Meet Adam Paul Levine.
Friends don’t want to see him anymore. They don’t want him around at all, naw. They’ve let poor Adam slip through the cracks, and suddenly they won’t give him the time of day.
He’s watched his social media presence get whittled down to the barest nubbin of its former self. He’s a pariah. An outcast…
Parties? Well, those are a thing of the past. No one wants him at their fete! Nope, not at all…
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Why, you ask?
Because he’s a Trump supporter.
“I am not a sex offender,” he writes, in a drool-inducingly longwinded op-ed piece published by The Federalist.
“I am something even worse than that. I am a Donald Trump supporter.”
Since he was “raised in a liberal Jewish family in Washington DC,” Levine says it…
“was always a given that Republicans are bad people, representative of that shameful sliver of our flawed society that values money above the planet and think the world would be better off if everyone were a straight, white male. At a minimum they are racist, misogynistic and homophobic.”

But as he matured, he began to feel that liberal policies were “problematic”:
For the first time in my progressive life, standing up for the values that I most strongly espouse—truth, morality, self-reliance, boundaries, tolerance, and a healthy dose of Jewish skepticism—was damaging my reputation and character. When I publicly opposed my dad’s support of the Iran deal, I was admonished. I had few friends with whom I could have a civil political conversation: one stopped all communication with me for two weeks because Trump won the presidency.
If Republicans are bad, Trump is nothing less than Satan embodied. Post-election family gatherings devolved into group Trump-bashing, which intensified as more rumors of my dubious views wafted across town. I did not even bother going to gay pride because it was fused with a Resist march. If you do not want to impeach our president, you have no place in gay life.
He claims he’s been called a white supremacist by former friends, too. And not surprisingly, he was dropped by a “self-anointed giant” of the gay civil rights movement, too.
Related: Here’s what happens when a drag queen comes out as a Trump supporter
But he thinks it’s all been worth it, because he’s found his people:
I found out almost immediately that the Republican Party is not only not evil, but populated with nice, intelligent, humble people. Days after I added myself to the Log Cabin Republican mailing list, I saw an invite to attend a gathering with Chadwick Moore, an independent journalist and one of two lapsed gay Democrats I had heard of.
He concludes with this startling revelation: He lives on Earth.
“If the struggles of the LGBT and Jewish peoples have taught me one thing, it is that I count, I matter, no more or less than any other man—precisely not because of my sexual preferences, or the God I worship, but because I am a citizen of planet Earth. The knowledge there is a major political party that extends this creed to its members has restored a deep-seated hope inside of me for my country’s future.”
What do you make of all this? Are these “I’m-a gay-Trump-supporter-and-everybody-hates-me” articles the new “I-moved-out-of-New-York-City-and-have-never-been-happier” think pieces that make our eyeballs bleed?
KaiserVonScheiss
We all know how you love to hate on Trump supporters. Some people just can’t stand the thought of others having contrary opinions.
DarkZephyr
You keep saying that. You keep saying that it’s about hating people with opposing “opinions.” You know damn well that’s not what it’s about. It’s about actions. Voting against our human dignity and our civil rights is an action, not an opinion. And don’t try to pretend that most of the Republicans in power today have not done that, have not voted against some form of anti-LGBT legislation or policy. Their voting records are a matter of public record. And it’s about those who support those people, like the jack ass this article is about. Those who contribute to their actions by voting for them. Voting for these people and putting them in the position so that they can hurt us through legislation, is an action not an opinion. Stop saying it’s about contrary opinions. Have the guts to recognize what it really is. It’s opposition to those who oppose our rights and our human dignity through concrete hostile action. If you want to support that, hey it’s a free country and it’s your right to do so. But tell the truth about what it is that you’re actually doing. Be brave enough to embrace who and what you are. Stop trying to sugarcoat it or obfuscate it. And certainly don’t be surprised when members of the LGBT community resent the power that that you give to those who want to hurt us. Through your votes and your incessant defense of them rather than holding them accountable and holding them in check.
DarkZephyr
And that would be voted in favor*of some form of anti-LGBT legislation or policy.
Juanjo
Kaiser dear – I have no issue with a person having a contrary opinion. They have the same free speech right that I have. And because I have the same free speech right that they do, when they write some bit of misguided and logical fallacy-riddled bit of drivel, such as is your wont, I take them to task over doing so.
I don’t hate them but I do not tolerate their use of drivel. You, for example, I do not hate. I view you the same way I would view a bit of dog excrement I, unfortunately, stepping into while walking in Delores Park.
Knight
Dark name ONE thing Trump has done to vote “against your human dignity”. Just one. People like you give the LGBT community a bad name, as you are hysterical drama-queens who over-exaggerate and lie to make your pathetic voices heard. And speaking of pathetic…
Juanwhore ahhhhh…you’re a Castro queen. That explains it all now. Me da gracia que hablas de mierda sin saber que es la primera cosa en que pensamos cuando te vemos la cara. Oye….haznos el gran favor de morirte…estas quitando aire a los jovenes.
charlietex
@knight. Why stop with just one? The nomination of Jefferson Davis Beauregard sessions the third, an unrepentant homophobe to be Attorney General. Choosing Mike Pence as his running mate when Pence was the supporter of legislation in Indiana to legalize anti-gay discrimination. Banning transgender military service. The list goes on and on. But facts don’t matter to Looney Tunes like you
Mandrake
I agree with you, Kaiser. In regards to the GOP and Trump taking our hard fought rights away, other than the political and homophobic rhetoric, what rights have actually been taken away so far? Have the homophobes and their votes succeeded so far? What GLBT civil rights have been rescinded? Have the cases going through the courts reached final decisions.
There is a paranoia that runs through a large segment of the GLBT community that the GOP and the Trump administration will roll back gay marriage and that the SCOTUS will allow businesses to deny us patronage. Hasn’t happened yet!
I am not going to be a Dem supporter simply because they’re not anti-gay. Let’s weigh any issues and subsequent actions objectively without the hysteria of regarding the entire GOP as EVIL.
Louis
Oh give me a break buddy our community especially Transgender Americans is STILL being discriminated against and persecuted in this country.
Quit behaving like self righteous martyrs it is so tiring I can’t even describe it in words.
We did everything in our power not to allow a clearly unhinged,divisive,bigoted,sexist,misogynistic,arrogant,rude.uncouth,and intolerant man into the white house.
YOU ARE THE ONES THAT INVITED THE MONSTER IN NOT DEMOCRATS.
