Interesting how this seems to happen every single time there's a large gathering of Republicans.

"Sitting whilst black was what first drew our suspicion. Then after we were called and we determined it best for him to leave the train, he simply refused to leave, AND asked questions! Judge, as you see, we had no option available other than to arrest and detain. If it wasn't for my colleague being so liberal, we'd have thrown him to the floor too, just like in our training "

The hypocrisy is what bothers me. These people scream about hating gays.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

I think the guys banging them are worse. They're fucking us all in the ass....

[–] plyth@feddit.org 6 points 9 hours ago

We all pretend that we like to work. Republicans can't stand the double standard and also pretend the rest of their lives.

The gay Nazis are gonna be hella mad when they find out xstian nazis have been sizing them up for the ovens the whole time.

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

there is a major overlap between them

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 24 minutes ago

And they'll gladly throw each other into the ovens to save themselves. Feels like beating a dead horse to bring up the "jews for Hitler" movement but here we are.

Wouldn't that be an interesting list of names, if it unfortunately ever leaked?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 14 points 13 hours ago

Leaking it wouldn't really accomplish much because they'd just get replaced by more Republicans. But if they were blackmailed, that could potentially influence policy, or make the thief rich.

This generates so many questions it could be a study. I do not have any gay friends, or know of people around me who use Grindr so I guess if someone who does could tell me.

Do these people seek "locals" (nonMAGA) of towns/cities they live, or do they seek other MAGA hidden on the platform? If they're looking for a non-MAGA partner, do they hide their leanings? Is it just not something discussed during dms before hooking up? Do they often become toxic and try to bully the partner or do they keep quiet and try to blend in with John Everyman? If they look for each other, do they have like...a tell on their profile to help signal to each other to help get swipes? Are they often top/bottom or is the demographic still case-by-case? Do they attend Grindr and mark "looking for friends" or "looking for hookups"? (Women used to use bumble a lot but like 90% of them were always marked as "just looking for friends" rather than hookups on their profiles)

This is the second time I've seen this phenomena of grindr spiking in a city where lots of MAGA congregates, but I dont think I've ever heard of assaults on homosexuals from maga people specifically after a hookup on grindr, in local/national news

This is easily the 6-7th time I've seen this exact thing. It's hilarious every single time.

(Women used to use bumble a lot but like 90% of them were always marked as “just looking for friends” rather than hookups on their profiles)

I'd just like to say, as a woman who used dating apps a lot in my young 20s, I didn't put "looking for hookups" even when that's what I wanted. If a woman puts on her profile that she's looking for hookups, some guys become scarily entitled. For some reason some people think "wanting a hookup" means "I will fuck anyone who asks." Which is... quite the bizarre leap. Add in, such profiles get inundated with messages - some guys will react poorly if ignored, while others will react poorly if responded to but then rejected. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, with some unhinged folk who have your picture, name, and know what town you live in.

I quickly realized it was a bad idea and never chose that option on a dating profile again.

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

I figured, but also now theres just straight up separate pools I think. Whe. You create an account one if the setting is specifically "looking for friends". Part of "the game" I'm glad I dont have to race around trying to play anymore tbh. (But yeah no I get totally sucks on the women's end too for the opposite reason it sucks for men)

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 25 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

It's gay (or bi) MAGA men in the closet seeking hookups with people in other towns so they don't bump into them later at the grocery store with their wife.

These are the same people that will say shit like "faggots make me sick" and some probably even go gay bashing.

Their religion and culture have damaged their brains into rejecting who they are and what they want in life and will violently lash out at others who embrace who they are.

I'd feel pity for them if they weren't such horrible humans.

My pet theory is that these bisexual conservatives are the origin of the “it’s a choice” thing. Because they do wake up every morning and choose to act straight in everyday life. And since they do it, they assume every gay person can do it. They’re just bisexual, and constantly deny that they find the same sex attractive.

Their hatred for gay people runs so deep because whenever they see an openly gay person, they see the part of themselves that they constantly deny; The part that they’re only able to deny by constantly telling themselves that it is disgusting. Because if they stop telling themselves that, they’re afraid that they’ll give into it. So whenever they see an openly gay person, the internalized “this part of you is disgusting and you should feel ashamed of it” part of them bubbles up to the surface and manifests as “just choose to be straight” homophobia.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago

100%. They feel gay, but they deny it, and live a straight life, so they thing EVERYBODY thinks like that, and gay people are just those who are too weak to resist it.

They don't understand that MOST people don't struggle with it because they aren't gay. I never made the "choice" to be straight, I just am. Gay people don't make the choice to be gay, they just are. If you are making a choice, it's because you are denying who you really are.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

I agree with this. Believing this also makes me comfortable in my straightness. I love the gay community, gay bars make the strongest drinks, and they are fun as hell to be with. They can grab my ass all they want, but I'll always reject them. My fellow gay humans, keep being fabulous baby!

You don't understand, they aren't gay, they are just men having sex with other men!

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

They just like to suck other non-gay men's cocks.

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

They're called "brojobs" for a reason.

[–] RaoulDuke85@lemmy.world 57 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

They’re just making sure they AREN’T gay by having sex with other men.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 18 minutes ago

"How do you know you don't like fucking men? Have you tried it? I know I'm super duper straight because I fuck a guy every week just to make sure I still don't like it."

Watching them process that is wild.

This is part of the reason they are going after transgender people so much. Most Republicans are in the closet and they don't want their past lovers to let the public know what they are doing behind closed doors.

It's also why they choose so many white, blonde women to be their face on the news and in the Whitehouse.

They try so hard to make their voter base think they are " MEN!!" and do "MANLY THINGS!!!" When actually most of them are crybabies and closet bisexuals.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 20 points 15 hours ago

IIRC transgender porn is by far the most popular in the deep US south.

A Republican manufacturer running for governor in Wisconsin as a conservative supporter of “family values” and President Donald Trump followed numerous sexually explicit accounts online, including a nonbinary pornography performer.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday that Bill Berrien, the CEO of Pindel Global Precision and one of two announced 2026 Republican candidates for governor, unfollowed several accounts in recent days after the newspaper asked about the matter.

Are these correlations actually indicative of mass closeted homosexuality in the maga Christian sect? It’s fun to believe that’s what it is but I have met a LOT of maga/far right homophobe types and it seems like a stretch to believe that a significant number of these people are secretly gay.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 83 points 20 hours ago (17 children)

Lots of homophobes are closeted, self-loathing gays.
