    Not necessarily? The dude is gay, LGBT+ and queer covers a lot more than gay. Maybe he just hates the other ones.

        There’s weirdly a lot of fractures within the LGBTQ+ community, there’s a joke that the letters are “in order of preference” and quite a lot of the gay community doesn’t recognise trans people, or thinks Bi folks are just gay but won’t admit it and things like that.

        An ex of mine was bi and I got exposed to a lot of this shit because of the amount of shit she got from some of her lesbian friends over dating a man. It really shocked me because it’s completely against your own interests to become the very thing that’s opressed you and your kin, yet here we are - gay republicans.

        Why are you asking me that question? Ask the dude in the article, he’s the one who believes it.

      living over 40 years as a gay man has taught me plenty to hate the other ones too. lol

      Not a bad take. Identity is definitely a spectrum of sorts. We all have limits to our acceptance level.
