Reply to comment by Shame_On_Matt in ‘Openly Gay’ Rep.-Elect George Santos Didn’t Disclose Divorce With Woman by mission17

I think you should refresh yourself on some gay history and how outing politicians who voted for anti-LGBTQ legislation was critical for the Queer rights movement: https://www.advocate.com/commentary/2019/11/14/how-outing-republican-25-years-ago-changed-politics-forever

In this case the idea is the same. Hold your Representatives who have power over your human rights accountable to honesty.

If a politician wants to use their sexuality to justify an anti-LGBTQ agenda, they can be very much held to account to answer questions about it. I still don’t understand why your indifference to asking politicians difficult questions should preclude anybody else from doing so.

this is no way shape or form related to outing anti gay politicians. That was absolutely necessary.

Maybe you should form the legion of gays to start authorizing who is and isn’t gay since you’re obviously the authority.

If you say so, then it must totally be true.
