 20s registering as a Republican in 2019 knew exactly what they were doing.

I'm not saying we should crucify him. It's still great that he came out and is donating money to the Trevor Project. And maybe his political views are changing or will change. But I have to laugh at all of the rationalizing by DataLoungers who, just because they think he's hot, claim that "Just because he's a registered Republican doesn't mean he's actually a Republican."

R56 how is an Arab a “white male” exactly?

Don't forget that all of the Colin Kaepernick kneeling controversy happened WHILE Trump was in office AND while CN was in the NFL.

He's not some newbie who's never been around. He was in the NFL when the Trumpers were making the kneeling thing a Right Wing talking point.

The Apologists here are sickening.

Ok. I accept that he’s a Trumper now. Too bad - I was happy that an attractive and successful jock didn’t want to stay in the closet.

I get that very wealthy people vote in their own interests-financially speaking. I can’t accept that anyone in their right mind would vote for the 🍊man. I find him too repugnant to justify anyone supporting him. Oh well.

there are three reasons to be a rethug: greed, bigotry and stupidity maybe he's only two of three

He's MAGA Republican - the worst kind.

There's definitely something like greed at play. He's giving seminars to other professional players on how to "maximize their money." How to invest and "double it" (there was some controversy in him saying they could get 10 percent returns.) I'm not saying they shouldn't be responsible with their money, but trying to wring out every last penny in our capitalistic society when they already make more money than just about everyone ever will, is a very bad look.

$$ = MAGAt.

[quote] In 2016 Log Cabin Republicans proclaimed: GOP Platform the 'Most Anti-LGBT' in Party's History

In 2020, the Log Cabins endorsed Trump. The GOP Platform did not change one iota

Oh fuck off, OP.

You're a bitter old cunt who has to find a reason to tear everyone down.

[quote] One player has the guts to come out and inmediately half of the community feel the need to trash him for something that maybe it's not even true.

He's a registered Republican and hangs around with MAGA types. Those we KNOW are true.

$$ = MAGAt.

sometimes, but ......

I'm sure he eats at Chik-Fil-A

So? How is this news?

Is Nassib a Middle Eastern name? What's his ethnicity? Will his family conduct an honor killing?

If he registered as Republican in 2019, he DEFINITELY voted for Trump

lebanese christian, try to keep up , rose

R108 that’s not 100% true

R110--it's at least 95% true. By 2019, the GOP was completely Trump's party.

I wish I could see how many individual posters there are in each thread - I find it hard to believe that there are so many insane people on this website. This has got to be just a few crazies talking to each other/themselves, right?

Is that so wrong?

gay men are the weakest link, if a guys hawt all is forgiven.

Does it really matter if the cock deeply inside of you is attached to a registered Republican or Democrat?

Yup, R114. We have DLers who call Aaron Schock 'an inspiration'.

R116 = idiot who takes the response at R113 as Gospel.

So all those so outraged, should he have stayed in the closet?

Hell, yes.

He's encouraging young gays to come out as MAGAts.

Wow R119. Just wow.

What does that mean, Log Cabin Trumper at R120?

First off, stop liking your own posts R121.

I’m not explaining why R119 is an idiot. R119 is probably your post too, but I don’t care enough to check.

Frau at R121, if Matthew Shepard had been a Young Republican would you say he deserved to die?

God, I fucking hate stupid people like you.

I wouldn't have cared if he died as a MAGAt, since supporting MAGAts is what gets real gay people killed.

But you knew that, "Live Laugh Love" Frau at R123.

The Trumper thing is a complete turn off. Nothing uglier than a Trumper.

Yes, he’s suddenly so ugly to me.

I know he’s been bashed in the head a few times but that’s no excuse to be a Gay Trumpite.

He disgusts me now

Has he replaced Adam K as the official DL Republican boyfriend. Total dick wilter..

I don’t ask to see a guy's voter registration card before I take him to bed.

R128, I’m sure he’s busy starting conversion therapy

R5

Yes, voter registration websites offer a shocking amount of personal data. Thanks government!

R1

Oh no! He didn't get the memo that we must all conform. Diversity everywhere... except in thought.

On the other hand, you have a new reason to be outraged and upset so good news for you!

There are parts of the country where the R nomination is tantamount to election.

Funny how so many DLers are jumping through hoops—“Just because he registered Republican doesn’t mean he voted for Trump!” “Just because his friends are Magats doesn’t mean he is!” “Some just vote for whomever their parents tell them too!”

R131, I don’t like and approve of him just as I don’t Caitlyn.

Both a Republican pieces of shit, although that’s redundant

R134 So boring. You are so predictable and boring.

All men named Carl or Karl are Republican. It's a hillbilly name, like Doyle or Otis.

R135, yes the truth sure sucks

It’s not the Republican thing. It’s the Trumper thing although today you could argue those are synonymous.

[Quote] Oh no! He didn't get the memo that we must all conform. Diversity everywhere... except in thought.

Hmmm, so “Gays should be blocked from equal rights” is just diversity of thought.

How quaint

R123 he was actually killed by Republicans

We can forgive him because he's hot, like Kinzinger.

Besides, half of the gays on here are probably closeted Repugs.

He's 28. He should know better. Fuck him.

R141, I don’t forgive Kinzinger. He’s vocally against gay marriage. Even now

He's a Republican MAGA idiot at 28 and is not even attractive. Why are people on DL supporting him again?!

R144 Initially we thought it was a nice coming out story but upon further inspection, many of us are over him. The rest are just desperate to be validated by his masc-ness.

R145, agreed. And honestly--if this was a black guy, I can only imagine the kind of things DL would say about him.

[Quote] Oh no! He didn't get the memo that we must all conform. Diversity everywhere... except in thought.

Like Nazis, who just had diversity of thought…

[Quote] And honestly--if this was a black guy, I can only imagine the kind of things DL would say about him.

I’d be the first to shit on a Black Republican

Of course he’s a MAGAt piece of shit. In a way, only someone who’s convinced he’s an acceptable gay would feel compelled to come out. He probably insists just because he’s gay doesn’t mean he’s a fag.

So, OP, are you going to take the bridge?

We'd all be better off if you did.

[quote] All men named Carl or Karl are Republican. It's a hillbilly name, like Doyle or Otis.

Yes, just ask Carl Sagan or Karl Lagerfeld. YUUUUUGE Bible-thumping Trumpers they.

Idiot.

Actually, Karl Lagerfeld held rightwing views even if he wasn’t particularly political.

[quote] I’d be the first to shit on a Black Republican

You bitches are ridiculous. Besides, I know R148 would much rather have a Black Republican shit on him, literally.

The comments on his Instagram, show just how much his fellow Republicans love and respect him.

After college, I lived in DC for a few years. The first thing I learned was that a lot of the republican congressional staffers are gay gay gay. It's like the choir director at a black church. Everyone knows, but no one discusses it. And then one day the queeniest queen who ever queened shows up with a girlfriend/fiancé and no one bats an eyelash and no one talks about the big gaping hole in the middle of the room. It's a weird world and that is why I am not shocked that people like Carl Nassib and Colton Underwood are republicans. That party is filled up with them, but very few of them actually come out. Here a little tip, the best place to get dick in DC is not Grindr but the Republican Congressional Staffer Listserv.

MAGAT usually = NO $ gullible trash pawn who thinks they can get rich whenever they feel like it.

If he is a Republican Trumpster, he's currently getting no love on conservative discussion sites. They know nothing about his alleged voting record, so now the most charitable thing they say is that he should shut up and keep his sex life to himself.

Others discuss where he'll spend eternity, typically like this-

[quote] Carl, have a good life because your death won't be so great.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the Republican voting record information if true, but that info will have to be published in some news article for them to absorb it. Random twitter posts and pictures about his possible MAGA tendencies are not enough.

So: currently hated by the right, and kind of hated by the left. You're welcome, Carl.

I want him to speak publicly about his voting record and whether or not he will still be voting Republican.

Who cares! Why are Dems so hateful?

[quote] I want him to speak publicly about his voting record and whether or not he will still be voting Republican

Damn straight. Then he needs to drop trou and confirm if he is cut and if his hole is rosy. I’m tired of the speculation!!

So the Republican attitude is 'ho-hum,' and the Democratic response is 'burn the fucking Trumpster!' ;

A homosexual Republican is like a homosexual Catholic or Mormon. Pure self-hate.

The Republics attitude is not ho-hum, at least on the conservative sites I've read. It's more "shut the fuck up you perverted homo" or "when will someone congratulate me about my straight-ness?"

r144 We get it dude, you hate him now go to reddit or twitter and post about it. 🙄

[quote]He came out as GAY, not any other letter,

OP - what does that mean exactly? Not any other letter?

Ever since I found out he was a Trumper, I’ve stopped giving a shit about him and his coming out.

The $100k he gave to the Trevor Project was pure PR

The 17th letter of the alphabet, I'm guessing.

I'm OK with this. My parents and brother vote right-wing and I still get on with them. I can forge a relationship with people who have bad politics and if they wish me well. And the very fact that Nassib came out -- and came out doing what he does, with the country's eyes on him -- proves that he's committed to the good of the gay community. But most gays most likely are not going to have the maturity to keep supporting him.

Where is the evidence that Nassib is a Trumper R166? Any links to support the allegations?

The Republican Party does not approve of Gay marriage, gay adoption or protection in the workplace for LGBTQIA folks. Consistently voted against hate crime bills. IT is ON the GOP platform to overturn Gay Marriage and support Religious freedom (aka the right to discriminate). If you are republican and you vote republican - you support this. So fuck off.

[Quote] And the very fact that Nassib came out -- and came out doing what he does, with the country's eyes on him -- proves that he's committed to the good of the gay community.

No it doesn’t. Caitlyn Jenner came out as trans and has only fought against gay rights

Where’s the proof, OP?

R169, when someone registers as a Republican in 2019 and hangs out with Magats, one can assume he’s a Trumper

Yes we know R170 but where is the evidence of Nassib being a Trump supporter? I can't find any on Google...

This guy hasn’t been out 24 hours and people are already digging though his social media and public records looking for something to ruin him with. This whole next generation is fucked.

r175 And it's the gays doing it. Gay men love to ruin one another in order to be thought of as good gays by the hets. No doubt that's what motivated the shirtless hooker in the OP into his crusade.

Assume R173???

No. Not good enough. Where is the PROOF?

