Black and gay? I'm just confused. Didn't you get the memo that these are the two things Republicans hate the most?
Cognitive dissonance
No, they hate black and gay women more.
But if he wouldn't grift, he would be even worse off! can't be black, gay AND poor, what would they think of him!
I'm sure he's definitely grifting somehow, but being black and gay I'd imagine people on the left would throw money at him if he wasn't a piece of shit. I don't know if he is, just saying if he wasn't then it would probably be easy and he'd have the benefit of not having to deal with actual racist nazis
Nobody parts with their money like the right. The left doesn’t just rally behind anything with the right keywords and will often provide emotional support before anything else.
The left has so many people who are abused for just being who they are that something like that is a Tuesday and not special enough to warrant sending $10 to a rando. There are bigger fish to fry and many would rather go after the instutions that allowed the pain to happen in the first place than pat themselves on the back for a weak bandaid solution.
There's lots of gay black guys, why would the left throw money at him?
Maybe he's a masochist.
Maybe he hates transgender?
Probs thought it cancels out.
