      I still don’t understand how any queer person can be a republican, let alone get nominated within the party.

        Black either. Or brown. Or red. Or yellow. Gotta be crazy to live a non white experience in America and vote Republican. Crazy, or stupid. Maybe both.

        Seriously, one of the few remaining platforms they seem to rally around is delegitimizing trans people, fearmongering against drag queens, and censoring any books that acknowledge gay people exist. The Log Cabin Republicans have big Jews for Hitler energy.

        It’s the Republican hypocrisy that makes it noteworthy, vilifying drag queens while (for a time) defending a morally bankrupt one within their ranks.
