A Queer in the White House?

[truby20]

No, not Mayor Pete....I’m talking about who Trump just appointed:

Trump names Richard Grenell acting head of intelligence

Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, is a Trump loyalist with a history of stirring up trouble on Twitter.

www.google.com

Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, will be the next acting director of national intelligence. This will make him the highest ranking, out, gay person ever in the US government.

Like I said in the other thread, the first gay president will be Republican.

Based on abilities, not on being homosexual.

Exactly! But so many are focused on Pete’s sexuality, Trump will get us past it.

I'm waiting for the left to lose their shiat over this. Will they
A: Say Trump is pandering
B: Say Grenell is a token
C: Just scream at the sky in futility

There you go giving Truby more hate Trump ideas.

There are other out gay men on the Republican side...

Trump’s deputy press secretary

Trump’s Spokesperson Is Gay — And He Doesn’t Care If That Makes The Left Mad

Trump's deputy press secretary Judd Deere on what it's like to be gay and speak for the president who pushes anti-LGBTQ policies.

I’m pointing this out because some in this forum keep making really out of touch comments about Pete’s sexuality. Will they make the same insults now?

Not so fast junebug...... did you know Ronald Reagan was a thespian???

Men, typically, can sustain a stronger, more resilient relationship together than when a woman is involved.

Here are the facts, lesbian couples have by far the highest rates of divorce, followed by heterosexual couples, then finally gay (man/man) relationships.

Female same-sex marriages more likely to end in divorce than male ones, figures reveal

More than three quarters of the splits between same sex couples in England and Wales were between two women

a strong gay man, with a military background, with a GI Joe like husband, will make for an excellent Republican president.

... lesbian couples have by far the highest rates of divorce, ...

I'm shocked!

Greetings:

I couldn’t care less who is in love with whom but I do wonder why so many people in this administration are serving multiple roles and are “acting” in many areas.

Are there so few people willing to work for POTUS?

This is NOT a rhetorical question.

Lots of people are willing to work for the president, they just can’t get past the Senate so they remain acting.

All three

It does take 60 votes to end debate, and there are less than 60 willing to end the debate.

Need to remove those obstacles this November!

Imma call bullshit on this Google article. I'm no Trump defender but from day 1 he supported gay marriage. He called other countries out for their treatment of homosexuals. He tried to reach an international accord on tolerance. The only negative thing I can recall about his stance on LGBT is in regards to trans people in the military.

Pete is focused on his own sexuality. He's the one who put it on the table as a centerpiece. There are about a dozen Hijinxes who care about that crap; most Americans are like, meh. But Pete was billed as Gay Jesus and made a big production about his same sex marriage. I couldn't tell you the name of any of the candidate spouses except for Jill Biden, who was former Second Lady, and Chasten Glezman Buttigieg. Wait, Bernie's wife is Jane. So there's three.

I can even pick out Chasten Buttigieg in a photo lineup, that's how much he's been celebrated and in the news.

On some level it's a novelty, so I get the interest, but early on Pete happily promoted the Big Gay Pete persona and pressed it for attention.

Yes. Haters gonna hate.

But you certainly agree that the homo haters do not make up the majority of the Trump supporters on here, right?

I never gave it much thought but by that token wouldn't it be fair to say of he is using his sexual preference as part of his platform, then he expects to be judged on it?

It was a calcuated move intended to bring in the uncommitted liberals and LBGT crowd. I don't think it worked out though. I don't think gayness is cared about anymore. I think Ellen DeGeneres learned that about 20 years ago when she almost lost her career over her incessant "I am gay" rhetoric.

Militant gays don't like Mayor Pete. They say he's not gay enough. Plus he's not only a white man, but a clean cut Wonder Bread white man. They want him to parade around in drag, or at least some assless chaps, to prove he's one of them. Pete won't do that, so they're in Bernie's camp.

I'm just telling you what I'm hearing and cannot make sense of it.
