Rep. Glenn Thompson made headlines recently after it was revealed that he voted against protecting same-sex marriage rights and then jetted off to celebrate his gay son’s wedding three days later.
Audio from the Pennsylvania Republican’s toast at the wedding leaked a few days after that. In it, he could be clearly heard saying that he was “thankful” that his son found his “true love,” and welcomed the new husband into the family with open arms.

Conveniently left out of Thompson’s toast was any mention of the fact that he was one of 157 Republicans who voted against the Respect for Marriage Act, which seeks to repeal the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act and require federal recognition of same-sex marriages in the United States.
Of course, he’s hardly the first conservative to be caught taking out of both sides of his mouth. Scroll down for four more anti-LGBTQ bigots who were busted for engaging in some very pro-gay behavior…
Kari Lake
Arizona’s GOP nominee for governor looked like quite the hypocrite when photos of her partying with a famous Phoenix drag queen emerged online earlier this summer right after she joined her fellow Republicans in targeting drag performers, insinuating they’re all perverts and pedophiles. The MAGA queen responded in true Trumpian fashion: By sending a cease and desist letter to the queen who shared the photo with reporters and doubling down on her hatred of LGBTQ people.
How about we take this to the next level?

The Pennsylvania priest, who regularly preached about the evils of homosexuality, admitted to stealing almost $100,000 from his church in 2019 to pay for a lavish beach party house, boyfriends, and other personal expenses, including a Grindr XTRA account. When confronted about it, he copped to everything, saying he paid for “personal relationships” with guys using church donations. A Grindr XTRA account? That seems pretty pro-gay to us!
Jerry Falwell Jr.
What’s gayer than a circuit party? How about a circuit party… in Miami Beach! The former president of Liberty University and anti-LGBTQ activist swore that wasn’t him in photos taken at a 2014 Miami circuit party that leaked online in 2019. (You can still see the images HERE.) But multiple sources, including the photographer himself, all said otherwise. The images emerged just a few months before the pool boy sex scandal broke, which served as the final nail in Falwell’s evangelical casket.
Aaron Schock
“Hey Cutie, I’m Aaron Schock. As a congressman I voted against marriage equality, the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and Equal Protections for LGBT folk. Now hold still while I shove this dollar down your shorts.” pic.twitter.com/YLGDXrW9Ei

After resigning from Congress in disgrace but before coming out publicly as gay, the once-rising star of the GOP was recorded stuffing pesos into a male stripper’s briefs at a Mexico City gay bar. Not long after that photos and video of him engaged in a full lip lock with another dude at Coachella, his hand searching for something down the front of the guy’s pants, hit the internet. It wasn’t until 11 months later that Schock finally revealed in a statement that, yeah, OK, he’s gay… then he defended his anti-LGBTQ record in Congress.

I understand that a lot of rabidly homophobic men (and women) are hiding a deep secret.
But we keep pushing the narrative that MOST homophobic men are closeted cases when it not true. Most homophobic men are straight…and hateful.
We keep pushing a narrative that we are our own oppressors.
Major
^^ all of this ^^
G-Man
Sorry but there is a extensive research done that a lot of truly homophobic men and women do tend to have gay tendencies. I wouldn’t say most of them but they are definitely out there. Aaron Shock for one, and for the record I think he is one of the most disgusting gays on the planet in my opinion. He voted against Gay marriage and then partied in Mexico during Covid like nothing was going on.
SDR94103
yes.

What G-Man has posted is true.
LifeinShaw
What G-man said and adding it makes me sick that so many gays still follow Aaron on Insta or whatever social media accounts he has. I don’t follow him but I checked once this past year and saw so many positive (sickening) comments from gays.

@Trey
This “narrative” doesn’t mean we are our own oppressors; it is still us vs. the homophobes.
And the only people you protect when you discard this psychologically validated and researched phenomenon are the homophobes.
jsmu
NOPE.

What rotten people. Scum who sold their souls for money and power. May they rot in hell.
abfab
I can tell you this, they are already IN HELL. A hell of their own making. And yes, the rotting has begun….
barryaksarben
I am sickens by the men who dont care about what damage Aaron did to gays. because he is hot looking. Personally, I think a persons character is part of what makes them attractive
scotty
those who deny the loudest are the deepest ones in that closet. proven true time and time and time again.
ericr_wilson
The old adage, “Whoever hollers faqqot the loudest, usually is” rings true more often than not…. I’m still waiting for one of Linda Graham’s rent boys to have enough of his hypocrisy – and spill the condom….
GayEGO
This is not surprising, these homophobics like to hide and cheat, proven by science!
humble charlie
a person being a hypocrite – what a bore.
and what better use for pesos but as caulk to fill in any cracks.

Aaron Schmuck needs to permanently disappear bc everyone hates him. And somewhere in heaven Tammy Faye is smiling knowing what the son of that monster Jerry Falwell has become.
CNY1983
why do i get the feeling that sex with a gay republican is like having sex with a hole in the wall?
JohnnyBoy2
Glenn Thompson says he is representing the majority views of his constituents, which is what is was elected to do.

cuteguy
These are the scum of the earth. And not surprisingly they are mostly religious cult hypocrites, especially that disgusting priest. But worst of all on this list is the bottom of the barrel Aaron Schmuck who not only voted against our right to marry but defended it afterwards. Of course some loser queens still like him bc he’s semi physically attractive but he has an ugly soul. If he even has a soul at this point.
MSM
” the straightest are the gayest” was the phrase we used in NYC in the 70’s and 80’s. Maybe it still is, because it is true.
GrizzleyMichael
They are all hippocrickets and big closeted and should stay in there with the door cement shut

To counter some of the comments above:
In a 1996 study, ALL the men who claimed to be heterosexual and have negative attitudes towards homosexuals showed increased penile tumescence when shown homosexual porn. NONE of the heterosexual men who had no objection to homosexuality did. Both cohorts registered increased tumescence when shown heterosexual or lesbian porn. The authors hypothesized that some of the men were likely aware of this attraction and some were not.
Studies that have attempted to debunk this were (laughably) based on survey and interview and not empirical investigation!

I expected comments on soon-to-be ex-Congressman Madison Cawthorn. He is, no doubt, suffering but he may never want to make his life better by being truthful. At least by NOT being so homophobic.
My2CentsWorth
Madison Cawthorn II:
I think that the early abuses of women could have been Cawthorn’s effort to prove that he is a straight guy. I’ve read accounts of gay guys putting forth a lot of effort to create an image of themselves being
very horny heterosexual studs.
His marriage’s failure may have been due to him not being in the least bit a bi-sexual person. Many gay husbands’ wedding nights were anything but sexual bliss. It’s possible that his wife loves him enough to not reveal the reality of being for a short period Mrs. Madison Cawthorn.
Saps48
I wonder if Madison shows increased tumescence when shown gay porn.
rbernard
I am 66 and have seen a lot of things.
It is a very common occurrence for religious homophobes to be hiding a secret about themselves, a gay secret.
This happens so often, it is a cliche’.
The best way to deal with these hypocrites is to reveal their secret and assertively call them out publicly.
yup5hioop
we never see armed militias outside churches or other places of worship as they create and promulgate abusive thought systems of redundant oppressive teleology that shelter all kinds of abuse for decades as well as creating this bozos in this list
