Ok, I'm old and have occasional senior moments, so maybe I missed it, or just haven't paid attention, but...

Scott Bessent is openly gay? Reading this yesterday was the first time I had seen that.

LINK

Contrast that with how the fact that Pete Buttigieg being gay was thrown in people's faces as part of his narrative right from the beginning...being gay, his relationship with his partner, being absent from his DOT job for family leave, blah blah blah. It's like the media had to give Biden and the Democrats virtue signaling points for elevating Buttigieg.

But Bessent? Not a peep...at least that I've seen. Like I said though, maybe I've just missed it. And really, that's the way it should be.

Yes.

But conservative gays are awarded no virtue signal points.

Same for conservative blacks.

For liberals and Democrats, it’s all about checking all the woke boxes. Competence means nothing.

For conservatives, nothing matters other than competence.

He is gay. I think he and his "partner" have a child.
I could care less. He doesn't make him being gay an issue, therefore it's not an issue. He's doing a great job and is masterful with financial and economic issues. We're lucky to have him.

He’s gay and dotted Elon’s eye apparently. Kidding aside, he’s so great and love watching him when he speaks. Such a stark contrast from Yellen.

Married to a man, I believe. But, he is usually the smartest one in the room so should I care what his bedroom habits are?

The left loves throwing their social credit scores in your face.

The only things conservatives will throw in your face are: going to the gym, hunting, and being over 6 feet tall. Purebloods still keep that on the down-low unless they can do it anonymously online, or when throwing down some beer with other baws.

Don't be silly. You can't be a real homosexual if you are Conservative.

Not only did Buttabutt take extended family leave, for his "wife" "having" their baby, but he took 2+ weeks off right in the middle of the nation-wide supply chain problems. Big photo op picture spread of he & his wife laying in a hospital bed, both gowned, holding their baby in their arms. Like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Yes.

Openly gay and Trump’s baddest arse appointment.

Freaking love him.

Rumor is - he gave Elon the black eye.

We have the best gays

Nobody cares about this anymore. It is what it is, and as long as he's doing his job to the utmost ability, it's a nothing burger. He's a Trump guy.

The gay hating, gay bashing Trump actually is the President who's had the 2 highest ranking gay people in US History. Bessent in this term, and Ric Grinnell as Director of National Intelligence in the first admin.

But the Dems say he's a gay hater, so facts do not matter.
