Seeing your comment mentioning homophobia I wonder if this is a result of internalized homophobia but sprinkled with being "progressive and woke"? But yeah, they really delude themselves thinking that a trans guy with a gay man isn't just masculinized straight woman forcing a gay man to like her and her "boy" pussy....

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure it's just a socialization thing. Most people follow the leader, they don't want to risk expulsion from their in-group. Being LGB already makes us vulnerable, I can understand why someone wouldn't want to risk losing what little support they have.

That's how cults propagate, though, by preying on the vulnerable and desperate and lonely. It's easy to let someone else think for you, especially when you're tired from the fight. But we have to have the courage to do what's right, not just what's easiest.

No, there's a simpler explanation: he wants the TQ+ money and credibility in their organizations, that's it.

He has no integrity whatsoever.

Yeah, it's probably just a marketing thing. Including the T will garner praise and awards from the activist organizations. More recognition, more money.

That was my first thought, also. Just left a comment about it.

I do think that internalized homophobia is at play in more of these situations than may be apparent. It's not just money-grubbing. If people like this are actually homosexual (and not closeted bisexuals), there's gotta be some internal pain and cognitive dissonance going on there.