[quote] We get it dude, you hate him now go to reddit or twitter and post about it. 🙄

I get it, you're a dimwit, and that's fine.

r176 not sure you get it. Trump, the GOP, and the Religious right consider us second-class citizens. If you support them in any way and you are gay?? well fuck you. We...are tired of fucking magat gays getting to trample our rights then come out and be celebrated, traveling the world fucking hot guys and being treated like kings all the while still voting away OUR rights. I will say it again. FUCK THEM and if you support them, fuck you.

“Carl Nassib is a registered Republican.”

I mean, it makes him hotter. But I love straight (acting) masculine men with strong values.

[bold]BUT WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE THAT HE IS A MAGAT GAY R179??????????????[/bold]

Receipts or STFU. End of story.

R181, You are willfully and desperately ignoring the signs.

If you met a random guy and found out he registered Republican in 2019, hung out with a guy who waved flags at Trump rallies, and likes positive social media posts about Trump… what would you think about him?

R180, makes me vomit

R175, people aren’t looking specifically to “ruin” him; they are looking to find out exactly who he is. Most have never even heard of him.

I knew the $100k donation was a rather dramatic gesture. Now we know why he did it. Covering up for his being an asshole

Good luck to Nassib. And fuck him

When he desperately looks for advertisement deals, companies should know that his pushing a product will turn me off that product

So does he believe that doctors should have a choice if they want to treat gays? Should gays be able to be fired because they’re gay? Should businesses we allowed to refuse businesses to gays? Should religious organizations that take tax money be able to refuse service to tax paying gays?

Because that’s what the GOP kept pushing when they were last in power.

So funny to see closeted gays and MAGAts shriek "Leave Carly Alone!"

So, proving he's a Deplorable ruins him? Well then, STFU.

Just goes with my theory that he was about to be outed.

Not matter which way to try to cut it, he twice officially joined a party which explicitly and repeatedly issued a party platform denouncing gay marriage, gay adoption, defended the right of businesses and doctors to refuse service to gays, and supported gay conversion therapy.

I seriously doubt this guy is going to become the darling of the gay community. Give me Adam Rippon or Gus Kenworthy any day over this Chad.

Uncle Carl, where's your (log) cabin?

[quote] If you met a random guy and found out he registered Republican in 2019, hung out with a guy who waved flags at Trump rallies, and likes positive social media posts about Trump… what would you think about him?

It would depend on how hot he was.

all white faggots are the same

Is he of the body, or not of the body?

Does he live in a deep red state or a deep blue state? If so, then it doesn't matter how he votes. Now if he lived in a purple state/swing state on the other hand...

[quote] Does he live in a deep red state or a deep blue state? If so, then it doesn't matter how he votes. Now if he lived in a purple state/swing state on the other hand...

He plays for the Las Vegas Raiders, but he bought a house in West Chester, PA -- literally one of the swingiest swing counties in one of the swingiest swing states.

Still waiting for actual evidence.

Thank you from Carl

Never mind, I saw the screencap. The Left has really lost its damn mind. I’m liberal but this group think shit needs to end.

R193 Arabs are not white. Yeah I know the US census defines them as white

R196, your article states Chester County has consistently went Democratic for the past couple of elections, and is predicted to continue to do so in the future.

Ellen is closet GOP.....So is Colton Underwood....

Not to troll but a lot of you sound very ignorant about the fundamentals of politics. Not only is it a little silly to dislike someone because omg they might support Trump, but assuming “Republican” is a stand-in for all the ills that plague the LGBTQ community is overly simplistic too.

For one thing, more than likely he’s a Republican because his parents were and that’s just who he identifies with. That’s not super profound but believe it or not that’s how a lot of people view politics.

And to be honest I don’t know why people assume Democrats are the key to salvation for the LGBTQ community just because they’re nominally more supportive.

Democrats have shown they’re not necessarily willing to die on a hill over LGBTQ issues any more than Republicans. They pander to gays to insulate their political power the same way they do racial minorities. Which, going back to my theory about his parents, if you’re gay but already inclined to be center-right in your views, I can see why you would readily identify as a Democrat because they’re not exactly full-throated allies either.

Geography matters. Niche social issues are important, but what about all the other stuff that politicians do that have nothing to do with your sexual orientation or gender identity. Are places where there’s a Democratic stronghold necessarily better run or safer? At best you can say not necessarily, st worst you can say hell no.

Also, for many of you to hate Trump so much, it’s funny that he’s probably the least on-brand Republican President in our lifetime. Not super religious, not really into fighting culture wars, not really into legislating morality. But yet you guys hate him more than your standard issue Republican. You have to be mature that yes politicians are going to say and do things you may not like, but appreciate the wins where you can get them.

Ok , Carolina Ghey.

I still haven't seen even one shred of evidence posted that Nassib is a Trump supporter.

The screeching, foot stamping zealots cancelling Nassib in this thread are truly unhinged and repulsive insisting that we "just assume it's true with no proof whatsoever and read Nassib's mind". Unacceptable.

If there is evidence then post it. If not - just fuck off.

R205 You can keep liking him. No one is stopping you. The people who find him suspicious can also choose to be over him. It’s not that big of a deal.

Oh, look. Pollyanna Prisspot @R203 has returned, lecturing us and finger wagging, as per usual.

So typically Republican: do as I say, and not as I do.

Beat it, cunt, you're not wanted here.

Just a reminder, R203: we hate Republicans AND Trump. Trump plotted to murder his political opponents on 1/6/21, and the entire Republican Party has been complicit in protecting and defending him and preventing Trump from being held responsible for his actions.

That is why I hate Trump and Republicans, and why I hate assholes like you.

[quote]Not all Republicans are Trumpists OP

...but ALL Republicans are Republicans. They--meaning THIS guy--supports a party that doesn’t support anything or anyone who isn’t white, male, and most importantly, heterosexual. It's REALLY that simple.

R203 I love how you’re reprimanding us for not giving a group of lying, hypocritical, racist, sexist, sociopaths the benefit of the doubt. HILARIOUS. You should do stand up

And just like that, R206 restored my faith in humanity.

I've spent my entire adult life in the military. While most of my friends are Republicans or Libertarians, I've always refused to become one myself. I'm certainly more conservative than most Democrats, and friends always joke I should embrace being a liberal Republican. However, from the Defense of Marriage Act to demonizing Critical Race Theory, Republicans can't resist embracing some reprehensible social view that makes it hard to embrace their party.

I don't believe the Democrats are the saviors of LGBT people and sometimes I wish I didn't have to hold my nose whenever I vote. That said, the trolls here are 100% full of shit when they try to justify Carl registering as a Republican and likely supporting Trump. He spent time, energy, and likely money supporting a party that continues to actively work against the best interests of anyone who identifies as LGBT. Fuck him.

[quote] all white faggots are the same

So this is the new attitude of the left? And R193 has 5 WWs.

And you wonder why Nassib is a Republican.

As I said in the other thread I don’t judge guys for voting for Obama who massacred loads of families in the Middle East or Biden who funds the war on Yemen. These guys have blood on their hands.

Carl didn’t personally do anything to support Trump except vote for him, which half of the frickin population did. Put it in perspective. Certainly he’s a better human being than mass murderers Obama/Trump/Biden.

No longer following anyone on Instagram, and no more Likes.

And the MAGA cousin isn't tagged anymore.

Proof Carl is MAGA and trying to hide it now.

R211 So? Every POTUS has blood on his hands. Frankly, it would be pretty fucking stupid to hold that against them. The FUCK does that have to do with Carl Nassib being a gay Republican?

Just the WORST analogy.

I am a moderate democrat. Before Trump, I never really cared all that much about how others vote, because while we had policy disagreements we were all still playing from the same playbook regarding some basic rules of how we're supposed to do this.

Then Trump became president and they went along with the first lie, then the second lie and then the third lie and so forth and so on. Then they spent 4 years of just going along with the lies and not caring what was being done to the institution.

Then the election happened. Then 1/6 happened. Then state legislatures started fucking with voting rights. And now the Senate republicans have blocked legislation to protect voting.

And while some of that is not that big of deal to some of you. It is a big deal to some others. The fight is no longer about liberals and conservatives. It's about living in a democracy (even with all it's flaws) versus an oligarchy.

What side are you on?

Right ON R214 Because we KNOW what side Nassib is on.

Lol, R214. With that rant, if you're a "moderate" democrat, I'd hate to see what a radical one thinks.

r203 I'm sorry about the coma you have been in for the last four years. Not super religious??? Jesus did you miss all the prayer sessions he had to pander ot the evangelicals? He had an on-staff spiritual advisor for fucks sake. Not into culture wars? He single handily kept the birther movement alive, persecuted the players in the NFL for kneeling, destroyed Kathy Griffin for an art photo. He used the DOJ to investigate his enemies and the FCC to fine SNL because they made fun of him. I am not sure you are getting it. the OFFICIAL platform of the GOP - something they vote on and agree on includes the overturning of gay marriage, the repeal of LGBT protections under the law, and the support of the religious freedom ot discriminate against gay people...this is their fucking official platform You can say "oh well some don't agree with it" not agreeing but supporting is still supporting. The dems at least want us to have the same basic human rights as everyone else., If nothing else I go with that. Every GOP president has nearly destroyed this country since Reagan. Get your head out of your ass.

R15

nothing that person said was radical or irrational

I'm not R203 but yes we know all that R217. Dump is appalling. Haven't got a single good word to say about him or the GOP. He can't die soon enough for my liking. That will be the only way we finally get rid of him and his influence.

But why is all of that Nassib's fault? There STILL hasn't been any evidence posted on DL that proves Nassib is a Dump supporter and agrees with his policies. For that matter - I haven't seen any evidence on DL that he votes GOP either.

And before you start shrieking - I hadn't even heard of Nassib until the other day. If he's a Dump supporter then post the evidence so that we can be properly informed and give him the same treatment as the Cock Gobbler. With Schock - we factually know exactly what he stood for and what he did. He deserves the treatment we give him.

But all I'm seeing is a lot of fact-free, over-emotional postings about something which is solely assumed and imagined. If there is proof then post it right away. Don't delay. It will immediately shut people like me up.

R213 it’s stupid to hold war crimes against war criminal presidents who commit them?

But not stupid to hold whatever Trump did against him?

The guy’s a voter, not a perpetrator. Perspective.

