Zeteo reports from the GOP convention in Dallas, where Trump offered Americans a fake bribe while dismissing the real pain he’s causing them. Some Republicans already have a ‘flight to catch.’

        Nothing left to do there after they crashed Grindr I guess

        Right there, silly.

        Calling homophobic people gay is a) using gay as an insult, homophobic. b) blaming minorities for their own oppression, homophobic. c) creating a narrative where straight people never need to question their biases or prejudices because they know they aren’t gay, and therefore can’t be homophobic (which is a homophobic narrative)

        Do better next time, hon

            Feel the need to stalk post histories instead of defending your words, a hit dog will holler. Besides you literally just had a comment removed from a pizzacake thread today, and considering the comments that didn’t get removed, I think we both know you’re the real incel.

            Sorry if insulting Sam Hyde offends you, I know your type idolized him.

                ahh, can identify him in a meme, but now it’s time to play dumb

                Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

                Is your non-reply to my explanation of your homophobia a tacit admission then? Jumping straight to stalking and personal attacks kinda confirms it.

      This is more about hypocrisy than homophobia. These are people pushing anti LGBTQ+ legislation whilst being closeted themselves.

      Were they open about their sexuality no one would mind what the fuck they were doing on grindr.

        A minority of homophobes are gay, focusing on them and ignoring the majority of plain bigots is wrong.

          It’s a minority of gay homophobes that is pushing anti LGBTQ legislation which is the problem, otherwise what their particular taste in sexuality is perfectly fine.
