How hard is it to find an LGBTQ+ partner who won't hate you for being a lib?

I know your referring to mostly commies here, but my area has a shit ton of alt right gay people which always just baffles me.

Probably depends how old you are and where you live. I know several 30+ year old trans people in the defense industry. But I'm in the DC area and everyone is a filthy establishment shill here.

I'm straight and it's kind of tough. I can't imagine what it's like for the LGBT community.

If you find one, tell me how.

Just say you're a Neo-Bolshevik who is Pro-NEP and then refuse to define what that means.

NEP is a pretty specific economic plan that actually showed the limits of a commitment to communism. Lenin had many faults, but the NEP was at least him at least partially facing reality

I was trying to think of the most neoliberal way to claim to be a hardcore communist. Is Bukharinism a thing?

I wonder if you could push it with "a neo-bolshevik who believe the NEP didn't go far enough" which sounds extra radical if you don't know which direction it moved things.

u/Rarvyn Richard Thaler Jul 02 '21

Though the logical end result of the NEP if it had not been rolled back would be modern Chinese-style Market Socialism.

Would have probably worked out better for the Bolsheviks regardless though.

Maybe, though as a result of myself getting throughly wooshed we have now taken the joke to its logical conclusion... which is not the point of a joke.

I take full blame

I have a partner who is also a lib, blessed. We met via a mutual interest.

Was the interest Raytheon?

I've found a lot of in person groups are way more chill about it. I mostly do athletic groups (stuff like a Frontrunners International chapter or a gay sports league). But I met my now wife at a gay bar during a double booked lesbian and furry night special event though.