R212 His Jersey selling so fast and all these articles about him are his first taste of what celebrity and being the center of attention feels like. He knows being a Trumper or Trumper-sympathizer will take this away hence the clean-up.

R220.

[quote] There STILL hasn't been any evidence posted on DL that proves Nassib is a Dump supporter and agrees with his policies. For that matter - I haven't seen any evidence on DL that he votes GOP either.

You're never going to find that evidence. None of us DataLoungers were with him at the polls when he voted. But he registered as a Republican in 2019, three years into Trump's presidency, and by that time, the GOP was in lockstep with Trump on everything. Trump was the GOP, and the GOP was Trump. He didn't have to choose a party when he registered, but he did. He chose the Republican Party. He saw what Trump and the GOP stood for and said, "That's my party."

Ask him on his Twitter or insta. That post will disappear so fast. This was a coordinated coming out. Do you think he just decided one day to post? He probably hired a pr agency, and if they were good, told him he better drop a substantial donation on a gay charity to cover the fact he is a trump supporter..

trash

I'm reading some tweets of rightwingers on twitter who realize that Carl might be a Republican who voted for Trump. Their attitude is "Let's pop some popcorn and watch what happens."

For example-

[quote] This shit is better than the Silicon Valley episode where the guy comes out as...(shhh) Christian. He's more discriminated against for being Republican than he is for being gay.

[quote] This is way more entertaining than it should be. Just sit back and watch the show.

[quote] #cancelcarl coming up

It probably pained him to make that donation knowing it was going to help weird femmy fags, them/they nuts and obese blue-haired queers.

he only made that donation as a preemptive PR move bc he knew people would dig up his records. Well it backfired.

R193 - “All white faggots are the same.”

As a “white faggot” myself, I wholeheartedly agree.

[quote] He saw what Trump and the GOP stood for and said, "That's my party."

As did half the country, including your parents (if their over 50). Do you hate them, too?

r230 my parents voted for Biden, my brother voted for biden. My aunt voted for Trump. I don't speak to her ever since. I don't hate her, I hate that she believes that shit he spouts and cannot be associated with her,.

The Republican party is overtly fascist so your choices are Democratic or independent. Otherwise, you are a gay fascist (which does have a long, deadly tradition).

[quote] my parents voted for Biden

That's what they TOLD you.

I have cut off all friends who voted for Trump. #justsayknowtofascists

R230 Yes.

Carl is breaking archaic stereotypes. He’s a refreshing trailblazer who has already changed the world

The kind of People canceling Carl really don’t matter to a popular NFL football player.

He's scrubbing his social media so it really must matter to him.

Yeah right. The most disgusting things I've seen about the guy have been from rightwing NFL fans who feel a mediocre player is getting accolades for being gay. People here who rightfully question why he's a Republican have been kind by comparison.

[quote] The most disgusting things I've seen about the guy have been from rightwing NFL fans who feel a mediocre player is getting accolades for being gay.

It's even more than just about getting accolades. Rightwingers are theorizing that he came out to save his career and the $25 million dollar contract. He really is getting crap from every side.

From one twitter thread-

[quote] Who had heard of this guy before he announced that he enjoys the male genitalia??? He announced this for one reason and one reason only…to save his career. He knew he wasn’t a very good football career. He thinks that teams will now think twice about letting a gay dude go.

Not really. There is more evil nastiness here than anywhere I have seen. People here relish being vicious and seem to lack a moral conscience that others have

[quote] including your parents (if their over 50) Do you hate them, too?

No, but I hate YOUR parents for letting you drop out of high school, you illiterate ass.

You don't even know what's wrong with your sentence, let alone your contorted analogy, do you? Asswipe Trumpstan.

R206 You are full of hate and rotten from the inside.

R207 You are full of hate and rotten from the inside.

Who the hell cares what his politics are? Gay people are allowed to be republicans and have opinions that are just valid as you think yours are. And no, being gay and voting republican is not analogous to being Jewish and voting for the Nazi party. Your hyperbole is ridiculous and betrays your ignorance. Just which gay rights were eliminated during the DJT administration? Please list them. I'm curious.

I might not be a registered Republican but I wish I was a registered bitch!

‘Endorsement’ from Aaron

I'll sleep better tonight knowing full well R243/R244 hates me.

I must be doing something right when I piss off Trumpanzees and Republican magats.

r248, Judgement Day should be very interesting for you. Have a blessed day!

R203, you are bending over backwards to try to basically explain that he doesn't mean to be a Republican of his own accord.

It's his parent's wish! It doesnt automatically means he's a Trumper! We should hate him because Trump isn't a true Republican! Geography matters so, because he doesn't live in a real conservative area, he's not one of those Republicans.

What happens if it turns out he IS a Trumper? Will you hate him then?

[quote] Who the hell cares what his politics are? Gay people are allowed to be republicans and have opinions that are just valid as you think yours are.

So, gays should not be allowed to marry, keep a job, see a doctor of their choice, be served by all businesses...is a valid opinion?

That was sweet, R247. One could argue Shailene Woodley's open-mindedness has saved at least one gay's life.

[quote] From one twitter thread- Who had heard of this guy before he announced that he enjoys the male genitalia??? He announced this for one reason and one reason only…to save his career. He knew he wasn’t a very good football career. He thinks that teams will now think twice about letting a gay dude go.

Of course, this is exactly what he did. And it's a smart move. The $100K to Trevor Project and suddenly caring about youth suicide is all part of this PR campaign. Fine, whatever--we often have financial motivations for what we do, but we don't have to embrace him just because he hopes it'll be financially lucrative to come out as gay

[quote] Just which gay rights were eliminated during the DJT administration? Please list them. I'm curious.

1) By Executive Order, Trump said that health professionals could determine whether to care for someone based on their own religious belief. That was ended by Biden.

2) Trump's DOJ submitted amicus briefs to support that businesses could refuse to provide service to gays because of their religious beliefs.

3) Trump's DOJ supported that gays could be fired for being gay.

4) Trump's DOJ supported that taxpayer funded services provided by religious organizations could be denied to gays.

5) Trump's DOJ supported that religious organizations could fire gays even if the gays were not in religious roles. (ex teacher in a catholic school)

And if you want to continue, the Trump administration did its worst with trans--banning trans from the military, supporting banning trans from competitive sports, not allowing the VA to provide transition surgery, supporting anti-trans bathroom bills, etc,

Trump and the GOP worked hard to divide the LGBT coalition by focusing its most public ire on trans---and it convinced some gays (as seen by the anti-trans trolls on DL) to go along...which of course is exactly the point.

[quote] And no, being gay and voting republican is not analogous to being Jewish and voting for the Nazi party.

Actually it's the perfect analogy. In the beginning, especially, even the Jews didn't know what the Nazi Party would become.

When the White Supremacists marched on Charlottesville, and Trump called them "Good People," not only did they chant "Jews will not replace us!" they chanted "Fucking Faggots!"

[quote] Now that he’s out he’ll stop being a Republican. It was likely something he needed to be to survive the closet.

Caitlyn didn't stop being a Republican. Heck, she even wore her Maga hat despite Trump's rules targeting trans.

I don't care, OP. I know Republicans (straight and gay), who did not support that racist, sexist, irresponsible imbecile.

It doesn't surprise me that he is a registered Republican, based upon seeing the clip from "Hard Knocks." From that clip, he may be the type that doesn't like the government to take his taxes.

People are complex. Stop trying to reduce political affiliation to simple categories of good and evil.

Carl Nassib might be a very nice person and I'm happy that he chose to come out.

BUT, does he have ANY FUCKING CLUE how bad the GOP is to LGBT? We're not all pissed off just for the hell of it.

If he truly wants acceptance from LGBT (and, importantly for his pocketbook, contracts to advertise products to us), he needs to get out of the GOP.

If not, he will have as much value to us as Aaron Schock and Caitlyn Jenner--which is none.

Nassib is from PA. One's registers by party there to vote in primaries. He resides in Las Vegas now, one assumes, since he plays for the raiders. It cannot be concluded who he has voted for or even if he actually voted in the last election. If he is a Trump supporter, I don't see where he has been vocal about it.

R260, lots of dancing around and excuses. So are you saying he not really a Republican despite being registered as one and being friends with Trumpers?

As in: Dont believe our eyes?

[quote] He resides in Las Vegas now, one assumes, since he plays for the raiders. It cannot be concluded who he has voted for or even if he actually voted in the last election.

If he didn't vote in the last election, that would be EVEN Worse.

[quote] People are complex. Stop trying to reduce political affiliation to simple categories of good and evil.

And yet with politics, it is pretty simple to divide into good and evil. If you disagree with the route your party has taken, you leave it. He registered as a Republican in 2019--not 10 years ago, but when Trump was president and took complete control over the GOP.

He chose Trump's GOP. You can't gaslight us about what that means.

[quote] I don't care, OP. I know Republicans (straight and gay), who did not support that racist, sexist, irresponsible imbecile.

Considering Trump dominates and controls the GOP, why are they still Republican? If they haven't thought about it, not only are they evil; they're stupid.

"I know Nazis who didn't support Hitler."

Now, doesn't that sound stupid?

Carl was going to be outed. That is what happened. Republicans don't roll like that and offer up an IG post and 100 grand. If people really looked into it, someone was going to drop a dime on him and he pre-empted it and became the hot stud with the courage, a win-win all around.

As far as the republic party sympathizers and other assorted garbage humans on this post defending the republic party, you fucksticks lost that right about the time your guys beat a cop and tried to overthrow the government. You are fucking sick fucks.

I'm going to take it at face value, not go through the mental gymnastics to justify why he apparently he didn't mean to be a Republican.

At face value, he is a registered Republican, and he did so, as an adult, just two years ago. His friend flies the Trump flag proudly at protests.

Whether he believes (or even understands) all the terrible things the GOP stands for is not my problem. He's wearing the Scarlet R.

In 2020, the GOP re-endorsed it's anti-LGBT platform:

GOP Platform: “Our laws and our government’s regulations should recognize marriage as the union of one man and one woman … We do not accept the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage and we urge its reversal.”

GOP Platform: “That same provision of law is now being used by bureaucrats — and by the current President of the United States — to impose a social and cultural revolution upon the American people by wrongly redefining sex discrimination to include sexual orientation or other categories.”

GOP Platform: “We reject the use of the military as a platform for social experimentation and will not accept or continue attempts to undermine military priorities and mission readiness.”

