Gay Republican exposes the hatred and intolerance of the left.

Coming Out As A Republican To My Democrat Family Went Worse Than Coming Out Gay
quote:
When, in my adulthood, the liberal policy agenda became problematic for me, I found myself at a loss. I began to raise questions with my family and friends, and met resistance. It was not because my concerns were particularly inappropriate; I was just not supposed to be questioning at all.
One could disagree with nuances, but not the judgment of the (then) president, or the party. Period. The irony of this apparent intolerance for diversity of thought by the party claiming to champion the rights of groups underserved by the status quo was not lost on me.
quote:
I was labeled a white supremacist by a friend I’ve known my entire life, and completely dropped with no explanation by another dear friend and self-anointed giant of the gay civil rights movement to whom my father had introduced me 15 years ago.
quote:
I found out almost immediately that the Republican Party is not only not evil, but populated with nice, intelligent, humble people.
quote:Party of tolerance my arse. Just like the religion of peace.
It took 36 years for me to see through the Democratic mystique of what the Republican Party is. Having done so has enabled me to affirm a deep part of who I am, which runs deeper than religion or sexual orientation, because it is part of what forms me. Sadly, it was a part that I should not ever have had to question in the first place.

Oh look, another “woke” Trump supporter claiming things that are not backed by anything other than opinion.
Can we not use dumbarse opinion pieces from random people as the basis of major discussion?
Edit: Nothing says expert like a BA in painting from Pomona College. And I’m not even kidding.

I work in one of the most liberal cities in the country (Irvine, Ca), and nobody but my family (and friends who I know are conservative) know my political views because I do not want to be judged.

I work in city in CA with extremely high levels of immigrants. (Irvine, CA). It is a very liberal city. I have absolutely no wish to tell anyone my political views because I hear what they say about the GOP/conservatives, and I don't want them to think that about me.

Did you even read the piece? It presents absolutely nothing relevant. “It is a, hey look at me, I’m gay and now on the good side”
His sexuality isn’t even referenced in regards to why his family “hates him”
It is everything people on this board claim to hate.
I say all of that with the opinion that liberals are not very good about actually being inclusive in regards to diversity of thought.
But this shite, and it is shite, is some grade A garbage and lowers our nations level of discourse to what I would call retarded

And of course the left proves his point by attacking him in the media.

Some guy has a story. I don’t care.

This is one persons side to a story, if we can call it that, which has no real point other than “look at me, I’m gay, Republicans are cool, Democrats suck”.
His sexuality isn’t even referenced about this despite the sensationalized headline.
His BA in painting is a hilarious irony, given the other threads on this board. I would have hoped you could pick that up.
His “experiences” are most definitely opinion based, as he doesn’t cite any real instances. When you are writing a piece like this, you use generalities as to not have to cash the check you are writing.
It’s stupid. If you want to make this point, of which I am pretty sympathetic actually, don’t use the worst possible methods and examples

Attack the website because you can't refute the facts. Nice job a-hole.

1. The headline would suggest his family/friends were not tolerant of him being gay. Seeing as they are, it’s inclusion is both confusing and irrelevant to the point the author is attempting to write about. This board claims to hate when people use their sexuality/status as a qualification.
2. You don’t enjoy the irony about the BA in painting? I found it hilarious.
3. I hope you realize those are precisely the opinion based generalized stories I was referring. “Poor me; they don’t have time for me anymore because I’m a republican” Are you kidding me? These are all things he himself deduced, obviously...which of course, is an opinion. Take this example: “everyone on TD board hates me because I’m a veteran”. 100% an opinion I could have, and write about, with a click bait title.
This is such a frustrating conversation. Your insistence on propping up a garbage piece, on a issue where we actually agree, is astounding. Pieces like this are horrible, and deserve to go straight into the trash.
If you’ll notice, HHM stopped criticizing after I pointed out the flaws, and the fact that I actually agree that liberals can be intolerant despite the rhetoric.

Why is it a shite article? Are you calling him a liar? Did you want him to include names of people who have shunned him or called him a white supremacist?
As far as his sexuality and politics, can't you see how the title “Coming Out As A Republican To My Democrat Family Went Worse Than Coming Out Gay” is showing the hypocrisy of his family and friends on the left?
These supposed "flaws" you talk about are your opinion, versus his experiences.

1. Because this is an attention seeking piece that adds absolutely nothing to the conversation. It is click bait. I question these “experiences” ever happened, and I 100% question that he would surmise the reasonings behind the alleged slights from friends and family.
2. As ive stated before, it’s click bait that adds nothing, except fervor to the right. And I’ll say it, yep, I think he is a liar. I don’t want people to write this kind of bullshite. If you are, then yes, I want some specifics. Otherwise, I’m inclined to believe that it is nothing more than a puff piece for the right.
3. It implies his family was not accepting of his coming out as gay. And no, it doesn’t do a good job of highlighting hypocrisy. It plays to stupid platitudes with no relevant info.
His “experiences”, which may or may not have any bearing reality. Like my example saying that you hate me because I’m a veteran. That would be “my experience”. Which is the entire premise upon which he/I would operate.
This isn’t good for calling out hypocritical statements about inclusion. Opinion pieces aren’t generally for that.

Well, we will agree to disagree.
I have no reason to not believe him considering what I have seen going on this past year.
Take a look at the internal Google emails if you doubt it.
