    Liberal types love to weaponise homosexuality and pretend conservatives right wingers are secretly all repressed gay people.

    Sure maybe one or two prominent examples might be, but the overwhelming majority are just hateful shits.

    The most annoying thing is the tired line of “I’m not being homophobic only pointing out hypocrisy.”

      It also frames the idea that they’re like that because they’re secretly gay, like they’re a bad person for being gay. Which when you say it out loud that way actually sounds pretty homophobic as fuck.

      Also accusing people of being gay like it’s somehow a bad thing is pretty shitty as well.

      It of course manages to absolve them of any of accusations that they might be homophobic. They aren’t gay, and it’s only self-hating gays that are homophobic after all.

        I mean, Lindsey Graham was secretly gay, and was definetly a bad person.
        Then again, George Santos is publically gay, and also a bad person.
        Maybe just Republicans are bad people, even if they’re gay?