GOP Platform: “We endorse the First Amendment Defense Act, Republican legislation in the House and Senate which will bar government discrimination against individuals and businesses for acting on the belief that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”

R258, those are the worst kind of Republicans, those that would deny their decency and morality for a few points off their tax bracket.

[quote] The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people. -Martin Luther King, Jr.

He was *allowed* to come out because of liberals. If everyone voted the way he and the cunt@R1 do (who no doubt gave at least 1/3 of those likes to himself), he'd still be closeted.

You are clearly an idiot if you can't recognize the irony in the fact that you align with a party that is the reason you were in the closet in the first place and rail against the party that NORMALIZED you.

[quote] You are clearly an idiot if you can't recognize the irony in the fact that you align with a party that is the reason you were in the closet in the first place

Obama: "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage."

Hillary: "I believe that marriage is not just a bond, but a sacred bond between a man and a woman."

R271, and BOTH of them came out strongly FOR gay marriage afterwards.

Still waiting on the Republicans...

R271, now tell us how the Democrats started the KKK.

Your pathetic attempt to absolve the Republican party by essentially telling us the jaywalkers are just as bad child rapists i snoted.

*is noted

R271, so cute, pulling quotes from over a decade ago.

I wonder what the Republican Party thinks of gay marriage NOW?

R275, should we tell him about the *current* attempts by Republicans to enact anti-gay legislation at the state level or do we think he knows and just doesn't give a shit because he's really owning the Dems with old quotes?

When one associates himself with a party, he runs the risk of taking on the mantle of that party,

Aaron Schock and Caityn Jenner have not repudiated at all what their party stands for. Will Nassib? or will he doubledown as a Trump -loving asshole?

No R261. Has he confirm he is a registered Republican? Has he commented?

He is a gay pro football player. That is confirmed.

Third hand invasion of privacy per voting sounds very Trumpian. Don't call yourselves Democrats if you are embracing such behavior.

LOL Voting affiliation is public record.

R278, invasion of privacy? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO. Registering for a political party is PUBLIC. We have the receipts

That picture of his friend with the MAGA T-Shirt on...means what?

That Nassib doesnt really mean to be Republican? That he's only Republican because his parents are? Because he made a mistake and his hand slipped?

If your friend walked into your house with a "Legends are born in June" T-shirt with a huge Trump pic on it, what would you do?

[quote] Third hand invasion of privacy per voting sounds very Trumpian. Don't call yourselves Democrats if you are embracing such behavior.

This is Nassib's new press agent desperately trying to gaslight us

R184 Sorry, but i don't buy that stupid explanation, if he was so worry about what people were going to think of him (so donate to the Trevor project) he would have stay in the closet like all the other gay athletes do.

He came out because he is comfortable being gay and doesn't mind other people know even when he knows that part of the audience is going to hate him.

It's the same all the time, when someone comes out of the closet are the gays (of course not most of the community but a small and rabid part) the ones who feel the need to destroy the guy.

He could be a saint that it wouldn't matter, he'll be trashed anyway

r245 here you go

Wrong Aaron r252.

[quote] Sorry, but i don't buy that stupid explanation, if he was so worry about what people were going to think of him (so donate to the Trevor project) he would have stay in the closet like all the other gay athletes do.

Oh, how simple you are.

Every move he made while coming out was obviously directed by a public relations person. He didn't suddenly wake up and proclaim: "I'm coming out of the closet AND giving $100,000 to the Trevor Project!"

He came out of the closet now because he saw some benefit to it--it could be that he was going to be outed. It could be (as many homophobes charge) that he though it would help him stay on the team as it'll be harder to fire someone who makes history by coming out. He made sure it was a splash.

[quote] He could be a saint that it wouldn't matter, he'll be trashed anyway

Being a gay Republican makes you way worse than trash

[quote] It's the same all the time, when someone comes out of the closet are the gays (of course not most of the community but a small and rabid part) the ones who feel the need to destroy the guy.

HIs Republican registration along with his photos with MAGA friends made it REALLY EASY.

He should fire his public relations agent. A goof agent would have scrubbed all that BEFORE he came out.

r288 pretty hard to scrub public record my guess is they picked the Trevor Project since it s focuses on LGBT youth. You might think wow but it's a tax write off.

[quote] pretty hard to scrub public record my guess is they picked the Trevor Project since it s focuses on LGBT youth. You might think wow but it's a tax write off.

And it's a feel good donation. How could you not love someone who donates to a children's charity?

His public relations firm knows that very very very well.

Let's make something perfectly clear: If this country expects to survive, there needs to be zero tolerance for Trumpism. Don't you dare act as though it's a mere difference in opinion on paying for infrastructure. We are talking about a movement where they will literally try and kill people because they lost in a democratic election and they will lie and make up conspiracies. They want to kill democracy by murdering elected officials all in the service of the stupidest, scummiest, racist, bigoted pile of shit to ever squat in the WH.

[quote]and voting republican is not analogous to being Jewish and voting for the Nazi party. Your hyperbole is ridiculous and betrays your ignorance.

It isn't hyperbole, you fool. He wouldn't have even been able to come out if Republicans actually controlled everything, so to vote for them IS an apt comparison. Do you pay attention at all to legislative efforts to nullify your rights and your existence over history? The GOP hasn't suddenly become enlightened, dumbass. How stupid are you that you don't believe you'd legally be called a fucking sodomite if these gay Republicans' bullshit votes counted?

[quote] In 2020, the GOP re-endorsed it's anti-LGBT platform.

It's just the party platform. It's a to-do list of things we're not gonna do.

R291 You are correct but you can’t convince Trumpers of anything. They worship Trump like he’s their god.

I am very happy that Carl Nassib has come out. It is a major step forward. However, in his coming out video, he made a statement something about creating a world of kindness and compassion. That's great. So now that he has taken this major step to come out publicly, he needs to continue this journey and reflect on his actions.

This means reflecting on what kindness and compassion means and who and what advances those ideals and principles. So let's give Carl Nassib a bit of time and space. However, I hope in his awakening that Carl Nassib realizes none of this matters if he is going to associate with or be a member of the motherfucking Repig party. You can't be associated with the Repigs who work to undermine the work of the LGBTQ community and organizations such as the Trevor Project to which Nassib generously made a sizable donation.

TikTok

[Quote] It's just the party platform. It's a to-do list of things we're not gonna do.

Excuses, excuses. The platform represents exactly what the party is.

If it’s full of homophobic wishes, don’t you think they’re going to support homophobic policies? I’m fact, when you go down the list, Trump’s DOJ sided with each one whenever there was a SCOTUS case about them.

So yes the platform matters

R294, how much you want to bet he’s never going to even address it?

The Trevor Project works to prevent gays kids from committing suicide.

Doesnt Nassib understand that the GOP’s stance on gays is exactly why they’re committing suicide?!

Does he love Chik-Fil-A?

I don’t want to hear any bull shit from him about how he will try to bring liberals and conservatives together on the issue of gays.

That’s bullshit talk. Caitlyn tried the same thing and the truth is the cunt stayed conservative.

R300 Caitlyn is a whole other level of hyppocrite. She supported Trump on his anti-trans policies.

This was posted in one of the other threads, but it deserves to be posted here, too. In addition to registering as a Republican in Florida in 2019, Snopes has confirmed that he registered as a Republican ON ELECTION DAY 2020 in Nevada.

's thread on Twitter shows that no one is falling for the "but he's only 28!" line of BS here on Datalounge.

Well, the moral authorities have spoken. The very white Carl Nassib, is canceled

R393, Nassib is a twat. I hope he's treated the same way Aaron Shock was after those pictures from Coachella were released.

R304 Canceling people isn’t a thing. The guy will be fine. Only repigs are obsessed with calling everything they do being canceled. See Josh Hawley for an example.

I like how OP capitalizes “gay”. Reminds me of Joseph McCarthy—he’s a COMMUNIST. I think gays should probably stay in the closet. Coming out decades ago was great, pre-Internet, but today—with gay online communities, who attack and are homophobic and doxx you and your loved ones , it’s just not a good idea anymore. You’re setting yourself up for disaster if you. Come out at your own risk—not because of straights, but because of gays. They seek to destroy.

R306 Sure

R308, cut the bullshit. R306 is absolutely right. I notice people like you are constantly outraged by absolute bullshit you consider "woke" and don't have anywhere near the outrage for the right-wing doing things like a president who tried to go after SNL or going after Colin K. Those are actual violations of the first amendment.

Josh Hawley, that bitch, attempted to claim big tech was silencing him as he promoted his shit book about big tech on big tech.

R309 Apparently we also canceled Dr. Seuss yet the book is still being sold. And we also canceled free speech but they actually don’t actually know what free speech means.

[quote]Apparently we also canceled Dr. Seuss yet the book is still being sold.

R310. "We" did not cancel Dr. Seuss. In fact, no one on the outside canceled anything or pressured anyone within the Dr. Seuss organization. Instead, the Seuss Foundation decided itself that there were a few selected books among the Dr. Seuss collection that should be withdrawn from circulation in light of today's standards on cultural and societal norms and considerations.

Pressured. ^

R297. I hope Nassib hears the criticism about his Repig membership and support. I don't hold out a lot of hope, but let's see if responds and changes his affiliation. Even someone like Nassib who took this big and public step to come out needs to educated. For someone who comes across as sincere and concerned particularly given his donation to the Trevor Project, I don't buy that he doesn't know what his association with the Repig party means especially toward gay youth.

If Nassib stays affiliated with the Repig Party, then he's not all that different than hypocritical asshole Caitlyn Jenner, although Jenner probably never made a donation to any gay charitable organization.

R312. If the Seuss Foundation felt the pressure in light of what's going on today--and then responded favorably, then I guess that's progress. However, the Foundation was not protested against or called upon to withdraw a few books from its collection. The Seuss Foundation acted on its own.

Keep in mind, while the Repugs like to say "Dr. Seuss was canceled," it is not true and it's misleading. Only a few selected books from the Dr. Seuss collection were withdrawn from circulation. The rest of the Dr. Seuss vast collection of books remains intact and available for all to read and enjoy.

[quote]If the Seuss Foundation felt the pressure in light of what's going on today--and then responded favorably, then I guess that's progress.

No. It’s not progress at all. It’s regressive.

Will Carl campaign for Caitlyn?

The huge irony is Nassib gave money to an organization that tries to prevent LGBT youth suicide.

