The best thing about the queer community is that they are just like us and any other community and every community has their shit bags.
I’m just always extra sad when I see Republican women / queer folk, because they are actively hurting their own community. Being a woman and voting to have a rapist have a say over your body is just mind boggling to me.
I think it’s best to not think of them as hurting their own community but rather as intentionally spurning community with those with whom they share experiences. There are queer republicans who are just the idiots, but for these types it really feels like they’re angry about being different and have decided to take it out on those who have built community around those traits.
I’m reminded of Roy Cohn who insisted he wasn’t a homosexual because homosexuals are weak and pitiable, it didn’t matter that he exclusively had sex with men, he saw no issue in purging the queer people from the government
