25. That is an important thing

Mon Jun 15, 2026, 05:54 PM

Monday

And as a gay man, I'll just note. The "As an X . . ." construction isn't as useful as surmised.

I've been around Log Cabin Republicans my entire life. Ideology has a way of getting people to elide over bigotry against groups they claim identity with.

So I see, "As an X, we shouldn't worry about bigotry against X . . ." my brain's just going, "Oh. So . . . Log Cabin Republican. Got it."

It's just not that cute a cover when running interference for bigots.
