Samurai Sanders posted:Recently I read poll data that says Republican voter opposition to gay marriage is dropping and is only at like 50% now. I'm still a little dumbfounded that the right gave up that fight so easily, when just a few years ago it was being sold as an existential crisis for human society and whatever. many conservatives (running the entire spectrum) have pivoted to heralding log cabin/LGBTQ republicans as proof of diversity within their ranks. oh, and there are plenty of LGBTQ people that are abject shitheads that fall right in line with the new party talking points

From his wikipedia page: In 2006, Tinsley was arrested twice for driving while intoxicated, once in August and again in December, both Class A misdemeanors. After the December incident, he attacked the sentencing judge, Roderick McGillivray, in several of his comics.

Most Log Cabin Republicans are affluent white men, and that's been an issue with the LGBT community for a while. Queer women, queer non-white people, and trans people still tend to have a lot of problems that affluent white queer men now largely don't.

Starshark posted:What? What'd she get fired for? Sally Quinn posted:Our son Quinn Bradlee is marrying Pary Williamson in Washington on April 10. My husband's granddaughter Greta Bradlee is getting married the same day in California. In the past few days there have been a spate of negative stories, both online and in print, about the "dueling weddings." It's been hurtful to all four of these wonderful young people. This "dueling" characterization couldn't be further from the truth. This ran in the Style section of our capital's paper of record. One of the most embarrassing things ever printed.

It's an incredibly self-serving blogpost of a column entry and not up to the standards of the Style section, evidently. But good ol' drunky gets away with worse.

There's definitely a younger, hipper right-wing that's slowly replacing the moral majority of the 80s. It's the libertarian/socially liberal crowd that is more accepting. But only barely, in many cases. They're still bigoted and don't really want to think about icky queers, and just tolerate you in the strictest sense. It's enough that they don't murder you, so you better not dare to ask for anything more. Just tell everywhere how diverse and accepting conservatives are.

Speculation that he’s an alcoholic is just that. No, that couldn't "just happen" to anyone. Getting arrested doesn't "just happen" to most people, especially old white men. And yes, having a DUI doesn't prove you're an alcoholic, but it is a strong indicator of alcoholism.

True for the most part, but I have a couple of younger gay friends who parrot RWM points, like "give Trump a chance; he said he'd protect us." Reminding them of how he promised to appoint SCOTUS judges to reverse the "shocking" marriage equality ruling doesn't impress them, they just dismiss it as campaign rhetoric. Also how he sought and received support from the evangelical types who'd like to put folks like us into camps, or else just murder us all.

Elmo (or, someone in an Elmo costume) ran as a candidate against Theresa May in London, so this could well be real news. (I think he actually turned out to be an MRA though, so, probably not.)
