I resent the idea that, as a gay man, mayor pete's failing upwards represents something liberatory for me.
Should Peter Theil inspire the same in me?
he's not a democrat, you say?
what about Ed Buck?

at what point do I get a say in who represents a win for folks like me?
To me, Mayor Pete represents the same white supremacist, patriarchal & cisnormative syatem that a similarly placed straight man would.
that's not "invalidating his identity".
I'm well aware of the ease at which my fellow homos engage in & benefit from oppressive frameworks.

and, let's not be cute here.
you're average normie yt liberal gay man has absolutely no compunction in completely invalidating queers who do not or CAN not pass their sniff test.
there's a reason why "no fats no femmes no asians" is a common refrain among the Dan Savage set.

this is not me being "vengeful".
it's me acknowledging the conflict between gays who are easily able to assimilate to maintain cishet comfort & those of us who won't or can't.

lol the nerve of expecting radical queer folks not to side eye mayor pete.
no one invited you to sit with us.

they all want unity, but unless it includes ALL of us, including the ones that make your pep-pep uncomfortable, this unity can never be.
lol, there's this weird club of liberals who think that salty, radical queers dunking on mayor pete is somehow oppressive to him & it truly is some clownery.
why is my self worth wrapped up in my feelings over someone who wouldn't spit on me if I were in fire?
: "be nice to the gay man that EYE have affinity for, lest you hate yourself."bitcj, no.
mayor pete is the "right kind of gay" & his success while being completely mediocre is a demonstration of that.
$10 says I love my gay self more than pete does.
truly, these gentrifier gays want so badly to be oppressed by me
I'm willing to do it.
I just want to be paid up front.

lol these assholes coasted to relevance on the backs of the kinds of queer people they'd call the cops on.
I deserve this. I really do.
the point was explained in some great detail.
this kind of mentality is super weird because it reduces people to a single point of their identity & elevates it to the most important thing about them.
