ATTN "Patriot Front" members who are anti gay you should learn some real patriot history.

George Washington and the Continental Army were not doing so well until a
German gay man, Baron Von Stuben showed up to help. Washington never
lost a battle after that.

In WW II allied shipping was going to the bottom of the Atlantic in huge #s
because of German U-boats but a gay man (along with many others) Alan
Turing, helped to build one of the 1st computers that allowed the allies to
break the German coded messages sent to the U-boats which shortened the
war and saved God only knows how many lives.

BTW Turning committed suicide post WW II because he was being prosecuted
for breaking British sodomy laws.

This picture makes me smile.

... terrorist threat America faced was from right wing/racist/militia groups and the
Republicans blocked that study. I dealt with some MAGA Trumpers on election day
in 2020 and some were really bottom of the barrel nasty shits.

The intersection of white supremacists and anti-abortion rights ideology isn’t new — in fact, abortion restrictions have often been tied to increasing anxiety among white nationalists.


https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/patriot-front-s-anti-abortion-advocacy-march-life-sends-clear-ncna1287952

And Patriot Front wasn’t the only white nationalist group in attendance; the Groypers, a white nationalist group led by Nick Fuentes, who is being investigated over the role he is alleged to have played in the Jan. 6 insurrection, also attended, donning crucifixes and “America First” flags.


Let’s be real: Patriot Front and other white nationalists groups don’t crash the March for Life’s party. They show up because the March for Life’s message resonates with them.

"Turning committed suicide post WW II because he was being prosecuted for breaking British sodomy laws."

Part of his punishment to avoid prison was to agree to hormone treatments. The theory back in those days was that they could "cure" someone who was gay by giving them the opposite sex hormones their body normally made. Of course now we know that's absurd - what they did instead was induce strong dysphoria in him. Certainly gender dysphoria as his breasts grew, as he was gay not trans. But also, sex hormones co-regulate serotonin, and serotonin is our most basic regulating hormone. If the the sex hormone circulating in the body doesn't match the receptors, nothing feels or works right. Immune, autoimmune, hunger, thirst, mood & emotions, sleep, sensory, digestion...the list goes on. That he committed suicide as a result tends to surprise few trans people who've gone through it at & after puberty.

BTW as a straight man I came to grips with "the gay problem" many years ago. I don't have
sex with men. "Problem" fixed.

I wonder how many of those Y'all Qaeda Patriot Front Men have deep set homosexual urges because
in my 60+ years going around the sun I have found that in many cases the more men complain about
"gay stuff" the more likely they are to be gay or screaming closet cases.