They kill themselves because of beliefs and policies pushed and supported by his political party.

Absolute hypocrite!

My guess is, this is a hitting a little too close to home for some of you. I know we have gay Trump supporters on here who would sell their mothers out for some hot dick. In many places and in many spaces Trump is always going to be an issue for you. Your support for him is going to haunt you forever, like that trick who gave you herpes. You can whine and complain about mistreatment and cancelling. No one cares. Don't expect any succor here for you or Mr. Nassib.

FINALLY! Some proper fucking evidence from a reliable. Thank you R302. That's all I was asking for. Now we know for 100% certain that Nassib is a registered Republican - several times.

[italic]Snopes has checked official, reliable voter registration data from Nevada and Florida, and can confirm that Nassib is indeed registered to vote as a Republican, and has been in at least two states, since May 2019 at the latest. We are therefore issuing a rating of “True.”[/italic]

Now what?

[quote]Dear Diary

The utter hysteria on full view here. 🤣

If the news said later today that Carl was gay-bashed, people here would be through the roof, celebrating the lesson he'd just got handed.

What did you people expect?

As if a blonde dude out of Flyover America who plays sports for a living would vote Democrat.

Will Carl's admission give Tim Tebow any ideas?

Relax, trolls.

Nobody wishes any harm or failure for this person. He COULD be a nice guy, BUT he willing supports an anti-gay party. And as someone posted, he registered in 2019. That means he was TRULY digging what Trump was pedaling. That's a red flag you could see from space. I mean...he's got some issues.

Also? I suspect that his coming out was...self-preservation.

[quote] Also? I suspect that his coming out was...self-preservation.

That’s what I thought too.

Nassib is going to be fine, despite all the sound and fury from people posting here.

[quote]And if he remains a Republican, that's his choice. There are gay Republicans, after all, and if they're out and proud, they also contribute to the cause of visibility and diversity in the gay community.

Never trust anyone who is a member of a political party that doesn't support them.

[quote] If the news said later today that Carl was gay-bashed, people here would be through the roof, celebrating the lesson he'd just got handed.

No 6' 7 guy gets bashed.

[quote] And if he remains a Republican, that's his choice. There are gay Republicans, after all, and if they're out and proud, they also contribute to the cause of visibility and diversity in the gay community.

If he remains a Nazi, that's his choice. I don't have to like and support him either--that's MY choice.

His coming out was staged obviously for maximum commercial benefit. He was hoping to get welcome and accolades that can be translated into advertisement jobs and revenue.

Sorry, I'm not buying.

[quote] The utter hysteria on full view here. 🤣

Not hysteria. Utter disappointment

[quote]Nobody wishes any harm or failure for this person.

Yes they do. Just like they did with Michael Sam.

Like I said - Happy he felt comfortable to come out - sad he is a Trump supporter because the world where he felt safe and comfortable enough to come out was not built by the GOP or Trump.

Thanks for the very succinct comment, R332.

Unfortunately, it will fall on deaf ears since Republicans lack introspection, as so many pro-Trump and pro-Republican assholes here indicate.

Shocking that he registered as a Rethug ON ELECTION DAY in November 2021. Which means that he voted for Cheatolini after four years of that fucking nightmare. That’s insane.

It will be interesting to see if he responds and how he plans to explain the hypocrisy of his support for Repukes’ who have extremely homophobic stands.

That first interview is going to be wild.

R334 - How did you suffer, during the “four year nightmare” that you talk about?

someone put a cock in that mouth at R319

R335, My taxes went up and the crazy spending assured my taxes will go up dramatically in the future. I had to worry if my doctor could stop seeing me because I'm gay. I worried that I could be fired if I was gay. The pandemic, made worse by horrendous leadership, completely killed out social lives and caused such mental health issues in the fear that we could die.

MAGA folks constantly drove their flag-waving trucks through my town.

Trump offered no leadership, no empathy, and tore the country apart.

[quote] Never trust anyone who is a member of a political party that doesn't support them.

That include Dems, R326? See R271.

Oh dear lord. Now all of my “woke” friends are dragging Michael Sam into this, saying he was treated horribly, while Nassib is being touted as “brave.” And of course they say it’s a black/white issue. This is the NFL. They don’t care about skin color, just athletic ability.

[quote] How did you suffer, during the “four year nightmare” that you talk about?

Translation: No one else matters but me. I don't give a shit about anyone but me. I'm incapable of empathy and recognizing that *others* have taken shit just for what they are based on the racist and bigoted rhetoric over those four years and now, I'm going to ignore what has arisen out of those four years: A fucking insurrection based on the countless lies told over those four years. I'm going to ignore the death threats against governors, VPs, election workers and anyone who deigns to uphold their oath to protect the constitution.

R339 I know, from my perspective, that I would’ve hated to have been put in Michael Sam’s position. He shouldn’t have been pushed into that situation like that by his handlers. He was too young and hadn’t proven himself (as a football player). Your friends talking about that as if it was based on his race are rewriting history.

You can tell this thread has attracted Republican trolls. Pathetic.

What's sad is that R340 is not meant as a parody of a "woke" person, he's actually serious.

What's sad about R343 is he' an ass-cunt Trumpian in denial.

R343, what's even sadder is that you ignore what the last four years have actually been like and what arose from it. You're actually attempting to ignore what has come out of the Trump years.

You're quite a shithead and the tiresome "woke" insult shows how limited you are.

R343 wants to pretend Trump did nothing wrong. He wants to pretend everything was perfectly normal and nothing really happened.

God, you must be such an insufferable, selfish asshole.

I actually laugh at how quickly pro-Republican posts get multiple "likes."

[quote] what's even sadder is that you ignore what the last four years have actually been like and what arose from it.

We're all well aware.

[quote]That include Dems, [R326]? See [R271].

God, you're fucking embarrassing. Yes, an OLD quote is how you base your affil., not the ACTIONS taken after them.

Republicans are fucking stupid as hell. You just are.

R348, now tell us how "the blacks" don't appreciate anything.

And this is what happened because of the last four years:

What kind of grotesque person attempts to defend Trump? Jesus Christ. And if you think that means defending Biden, then you're just an idiot.

Trump embodies everything repulsive and depraved and nothing good. What kind of garbage must you be to defend him?

[quote]Black and Hispanic unemployment is at a record low

Now explain how anything Trump did produced that statistic and not the continuing Obama economic recovery. We'll wait......

[quote]What's sad about [R343] is he' an ass-cunt Trumpian in denial.

Trumpers hate brown people more than they love themselves.

R353, LBJ: Somebody to look down on.

I think we're very lucky that he ONLY voted for Trump. I mean, look at him, his face, his build. He's exactly the type that could have broken down the Capitol door on Jan. 6 and let that goddam Viking in. So count your gay blessings.

I heard this is part of a spring training camp prank. He lost a bet and this and the 100k were part of it.

[quote] What's sad is that R340 is not meant as a parody of a "woke" person, he's actually serious.

🙄 Our Rethuglican troll has no clue what “woke” means if he thinks that what R340 wrote is the equivalent of some of the truly “woke” nonsense that we all have seen. His post is a pretty standard mainstream response defending American democracy, which tRump put in serious jeopardy.

r336 don't forget you can't get a wedding cake.

[quote] Yes they do. Just like they did with Michael Sam.

Who would wish harm on Michael Sam? I would totally wish harm on Carl Nassib thought. Dumbass inbred MAGA gay.

[quote] What a fucking ridiculous [R359] to say! Seriously? You're an unhinged, hysterical psychotic. Get a fucking grip.

r359 is one of DL’s straight females, so keep that it mind.

Datalounge hates women. They call them “females”, “c-nts”, or “d-kes”.

I have never called a women “c-nts”, or “d-kes”. I have no idea how you even pronounce them. Now cunt and dyke...well.

r369 DL does not hate women. There is more dislike for trans than women. In fact being against trans in some aspects is a win for women. So DL most definitely doesn't hate women.

I was browsing reddit the other night and finally realized of whom Nassib reminded me:

R372, Carl had a bigger double chin than that guy though. Otherwise, yes, looks just like that.

[quote] Datalounge hates women.

Correction. We hate everything.

What R374 said. No where else will you find people calling each other "cunt" or far worse over something as innocuous as having a dryer vs hanging your clothes on a line.

As the thread continues to spiral down to bitchery, a reminder.

THE RICH WHITE FOOTBALL GUY IS NOT A PIONEER, BUT A SHIFTY MAGAT DEFLECTING AS PART OF A P.R. CAMPAIGN.

R376, don't bother. People on this thread are giving him a pass because he is a white masculine (yet mediocre looking) guy who is just "too young" (as in 28) to know better. Imagine if it was revealed Michael Sam was a MAGA Republican when he came out. He would not be getting the same treatment as Nassib. You would hear a few lone voices on here saying Sam was being crucified while most would call him a self-hating cunt.

The power of the gayness did not protect him. He was cut.

[Quote] Black and Hispanic unemployment is at a record low

Obama produced about 90% of that unemployment. The last 10% happened under Trump as a continuation of Obama’s policies and Trump, as usual, stole it as a talking point about his own successes.

By the end of Trump’s administration, however, it was all ruined as Black and Hispanics had the highest unemployment again.

Not only is he a Republican but a Trump-voting one at that (the only conclusion one can come to considering the evidence of his registering Republican ON ELECTION DAY)

Stupid and evil

[Quote] People on this thread are giving him a pass because he is a white masculine (yet mediocre looking) guy who is just "too young" (as in 28) to know better.

Yes, it’s pathetic that his handling team is trying desperately to make the excuse that 28 is too young for him to know better.

When I was 28, I didn’t vote Republican

Where has he mentioned his affiliation?

The claim was investigated and confirmed that Nassib is a twice registered Republican R382.

All the rest is hysteria, assumptions and exaggeration - a lot of it pretty nasty and violent in the other threads.

I know, but HE has not addressed it.

Yes we know R384.

Well, that what I said.

Well, we can't fucking tell R386 because you don't seem to speak English.

Bless your heart.

Hurts to be wrong.

r376 He's an Arab . Calling him white just plain racist .

Be better.

R384, perhaps there’s a good reason why he hasn’t addressed it. Do you really think that $100K donation to a kids’ charity was out of the goodness of his heart?

His handlers knew very well this would come out. That donation was specifically to cover for his Trump-loving.

[Quote] He's an Arab . Calling him white just plain racist .

