Dan Savage DESTROYS Gay Trump Voter Who Wonders Why He Can't Get Laid

Dan Savage DESTROYS Gay Trump Voter Who Wonders Why He Can’t Get Laid

Featured, Of Interest, Opinions and Rants, , , ,

Over at The Stranger this week Dan Savage schooled, shredded and annihilated a whiny gay Trump supporter who wonders why no one in the gay community will touch his dick with a 10 foot pole. 

I am a 28-year-old gay white male living in Houston, Texas. In the six years since I came out and became sexually active, I have used various apps off and on, for dating and for sex. I like to think I have done my best to be respectful of the people I have slept with. Recently, I have noticed a handful of profiles that explicitly state “I do not sleep with republicans” or “Trump supporters swipe left.”

As you might have guessed by now, these labels apply to me.

I am asking you to set aside the (I imagine) revulsion you feel toward me and think clinically of the choices presented to the object of these proscriptions. So far, I have always blocked, left swiped, or ignored messages from these profiles. This is the most charitable course, and is self-respecting.

However, it is also an ethical requirement? There is nothing that betrays my political affiliation on my profile. If I wanted to sleep with one of these people, I could. I could subsequently reveal my voting history or could vanish without my partner ever becoming wise of it.

I view written proscriptions against groups of people as mean spirited at best, but I think everyone has the right to their own filter (even if I view it as the moral equivalent of a Gryffindor saying “I don’t sleep with Hufflepuffs” – and yes, this is your chance to joke about Slytherin). If I sleep with someone while declining to volunteer information that would have caused them to withdraw consent, am I functionally sleeping with them without their consent? Does the interaction (however satisfying their orgasm) devolve into some sort of rape?

Curious to know if you would also reach this conclusion, how you might weigh it relative to other sexual sins and misdemeanors, and more broadly, how you think those of us on the right should treat our woke counterparts when our paths cross romantically.

 

Sorta Wondering If This Commonly Happens

Mr. Savage was not having it and let it rip.

So first let me say: Fuck you, SWITCH. Fuck you for being part of the racist, sexist problem. Fuck you for your deplorable vote in 2016.

Not quite moving on…

Voting for Donald J. Trump—being a gay Republican—doesn’t make you a “member of a group” that has historically faced “proscriptions,” discrimination, and state-sanctioned violence. It doesn’t make you a “member of a group” in the sense that being gay or person of color or Muslim or an immigrant or trans makes you a “member of a group.” You aren’t a member of a protected class. You aren’t being discriminated against on Grindr, Scruff, Recon, et al, for who you are, SWITCH, but for what you’ve done.

{snip}

So, SWITCH. Honey, baby, darling. The question you should be asking yourself isn’t, “Why won’t some gay men sleep with me?”, but rather, “How on earth do I sleep at night?” (Alone and deservedly so, of course, if you take the question literally. But I don’t mean it literally.)

And for the record, SWITCH: even if Trump weren’t attacking gay men and other queers—and even it hadn’t been abundantly clear before the election that, if elected, Donald Trump would attack gay men and other queers (THE ASSHOLE PICKED MIKE FUCKING PENCE AS HIS RUNNING MATE)—you still shouldn’t have voted him. Even if he weren’t an anti-LGBT bigot, SWITCH, he’s a racist bigot and an anti-Muslim bigot and a sexual predator. You should’ve cared enough about women and people of color and immigrants—many of them queers—to vote against Alternative Universe Pro-LGBT/Anti-Everyone Else Donald J. Trump.

Here in our universe, Trump is attacking queers and it makes sense that queers don’t want to sleep with queers who helped make those attacks possible and continue to support Trump despite them. Someone who puts “no fats, no femmes, no Asians, no blacks” on your profile? That gay guy is mean spirited and that shit is unnecessary. (There are kinder ways to express your precious “preferences,” guys.) Someone who puts “no Trump supporters” on his profile? That gay guy doesn’t want to be alone in a room with someone who approves of gay bashing and who can blame him.

There is MORE so I suggest you head over to Dan’s column and check it out.  It’s deeeeeelicious.

Get The Scratching Post! – Kathy Griffin Goes After Harvey Levin and Miss Andy Cohen! – Video

Entertainment, Featured, , , , , ,

Kathy Griffin released Harvey Levin’s phone number on Saturday, revealing the private information in a YouTube video. The comedienne said she was doing so in retaliation for how he’s treated her. But she also goes after Andy Cohen, alleging he asked her to do cocaine before “Watch What Happens Live.”

The video begins with Griffin slamming TMZ and its role in kicking off the scandal that plagued her earlier this year when she posed for a photo with a replica of Donald Trump’s bloody head.

“It’s not at all over. It’s still going on. In fact, it’s gotten worse for me,” she says. Griffin then plays a voicemail Levin allegedly just left for him on Friday, asking her to call him. She plays the message in its entirety, purposefully so people can hear the phone number that he asks her to call him back on.

Bloom, who initially represented Griffin at the beginning of the scandal, and the star recently had their own war of words in the media. As the video goes on, Griffin switches topics, bad-mouthing Cohen, who seemingly shaded her in a TMZ video this week, but also goes back to Levin, and suggests he’s in cahoots with Trump and speaking to him multiple times a week. “Is that okay with you guys?” she asks. “The president is talking with a gossip blogger?!” Griffin then returns to the subject of Cohen, alleging he not only treated her badly when he was a Bravo executive overseeing “My Life On The D-List,” but also asked her to do “blow” with him before a “Watch What Happens Live” taping.

“He’s going to say he was kidding. No! He was asking me to do cocaine with him,” Griffin, a self-described “straight-edge” insists. “That made me very uncomfortable… I don’t know why he gets away with that.” She further “calls out” other NBC Universal executives she claims did her wrong, and then brings up TMZ again, calling it a “deeply misogynistic website,” where the “ageism is out of control with this guy Harvey Levin.” Griffin mentions Levin’s sexual orientation, calls his TMZ TV show “[expletive],” and says he’s “no different than a straight-up deplorable.”

Andy Cohen does blow!  How 1980’s Miss Thing.

Comedian Chelsea Handler posted a photo of her and two friends holding Nordstrom shopping bags outside the White House after Trump called out the retailer for dropping Ivanka Trump’s collection for the new season.

“Took my gay and Muslim friend to Nordstrom and then to the White House to pay our respects,” Handler wrote on Facebook. She posted another pic to Instagram with the caption, “A Jew and a Gay went to pick a Muslim up from the airport, headed straight to Nordstrom, and then headed over to @whitehouse to give our thanks!”
