Trump-loving gays say their MAGA support is ruining their lives
(www.lgbtqnation.com)
Reminds me of Uncle Ruckus.
Good.
This has strong nottheonion vibes.

Maybe they should stop supporting him.
Did anyone read the article? Or am I not understanding the article correctly? Isnt the article saying their life is harder because they're being rejected by the LGBTQ community for supporting Trump? Or lol am I misunderstanding this comment section that seems to be mostly implying they're life is worse from the other MAGAs rejecting them?
Edit: I'm laughing at how bad I am reading the room not at anything the article or comments are saying.
The article says that the specific people they're featuring have been ostracized from the gay community. I wish the article was longer, because there's a remarkable lack of self-awareness on display in the few quotes it includes.
It's a terrible article and mostly click bait. My take away is they are being rejected by both sides. Big surprise.
Back in the day, if you were gay, ignorant people thought their lifestyle had bad influece on others. They were afraid of the consequences of having gay people living close to them. The gays were ostracized, persecuted, ridiculed, excluded from bars/communities/etc. I just post this comment as a reminder. Please be nice to others. You don't know where they come from. Try to be including, start dialogues, build bridges.

I’d bet money that it isn’t their MAGA support that’s ruining their lives, but rather everyone else’s ostracizing them that’s doing it.

They're in the sunken place.