Arabs call themselves white

r390, yes that donation wasn't out of the goodness of his heart. The way he seems to handle his finances reminds me of every well-off Republican I have ever known---they already have so much, but are only concerned with somehow getting (and keeping) more.

[quote] His handlers knew very well this would come out.

Sure, R390. I'm sure his "handlers" knew that a bunch of hysterical gay Nazis on Datalounge would be attacking a young gay man brave enough to come out in the NFL. It's so foreseeable!

MAGAt FAGAt.

Someone meme that lip biting pic with, "You're fired!" and post it in the comments.

[Quote] I'm sure his "handlers" knew that a bunch of hysterical gay Nazis on Datalounge would be attacking a young gay man brave enough to come out in the NFL. It's so foreseeable!

Yes, he was brave to come out while in the NFL. Not smart enough to realize that liberals created the world where he can come out.

[Quote] I'm sure his "handlers" knew that a bunch of hysterical gay Nazis on Datalounge

He’s the Republican and somehow we’re the Nazis. Sure, Jan

I mean he’s a “professional” football player on his 20s. Why are we expecting so much from him? He’s probably a complete fucking moron just trying to make it through life. He’s not a role model, he’s not an intellectual, he’s not aspirational. The “donation” was never his personal idea. He’ll be hanging with the other idiots in PV in a matter of months.

There’s very little homophobia in today’s Republican Party, and that TERRIFIES Democrats because it means their days of using gays and lesbians as a victim target group are mostly over.

Why do you think it’s all “LGBTQ+” this and that? Most of the LGBTQ crap is trans trans trans all the time. Gays are wising up. There are a LOT of closeted Republican gays and even more that are starting to “come out.”

For the First Time, a Small Majority of Republicans Support Gay Marriage

Republicans, who have consistently been the party group least in favor of same-sex marriage, show majority support in 2021 for the first time (55%). The latest increase in support among all Americans is driven largely by changes in Republicans' views.

He looks like a mosquito

That's still 45% who opposed gay marriage, R407. That's doesn't gibe with your idiotic "there's very little homophobia in today's Republican Party" comment. 45% is almost half. You're not a numbers person, no?

r40e7 so for the first time a small majority supports something that has been legal for years.....wow. great. I feel so welcome. Small majority or not it is STILL on their platform to repeal gay marriage.

r408, he's six foot seven, how does he look like a mosquito?

[quote] There’s very little homophobia in today’s Republican Party, and that TERRIFIES Democrats because it means their days of using gays and lesbians as a victim target group are mostly over.

So, trying to diminish gay rights at every turn isn't considered homophobia?

People don’t realize how much money and effort republicans have put into oppressive policies for gays? Really?

Time to put the Tik Tok away and learn some history.

He looks like Ray from Princess and the Frog.

[quote]There’s very little homophobia in today’s Republican Party

Possibly, but there sure is a LOT of homohateia in today's Republican Party.

The GOP's base is Evangelicals. OF COURSE there's homophobia. If the GOP weren't anti gay and anti abortion, what would it raise money on?

Y'all are seriously making a mistake. You're envisioning the Republican party of 2011, not the GOP as it is in 2021; yes, there is still an evangelical element in the party, but it is less influential and the more libertarian/independent element -- which is more accepting of gays and lesbians -- is more ascendant. And the more the Democrats battle the old enemy, the more likely the new enemy will triumph in 2022 and 2024.

R417 = Kenny Mehlman, or Jeff Gannon.

I can't decide which of these two loathsome assholes R417 is.

I see the Republican Party of 2021 as a bunch of gutless, spineless cowards trying to avoid confrontation with the head gutless, spineless coward, Donald J. Trump, and his mouth breathing idiot supporters.

When exactly did this renaissance occur of which you speak, R417?

It's the party of 2021 that is pushing "religious rights" to stop "gay rights."

Sure, accepting gays is ascendant but that's because society has and the GOP better come along or become obsolete. One day, the GOP will even start accepting blacks.

California bans state travel to 5 states over anti-LGBTQ 'bigotry'

What a coincidence that these are all Republican-led states...

It's just the T that are affected by the laws, and is such a ban even constitutional?

R421, As was already refuted in another thread, the laws affect all LGBT. Why don't you actually read the article?

Do Russians have that much problem reading English? How about "Vodka"? Can you read that.

And yes, a state can choose what it wants to do with its travel money. The Constitution doesn't say anywhere that California government workers "must travel to Texas."

The GOP is strategizing now. Just watch, they’ll present a more moderate, charismatic candidate for 2024 - someone that even us independents and folks tired of extreme leftist policies can get behind. The Democratic Party has lost a lot of support (spoken and unspoken) since Biden and Harris the hyena have been installed. The new candidate will even announce inclusive support for gays and lesbians, but will leave out trans so they don’t alienate the far right.

R423 = Qanon incel Virginia fat GayOP shit-tard. "Harris the hyena?"

So, you MAGAt FAGAts just think you can hide the Jan. 6 mob, the Trumptards, the KKKers, etc.? You dumb fuck.

Sure, Jan

The GOP has been doubling down with Trump so don't expect a different sort of candidate until at least 2028. If the 2024 candidate loses, the GOP will come back with a seemingly moderate candidate.

But they all claim to be moderate until they get elected. Then they realize how they must bend over for the Evangelicals and start the crazy right wing crap.

[quote] But they all claim to be moderate until they get elected. Then they realize how they must bend over for the Evangelicals and start the crazy right wing crap.

R450 what does he have such a fat face?

You just know once his career has ended, he‘ll look like a balloon…

One thing is for sure, the guy is not a fame whore.

He came out and then continued with his life without much fanfare

He came out and, once news that he’s a Republican also came out, his handlers told to keep a low profile for now. His donation to the kids charity was to support his coming out moment and being perceived as a caring, loving guy. His MAGA connections put everything to an immediately stop. Now the handlers are busy trying to scrub the internet, but it’s too late

I work in PR. I know exactly why he’s acting like he is right now.

R450, ready to raid the Capitol and hand the VP!

R455 Half the country is republican.

Unless he is a known racist that shouldn't be such problem.

The guy is from a healthy family and he doesn't seem to be stupid and has knowledge over finances, i doubt he wanted the type of attention that ends on a reality show

[quote]Half the country is republican

It's around ten points lower than that, if you mean "identify as Republican" (if you mean registered Republican, of course, it's only around 24%).

R459, as every good publicist know, you must have the support of your own community before getting the support of everyone else.

His coming out and donating with a splash was an effort to get the support of the LGBT community. Once we had his back, he could move on to gain the acceptance of the world. But, that backfired with his MAGA pictures.

Sure there may be many Republicans but the real conservatives will hate him immediately because he’s gay. No one will defend him. It doesn’t matter if he’s a football player. It’s the same with, say Caitlyn. Without LGBT support, she flounders around looking for a base. She’s hated by everyone

So basically unless you are the right type of gay you shouldn't come out because you will only be supported if you fit the mold.

And in this case we are talking about someone who has zero scandals apart of being a republican.- It's not exactly a message of inclusiveness, specially because the number of homophobic democrats is not that small (the position of the party is not always the positiion of the polititian) and most of them were not even that supportive not so long ago.

I could understand that type of reaction if there were something more

[quote] I could understand that type of reaction if there were something more

🙄 Get real. This is not that difficult. In November 2020 he was gay, albeit closeted, and he voted for tRump. Listed below is a compilation of the tRump-Pence attacks on and outright hostility toward the LGBTQ+ community. As a then closeted gay man he was perfectly OK with all of this. He either endorsed it implicitly or he just didn’t care. Whatever the reason, he has to live with that decision, and the rest of the community is clearly not ready to give him a pass for supporting Cheatolini just because he’s the first active NFL player to come out.

[quote] specially because the number of homophobic democrats is not that small

A spurious claim. “Not that small.” What does that even mean? Numbers? Names? Plus, I’m not sure why or how this whataboutism is relevant to Nassib. We are talking about the here and now — not reaching back 20+ years for equivocating statements about marriage equality by Obama or the Clintons, all of whom have moved into the “strongly support” column. tRump and Pence are still as anti-gay today as they were last year or in 2016.

Coming out does not automatically grant Nassib absolution for his past transgressions against a community that he now claims that he wants to embrace.

Sorry but that's pure bullshit.

The truth is the guy had the guts to come out in a sport that clearly prefers players who beat their wives and shoot people and suddenly here (because outside this site the controversy was not even near of being that big) people act like it was terrible that he voted republican, even when it's pretty clear he is one of those fiscally conservative guys.

Yes, voting for Trump was stupid, but millions of americans did it and i suppose not all were that terrible.

And saying he donated to the Trevor project to clean his image is absurd because there's nothing to clean and if he was that worried he could have stay in the closet

R463 Do you really need the names of democratic representatives that are less than fine with gays? because the number is not that small. In some parts of the country it's quite difficult to diferenciate the candidates.

Anyway, that's not the point. The reaction was pretty clear (here, outside he received a lot of support) if you are not a democrat you better stay in the closet because it's not going to pay the prize you are going to pay for coming out

[quote] Do you really need the names of democratic representatives that are less than fine with gays? because the number is not that small.

Yup. Name names. If the number is “not that small” then it shouldn’t be that difficult. Otherwise, this is just a bullshit assertion without any basis in fact.

[Quote] So basically unless you are the right type of gay you shouldn't come out because you will only be supported if you fit the mold.

He can come out all he wants.

BUT, don’t expect gays to fall over your every word when you voted for Trump. A huge reason for this coming out was to be able to represent gays in ads and other commercial ventures. This just will not happen with a gay Trump supporter.

[Quote] Yes, voting for Trump was stupid, but millions of americans did it and i suppose not all were that terrible.

Yes, ALL of them, each and every one is TERRIBLE

R464, Nassib’s handlers are all over this thread in a desperate attempt to spin his stupidity

A perfect comparison is Herman Cain. He was a black guy who supported Trump.

The GOP tolerated him because it needed a black guy to help its brand. The black population turned their back on him.

In the end, he was in this limbo state where no one was thrilled about him. And then he died

[Quote] So basically unless you are the right type of gay you shouldn't come out because you will only be supported if you fit the mold.

The problem is conservative LGBT end up like Caitlyn, Aaron Schock, or Milo. Happy for them that they came out (Milo is now straight though), but now, FUCK YOU

Yes, much of the country is Republican and they hate him the second he came out as gay.

