Ardent supporters of the face eating leopard party can’t believe that membership in the face eating leopard party didn’t prevent leopards from inevitably showing up to eat their faces too

NEW: The Texas Republican Party has voted to shut out Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of gay Republicans, from participating in their convention. Log Cabin Republicans just said it is “shameful” they they are being “excluded” and that Republicans are being “narrow-minded.”

When will these sorts of groups learn that the fascists they cozy up to will just as soon wipe them out as everyone else they find “undesirable”

Replying to @sewellchan
Another delegate, Nate Criswell, says weakening the homosexuality language would be caving to political correctness. “People appreciate calling a spade a spade.” A third delegate mentions dildos and fisting before she is cut off.

@sewellchan
On a voice vote, a motion to amend the homosexuality plank fails. Language calling it “an abnormal lifestyle choice” remains.

I'm guessing a check of their browser histories would be shocking.

I was.

I once knew a lot of gay men at work.

Some of them are conservative.

Depending on who they knew.

They were straight acting types, hate using that term.

They had partners and considered themselves married.

I was a supervisor, so I knew more private information.

Do you get it, now? They hate you. If you stay Republican, you’re not thinking clearly.

Then they can ask themselves if they are truly in the company of allies.

And why can’t they just belong to the Joe Manchin/Krysten Sinema wing of the party? Sure, they might not be completely enthusiastic about Democrats but at least they’ll stand a lesser chance of being hated and could possibly be eliminated under Republicans. I just don’t….get them.
