But, but his speech wasn't anti-Muslim enough for the Trump brigade!
What the name of Imam ?
Excuse you?!
Just quoting a progressive gay liberal pointing out the hypocrisy of his own side.
Er, no. He's a right-wing libertarian type who pals around with transphobes and racists.
He describes himself as a liberal. Perhaps to this new wave of liberals we see these days standing up for free speech is some strange 'right-wing libertarian' thing. Shame.
He describes himself as a "classical liberal" and he hates progressivism. "Classical liberal" is basically another term for right-wing libertarianism in America, in how it's generally used.
He appears to hang around with people like Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla. Joe Rogan has said some very nasty things about trans people and Adam Carolla has repeatedly made racist, homophobic and sexist remarks, which he refuses to apologize for.
Uncle Toms?! So would you say any LGBT person that say supports Trump, or is a Republican, or has right-wing views, is an Uncle Tom?
I detest Obama, but I heard the speech and I couldn't find anything to pick at. Sounded unusually reasonable for the man.
A lot of the time, they are. Not all the time, though. I wouldn't call Condoleezza Rice that, for example, because such things have to be looked at on an individual basis before you make judgments. (She would probably be viewed as a leftist progressive or whatever by today's right-wing!) I wouldn't call a black or gay person who is simply a fiscal conservative that, either. But when you support people who typically hate you and even surround yourself with them and pal around with them, especially without calling them out on their bigotry, that's what you are. It's usually the ones who are the most "normal" by the standards of bigots who are able to get away with it. They're usually upper middle class or otherwise have wealth, downplay the social reality of inequality and seek to assimilate into the system rather than change it.
People can think what they want. But social context does matter. There is obviously still a huge problem with racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. and it's gotten worse in recent years. The right-wing has gone even further right. It was nicer when we were just dealing with neocons, who at least tended to be more socially liberal although they are imperialist, but now the American right is becoming more and more neo-fascist as time goes on.
Yep, that will win folks over....
Plenty of Christians (and Muslims, or at least Muslim authorities) certainly claim that LGBT who don't see anything wrong with being openly and actively LGBT are not innocents.
Per some religious sects, gays are not innocent.
It's even worse when it's a gay man saying that ****. So he has even more to be ashamed of!