Cut the crap with your persecution complexes you are after all the same gay men in this country that discriminate against transgender americans in this country making you fools no better then any other right wing nut in this country.
We have an idiot for a president that consistently poses as a real danger to the united states and its citizens constantly baiting and provoking a violent and insane dictator in North Korea online and off daily in this country.
Trump just recently made an even bigger ass of himself then he normally does by claiming his BUTTON WAS BIGGER as if this were some kind of pathetic schoolyard bully argument or fight.
Your president lies consistently and yet you supporters clearly give him a pass whilst hypocritically targeting and singling out democrats in this country just so you fools can deflect the attention away from your presidents clearly criminal and unethical actions and that also includes most that are within his administration.
Bigotry is NOT an OPINION it is clear hate to anyone that possesses some semblance of a conscience in this world.
All you folks EVER do in this country is blame everyone else BUT YOURSELVES and the democrats are tired of it.
We are not your parties scapegoats grow up already and start actually taking personal responsibility and accountability for how YOUR party behaves and how YOUR party treats so many of its fellow Americans in this country on a daily basis.
That onus doesn’t lie with democrats it lies with YOUR party.
Knight
Mandrake you just outted yourself as a moron (big surprise there). No anti-gay legislation has ever been so much as drafted since any of the people you claim are “homophobic” have taken their offices. Your entire (lack of) argument is based on guilt by association. So, remember this: in the not too distant past, Hilary, Obama and co opposed all gay marriage legislation…but of course that fact makes you ‘tards stutter and babble incoherently.
Once again, name ONE thing Trump has done to vote “against your human dignity”….not what is in your imagination, but fact.
Lookyloo
@Mandrake (and others)
Wait.. You think GOPers have lots to offer you because their active bigotry towards LGBTs has been mostly shut down?
You’re okay the GOPs active anti-equality actions because they haven’t been totally successful?
So, to be clear; even though GOP policies work and want you to be a 3rd class citizen – since those policies mostly fail these days, you think the GOP are a pretty fine org and you want to be buddies with them.
I mean, that’s what you (and others) are saying.
Here’s a not-so-great analogy:
That’s like knowing a guy is scheming to steal your car – but if he keeps failing steal your car because of your diligent neighbors you’d, in your logic, want to hang out with him and his friends and assume they’d treat you respectfully.
gymmuscleboy
Guys, Trump is not perfect, but if we look at the bigger picture for a second (not just about being gay), many see that he was the best choice on balance.
I know we are gay, but there is more to politics than gay rights, and like another commenter said, gay rights are not being rolled back under Trump – and they won’t be.
Although not liberal, Trump is passionate about protecting western values in general – which is why we have gay rights in the first place.
Blackceo
Sorry Adam but I woud’ve ditched you too. I could still maintain an acquaintance with someone who voted for George W. Bush or McCain or Romney, but Trump is different. The Republican acquaintances I still have did not vote for Trump. As a gay man of color, your support of him is telling me that you are comfortable enough with his racism and xenophobia and that is a deal breaker in terms of being in my life in any capacity.
Adam did the thing that I would’ve suggested he do before reading the full article, which is join the Log Cabin Republicans. I’m sure he is in his happy place now with gay men who all look like him and many of whom support Trump. So good for him that it all worked out.
Knight
BlackCEO as a bi Latino “of color” who isn’t eligible to vote in the US, I didn’t vote for Trump (or anyone), but I still have yet to hear anyone give one single example of a racist statement or action from Trump. You seem to pride yourself of your black skin and identify more as black than Latin (a lot of Cubans and Boricuas are that way). So, did you know that Louis Farrakhan endorsed Trump and commanded his cultists not to vote for Hillary? In other words, are you saying Trump is a black supremacist because Farrakhan supports him?
Apolodorus
@knight : http://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/president-donald-trump-racist-examples_us_584f2ccae4b0bd9c3dfe5566
Start with this.
Kangol
@BlackCeo, good points, as always.
Michael Wolff basically said Trump was an anti-Semite, despite having a Jewish son-in-law, a daughter who converted to Judaism, and thus Jewish grandchildren. His father was arrested for protesting with the KKK.
Trump’s own racist behavior is legendary. Sued the Federal government for discriminating against African American renters (he and his daddy settled). Calling for the death penalty for the Black and Latinx teenagers who were wrongly accused of the Central Park rape. Captured on tape (which the station won’t release) making racist comments. Repeatedly claiming President Obama was not a US citizen and not born in the US. His racist comments against Mexicans, Black people, etc. on the campaign trail. Searching for something good to say about the KKK. Retweeting far-right and white supremacist groups’ tweets and memes. And on and on it goes.
Kangol
Trump’s own racist behavior is legendary. Sued BY the Federal government for discriminating against African American renters (he and his daddy settled).
Blackceo
Knight….I identify more with my Black heritage because that’s how I was raised through adolescence. It was that side of the family that I associated with the most. When people meet me they don’t even think Black. They think “mixed” or bi-racial or Latino. It wasn’t until I was in high school that I really connected with my Puerto Rican relatives and now I can honestly say that I identify equally with both sides and celebrate the customs and traditions of both sides.
As for examples of racism from Trump, where have you been? Kangol gave just a few examples. As for that trash Farrakhan, it proves that no group is a monolith. There are Blacks who voted for Trump, as well as Latinos. I wouldn’t associate with anyone who supports Farrakhan. His views are terrible. Trump is a narcissist who will accept anyone who supports him, regardless of ethnicity. But his words, actions, and policies have proven to me that he’s a racist. Having Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller in the West Wing would be like if Obama had Farrakhan in there.
Knight
BlackCEO and Apolodorus I appreciate your comments, and am always willing to learn. But I looked at the HuffPo link and honestly…it’s trash. Just garbage. They are using as “proof” that Trump is racist because people he appointed have SUPPOSEDLY “racist pasts”. Steve Bannon was called a “racist” because he is supposedly anti-Jewish…yet his Senior Staff at Breitbart is Jewish, as is his biggest supporter, Milo Yannopolous. So, regardless of whether or not Bannon is “racist” (and I just gave proof he isn’t) that does not mean Trump would be racist by association.
Now…this is the BIGGEST proof Huffpo is the bastion of morons: “He launched a travel ban targeting Muslims”. Ok…Muslims are not a “race”…there are white, Latino (unfortunately), Arab and of course ASIAN Muslims (the largest segment, actually). HuffPo is itself racist for insinuating Muslims are somehow all Arab or from the Middle East. So, no…this is not proof in any way that Trump is racist…it’s just proof HuffPo is run by idiots.