Now where is Nassib supposed to turn for support.

I certainly don’t see Republicans standing up for GOP gays.

[quote] Now where is Nassib supposed to turn for support.

His $25 million bank account and his MAGAt brohole buddies sucking his rich teats.

I hate Trump more than the next person, but this guy was not publicly Republican. He is not a Herman Cain or Caitlyn Jenner. So he registered as a Republican and probably for Trump. So did many people. He obviously grew up in a conservative household, plays a sport dominated by conservatives (at least the white contingent).

I have absolutely no idea what he thought of the insurrection or anything else. For all I know, he may now regret his vote. The important thing is that he has the balls to come out while on a roster, not after retirement, not as a lame attempt to get on a team's roster, but while he's an active player. He didn't have to do that and he will probably suffer to a degree for doing that (homophobia from teammates, players for other teams, fans). And now we know that he's also not a fame whore. In fact, his own statement (pre-Republican revelations) said that he won't be doing interviews and will concentrate on football.

Your "us and them" mentality for someone who hasn't said a political word publicly is OTT. It also doesn't help people who don't toe the "acceptable gay" line in some way but still want to come out.

[quote] Do you really need the names of democratic representatives that are less than fine with gays? because the number is not that small.

We’re still waiting. If there are so many of them, you should be able to easily start listing them. Unless of course your claim was total BS (it was) and you have zero proof that there are “no small number” of antigay Democrats. Which is precisely what most of us suspect.

R454, that is the formula for being accepted as an openly gay or bi athlete. You get acceptance by fitting in with your athlete brethren, not by squawking and proclaiming yourself so different and special. Carl is that football player we have been dreaming of to make being a gay team sports athlete acceptable

There is no evidence Carl came out to capitalize on the gay market or community. All evidence indicates he is happy and naturally aligned with a mainstream identity and community. He is happy being one of the jock bros.

For R476

[quote] Carl is that football player we have been dreaming of

Perhaps in your masturbatory fantasies, OutSports-esque bro-fan.

Most gays don't give a shit about corrupt corporo-sports.  It's just that the ones who do never stop braying about it.

R450 Omg, his eyebrows are tragic.

Does Carl support same-sex marriage?

[Quote] Your "us and them" mentality for someone who hasn't said a political word publicly is OTT. It also doesn't help people who don't toe the "acceptable gay" line in some way but still want to come out.

If you voted for Trump after all the absolutely appalling things he did against the rule of law over the 4 years of his presidency, even before the insurrection, you are a Fuck-Tard.

Hanging around with Maga types, Nassib seem to fit right in. Nassib’s a Fuck-Tard, and openly gay Fuck-Tard.

How can I support and give a shit about another gay man who has no problem supporting a fascist-wanna be?

I support and care about Nassib as much as I do Caitlyn—which is nil.

If you don’t care about gay equality and don’t support politicians who do, you’re shit.

Gays are not monolithic you fuck!

Don't use big words. It confuses your fellow MAGAts.

Are gay Republicans the same as Jewish Nazis?

Ludicrous analogy r485

I’m not Republican, but I think Carl is a really cool dude. He is breaking archaic stereotypes about gay men just by existing. He is a great role model for bi and gay male athletics, and masculine nonstraight guys in general. Gen Z gay/bi athletes will be even more numerous and accepted.

R487 is either Carl Nassib or his publicist.

Spot on 487

R488, you’re not the boss of bi and gay dudes. Deal with it

[quote] a great role model for ... masculine nonstraight guys

Because you're all so so oppressed!

94

Hot

Man, the excuses DLers came up with for this guy being a registered Republican range from hilarious to borderline pathetic, and, nearly a month later, the list just keeps growing!

Carl is smoking hot and real masculine .

R484, we. Do. NOT. Care.

R494, it’s like GWB’s reasons for invading Iraq. When one excuse gets laughed out of the water, then they come back with some other excuse.

Carl’s reason for voting Republican are the same as his reason for giving money to the Trevor Project, money.

He doesn’t care about other gays, gay kids, or anyone other than himself and shaving a couple of points off of his effective tax rate.

I would prefer a raving Trumper to a quiet closet conservative. At least with the Trumper you know where you stand.

You're so right, R498. He only came out to reduce his effective tax rate. How clever! Have you always been this perceptive?

Carl definitely looks better now than he did a few years back. Here's a video about his younger brother, John, in which he's interviewed.

Tony Woodard is an aspie cunt

[quote] I would prefer a raving Trumper to a quiet closet conservative. At least with the Trumper you know where you stand.

Being photographed with raving MAGAts isn't being a quiet closet conservative. These guys who go to rallies and wave MAGA Flags are his closest friends. Let's stop pretending he's a quiet conservative who is only in it for the taxes.

A vote for Trump comes across as a vote for White supremacy to me.

Sometimes it gets hot

I don't give a shit about politics so it really doesn't matter to me.

R503 = Fucking idiot

R502 = Hitler was pretty cute too.

R503, um, so you don't care if someone supports the party that is actively stripping you of your rights and represents white supremacy?

Carl is hot masculine man

R507.

The Log Cabin Nazis?

You mean the disbanded HW Nazis who hide out in Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, attending catholic mass and whacky evangelical church services, OP?

Yeah???

I don’t know them!

You'd have to grade on a serious curve to designate Miss Carl as hot.

If 1,000 gay men who watched football were asked 3 months ago to name a player they would hope to come out as gay, 0 would've said "Carl Nassib." (I would've hoped for Jimmy Garropolo or Rob Gronkowski)

R510, keep your effeminate bitterness to yourself dude. Gross

Exactly! R511

R510, there are about 1,700 NFL players. Who cares if he's not in the top 2 hottest players out of 1,700? He's hot is all that matters.

Amen bro

He’s certainly hotter than those saying he’s not hot

We'll see how many new excuses you all come up with before this thread reaches 600 posts.

The latest one - "he's hot and masculine and thus beyond reproach" is probably the funniest, but it is also probably the one that is most honest among those breathlessly defending him. Certainly moreso than "he's young, he didn't know what he was doing!!!" (When he's nearly 30 years old.)

So? Why do you care? We can like whomever we want

[quote]So? Why do you care?

Because it's amusing. Please continue!

[quote] so you don't care if someone supports the party that is actively stripping you of your rights

As far as I know, Nassib hasn’t stripped me of anything, and since there can’t be guilt by association, that leaves nothing yet to hold against him personally.

Nassib’s publicity coach is working overtime on this thread

[quote] and since there can’t be guilt by association

He's not just "associated" with Republicans. He voted for them. He voted for them in 2020 long after it was clear what Trump stood for. But make more excuses.

I'll wait for any interview, social media post or public statement hailing Cheeto or other Trumplicans before I cancel him. Until then, he's just a guy who clearly made a stupid mistake and voted for Trump. He doesn't seem like a bad person. In fact, he's been described as a really nice guy.

I get great vibes from him.

I really like him. Reminds me of my friends

Focus

Candygram for Mongo...I mean Carl.

[Quote] Until then, he's just a guy who clearly made a stupid mistake and voted for Trump. He doesn't seem like a bad person. In fact, he's been described as a really nice guy.

Of course there are many people who voted for Trump who are nice. They just don’t want minorities to gain any more power.

And suppose Nassib didn’t think it was a mistake and actually adores Trump?

Flowers

Well, that’s his mistake. And the mistake of more than 74 million people, including some of my friends, neighbors, family, coworkers, and church members. I don’t require people to be just like me to love or like them. Im not that petty.

People vote for dangerous demagogues for different reasons; they're not all racists. Sure, many of them are. How do you explain black and Latino voters for that POS? Surely, they can't be racist. Don't look for rational thought when it comes to emotional decisions.

About 1/3 of Latinos voted for Trump, 1/5 of black men

[quote] Well, that’s his mistake. And the mistake of more than 74 million people, including some of my friends, neighbors, family, coworkers, and church members. I don’t require people to be just like me to love or like them. Im not that petty.

That’s very nice, but that is not the same calculation that the overwhelming majority of people have to make with regard to Nassib. He’s not our friend, family member, neighbor, or coworker. We don’t know him. He came out, and to the extent that he wants or expects our support, we look at what he’s done. So far, all we can see is that he made what appears to be a “save-my-ass” donation to the Trevor Project AND aligned himself with the party that is antithetical to Trevor’s work. That’s it. This is not simply an “oh, well,” situation — no big deal. That is reserved things like people who want pineapple on their pizza, not for people who supported tRump, the Repukes, and their hateful agenda, no matter how “nice” 🙄 they are.

If the only thing I know about you is that you supported tRump, that would be a gigantic hurdle and nearly impossible to overcome.

It will interesting to hear him explain all of this — if he even cares to — when he finally sits down for an interview.

R530, there were Jews that Suporter and actively worked with the Nazi’s until they found themselves living under the same conditions that their Jewish friends. There is always going to be people that vote against their own interests, from poor whites to black and brown voters. The black and brown people that voted for Trump are POS that feel comfortable in their place in the world and get a kick out of Trump’s authoritarian trolling of others. They bought into the bullshit. Yes, black and brown people can be racist. Where the fuck did you hear otherwise?

"I'm a liberal Democrat, but..."

"I hate Trump as much as anyone else, but...."

Frankly, this discussion wouldn't still be happening here, at this intensity, if this guy wasn't a 6'7" 'HAWT' football player. But at least it's finally being admitted to, 500+ posts into thread #3 or #4 about him. It's really not that much different from those who find Cockgobbler Aaron Schock an 'inspiration' because he has big muscle titties (that are beginning to sag, but that's besides the point....).

Y’all folks here can genuflect at the altar of Saint Carl all y’all want but I’ll be goddamned if I’m going going to support someone so stupid as to Stan a party which EXPLICITLY tries to strip hard-won rights away from me and my fellow homosexuals.

He came out, and made his donation to a gay charity, to slow his inevitable slide into real estate or car dealership. He’ll now land a lower-level, front office job in the NFL. Good for him for taking care of himself but damn if I’m going to cheerlead for this limp quisling. I marched in too many actual pride marches for that bullshit.

Yeah, fuck him!!

Anon and blindfolded at a Days Inn? OK.

R532, "save my ass" donation to Trevor Project? He didn't have to come out at all; he could have saved himself that donation. Let's face it. No matter how someone comes out or who they vote for, DLers will always shit on them for some reason. I don't remember anyone being particularly supportive of Michael Sam either and he's not a Republican.

