I’m always asked how I can be a gay republican. A lot of gay republicans get this question and respond with wanting a strong economy, low taxes, or secure border. But that’s entirely missing the point of their question. They do not care about our policy positions. When people ask how we can be gay and republican, they’re asking how we can be gay and support a party that still has in its coalition people that openly do not want us and do not think we deserve rights. My response: that’s exactly why you should want me to be a gay republican! If you truly believed every election determined if our rights were on the line, that there was a 50/50 chance in any given election that you would be free or not free (newsflash they aren’t, but that’s a different conversation), you are simply not going to solve that by hoping Democrats win every time. America is an evenly split country. The parties will alternate power. There will never be a universe where Democrats or Republicans are in power forever. You should WANT the GOP to change its views. That only happens if gay people start making their presence known INSIDE the party. And you know what? We are! 60% of republicans support gay marriage and gay adoption. The GOP removed anti-gay language from its platform. The first gay cabinet member was a republican. The Supreme Court decision protecting you from getting fired for being gay was written by a republican-appointed Justice. That didn’t just happen out of nowhere. There are thousands of gay republicans working in government, the party, media, and social media doing hard work changing the GOP with little recognition and being berated as traitors the entire time. So if it’s so confusing how I can be gay and republican, it’s not because you’re concerned for gay rights, its because you’re a democrat. And that’s TOTALLY FINE. You’re allowed to be a democrat if you have liberal views. But you do not get to say you’re the only one cares about gay rights.

Crazy. I was routinely told that the Trump administration was sidelining the opposition to work with the Chavistas, and every time I said this exact thing was always going to happen, it just takes more than two second, I was somehow the dupe.

It’s almost hard to hate the ending of ME3 when it also included incredible cutscenes like this

This season of Traitors being like “what if we just slut out the men”

Hey @AmbitEnergy stop screwing us over

Darlene Graham must answer if her brother was gay. How dare you ask if Abdul El-Sayed’s mom and sister are in a terrorist group.

I almost drove my car off the road listening to an episode of the Fresh Air podcast, they were talking about Mitt Romney being great in a lot of executive roles and with a straight face said he should just be in charge of everything, and @asymmetricinfo had to remind them how the timeline would’ve been much better if he were elected in 2012 and the other hosts were like “oh no, not like that.”

Spent $600k in the primary supporting Paxton, now endorsing his opponent. This is the real way democrats rig elections.

Still think about how in the Latino episode of Glee, Santana was upset that Mr. Shuester glamorized stereotypes of Latin culture and couldn’t understand the soul of it. So for her big showpiece song, she and Ricky Martin sang……La Isla Bonita by Madonna.

Random thought. Andromeda was a good game, people just refused to look past its glitchy rollout. Yes, the faces were still janky even after the patches. The combat was awesome. It had a great finale fight. The world’s were gorgeous. It deserved a redemption.

I’m going to be sick

Not to be grotesque but like…aren’t half of them dead???

Women-in-men’s-fields

They do always say candidate quality is which would you rather have a beer with

It’s easy to call politicians stupid, but do you have the courage to call primary voters stupid too