I agree with you on Farrakhan, and I used him as an example to show that Trump doesn’t care whom he associates with…which to me shows he is not racist. I believe he is a narcissist (but so was Obama), a hot-head, a loud-mouth, a populist and many other things…but I’m not convinced he is a racist. While I’m open to being wrong here, the so-called “proof” used to support that argument is dismissed. So, I guess we just don’t see eye-to-eye there.
Blackceo
Knight
I think Kangol gave plenty of concrete examples that show Trump’s racism but hey….we can agree to disagree on that one. I appreciate your willingness to engage in an inquisitive and respectful manner. Take care.
Knight
Blackceo I honestly don’t take anything Kangol says seriously. But just so you know; Trump’s great grandfather was Jewish (Drumpf was the original Yiddish name). His daughter is Jewish. To say he is an anti-Semite is like saying Halle Berry is anti-black. I already stated Trump has many black supporters in and outside his cabinet (i.e. Ben Carson).
I’m not a Trump supporter anymore than I was an Obama supporter; I state facts and look at the good and bad things done by EVERY president. I support them when they make good decisions and look to change the bad decisions. But some people will simply never accept Trump regardless of anything he does…which is both ridiculous and self-detrimental. As a business man, you should know this. It’s better to work within the system than fighting it from the outside.
And I genuinely DO like chatting with you. Thanks for keeping it real. I know I’m going to catch heat from this, but I honestly thing it’s a Latin thing to want to find common ground and just “chill”. Meanwhile, there are phucktards around here like DCTroll (and his many other aliases) and goat-face/Juanwhore that only want to cause drama and argue. Anyway, enjoy your hump-day.
Apolodorus
@knight you are not a trump supporter? Well, good to know :-).
Your argument though, is Interesting. You don’t disagree with the facts presented in the Huff post, you just don’t consider them racism. Which is a completely different conversation to have. Also, the huff post is not the only outlet reporting on it. If you were interested in challenging your viewpoints, you could have found that by now.
I still stand by my assertion that he is a racist l, due to his overwhelming attacks of black public figures, his travel ban (which o agree, it’s also xenophobic and biggoted but the two things can go hand in hand with racism, and often do), by his tacit acceptance and support of white supremacists, their logic abc their ideology, and due to his own history (civil rights judgements in the 70’s, complaints of black workers in his casino…..
But even if by some chance you are right and he isn’t a racist, you need to concede that he is at least a racist enabler. Which is just as bad. Anyone who says that there are good people amongst white supremacists can’t be considered otherwise.
And please, let’s go use the conversation on trump? What you think of Obama is fascinating, but you should be able io make your case recurring to third party distractions.
Blackceo
@Knight
Well look at that you barely had to wait 24 hours for an example of Trump’s racism. His remarks about Haiti and African countries being “shithole countries” and then inquiring why we can’t have people from places like Norway come here. Come on now. That ‘s some pretty racist shit.
PS….Norway probably thinks we are the shithole country anyway. They’ve got a higher life expectancy, per-capita GDP, life expectancy, and happiness rating than the United States. They also have universal healthcare, was THE FIRST country to pass anti-discrimination laws to protect their gay/lesbian citizens, have great health outcomes, affordable housing, family leave, affordable childcare, and an amazing infrastructure. Why the hell would they come here?
Knight
BlackCEO I saw that. He singled out Haiti. But the sh*thole comment was most likely meant for all of Africa and Latin America. That was an awful thing to say, and my country would most likely be counted in that uneducated sh*thole comment of his. But no, I don’t take that as an example of racism. I don’t think his comment singling out Norway were because they are white/blond/blue-eyed etc. It’s because they are educated and industrialized. He also said he wanted to bring in more immigrants from Asian countries. I think he was speaking in terms of people who have low-skill vs higher-education, but definitely could have used a much better way of phrasing it.
FYI, there are countries I have visited that I would classify as sh*tholes. Afghanistan would be one of them…hands down.
Kieran
Although the author of this article tries valiantly to remain professionally objective, I can’t help but notice a slight tinge of anti-Trump bias coming through.
Kieran
Hey Adam, in the same way people who would reject you for being gay were never your real friends anyway, the same applies for people who would reject you because of who you voted for in an election. You’re far better off having friends who can accept your authentic self.
1EqualityUSA
Be authentic all you want, just prepare to be lonely.
Knight
Yes…the LGBT community is all about inclusiveness (unless you disagree with anything they say…)
charlietex
@knight that is a false equivalency. When people push intolerance there is no obligation to tolerate that. It’s not the same to be intolerant of intolerance as it is to be intolerant of peoples immutable characteristics. And if you don’t see the not so subtle racism in trumps bashing of NFL players, for requested example, and mischaracterizing what they’re doing then you are being willfully ignorant.
Knight
Charlie you don’t seem to get it; the easiest way for the LGBT community (or ultra-leftists in general) to dismiss anyone’s ideas are by labeling them “intolerant”, so they DON’T have to listen to them. It is a very transparent and lazy tactic. An example would be Milo Yannopolis, who many LGBT easily brand as “intolerant” or “alt-right” so they don’t have to listen or deal with what he says, when in reality he is neither. The reality it this whole “intolerance” label is a tactic to shut people down because many times there is not logical answer to combat their well-thought arguments.
Here’s an example: abortion. Among far too many in the LGBT community, anyone who says they are “pro-life” is immediately branded as “intolerant” or “anti-women”…a ridiculous statement since the majority of babies aborted are female. One absolutely cannot argue scientifically for a pro-abortion stance…it’s an impossibility. So, what do they do? Intolerance…anti-women…emotional outrage. Anything but actually answering the arguments on why aborting a fetus/child in the womb is murder.
I’ve been around the block enough to call bullsh*t on the whole “intolerance” thing.
Donston
I realized quite some time ago that my politics are rather all over the place. But the problems I have are not with gay Republicans but specifically with gay “Trump supporters”. Most of the general Trump supporters I know don’t really understand where he is coming from on an ideological or policy standpoint. And they disagree with plenty of his stances and admit he’s shady and ignorant if not actively prejudice. Yet, they still thoroughly support him seemingly because of how secretly hateful they are or because they don’t want to be another “pvssy ass Liberal” or they feel repelled by religion.
All the parties are deeply flawed, as is our political system. And honestly, being a hardcore, unwavering, never questioning supporter of anything is usually a reflection of naivety, group-think, close-mindedness and a never-ending “us vs them mentality” no matter what side you’re on. The craziness of our political state just highlights these things.

