    Idk if we should be extra mad at a bigot just because they are gay. Seems to me like we should be the normal amount of mad

      We’re not extra mad because he’s gay, we’re extra mad because he’s a hypocrite.

        I’ve yet to find a bigot who isn’t a hypocrite. The firm belief that rules are for their lessers is basically the core tenet of conservatism in 2025

      If someone is a bigot, that’s one reason to be mad at them.

      If someone is a bigot or allies with bigots against something that they themselves are (publicly or privately), that’s at least three reasons to be mad at them: bigotry, hypocrisy, and betrayal of other people who are the same thing.

      You should be extra mad about someone being publicly anti gay but privately gay

      I agree. I’m mad at him because he has betrayed the people of the country he is supposed to serve more times than I can count. Sexuality, gender, race, etc. have no bearing on my feelings about him.
