My supervisor is a lesbian who proudly introduces people to her wife, and she is as rabid a Trumper as I've ever met. I've tried to introduce her to the "Leopards Eating People's Faces Party" concept but she doesn't understand the point. She has somehow concluded that it is Republicans who have fought for and won gay rights (like the right to marry that she's a beneficiary of) while Democrats want to take those rights away. I don't have any idea how somebody gets to a mental state like that - I can't accuse her of drinking the Kool-Aid because no Republican media says anything like that.

She really hates black people so her basic conservative stance is at least understandable. Except that she talks loudly about how she wants to bang the black guy that delivers our water bottles.

So, much of what you stated makes my head spin, maybe it’s due to the fact that it’s early but I highly doubt that’s the reason.

"walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children"

someone's projecting

meanwhile, my family: "just don't be gay for the next 3 and a half years, we don't need to leave"

... Right, I'm sure they definitely leave office as scheduled and I'm sure with how quickly things are progressing I'll still be around to see them do so. Yep. Definitely. 👍

Don't be gay? I bet you became straight as soon as you heard that magical sentence

ws:Bible (King James)/Leviticus#Chapter 20

12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

It says nothing about women who have sex with women, or men having sex with men while in a standing (or perhaps seated) position. Also, Leviticus doesn't use the word "homosexual" or "homosexuality" much less condemn it.

This fake-preacher lies about what the Bible says.

As an LGBTQ+ American, I urge such evangelicals to execute themselves.

That they go to North Korea and denounce the dictator, go to Afghanistan and denounce Islam as a heresy, or to Juarez and denounce, by name, cartel leaders as parasites who hate Mexicans more than Trump supporters.

Normal people don't look at others and think "they want our children [sexually]." 🤮 I'm unaware of any proof that LGBTQ+ folks prey on kids at higher rates than cishet predators. They need to check this guy's computer and keep him away from children...

As far as I have been able to find, the material published on there being a higher per capita amount of preds in the LGBTQ community have been discredited, and most of these claims come from a small number of papers, largely published years ago, by conservative groups pay

Historically, the demographic most likely to sexually assault children is straight men.

Does that mean we should kill all the straight men?