That’s the problem for all middle of the road people though. You have to look past a lot of stuff that you don’t like or don’t agree with with either candidate. I’m sure a LOT of Trump’s votes were votes against Hillary and not votes for Trump. A lot more were likely people who just wanted to toss a grenade into our horrible political system and see what happened. If you’re a single issue voter, I suppose the choice is pretty easy. If you’re a socially progressive, fiscally conservative restaurant owner, with a lot of minority employees and operating on razor thin profit margins in Austin TX, it’s not so easy.
I really thought Trump’s election would cause a lot of people to open their eyes and realize that no, half the country are not white supremacists, and that there really are a lot of issues people care about and vote on. But boy was I wrong, everyone just doubled down on the “ist” and “phobe” rhetoric and plugged their ears. I haven’t heard him compared to Hitler in awhile, so I guess that’s some sort of progress.
Apolodorus
@bryan: just because you are not a white supremacist, doesn’t mean you are not a white supremacist enable. Just because you are not a homophobe, that doesn’t mean that you are a homophobe enabler. You get the picture with the rest of of the list. If you are prepared to close your eyes to what he does, who he is, regardless of the destruction he wreacks in your country to people you deem as easy to sacrifice to your vision of what America should be, you shouldn’t be surprised with the backlash.
Own it and disregard it. Don’t whine about it like the millennial snowflakes this president and his ilk deride. You don’t get to have your cake (support your candidate despite of your flaws because you feel driven to do so by your own moral imperatives) and eat it (get away without being derided by the people who are being affected on the ground by this).
This discussion goes beyond left and right. It’s about morals and fundamental rights of some of these countries citizens.