[Quote] Well, that’s his mistake. And the mistake of more than 74 million people, including some of my friends, neighbors, family, coworkers, and church members. I don’t require people to be just like me to love or like them. Im not that petty.

Oh, I am

[Quote] Well, that’s his mistake. And the mistake of more than 74 million people, including some of my friends, neighbors, family, coworkers, and church members. I don’t require people to be just like me to love or like them. Im not that petty.

I don’t require people to be just like me either. For me to support them however, I do require them not to vote against my rights.

[Quote] No matter how someone comes out or who they vote for, DLers will always shit on them for some reason.

But Nassib gave us a really good reason to shit on him.

[Quote] It will interesting to hear him explain all of this — if he even cares to — when he finally sits down for an interview.

And isn’t it revealing that he hasn’t actually sat down for such an interview. His handlers pulled the plug on anything as soon as the MAGA shit came out. He will lay low for a while and be “reintroduced” in a few months.

R541- he was not planning on giving interviews. In his coming out statement, he said so. Why is it so difficult to get that someone isn't a fame whore and genuinely wanted to come out?

When was the tweet linked by OP deleted? Odd.

[quote] he's just a guy who clearly made a stupid mistake and voted for Trump

Someone who voted for Trump in 2016 because they naively thought "at least he's better than Hillary" made a mistake.

Someone who registered as a Republican on Election Day in November 2020, after watching what Trump and the the current version of the GOP did to gays and the country at large for 4 years, made a conscious decision to align themselves with bigotry and stupidity.

One is forgivable. The other one isn't.

[quote]How do you explain black and Latino voters for that POS?

It's because Trump was so "alpha". 🙄🤣

[Quote] he was not planning on giving interviews. In his coming out statement, he said so. Why is it so difficult to get that someone isn't a fame whore and genuinely wanted to come out?

Of course he wants to gives interviews. The whole point, as shown by his donation, way to gain some notoriety from the announcement.

And then his MAGa connections became known so his publicity handlers immediately pulled back until the hullabaloo died down. This is classic public relations

[Quote] How do you explain black and Latino voters for that POS?

How come Nassib’s vote can be a “simple mistake” but black and Latino voters votes for Trump be a horrendous action?

Stupidity comes in all colors

[Quote] When was the tweet linked by OP deleted? Odd.

Nassib’s handlers is desperate to scrub the internet

R546, so Nassib was psychic and said he will not do interviews in his original statement posted to Instagram before any Trump connections were revealed? Genius. Anyway, he can easily do friendly interviews with sports journalists who would be very sympathetic. Even if they brought up the alleged Trump vote (doubtful, as the only proof we have is that he's a registered Republican), he could say that he's not a political figure and, like any other private citizen, will not talk about his private vote. Not hard to do.

[quote] the only proof we have is that he's a registered Republican

Exactly. We don't know he voted for Trump. He may very well have registered as a Republican on Election Day because he wanted to vote for Biden.

I don't always understand gay republicans, but I respect their right to vote however they see fit. I have zero respect for gay Trump voters (who I consider a little bit different than regular gay republicans) but you can't save stupid.

But what I'm curious about is are there some of you who are checking voter registration cards before spreading your legs? There's a hot guy ready to mix up your guts with his big dick, but you say, "but first, before you stick it in let's talk about your voting history."

And finally, white football players tend to be conservative and republican. Even the gay ones.

Obviously he did, R550, but no sports journalist is going to say "so you registered as a Republican. Did you vote for Trump?" I don't get the morons who think that he's hiding from interviews because his voter registration records are public. Unless he decides to interview with Out, this will never come up. He hasn't said a word about politics. ESPN would not bring it up. The reason he's not being interviewed is that he never had any intention (for the time being) to be interviewed. Instead of being the next "sideshow Michael Sam," wants to continue playing without distraction. I'm sure he'll be interviewed eventually.

He’s smart

[Quote] He may very well have registered as a Republican on Election Day because he wanted to vote for Biden.

Sure, Jan

[Quote] He may very well have registered as a Republican on Election Day because he wanted to vote for Biden.

Hmmm. He registered as a Republican on Election Day and hangs out with known MAGA types…

Yes, he definitely voted for Biden!

R552, that’s hilarious.

He came out publicly and gave $1 mill to a charity for kids…for a reason. To gain publicity and likely hope to not be cut by his team. He’s actually not that great a player so is worried what his prospects are. This was a way to get into the headlines

Every step he’s taken has been calculated and guided by professional handlers. He’s just doing what they say. The MAGA posts and the voting record caught the handlers off guard. He was planning a more public coming out.

What MAGA posts, R556? You mean a photo posted on someone else's Instagram where one of the people was wearing a MAGA shirt? So now he's responsible for what others are wearing and posting?

Also, what $1M for a kids' charity? Why are you making shit up?

He's not getting cut by the Raiders because they signed him a year ago to a $25M, 3 year deal (which means he is in fact a good player but not necessarily a super star). If they cut him now, they have to pay him a guaranteed $10M on his way out. If they keep him, they have to pay him $4.5M for this season. Would you cut him right now and pay an extra $5.5M for nothing?

R557, I did make a mistake—he gave $100k to a kids charity, not $1 mill.

And one of his close friends, with whom he is in a lot of pictures, is, in other pictures, waving a huge Trump flag at some rally.

Yes, Nassib is a Republican who voted for Trump and hangs around with MAGA Types.

And no, he’s actually not that good a player and three years will be up pretty soon.

Let’s not do flips trying desperately to spin this in a way that is palatable to the gay community. Why doesn’t he (and you) just admit and own it. By not addressing the elephant in the room, he comes across as a coward.

R558, considering this is his 6th year in the NFL, he's already passed the average NFL career span (3 years) even if he's cut tomorrow. I also don't care what one of his friends did. His friend is not him.

"This was a way to get into the headlines"

If he wanted headlines he could be hitting the talk show circuit but he hasn't done that. It's weird that we complain about athletes not coming out and then when they do we attack them by saying they only did it because they wanted publicity

[quote] He registered as a Republican on Election Day and hangs out with known MAGA types… Yes, he definitely voted for Biden!

As was explained in one of the earlier threads, he likely registered as a Republican because he is disgusted by Trump and Trump's supporters, and he wants to do his part to defeat the MAGA cult by voting for more moderate Republicans in future Republican primaries. It makes perfect sense.

[quote] he likely registered as a Republican because he is disgusted by Trump and Trump's supporters, and he wants to do his part to defeat the MAGA cult by voting for more moderate Republicans in future Republican primaries.

🙄 Good lord. Please tell us this was a joke. That is nothing more than outrageous speculation built on a wild assumption, and propped up by a ridiculous pretense. Talk about a reach . . . .

Uh, uh, he registered as a Republican because he hopes the UK will one day replace its monarchy with a republic!

Yes, and in WWII, his grandpappy joined the Nazis to save Jews! Fact!

Someone you can definitely bring home to Mom

Love that pic. Hot dude

Yes, he registered as a Republican because he loves the color red. And that’s the only reason. He’s just a stupid young boy. He does what his parents tell him. He just hangs out with MAGA types but he’s definitely not one, NO NEVER!

What other reasons except the obvious can you all come up with?

R565, the worst part is he’s actually not that hot!

And he won’t be hot when he’s drooling in the hospital room with CTE in a few years

[Quote] I also don't care what one of his friends did. His friend is not him.

How many of your friends go to Trump MAGA rallies and wave Trump flags?

I certainly don’t have any.

How about the obvious:

He actually likes Trump, supports Trump, vote for Trump.

I should be shocked that his looks are used as a justification for ignoring his behavior, but then I remember recently coming across a discussion where gay men were talking about how hot Jeffrey Dahmer was.

I have been a registered Republican for the last 46 years. I have been a lifelong Democrat. When I moved to the area that I live in I was told to register Republican because of the area and if I ever needed local politicians help I probably wouldn't get it if registered Democrat. I have never bothered to change it because I get to vote out R's that I don't like at all in the primaries. I also get all the crap mail from the R's and can see what they are doing. The last time anyone came for me to sign for someone to run for something I have apologized and told them I am really A Democrat. the look on their faces is priceless.

[quote] I have been a registered Republican for the last 46 years. I have been a lifelong Democrat.

When you say lifelong, is it because you adopted the political affiliation of your family?

yes

R572, that’s great but do you think “young, stupid, does whatever his parent say” Nassib went through all those mental gymnastics.

How about Occam’s Razor: Nassib is a Trump supporter.

DLers are hilarious.

If Nassib was holding a bloody knife over a knifed dead man, DLers would claim: he was just passing by and this random guy told Nassib to hold his knife for him.

Butt in action

Was hoping for one or two new excuses before the thread filled up to 600 posts, and I'm not disappointed!

"He wants to do his part to defeat the MAGA cult by voting for more moderate Republicans in future Republican primaries". That's a good one! I asked this in another thread, but is there such a thing anymore? Seems that you have to subscribe to Trumpism to even survive in today's Republican party. Miss Lindz even said so!

He seems very asexual to me.

Maybe he turns Stonewall Republicans on

Nassib likely has a huge dildo collection.

^ Dildo?

Calling someone a republican is a very derogatory insult.

You KNOW the hot looking, dark haired tRump guy would send nudes.

a! a! a!

Ready for camp.

[quote] Uh, uh, he registered as a Republican because he hopes the UK will one day replace its monarchy with a republic!

This is a lot more probably than the idea of NAssib voting for a "moderate" REpublican.

*probable

Smile

Coach Gruden with a few words about Nassib.

So cool

What makes a man a dumbass is what makes him a MAGAt. What makes a man a MAGAt is what makes him a dumbass.

We're about to wrap this thread up. We have enough room for at least ONE more good new excuse before the thread closes.

A historic thread for a historic milestone

Nassib sucks as a human being

Nassib is superior to the people attacking him here and a better person, so of course I choose him over them, hands down.

Amen bro

sad faces abound, r594!

Nassib supports the political party and its leader that have done all they possibly can to block the civil rights of LGBT.

His coming out as gay has the same effect as Aaron Schock coming out. FUCK YOU

It seems that Nassib hates himself and thinks he doesn’t deserve the same rights his straight friends and family have

Nassib SUCKS

FUCK the Nazi Nassib

I will buy nothing he hawks
