“He who shouts the loudest” is a common phrase used to indicate someone who is acting like a hypocrite. It does not mean they are literally the loudest anti LGBTQ representative out there. He is a member of the GOP which opposes rights for the LGBTQ community. That is what makes him a hypocrite.

Nothing in this tweet is misleading. I don’t expect you to agree with that though since your comment implies you don’t support trans rights (how the fuck is someone on the fence about another human having rights) and are likely a GOP voter anyway.

It does not mean they are literally the loudest anti LGBTQ representative out there.

Agreed. But it implies a lot more than simply "acting like a hypocrite." It implies the person is constantly or vociferously condemning something. Not just one time checking a box.

I don’t expect you to agree with that though since your comment implies you don’t support trans rights

The fact that you are turning to a baseless ad hominem and misrepresenting my position in order to claim that is why I won't agree just exposes how little faith you have in your position.

LOL! I love that you are in here acting like you are just being reasonable. If you are a member of the GOP, and gay, then you are a hypocrite.

Everyone can see your BS for what it is. I’ll bet you go around saying you are fiscally conservative but socially liberal too. Get out of here with your garbage.

If you are a member of the GOP, and gay, then you are a fucking hypocrite.

I'm not sure I agree, but you are welcome to that opinion and it's besides the point. The point being that using the phrase "he who shouts loudest" for this guy is, at best, grossly misleading. The only positions I know about him are pretty mildly "anti gay" if you can even call them that at all... additionally, it doesn't even appear to be a big issue for him because I don't see him pushing it constantly.

Attacking me and making shit up about me because you need me to fit in some little box doesn't change this reality. Sorry.

You are fitting nicely into my “little box” all on your own. Anyway, I don’t really see any merit to this conversation anymore. Bye.

Parting shot while fleeing defending a failed position. Classy.
