This is like the 4th article I've seen you post about the unlawful riot at the U.S. Capitol that is barely related to anything remotely gay.

If I post an article about a gay person getting arrested for stealing beer at a grocery store, is that also a "war on gays"? Laughable.

This is not indicative of a war on "gays" as you call us, or on L/G/B people... this is one idiot, who happens to be gay, facing the consequences of his lawbreaking actions. Glad he was arrested.

edit: Also, what does "het is a choice" mean? Do you believe that one's sexual orientation is a choice?

How does this relate to LGB issues?

Brandon Straka is gay and is being targeted for that reason.

That is not a war on gays

I don’t see this as a war of gays. Brandon Straka wasn’t arrested for being gay.

I don’t know what Straka thinks of QAnon, but if he is pushing QAnon, then he deserves to get arrested for this. Not only is QAnon full of shit, it is a cult. It’s destroying the right wing much like how woke culture is destroying the left wing.

Completely agree.

That's what they all say every time I bring it up. All homophobes try to deny their homophobia and rationalize it as something else. This is a war waged by heterosexuals against the freedom of speech and freedom of choice of gay people.

Freedom of choice/speech doesn't include committing treason or attempting a coup...

[–]hetisachoice[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Then calling patriots traitors, especially openly gay ones, is treason and thus is not protected by free speech.

No it's not, according to the definition of treason in the U.S. In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the US, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Words are not treason, thanks to the 1st Amendment. I can say what I want, as long as I'm not inciting violence like the rioters were.

The US has committed enough war crimes to make it a terrorist state.

So has Trump, who promoted the riot.

He started the fewest wars of any President this century.

[–]usehername 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That's a plain lie. He's also the only president in this century to incite his followers to commit treason.

[–]hetisachoice[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

No, he isn't. He's the only modern President who isn't a war criminal, so the oligarchy wants to destroy him. And freedom fighters are not traitors. Calling freedom fighters traitors is treason.

You sound like a troll.

That ruined my day yesterday. Not as badly as it ruined Brandon's, but..... And I don't care what your politics are on this site unless you are Totalitarian. Totalitarian is a big problem because sooner or later they come for you.

Will Scott Presler and his beautiful long hair be next? Ric Grenell might (please please please) run for governor of California. Will he have to be silenced first?

If you didn't vote for Biden, you're not black/gay/Hispanic/etc. , is that it?

Or is the new rule "no white men" regardless of sexual orientation?

I guess I'm a little confused how this article is related to LGB issues. This man was arrested because there was evidence that he participated in criminal activity. And, even if one believed that the U.S. Capitol riot was not unlawful for some reason... there are still scads of straight people getting arrested for the same reason as this guy. I don't think his arrest was caused by homophobic discrimination.

Brandon is leading a movement away from the Woke-crats and for that he is a target. Because all your minorities "are belong to us." Had he burned down someone's business or set a police car on fire while screaming ACAB or BLM, he would not have been charged. He's being targeted because LGB are not allowed to #WalkAway.

[–]reluctant_commenter 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

What evidence is there that he was arrested for being LGB, as opposed to just being arrested for participating in the riot? The fact that he is gay and conservative is not itself evidence that he is being targeted for his gayness.

I just don't see how this is related to LGB issues.

they want to destroy his walkaway movement... just like the tra's want to destroy our walk away movement.

[–]hetisachoice[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They will not be allowed to do so. They really crossed the line this time after putting a heterosexual white male autogynephile in a major position of power.

Don't just Walk Away: run!