Let’s go down the list of how his “values” align with Trump’s.
Truth – Alternative Facts or better known as LIES.
Morality – Grab’em by the pu$$y
Self-reliance – Born into inherited wealth and a privileged lifestyle with absolutely no idea what it is like to struggle economically from birth.
Boundaries – Grab’em by the pu$$y, again. Or perhaps, Build that wall.
Tolerance – unqualified anti-gay picks for the courts taken by a list from the homophobic religious right. Or making fun of disabled people.

Though I lost no friends as a result of the election (I suspect I choose a little more wisely than did Mr. Levine), I do have a couple elitist female relatives who are now above speaking to a lowly toxic male like myself who would dare to vote a [fill in the blank] into the White House to actually accomplish things.

1Equality you really are a dimwit. IMHO shooting animals for trophy-sport is indeed bad behavior…and Obama went hunting for sport as well.

SENATOR OBAMA**: You know, when you’re in the South Side of Chicago, there’s not too much-too many opportunities for hunting and fishing. When I was a kid, I grew up in Hawaii, and so I would go fishing with my grandfather. And when I got older, actually, we did spearfishing there, which was sort of a combination of hunting and fishing. You know, we would snorkel. I didn’t scuba dive at the time, but I would snorkel and [use a] spear gun. And some of my best memories are going down there with friends of mine. In Illinois, I haven’t gone hunting and fishing.

Alpolodorus –
They’re elitist because they truly believe that anyone who doesn’t hold the same political and social values as they do is beneath them as a human being, i.e., anyone who voted against The First Woman President is an uneducated, knuckle-dragging troglodyte looking to take society back to the middle ages.
1EqualityUSA
Colbert, “Build the WALL!–unless the local terrain provides sufficient enough protection and can act as a natural wall proxy–MAGA!”
Apolodorus
@brody thanks for the reply. I don’t agree with your definition of elitist – but to each his own. You speak of the values that they hold and how they are different from yours, but you only gave the example of the vote for a woman prime minister. If there was a contest between Ann Coulter and a juice box, I would possibly vote for the juice box for president myself :-D.
I would like to know more about what differentiates you from them. Or me to be honest. I presume that if you met me you would potentially consider me an elite.
For me the word elite is associated with Power. Hilary is a part of an elite, Trump is a part of an elite and so on and so forth. It has nothing to do with the ideas they have but the power and money they have.
So it’s weird to be considered one when what I defend (and in this I may align with the women in your family) is equality in treatment, in oportunity of access to a worthy life, education, jobs and individual freedom. But I’m sure you defend the same things right? What separates us?

