Came across a truck in a southern town covered in stickers of anime traps (some were borderline hentai), gay pride stickers, and a whole lot of gun stickers. They had a bumper sticker that said something like "the only thing straight about me is my shooting".
Back in the Trump days I saw a documentary on YouTube about the rise in LGBTQ+ gun culture.
Basically, most of the interviewed folks reasoned: I’d rather not need or use a gun, but the people who want me dead all have them, so I want to protect myself. Obviously, there’s also just people in that community who enjoy guns regardless. Both are perfectly valid reasons.
We have ample evidence of the sexual abuse of enslaved women - you can see that in the skin color of most black folks who live in the US.
We know they raped their male slaves too, but it doesn’t produce physical evidence. But a lot of the obsession with the size of black men’s penises starts in the mid 1800s.
The Delectable Negro is a fascinating read about disturbingly erotic cannibalism of enslaved folks. They ate Nat Turner after they put his rebellion down, and the descriptions are just weird.
If you use Tumblr to get pictures of handsome working men / military men / etc, you see a lot of this crap coming from the same accounts sharing hot dudes. Gay men decrying "wokeism" and hating on trans people and immigrants.
Being gay unfortunately does not correllate with intelligence.
Yeah no kidding, otherwise Log Cabin Republicans wouldn't exist. I mean why else would an LGBT+ person vote Republican unless they're just plain stupid?
I know, but it's like... how do you hold those three things as values dear enough to you to wave flags from the back of your truck and not see the dissonance.
It's like there's a town near me and there's one house that has a big Trump/Vance flag and two Trump/Vance banners on the fence in front of their porch.
i still think we should start satirizing flags, and making nonsense flags that don't actually exist, but appear to exist, not unlike e pluribus anus, although that applies to the show community, so it doesn't count.
There's got to be all kinds of stupid shit we can think up.
I think this would be less surprising if we didn't imagine LGBTQ people were one homogeneous block of political beliefs and opinions. Some of my most right-wing friends are gay.
Ahem. Mark Robinson used illicit funds gained from defrauding families who entrusted his wife to take care of their children to obtain a pretty nice truck.
