    Conservative LGBTQ+ people make the mistake of thinking their richness or whiteness outweighs their LGBTQ±ness in the eyes of their fellow conservatives.

    It does not. You are being kept around as a trophy. You are who they are referring to in “Some of my best friends are gay!”

    The instant it’s no longer expedient to have a gay friend nearby, you’ll be dumped.

    The fact that some in the LGBTQ community would support modern conservative values is kind of mind blowing

    LGBTQ conservatives, reacting to the video, said DeSantis had shown his true colors as an “anti-LGBT champion,” undermining his arguments that his support for the policies were about protecting children and parents’ rights.

      You will be surprised (or not) at how many LGBTQ people are just straight up racists that love the right wing policies. They just don’t realize (or care) that they are targets by those same groups too.

    When will conservatives from marginalised groups realise that the moment they are no longer useful or can be used as a wedge issue they will be thrown onto the pyre to burn?

    How exactly were they misled? He’s been pretty upfront about being a monster.

      Mariam-Webster definition of mislead:

      to lead in a wrong direction or into a mistaken action or belief often by deliberate deceit

      or;

      to lead astray : give a wrong impression

      Every single modern republican has been mislead.

    Oh that’s simple. Let me help you with that. If you’re LGBTQ then DeSantis wants you dead. Full stop. There are no “good ones” here, he’ll gleefully order you all shot if he can.

    A bunch of lunatics willing to die for their cause vs a bunch of rich people. Michael Corleone was right.

    Gotta love the “Well, they wouldn’t do that to me, I’m one of the good ones!” attitude these people take. Like, you weren’t ‘mislead’ by DeathSentence, he told you exactly what he was going to do. Just because you thought you were safe because of the hat you wear doesn’t mean you didn’t know this was coming…
