@LuFins-Dad Since both president candidates seem to be the same towards gays, then it would just come down to "non-gay" issues I guess, right?

That makes sense. The numbers in the polls for gay men seem to match with the overall polls then.

@jon-nyc why? Just curious.

Because Trump's not anti-gay at all. Now, on the other hand, he's not the most friendly admin towards trans-gendered, but A LOT of gay men don't have an affinity for the Transfascism that going on....

Yes there is a fairy tale progressives tell themselves that oppressed people have the secret knowledge and empathy of and for other oppressed people. But it doesn't turn out that way. Actually I suspect transgendered people are just far out enough that no other oppressed group will ever have much desire to be associated with them.

Another fairy tale is that oppressed people all feel the same way about stuff.

There's plenty of example of gays standing up for transgendered rights.

Well, it's central to the culture wars that conservatives love the idea that people are individuals and don't cohere with stereotypical belief patterns based on their "identity". So you might want to look elsewhere for the people who tell the fairy tale that all oppressed people think alike. I mean what idea do you think intersectionality is founded on?

It just seems like a queer thing to do.

I don’t think being gay makes one necessarily on the left

Perfect example in Israel, this guy in bibis government is openly gay and is a right wing wing nut

But maybe it’s not the same here as in the US, Israel, with all its political controversy has always been pretty gay tolerant

Rick Grenell, former acting DNI and former ambassador to Germany is openly gay.

I just remember hearing how Trump was not only an anti-Semite (despite having Jared as a son-in-law) and anti-gay.

I don't even know what intersectionality means and what's more I'm not looking it up.

It sounds like more American gobbledygook to me.

[Horace]

It's the idea that all oppressed identities should exist under the banner of the left, which is where they all intersect in their struggle for utopian equality for all.

I'm totally sick of the American left.

If I had to vote, I think I'd throw myself down a well.

As if I needed to say it, this in no way expresses any support whatsoever for the American right, who are a complete bunch of twats.

I don't know if he is or isn't an anti-semite, but saying he's not only because he has a Jewish SIL doesn't mean anything.

Ok. How about this, then...

He officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Something Israel has asked the US to do since the 50s, something no president before Trump was willing to do. He is bringing about peace in the middle East, something no US president was capable of before him. That's just two of many things he's done that proves he's not anti Semitic.

It's just more of the same shit the demo rats/left/Socialists throw at him. Don't call someone a name unless you can back it up with proof. It's typical of the Left- "you're racist. Now prove you're not."

State of the art leftist thought is that you're a racist and it's impossible that you're not.

Maybe it's because he did something no other President has done...Moved America's embassy to Jerusalem.
