He's totally gay for Kim Jong Un, har dee har har!' The homophobia. I'm amazed by people who, after seeing children in cages, the worst insult they can come up with is 'OMG, dudes. You can’t call the guy a fascist, a racist, an idiot, and oh yeah, a queer, at least not without equating those terms in some way. It’s even worse to defend this crap on the grounds that it’s sure to get under Trump’s skin - which just reaffirms the gross and enduring view of sexual intimacy between dudes as somehow emasculating. And Trump’s friendliness with villains like Putin has geopolitical ramifications we shouldn’t ignore in favor of “what if they kissed” thought experiments. Middle-of-the-road liberals aren’t making a great case for themselves as a moral counterweight to a rabidly anti-LGBTQ White House with this “lol ur gay” shit. This is why the First Amendment is so important. And special thanks to the 28,000 people who retweeted it.
Thank you for being brave enough to imply that Trump wants to have sex with Kim Jong-un. Thank you for being the kind of asshole who, confronted with humanitarian crises, the increased odds of a nuclear pissing match and a breakdown of objective reality as we know it, decides to share a meme where the president is cuddling the leader of North Korea. White House staffers say Trump saw this picture and was off the rails.įor the sake of don’t retweet this!! /tuLrDqsGY6