Why is it house flippers come across as selfish jerks more often than not?
Trump, by never actually saying anything about actual policy, has grabbed another, apparently intelligent (Pomona undergrad and LSE ain’t easy gets), person with no common sense, and once invested with him it is easier to forgive individual actions as they occur over time.

Yeah, this is kind of the textbook definition of intolerance. It’s not news though, we’ve seen for 2 years now that the people that scream about tolerance the loudest have no interest in actually practicing it themselves when it comes to Trump or his supporters.
Also? If you’re going to put him invoking the holocaust in the headline of the article, shouldn’t you actually include the quote where he does that? Because I ain’t seeing it.
Paco
Yes… how dare people not tolerate those that want to take away their healthcare, environmental and food safety, affordable access to education, social safety nets that many of the WORKING poor (that chose a poor v@gina to pop out of instead of a rich one) rely on, progressive tax legislation that doesn’t funnel most of the collective wealth upward to a few, the ability to shop wherever they want without being turned away because someone thinks they have the right to use their personal religion as a cover for their bigotry, oh and take away their status as equal citizens in society. Need I go on?
Brian
No, you need not go on because that doesn’t change the definition of intolerance. Any intolerant person can create a list of the reasons why they’re being intolerant, that’s kind of the whole point behind the concept of tolerance and the movement behind it.
Now let’s hear your list as to why we shouldn’t tolerate Middle Eastern Muslims.

“how dare people not tolerate those that want to take away their healthcare, environmental and food safety, affordable access to education, social safety nets that many of the WORKING poor (that chose a poor v@gina to pop out of instead of a rich one) rely on, progressive tax legislation that doesn’t funnel most of the collective wealth upward to a few”
Who said healthcare is being taken away? I’m unaware of any plans presented by Republicans that would ban or restrict people from obtaining healthcare. The last administration forced tons of people to lose their healthcare after the famous “if you like your plan, you can keep it”, which after Obamacare was passed, millions lost insurance and were forced to buy more expensive plans or pay a tax fine. If someone is so poor that they can’t afford health insurance, how does forcing them to pay a fine or go to jail help the poor?
I’m unaware of any Republican plans that take away environmental safety either. If you read the Republican tax bill which was passed, you’d see there are tax credits for clean energy throughout it. I’m guessing since Rachel Maddow didn’t tell you that, you haven’t heard it.
Regarding affordable access to education, did the last Presidential administration in 8 years do anything to lower the cost of tuition? Nope. In those 8 years, tuition has skyrocketed, yet you still vote for those same people who did nothing about it, but claim that party cares about education costs.
Concerning “progressive tax legislation”, this country already has a progressive tax system. I’m not sure how you see it as “funneling wealth upwards” when you don’t pay taxes on wealth, you pay taxes on income – hence the term income tax. The last administration which you seem to praise did nothing regarding taxation either. They had 8 years to implement or even suggest tax reform and didn’t put it on the table. Under the Obama administration, the wealth gap grew to the highest gap we’ve ever had in history. Surely you think he would’ve done something about this in 8 years, right?
So to claim that one side supports everything you listed while claiming the other side does not, is a false statement.
Blackceo
I’m with you Paco. Through the worst of the Bush years and how terrible I felt about McCain allowing Sarah Palin to subvert his message, I still could remain cordial to those who voted for them or supported them. We would get into all kinds of arguments about fiscal issues, tax policies, and social issues but at the end of it we could agree to disagree and still hug it out. Trump is different. He is a racist who sees good Nazi’s. I’m half Puerto Rican. I was beside myself with anger when I saw him throwing paper towels in Puerto Rico and he seems to really make it a point to go after Black people who dare not bow to him.
I’m not having it. Gay White men can still fall back on their Whiteness and be fine under a Trump administration. Its the same reason why so many White women voted for him. As bad as he may be for women, their Whiteness prevailed. Don’t talk to my Blatino ass about “tolerance” until you can walk in my shoes and see it through my eyes.

