    I dont see it as making fun of gay people, it’s highlighting the hypocrisy that amongst the right, these men can’t be happy about themselves being gay, and they must have beards to be accepted.

      Or they fear being ostracized from their family and friends for being themselves, but fuck them since they’re afraid to come out and lose everyone they know or even be assaulted, right?

      Rationalize it however you need to (lord knows those closeted republican gays do hahaha, yeah?) but tbh “haha gays” is still not the best punchline ever. Honestly at best it’s hack. Got any good “haha trump look liek cheto” material on deck?

        Maybe they shouldn’t perpetuate prosecution of gay people? No one was laughing at gay people, get that chip off your shoulder

          afraid to come out and lose everyone they know or even be assaulted,

          I envy the world you live in where everything is so easy as to “just not bro.”

          “Just leave the cult bro fuck your family and everything you’ve ever known who cares if the members assault or kill you just be yourself™”

          Hop on grindr, find a few, and tell them to quit being cowards. Maybe you’ll help.

            No one said it was easy, take a deep breath, were not fighting you for you, were not making fun of gay people.

              I mean, if you’re making fun of closeted repressed gay people who are republicans, you’re still making fun of closeted repressed gay people. And the punchline wasn’t “haha republican,” it was “haha gay.”

              I understand the rationalization that it’s ok to make fun of them for being gay because they’re assholes, but it’s still making fun of them for being gay.
