LGBTQ conservatives say they feel misled by DeSantis - Lemmy.world

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?
Always too late.
I feel the same about LGBTQ.
there is no lgbtq agenda, but there is a desantis agenda. You can feel however you want just know that not all feelings are valid.
Do please explain how the gays mislead you.
I never expected the leopard to eat MY face
It's wild how much this happens, isn't it?

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.

Wealth does matter more; they just have less than the bigots.
How exactly were they misled? He's been pretty upfront about being a monster.
He wasn't hardcore anti-queer until the last few years.
Yep. He probably couldn't care about that community until he realized that hating it got ratings up with hateful conservatives.
The whole GOP used hate-based politics for decades. Absolutely none of this is shiny and new!
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...
Conservative LGBTQ+ : The wrong people are being hurt.
"'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party."
Reminds me of that Trump supporter who whined that "He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."
LGBTQ conservatives continue to be the dumbest people I can imagine.
Association of German National Jews - Wikipedia

They were in the same place then as conservative LGBT+ people are now. There was no Final Solution yet. They didn’t think they were those kind of Jews. And if the GOP gets their way and queer people start getting rounded up, they will realize they were those kind of queer people.
The difference is that there Jews for Hitler didn't have the benefit of history being written already. So they were actually less stupid.
It’s not the only genocide in history, and it’s not the only one that had quislings either.

These people are the fffn stupidest people alive. How have they been mislead?? They literally vote for a party that...used hate-based politics against LGBT+ people for decades already???

What in the ever loving fuck are you on about. DeSantis banned Child Sex books, and told parents they deserve to know what their children are being taught.

What has that got to do with being: Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual?

“Child sex books”

What, in your own words, does this mean to you?

There are books teaching kids how to masturbate and give oral sex. I do not think any of this belongs in schools.
There are venoms capable of killing 20 men in a single bite. I do not think any of this belongs in schools.
Just because they are gay doesn’t mean they aren’t idiot fascists
I think people sometimes fail to realize the only reason LGBTQ folks are assumed to be liberal/left-leaning is because that’s the only side that hasn’t been advocating for at least light genocide for ages. It has nothing to do with being non-straight, and everything to do with historical/cultural context. So of course there are gay fascists. You can find idiots and assholes in any group.
LGBTQ conservatives in the US are absolute morons.
Add blacks to that list… And Hispanic… And women… Actually white people too since they are all just being used to gift money from.

Dean-Bailey, who is openly gay, said she was initially drawn to DeSantis’s candidacy by his criticism of pandemic-era lockdowns and mask mandates and his plans for the economy. “He really set himself apart as like, this future of the Republican Party,” she said. “This is somebody who can really kind of cross the political divide and work on those issues that are important.”

Yeah, DeSantis really became the evil he opposed
That’s what happens when you’re part of a Slugs For Salt movement…
