Cool, so you found what.....6 people who might possibly be gay or like some strange stuff? And that then means that all "right-wingers" are the same? So if I was to find say 6 instances of a left-winger being a pedo, does that mean that all left-wingers are pedos?
Welcome to Lemmy, where anecdotal evidence apparently = facts and people pull truth out of their asses.
Queen Gertrude: The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Homophobia is absolute rife in the left-wing community btw.
Which is why you provided examples. I wonder if there is an explicit historical difference in party platforms.
Was is it Clinton who ignored the AIDS epidemic until it became a crisis and told a supposed friend to fuck off when they were dying?
You actually want me to provide 6 examples of left-wing homophobia, or pedos, or anything else like that? You seriously don't think that any left-wing people do bad things?
The point is that there's no "right wingers are all closet homosexuals", just like there's no "left wingers are all closet pedos". How did you not get that? Are there some, even lots, on both sides? Absolutely.
You’re right in that individual examples prove nothing, but the evidence suggests something larger at play.
I’ve provided examples of individual and institutional homophobia - you’ve failed to even suggest evidence of the former. I would not deny that individual “left wingers” (idk if you distinguish between leftists and liberals in the same way I do) that are homophobic - but I don’t think I’ve seen any evidence that progressive ideologies are institutionally homophobic. Feel free to provide some evidence though!
But your "evidence" isn't indicative of all "right-wingers". It's some small study of "homophobes". Many on the left are homophobes, seemingly more and more these days as "trans rights" and gay rights don't mix very well.

Boo-boo, I’m a trans man. Telling me that being trans is homophobic is not the move.
Holy shit, they gave this dumbass a PhD?
Amazing that your same source (different author) has an article praising John Money. The guy who made David Reimer pretend to have sex with his brother to convince him that he was a girl. That’s fascinating - usually “TERFs” like to bring up Money to condemn “the trans movement.”
I didn't tell you that, but good try.
I said that many of the "trans rights" and trans ideologies are distinctly anti-gay, due to what I pointed out - "genital preferences" and so on.
Gay = Same SEX attraction. Nothing else. "Gender identity" plays no part in it. No matter what gender you identify as, if you are a FEMALE a gay man will not be attracted to you. Saying that if they won't date you because of your sex/genitals makes them transphobic is homophobic.
Idk, the guys blowing up my phone on Grindr right now seem pretty attracted. Chubby bears with hella body hair are a prime currency in the gay world, let me tell you.
Like, you know one believes that “trans people are conversion therapy” or “genital preferences” shit IRL right? Most people are ya know, normal. Everyone has preferences for who they feel like dating, whatever.
Some gay guys haven’t been interested because of my equipment; other guys have been very eager; most are in the middle. I don’t share dick pics without consent, but I can tell you my little soldier is pretty impressive when he stands for attention.
Like again, you’ve wriggled your way so far away from even trying to make a point. See, at least TERFs can be convincing with the claims of being feminists. This is such a transparent ass pull; you don’t actually give a shit about homophobia.
Online dating apps are irrelevant. When they find out you're biologically female they will lose all interest if they're gay males.
100% incorrect. The current "trans rights" push comes at the expense of gay rights, as I have said and as I have pointed out specific examples of. Women's rights have come at the expense of "trans rights" as well. When you're taking away someone elses rights because you think you deserve more rights, you're on the wrong path.
You are assuming that I haven’t already completed the act. I’m not going to bore you with the details of my hot sweaty mansex, unless that’s something you’re into. (Tbh, this wouldn’t be the place.)
Yeah, your second paragraph isn’t even a thought. You’re stringing together buzzwords and catchphrases like a parrot. You’re not going to manage to play a convincing feminist dumbass.
Gay men aren't sexually attracted to females. Any men you're sleeping with aren't homosexual men.
Your inability to string together a competent counter argument doesn't make me a dumbass.
If you want dick pics just ask me nicely.
I definitely don't, but thanks I guess. I can look at my own forearm skin still on my arm if I want.
As a trans man, any men you sleep with are not homosexuals unless they're using you as a type of beard, because homosexuals are same sex attracted men. Your sex is not male.
It’s cute that you assume I had surgery.
Yeah, gay men sure do appreciate my beard. I’ve been too lazy to trim for a bit, thanks for the reminder.
You’re a trans man, according to yourself. Or did you lie?
Classic right wing "divide and conquer" tactics, try to drive a wedge between trans and gay people, pick off the trans people first, then come for the gays next. This nonsense is exactly why the LGBT acronym was made in the first place, because we (the vast majority of us, anyway) stand together in solidarity and reject this idiotic nonsense.
Completely wrong.
Gay is same sex attraction. Nothing at all to do with gender and especially not gender identity.
Trans people and advocates call gay men who won’t date a trans man (a female) “bigots” and “transphobes”. They say that a male can be a lesbian, and if a lesbian won’t suck a “female penis” she is transphobic and a bigot. That’s homophobia, and like I said, it is rife in the TQ community.
Gay rights and trans rights are not compatible. One is based on sexual attraction, one is based on “gender identity”, the latter of which tries to force the former to not exist. The trans activists don’t even hide it - they call it “genital preference” and say it’s transphobic. That’s incredibly homophobic.
Blah blah blah. The Nazis started by coming after trans people too, gay people wound up in camps all the same. Divide and conquer, you're not as clever with this BS as you think.
So you have no actual response to what I said. Cool, cool.
All you did was barf on your keyboard, it's not worth a response.
Please fuck off back to Reddit or 4chan or wherever you came from. We don't want your kind here.
