Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Stupid as this is, at least he worked it out? I'm a little impressed.

No he didn't:

...and arguing that they don't represent Republican views.

He's still in fucking denial.

The gay Republican I know is also deep in denial. Sad to see in all honesty

Don’t be too impressed. He still a Republican.

we should support any move in the right direction though, however small

Did he actually “move” in any direction, though?

He asked that the state GOP revoke their endorsement of him. That's something.

His previous comments imply some internalized homophobia, but this recent line of rhetoric from the Colorado GOP is obviously eliminationist, and he seems to have realized it. Maybe it leads to him more closely examining his previous attitudes, maybe it doesn't.

I'm not saying he's like, a good dude. Just worth noting that he found a line he wouldn't cross.

I don’t think that getting driven out of this party by bigots counts as “moving in the right direction“.

It's more sitting in right direction
