I really do wish the headline had pointed out the hypocrisy on her part and not with phrasing that reads as being pro-LGBT is bad.

I wouldn’t call it “support” with out learning more.

He owns a bar. He’s a businessman. Who makes profit of vice. And who, apparently, gets off groping tits at a family theater

Same deal with target- neither give a flying fig about lgbtq issues…. They just want to make money. Target by selling merch, this guy by selling a burlesque show.

LGBT support is framed in the context of showing how much of a giant lying cunt Boebert is. I didn't at all take any inference to it being framed as a mistake or flaw in a negative context from this article or the title. People seem to get rabidly defensive on every position, everywhere, all of the time now.

Plenty of conservatives make money off of progressives, just by targeting than doesn't mean you are one

I didn't go past the paywall, but I'm not seeing anything against LGBTQ+ people in the headline. I read it like when some male "family values" politician is caught shaking up with another man - it really is the hypocrisy that's the issue.

Like many of her ilk, Bobert doesn't really give a shit about the things she screams about; it's political theater designed whip up the base, and this situation makes that obvious to anyone paying attention.

Double-edged sword: The title is belittling to LGBT readers, but also Boobert's simple-minded base will use this as reason to drop support for her.

100% this. Things won't change until we drag out the guillotines.

You're not looking hard enough. She's secretly in on the pedo cabal!

I mean, probably the only thing she's actually good for is groping in a theater. I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Or undercover hero.

They're pretty much just political evangelicals

Pretend to be someone to take your money, get power, and laugh as they get to lie to you

That excuse only goes so far, though. Some aspects of her public image may just be an act, but she’s doing real harm.

Okay but there's a bit of a gap between "He's extra polite to the waitstaff when he thinks there are cameras watching" and "she publicly decries drag queens as child sex criminals but commits sex crimes in front of children with someone who owns a drag bar". I agree that it's a difference of degree rather than kind but differences of degree matter.

That's the whole point.

Say whatever will get the conservative people angry.

For decades stirring up fear and hatred for gay and lesbian people was a sure vote winner for the right wing.

Once gay marriage and relationships became acceptable (relatively, I am not dismissing the hardships LGB people still face) in much of the west, they needed a new group to focus that hate to rile up their supporters and suddenly all the hateful shit was shifted to trans people.

Most that spout this hatred to get elected, do not believe it.

Hypocrisy is a tool for the GQP.

Is no one else going to say it? Okay, fine I'll say it.

He kept coming from that handy during the musical too.

I think you're being far too generous. She's only done with MAGA because it's getting less popular and her seat is in danger. She has to appeal to a broader group of people to get elected. She never believed the crap she said (look at her personal life before going for office), she was just using it. He didn't make her see any light - she remains as self-serving as ever, and she never gave a crap about LGBTQ+ issues in the first place.

No. She just wanted to get a piece of ass in public and couldn't find a repressed evangelical to do public stuff. She's still batshit insane and honestly that dude needs to learn not to stick his dick in crazy.

Well, like most women, she thinks conservative men are undatable

Not to her. Most Republicans don't give a single shit about any amount of hypocrisy from their own. The guy that owns the bar is going to be in some shit though. His LGBTQ+ and ally customer base cares.

I won't be going to his bar, but it's not like I ever go all the way to fucking Aspen anyway. There are lots better places that are lots less full of ultra-rich douches.
