There's weirdly a lot of fractures within the LGBTQ+ community, there's a joke that the letters are "in order of preference" and quite a lot of the gay community doesn't recognise trans people, or thinks Bi folks are just gay but won't admit it and things like that.
An ex of mine was bi and I got exposed to a lot of this shit because of the amount of shit she got from some of her lesbian friends over dating a man. It really shocked me because it's completely against your own interests to become the very thing that's opressed you and your kin, yet here we are - gay republicans.
Yeah you can pick a side and be hated by the other side or you can stay in the middle and be hated by both. Tribalism 101.
