Guys, he not only was a Republican, he was a Baptist preacher. He aligned himself with these two LGBTQ hater groups.
Maybe he joined the GOP and the Baptist denomination in an attempt to shield his lifestyle, but he willingly belonged to these two groups which both actively HATE LGBTQ and condemn his very lifestyle.
I have a lot of sympathy for people who feel they must disguise their true selves in order to protect themselves…and I respect that he tried to reach out and offer support to others online.
But I’m hearing some very disturbing ‘rumors’ that he posted hateful, stalking, character assassination of particular people online. And accusations of child porn.
I’m going to reserve my sympathy for him for now, until the whole truth is known.
I don’t know why people on here are grandstanding and white knighting for this douche, when so many people who are hurt by the GOP actually need our sympathy and compassion.
I have zero compassion or emotions for assholes that actively support hate organizations.
I feel like I can do both severely criticize his actions while defending his sexuality. I can also be understanding about his wanting to write erotica or crossdress but not necessarily the way he went about it.
I don’t have the patience for hateful bigots but there are aspects of this story that have historically been weaponized against us LGBT+ that need attention.
Except you can’t. Compassion and help is a finite resource in this world, because we have a finite amount of time and resources to help people. Evey second you waste it on assholes, you’re wasting your time on earth.

Except that I’m willing and able and I will. You don’t get to make decisions for me and I ask that you don’t try.
Fair enough, you do you.
Yes, it usually goes without saying.
I’ll let you in on a little secret, people are fucking dumb and just want something to be outraged about.
To me, all of this shows just how insidious the right wing conservative mindset is. It’s self destructive as well and societally crippling.
