LGBTQ conservatives in the US are absolute morons.
Add blacks to that list... And Hispanic.... And women... Actually white people too since they are all just being used to gift money from.
Oh that's simple. Let me help you with that. If you're LGBTQ then DeSantis wants you dead. Full stop. There are no "good ones" here, he'll gleefully order you all shot if he can.
These people are the fffn stupidest people alive. How have they been mislead?? They literally vote for a party that...used hate-based politics against LGBT+ people for decades already???

But surely the Leopards Eating Faces Party would never eat MY face!
Conservative LGBTQ+ people make the mistake of thinking their richness or whiteness outweighs their LGBTQ+-ness in the eyes of their fellow conservatives.
It does not. You are being kept around as a trophy. You are who they are referring to in "Some of my best friends are gay!"
The instant it's no longer expedient to have a gay friend nearby, you'll be dumped.
Wealth does matter more; they just have less than the bigots.
Just another example of “pick me”.

I think people sometimes fail to realize the only reason LGBTQ folks are assumed to be liberal/left-leaning is because that's the only side that hasn't been advocating for at least light genocide for ages. It has nothing to do with being non-straight, and everything to do with historical/cultural context. So of course there are gay fascists. You can find idiots and assholes in any group.
LGBTQ conservatives continue to be the dumbest people I can imagine.
They were in the same place then as conservative LGBT+ people are now. There was no Final Solution yet. They didn't think they were those kind of Jews. And if the GOP gets their way and queer people start getting rounded up, they will realize they were those kind of queer people.
The difference is that there Jews for Hitler didn't have the benefit of history being written already. So they were actually less stupid.
It’s not the only genocide in history, and it’s not the only one that had quislings either.
Reminds me of that Trump supporter who whined that "He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."
I never expected the leopard to eat MY face
Is that community over here yet?
Be the change you want to see! Start it up!
It's wild how much this happens, isn't it?
How exactly were they misled? He's been pretty upfront about being a monster.
Mariam-Webster definition of mislead:
to lead in a wrong direction or into a mistaken action or belief often by deliberate deceit
or;
to lead astray : give a wrong impression
Every single modern republican has been mislead.
He wasn't hardcore anti-queer until the last few years.
He's a Republican, did they think he was their friend?
A lot of them probably did because the right openly accepted non-white and LGBTQ+ people into their ranks when they all banded together to oppose the lockdowns. They were absolutely right to do so then, but now the pendulum of oppression has swung the other way, so they'll abandon the right and go to the left until the left does something else insane.
We desperately need an independent third party in the U.S.
They absolutely did not accept non-white and LGBTQ people during COVID, the COVID era was the Trump Administration. Lockdowns were a Trump policy and it was specifically because he didn't do enough early enough to contain infections.
The whole GOP used hate-based politics for decades. Absolutely none of this is shiny and new!
Yep. He probably couldn't care about that community until he realized that hating it got ratings up with hateful conservatives.
The fact that some in the LGBTQ community would support modern conservative values is kind of mind blowing
LGBTQ conservatives, reacting to the video, said DeSantis had shown his true colors as an “anti-LGBT champion,” undermining his arguments that his support for the policies were about protecting children and parents’ rights.
You will be surprised (or not) at how many LGBTQ people are just straight up racists that love the right wing policies. They just don’t realize (or care) that they are targets by those same groups too.
Conservative LGBTQ+ : The wrong people are being hurt.
Everytime I hear of an LGBTQ conservative I remember the words of Treebeard.
LGBT people are people... and people are fucking shitheads. Yet another entry in the Leopard's Eating People's Faces Party...
When will conservatives from marginalised groups realise that the moment they are no longer useful or can be used as a wedge issue they will be thrown onto the pyre to burn?
Always too late.
Gotta love the "Well, they wouldn't do that to me, I'm one of the good ones!" attitude these people take. Like, you weren't 'mislead' by DeathSentence, he told you exactly what he was going to do. Just because you thought you were safe because of the hat you wear doesn't mean you didn't know this was coming...
That's what happens when you're part of a Slugs For Salt movement...
Dean-Bailey, who is openly gay, said she was initially drawn to DeSantis’s candidacy by his criticism of pandemic-era lockdowns and mask mandates and his plans for the economy. “He really set himself apart as like, this future of the Republican Party,” she said. “This is somebody who can really kind of cross the political divide and work on those issues that are important.”
Yeah, DeSantis really became the evil he opposed
A bunch of lunatics willing to die for their cause vs a bunch of rich people. Michael Corleone was right.
"'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party."