@mhoffman953, The poor are getting their healthcare through the ACA subsidized. Those that were lucky enough not to live in Republican controlled states that refused to expand Medicaid and join the insurance exchanges.
Who is getting threatened with jail time over healthcare? I have missed that if that has happened. The Republicans have been doing everything possible to knee cap the ACA while touting what a failure it is. Never mind the fact that they are the ones trying to sabotage it at every turn.
Democrats only had full control of the government for 2 years of Obama’s 8 year term. 6 years were spent with the party of NO, that first was only interested in denying Obama a second term. And then wasted his second term blocking everything just out of spite.
And you have the nerve to say I am the one making false statements?
mhoffman953
@Paco
“The poor are getting their healthcare through the ACA subsidized…Who is getting threatened with jail time over healthcare”
Not all of the poor people in this country get subsidized healthcare. There are nearly 12% of Americans who don’t have healthcare and are thus forced to pay a hefty tax penalty. You still haven’t explained how this tax penalty for being too poor to buy health insurance benefits the poor or lowers premiums. As far as who is going to jail, if you don’t pay the uninsured tax penalty, you will face wage garnishment or jail time for not paying your taxes. Don’t believe me, then don’t pay your taxes and see what happens.
“Democrats only had full control of the government for 2 years of Obama’s 8 year term. 6 years were spent with the party of NO, that first was only interested in denying Obama a second term. And then wasted his second term blocking everything just out of spite”
So you’re saying that everything that happened in the final 6 years of Obama’s term were thanks to the Republican party?
Paco
@Blackceo – yeah, I was furious when he was tossing those paper towels. But it also wasn’t surprising behavior for an out of touch billionaire elite either. “Oh you had a little flood? Here’s some very good paper towels. They’re Bounty. The quicker picker upper”. WTF?!!
I will never fall for the regressive cry of “You are not being tolerant of my intolerance, therefore you are the intolerant one.”
Apolodorus
There is thus mid XX century philosopher that might have the answer to your question. His name is Karl Popper:
“Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.?—?In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”
In summary: if you are intolerant and you are trying to make use of my goodwil as a tolerant person to make your intolerance spread, I’m entitled to shut you down.
So if you are advocating the sort of ideology that restricts other people’s ability to live their life with freedom and dignity (which Trump and his ilk are) it’s my duty to shut you down whenever and wherever I can.
Knight
Paco if you are interested in having an actual conversation, then know this: I have 2 very close friends whose entire families lost their healthcare under Obama and were forced to pay almost twice as much for coverage that did NOT pay for pre-existing conditions. Both families are currently struggling financially to the point that one is considering moving to Mexico temporarily to get lower-cost medicine and healthcare for the individual in question. So, don’t whine about “losing healthcare” unless it has happened to you personally.

Adam Levine has a BA in Painting from Pomona College (CA), and a Masters in Economics from the London School of Economics. The London School of Economics was founded in 1895 by a member of the Fabian Society with the purpose of advancing Fabian Ideologies. A core tenant of the Fabian Society is to win the battle not through combat but through attrition. Adam’s article is prime example of this.
Guys, Adam Levine has been publishing articles with “the FEDERALIST” since 2015. Of course, the guy is going to vote for Trump. There is nothing in his article to substantiate any claims he is making about the harassment of his friends. If, in fact, he had any gay friends, they would have left him back in 2015 when he started writing for “the FEDERALIST”.
Adam eloquently, well sort of, takes attributes of the republican party and re-frames them as ideals owned and operated by the democratic part. We all know this is far from the truth, but ask a republican and they will say they are the party of Lincoln. While Adam is missing retrospect of the republican party’s atrocities, his moral fiber is most likely based in the almighty dollar. Adams words are noting more than the same old republican talking points. If you were to ask Adam what he means by accountability on spending for government programs I am sure you will hear “we spend to much money on entitlements programs without any benefits. I can tell you what you will not hear is, the 6 trillion Dollar (over 10 yr) give away to the top 1% is an entitlement to the rich for giving us all great jobs that pay very well.
In a nut shell, Adam is an entitled white male living in a world where he can hide his homosexuality. If he were to exercise his gay rights within the republican party he would suffer a fate far greater than having his friends abandon him.

The way you can tell that the anti-lgbt Trump Troll bigots are desperate to drown out the discussion is that they KEEP HIDING EVERYTHING UNDER THE PHRASE “Different Opinions”.
Yes, Harvey Winestein and Ashley Judd have “Different Opinions” on whether rape should be legal.
Jeffrey Dahmer and the rest of the country have “Different Opinions” on whether you should kill and eat people.
Trump picked the most notorious anti-lgbt politician in the country to be his VP, a politician that was willing to sacrifice his entire states economy just to harm lgbts, Trump stated he assaulted women, he stated he would appoint anti-lgbt justices to the Supreme Court and since the appointment of Gorsuch the Supreme Court has upheld an anti-lgbt law from Mississippi that says medical personal can refuse to treat lgbts.
So when the anti-lgbt Trump Troll and his 10 different screenames are all crying that they simply have a “Different Opinion”….yeah, and slave owners and slaves have “Different Opinions” on whether or not slavery should be legal, and Polygamous cult leaders and 7 year old girls have “Different Opinions” about whether or not child rape should be legal.
The fact that they have to hide behind those words makes it obvious that they know that if they stated the truth it would crush their argument.

of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, said he didn’t believe in “extra rights,” when questioned about anti-LGBT housing discrimination. Carson has also compared being gay to pedophilia and beastiality, which actually is more tired than offensive at this point. (Rick Santorum said the same thing a decade earlier).

