Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a history of harsh anti-gay language from his time as an attorney for a socially conservative legal group in the mid-2000s.
No I didn’t think the commenter meant gay as an insult to be clear, just that if not carefully phrased it may come off that way. I know the hypocrisy is the main pont. I think that makes sense if it’s like, a story about someone being caught with a rent boy or something sure. In this case though I didn’t see anything in this story to provide any evidence that this person is anything but straight.
I’ve just noticed this tendency that for any anti gay politician, the comments will immediately fill up with tons of people insinuating well that politician must be gay then. It starts to feel like it’s a insinuation that all homophobia is just gay people doing it to themselves or something. Or like makes homophobia into a “gay problem” that straight people have nothing to do with. Which obviously isn’t the case.
I know it seems like a stereotype, but it does happen not infrequently that gay-hating GOP politicians get outed in embarrassing ways as massive hypocrites, and not even always as gays. Hypocrisy is a major cornerstone of the GOP.
I have no skin in this game, just wanna say that there has to be some level of ego-syntonicity involved for this asswipe to even think about non-het sex and the people who engage in it. He’s not just repelled by it, he’s fascinated by it: that literally has nothing to do with gay people, but everything to do with himself.
In other words, there has to be something extremely compelling in it for him personally, or he wouldn’t be thinking about it so much.
And if there’s one thing we’ve all learned about Mike Johnson R-La today, it’s that he has spent a LOT of time – and I do mean FAR more than all the average straight folk I have ever known – thinking, talking, and writing about the very subject he claims to be so repelled by.
For the record, het and non-het are the same to me in that I honestly don’t care what people get up to.
It’s literally none of my business. I just want you to be safe and happy and enjoy the same rights that I do.
But when hate-filled, self-blind freaks like Johnson start coming out with “these people must die” for no reason other than that “these people” exist, I absolutely have to entertain the very real possibility that the fervency of his hatred is a projection – along with the absolute certainty that whatever his fucking problem is, it is 100% himself, his own, and no one else’s.
