Real Gay People Don’t Vote Republican?

Posted on | November 1, 2016 | 3 Comments

Almost 15 years ago, after reporting on some dubious “research” funded by the federal government, I started getting tips from a longtime gay activist in San Francisco who was enraged by what was being done with federal AIDS prevention money. Michael Petrelis is radical, not liberal, and he despises the sold-out corrupt Democrat Party-controlled Official Gay Movement™ at least as much as most right-wing Republicans do, albeit for different reasons. So there I was, a conservative journalist working for the Washington Times, getting these excellent tips from Petrelis — his blog is The Petrelis Files — and turning them into news articles that stoked the indignation of professional operatives of the Official Gay Movement™ employed by the municipal government in San Francisco. Once, when I called to get a comment from the mayor’s office about some embarrassing revelation, the spokesman started screaming at me over the phone about gay kids committing suicide, blah blah blah.

Democrat operatives live inside a partisan echo chamber where dissent is never heard, and anyone who disagrees with the Official Gay Movement™ is condemned as an evil bigot who wants gay people to die.

Of course, not every gay person buys into this partisan propaganda:

Entrepreneur Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, said Hillary Clinton would be “much more confrontational” and “dangerous” with foreign affairs as president when compared to Donald Trump.
National Press Club President Thomas Burr asked Thiel if he is concerned about Trump’s “temperament” when it comes to the nuclear codes.
“I think he [Trump] wouldn’t even get us into a situation where it would be even close with respect to Russia, so I think if you actually look at the specifics, where might something happen, where might something go wrong, I would think that in some ways Hillary is much more dangerous than Trump. I don’t think Hillary would get us into a nuclear war, either, but it’s a much more confrontational foreign policy,” Thiel said during a “Newsmakers” event at the National Press Club today.
Thiel announced in mid-October that he planned to donate $1.25 million to Trump’s campaign. Thiel, who spoke at the Republican National Convention, said LGBT magazine The Advocate turned on him since the endorsement. Thiel argued that someone only counts as “diverse” if they are aligned with liberal political views.
“The Advocate, a magazine which once praised me as a gay innovator, even published an article saying that as of now I am, and I quote, ‘not a gay man,’ unquote, because I don’t agree with their politics,” he said. “The lie behind the buzzword of diversity could not be made more clear. If you don’t conform, then you don’t count as diverse, no matter what your personal background.”

See? Liberals believe they have the right to decide who is or is not gay. All any homosexual has to do is vote Republican, and partisan hacks at The Advocate will denounce them as being no longer gay, because the Official Gay Movement™ isn’t actually about helping people, or representing their legitimate political interests, it’s about electing Democrats.
