Good, it's so weird that fellow gay or lesbian Republicans are working with a party that would only seek to do us harm and limit our rights!

- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

It reminds me of when Caitlyn Jenner ran for governor of California in 2021 as a republitard. How clueless can you fucking be?
he was also running as the lt governor along side winsome sears, who ran one of the most vile and homophobic/transphobic campaigns ever.
and judging from his issues page (https://archive.ph/p6Nlx) which mentions nothing about lgbtq rights but does mention the "leftist indoctrination from trans people", it's not surprising.
I disagree, I think good leaders like Mamdani and Sanders should try and win primaries from both parties rather than compete in the first-past-the-post big elections where a major party usually wins.
The best possible world is one in which all political parties support our rights. Its not a mark against one's character to try to make the worse party less bad.
I hold no ire for gay republicans or socialist democrats. The two party duopoly is an oppressive system. Engaging with that system in some way is largely unavoidable.
