I knew a gay republican couple. They both cheated on each other constantly. They didn't do anything pro-gay or even remotely lgbt themed. They were actively ashamed of who they were. Both from affluent families, so that makes sense. One of them got me super drunk, and then took advantage of me while his partner was out of town. These are not good people.

Ah, the Hateful Gay Type. Met a few of them in my life, all Trump supporters too. Never made any damn sense to me. Like they are driven by being a bitter piece of shit.

I get the feeling they’re just normal hateful people who happen to be gay and are angry about it and committed to making it everyone’s problem

Gay people are just like all other people.

I think the implication is that "angry gay" is a distinct category with traits that aren't purely the result of being angry or being gay.

Also I think people get way too hung up on the idea that being "normal" is good, so not being normal must be bad. Since that probably can't be fixed, I think it's better to use the word "typical" instead of normal because it's not so loaded.

Good point. I've changed it.

hehe. You're implying gay people aren't regular people.

I know two married men who are openly and claim to be happily gay, adopted 4 children, but are so pro-trump and all that crazy shit. Idk how they can be like that. As a gay woman, it's so confusing.

As a straight guy, I'm also confused.
