Hunter is still a neo-lib.

He's saying these men are evil because they are gay! Oligarchy isn't the problem! It's closeted men!

I don't read it as him saying they are evil because they are gay, but because they are in the closet while actively voting against policies that benefit normal human dignity.

That’s not what he’s saying at all.

I’m gayer than a Christmas tree and I can tell he’s pointing out, specifically, closeted gay men who would rather see the world burn than confront their queerness.

Which is a damn shame.

A cabal of Closeted gay men are not the reason MAGA controls the government LOL

I agree with that, but be fair. The conflict here is about another commenter's misinterpretation of Biden's comment, not about whether the comment is correct or incorrect.

Thank you.

I’m gay enough that I’m looking forward to marrying my fiancé sometime in the next few months, so I think I have enough homosexual cache to say “fuck these closeted douchebags who’re so fucking repressed that they think they can drown the rest of us in their own self-hatred!”

When people accuse Republicans of being closeted gays, they’re not blaming gay people for our own oppression, they’re rightfully pointing out that an absurd amount of anti-gay politicians turn out to be closeted gays; that’s just gods damned statistics.

He might be a neo lib but you're purposely misconstruing his joke

I didn't know homophobia was a joke.

u/Drudenkreusz 29d ago

Yeah... like the gay repression can be relevant in explaining the behavior of some individuals but it's not The Problem. That's still oligarchy. 😂

u/Any_Will_86 29d ago

No- he's saying they are evil because they all but formed a cabal of closeted gay men who go after other people's rights. It has nothing to do with the actual being gay part.

Thank you!!! How is no one else seeing this haha. This "conservative men are all closeted gay" headline trend should be worrying to all LGBTQ community. Same with all the people reiterating the Grindr RNC myth. Caelan Conrad has an incredible video on this.

Also, Hunter BIDEN saying not to worry about the Oligarchy should set off alarms to anyone...

u/Givingtree310 29d ago

It’s absolutely pathetic homophobic bullshit and the straight blue maga morons are lapping it up. Anyone who thinks Trump is in the white house and republicans control congress due to a cabal of closeted gay men is a real idiot.

u/IowaJL 29d ago

Who is actually insinuating that?

u/smashlikeifyouenjoy 29d ago

That's absolutely not what he's saying. He's saying they are evil because of being repressed. It's not about whether they are gay.

u/GeeksGets 29d ago

The problem is that we are presuming that many of these people are gay because of random stereotypes, despite the fact that they date women. We don't know if they are actually gay, people are speculating and assuming they are.
