I hate trumpers and all, but this is gonna lead to suicides and is essentially just outing gay people to cause them harm, even bodily harm. I was raised to think that was wrong, but I guess if it's done by you it's ok?
Ah yes, but republican gay people. So only gay people who support things like Project 2025, which basically wants to eradicate the entire concept of homosexuality.
As far as I understood it at least
The Post said "conservative" which is a bit broad. There are lots of conservative straight men and women who aren't homophobic or against LGBTQ people. Republican is less broad. Far right now specific and so on.
Well, I agree it is broad, yeah.
But, like... we'll see if there's gonna be any republicans trying to distance themselves from Trump. There were lots who endorsed Harris and who refused to endorse Trump, but not endorsing Trump just isn't enough with this level of threat to democracy, imo.

I’m personally a fan of the MLK Jr quote, along the same lines:
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.
Oh fuck that's true enough. Personally to me that is.
Sucks that being anything other than straight is a health risk for large segments of the population.
That being said, enabling or fostering that same risk isn’t in their best interest. If they’re unable to be the change they want to see in the world, then who do they expect to stand up for them?
If outing conservatives for their projection materially changes anything, it will be a first. That said, I fully support this endeavor.

The scariest part of this movement for me is being targeted because somebody thought I was conservative. *shudder*
I've been getting this for the last few years because I look conservative. Sigh. Seems like it will soon get worse.
My father sometimes complains that he cant wear his red fishing hat anymore, because unless you pay close attention to the different design on the front, it looks like a maga hat.
It's just like the American flag.
Anymore if I see someone have an abundance of American flags flying, or stickers/bumper stickers I don't assume they're patriotic I assume they're a racist bigoted trump supporter.
Damn racists stole the American flag the way they think gays stole the rainbow.
The red hats that say “made you look” make me laugh, but I haven’t wanted to buy one because they look a little too convincing 😔
I saw one that said black lives matter, and chuckled. Well played

I'm 6'3, 300 pounds, built like a linebacker. Shaved head. There aren't a lot of clothes that look good on me and actually fit (finding a shirt long enough is hell). I tend to wear jeans and wife beater with an unbuttoned collared shirt in the summer, and flannel in the winter. I also tend to wear the shoes the podiatrist gives me (for now. So long medical insurance after 2025).
I have 100 percent been confused for a skin head on numerous occasions. If I'm leaving Walmart after dark, women will rush to their cars if I have to pass close by. I don't blame them. It sucks, but I'm glad they're acting on their safety over my feelings. But it does still hurt my feelings. :/

i've never been comfortable with the usage of the term "outing gay men" in this specific fairly negative context.
their fallacy isn't being gay -- that by itself is nothing wrong and should never be associated with a public shaming exercise.
no, the problem in this scenario is their hypocrisy in denigrating other gay men for their activities while indulging in those activities themselves.
this whole series of events should be called "exposing the hypocrisy of loud-mouths" instead of "outing gay men".
It’s not outing gay men, it’s outing gay conservatives, which already has the loud mouth hypocrite angle covered.
Fucking for democracy. Now that’s the kind of civil war I can get behind.
You... might have misunderstood the assignment.
I didn’t hear your dad complaining
Well... At least withhold that ass until he stops voting Republican!
But dumb jocks are really good and pounding. 😩

Conservative forums are talking about rounding up immigrants, letting women die in clinics and stripping people of their rights and dismantling Democracy.
Here on the "left" lemmy, we're arguing whether calling out hypocrites is a step too far we've got to be respectful after all!
This is why the left sucks as organising and actually voting for change in unison. A simple thing as outing assholes starts a 10h discussion, meanwhile on the right they are building cages....
Oh I'm sorry, not cages, enclosures without exists, we don't want to offend people identifying as cages!

This made me think of this 20s clip from Thor: Ragnarok.
Sounds like Ole Chuck was paraphrasing possibly my favorite poem which is also totally appropriate for our times. That is "The Second Coming".

People are turning on each other. Like those saying Latinos should out each other to be deported. Nothing but more examples of how divisive the Trump regime is. I suppose I don't have to look up how this kind of thing has happened before in times of fascism. I'll bet it's gotta be true.
If a closeted person is passing laws, making policy, or using their platform to the LGBTQIA+ community, then outing is self-defense.