There are a lot of gay Trump supporters in this country. To label any Trump supporter, whether gay or not, a bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, islamaphobe, or whatever-aphobe, is merely a terribly weak argument, when you have nothing of substance to argue with. Like perhaps, issues. Nowhere is anyone taking ‘away’ our civil rights, and don’t talk to me about illegal aliens, they have no civil rights, no rights of any kind in this country, because they are not citizens of this country and are here illegally. The oh-so-wonderful Democrats you so worship have done nothing, and want to do nothing short of opening our borders so that every bit of uneducated parasites who want to come here can, They have worked tirelessly to rid us of our industrial/manufacturing base, and the list goes on and on how they have nothing but an anti-American stance on the issues. Just because someone utters that they are in favor of the homosexuals, doesn’t mean that they are, and doesn’t mean that they’re in step with what the American people want for their country. If you vote single-issue politics at the national level, then you certainly can’t see the forest for the trees. It is un-American to purposely not get along, not be friends with, someone you know, because you don’t agree on politics. All we have now is the Libs screaming because their Witch didn’t win, and their only retort is to call everyone who didn’t vote for her a disparaging name. Not smart. Not American.

“To label any Trump supporter, whether gay or not, a bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, islamaphobe, or whatever-aphobe, is merely a terribly weak argument, when you have nothing of substance to argue with”
It’s all to gain moral superiority over the person they are debating. They refuse to debate the issues because they know they would be called out for hypocrisy or proven wrong. Instead, it’s easier to accuse their opponents of racism, bigotry, xenophobia, etc. This now forces their opponent to defend himself against the accusations rather than discuss political issues.
In one instance, they’ll tell you that you shouldn’t vote for Trump because he “hates gays, blacks, and Mexicans” but then they’ll also tell you that you should’ve voted for Hillary Clinton – even though she herself was against gay marriage, was married to a President who banned gays from the military and was taken to court over rape, called blacks “super predators”, and voiced support of a wall on the southern border in the past. Simply mentioning that will bring out the the left with the usual, “stop mentioning Hillary”, but they mention her every time they discuss the popular vote. They don’t like hearing that because it points out their hypocrisy.
Most Trump voters considered the issues at hand in this election – the economy, border / homeland security, terrorism, protection of the Constitution, taxes, illegal immigration, and others. Looking at both candidates who ran, Trump was the better option when the other option had no economic plan, supported open borders, was against the 2nd amendment, wanted higher taxes, and supported amnesty which would devastate our economy.
These people still can’t accept the results of the election. So they will do whatever it takes to somehow create a moral superiority over you by acting as if your vote is shameful.

If I had a friend who revealed they voted for Trump, it certainly would be a surprise to me since myself and my circle of friends are all very liberal. However, I wouldn’t automatically dump this person out of my life but would seek to understand why voted they way they did.
Perhaps they got disillusioned, got angry and misplaced that anger as a result of something they saw on social media, perhaps they felt attacked in some way etc. Ultimately though, I’d need to make sure this person still believed that I as a gay person and other marginalized groups deserve human rights and fair treatment to remain in my life.
Friends sometimes lose their way a little and make mistakes. I’m not going to allow the emotional radiation around politics destroy a friendship if I can salvage it.
In order for Democrats to win elections, we need to get Trump voters to understand that it’s in their best interest to not vote for Trump again. Shunning them drives them further afield.

You’re saying two different opinions there. Maybe instead of trying to prove everyone you don’t agree with as wrong, you should try explaining why the current Democratic agenda (open borders, higher taxes, advocating for chain migration, issuing a carbon tax, free college, free healthcare, etc.) are the better positions
All I’m seeing in the above comments are a bunch of people trying to push moral superiority on others and calling the people they don’t agree with as dumb, bigoted, angry, or racist.

Ami I’m not a republican, but I can say you are not doing yourself any favors by exaggerating like a dram queen. The republican party does not have anything about LGBT being “less than human” in its platform. The “Log Cabin Republican” lobby has been extremely active in persuading the party to “move the needle” on its platform…but not fast enough for many. So, when Trump came out and pledged his support for the the safety of LGBT citizens and condemned the Orlando terrorist attack…did you care? Did you acknowledge this and say, “wow…great job!” My guess is no…you probably let off a quiet little queef, rolled your eyes and started thinking about something else to be bitter about.
In other words, people like you can never be satisfied, no matter what strides of progress are made. And guess what: this also bleeds over into your personal relationships as well. Ever notice why the most bitter people on this site are older ultra-liberals, like goat-face/Juanwhore?
