I'm a Gay Activist, and After Orlando, I Have Switched My Vote to Trump
PJ Media ^ | June 12, 2016 | Anonymous

Posted on 06/12/2016 7:59:14 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

This is the saddest day of my life. I can't even wrap my mind around the horror of what happened last night in Orlando, where 50 joyful dancing queers were murdered by a religious extremist. I'm sad -- devastated, in my soul -- about that; but I'm also sad that the events of Orlando have shattered my political beliefs, as I can no longer swear allegiance to a peace-love-and-unicorns progressive philosophy that only helps to get my fellow queers killed.

Yes, there is a war between religious fundamentalism and the spirit of love and tolerance. But we progressives here in America still labor under the delusion that the religion we need to combat is Christianity. But that's a strawman opponent, and has been so for decades. Since the 1990s, Christian extremists have essentially lost all their power, and are now toothless nonplayers in the "culture wars." Meanwhile, Muslim extremists, with guns, murder us, and on the left our only response is to bleat about "Islamophobia" and jump through hoops trying to explain away the self-evident religious motivation for the killings...

Great. I’ve been doing this for years, in my own family and circle of friends, keeping my politics to myself as much as possible but they know. This guy is waking up. BRAVO. I hope this week another friend and he come around to admitting they’re voting for Trump. And they start talking about it with their friends. And they decide, life is more important than having Hillary pretend to kiss their asses.

You people are disgusting in your hatred.

Whenever you address your audience as "You people" you might be talking to the wrong crowd.

Christianity is the best friend of homosexuals. Tolerance, protection of the weak, and love expressed as ‘willing the good of the other’.

Obama called this an act of hate. No. It is an act of evil.

********************************

I think he figures that now that Christian bakers have to bake homo wedding cakes that the queers have won. And yes - he better hope there are still Christian “extremists” willing to fight the muslims in the courts and the government and in the streets when it comes to that.

Sorry buddy, the Saudis have more money. You’ve been sold out by the left.

Yup, and if Vegas wagered on the fight between the homos and islam, the homos would be 12 to 1 dogs after the weak libhole response today.

As a Christian who takes issue with this homo’s dismissal of Christianity, all I can tell it to do is eff off and dye. The terrorists kicked your butt-hurt a$$es and we don’t want your dead weight on our team.

Yep.

This "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" business really doesn't get us anywhere...with the possible exception of one vote towards the sensible choice. Provided, of course, this deviant is sincere.

"Since the 1990s, Christian extremists have essentially lost all their power, and are now toothless nonplayers in the "culture wars.""

Christians are reaping what they sow with respect to not making sure that their children are being taught state powers versus federal powers versus their constitutional protections as the Founding State had meant for these things to be understood.

In fact, it seems that Christian business owners were clueless about their 14th Amendment (14A) protections as evidenced by not using their 14A protections to defend their 1st Amendment-protected freedoms of religious expression and speech from unconstitutional state penalties after refusing to do business with LGBT people.

14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

On the other hand, note that Acts 22:23-30 indicates that Paul claimed his rights as a Roman citizen to save himself from being flogged.

You people are disgusting in your hatred. You and the others that keep spewing your hatred are the biggest turn of for me on Trump even before his liberal crap.

Projection is pathetic.

Unless of course your contract with the Uniparty establishment stipulates you express hatred for Trump and his supporters. If so, enjoy your dirty soros money.

Anyone can shoot straight with a properly operating firearm. Hitting your intended target is the objective.

Given the atrocious behavior towards, and treatment of women, Muslims also are higher on the pecking order than the dems women partner. That’s why you never hear a “feminist” say anything about honor killings, female circumcision, arranged marriages and other 2nd and 3rd class treatment of Muslim women here in the US and even more atrocious treatment in Islamic countries. You will also never hear a “feminist” say anything about the Muslim rapefest in Europe either. “Feminists” know that on the liberal pecking order, women are well below blacks, Muslims and even Hispanics. Women are essentially the human sacrifices that are offered up by the democrat party to win the support of Muslim men, black men and Hispanic men.

This is the most revealing and telling statement in the article:

“If I outed myself as a Trump supporter, I would be harassed and doxxed and shunned by everyone I know and by the Twitter lynch mobs which up until yesterday I myself led.”

He acknowledges that the progressive movement:

1) Has leaders
2) Uses intimidation and harassment to silence dissent
3) Allows no one to fall away from the movement without turning on them

"...I was a gay-activist, pro-Hillary, pro-Bernie, anti-Republican homosexual until yesterday and now writing anonymously, blah, blah, blah..."


I do not believe it.
The same way I do not believe letters to the editor saying they are a "lifelong Republican now voting for Hillary" and similar nonsense.
