Gay man goes on Tucker Carlson to praise anti-LGBTQ bill & condemn "wacky gay activists"

An out gay guest on Tucker Carlson’s show denounced “wacky gay activists” and “gay media like CNN” for opposing Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill, which would ban teachers from discussing LGBTQ people.

LGBTQ conservatives have decided to become the most ardent defenders of the bill that LGBTQ equality advocates say could increase LGBTQ teen suicide as young people will feel more alone and ashamed because who they are is considered too shameful to discuss in class.

Tucker Carlson asked Chadwick Moore of the Log Cabin Republicans why there’s so much “hysteria” about the bill. The bill was proposed as conservatives are trying to ban books all over the country that discuss racism and LGBTQ people, including even innocuous books like And Tango Makes Three, which is about a baby penguin with two dads.

“If wacky gay activists, childish wacky gay activists want to drive the White House, the Democrat Party, gay media like CNN into this arena of demonizing concerned parents after what happened in Virginia last year, this year now with the midterms coming up, I mean, more power to ’em,” said Moore, so excited to attack other LGBTQ people that he could only speak in incoherent run-on sentences. “It’s a terrible look!”

Chappelle hasn't been supportive of the LGBT community. As such, I probably should have considered a different analogy.

Along with hating LGBTQ's - especially the T's - Chappelle himself is becoming Clayton Bigsby (see: That whole fight over his investment in his town and affordable housing.)

When fiction becomes fact... and not in a good way.

These so called gay Republican men are fucking so ashamed of themselves and they say dumb shit like this because the rest of the community doesn't accept turncoat backstabbing gays. This guy jealous because most gays are fabulous and he sounds like he wasn't invited to a few pride rally's in the past.

Care more about their own money and power than their fellow LGBTQ's. It's that simple. I hate to use the saying, but, it applies... "Every whore has their price." Someone named Moore's price. Money? Airtime with Fucker Carlson? Who knows... But whatever it was, it's enough for him to now go and attack his own community.

I've told the story here before, and I'll do it again. In the 90's and early 2000's, I had a friend... He too was a gay Republican. He'd gleefully endorse Republicans, and even ran for office. Bush, you bet. Romney, hell yeah. Trump, sure. Even that monster Tim Donnelly (the former CA state rep, not the recently deceased actor from Emergency!), who ran on a platform of wanting to destroy all rights and protections for the trans community.

Why? Why would he do this? Money, of course! He was born on third base, thanks to his parents being wealthy. So, of course, he grew up thinking he hit a triple. And protecting his money was more important than protecting people like us from Republican monsters who'd gladly destroy us.

"I guess my money is more important than my rights." Nice. Sell your own rights then. Selling the rights of others is basically expecting us to be your human shields, or nothing but a pawn to you.

And, yes, as I said, he also ran for office more than once, despite being publicly closeted. "I'll win, then come out and force the party to change..." Sure you will. And I have a date with Scarlett Johansson tonight. She's even wearing kinky boots for the occasion. At "best", they'll force you out of the Republican party...

People like Moore and Caitlyn Jenner are the worst. People more than willing to sell out their own community. Not only do we wind up hurt, listening to one of our own saying such shit... But then we can count on the likes of Fucker to keep on using their words as weapons against us. "Chadwick Moore/Caitlyn Jenner don't think you deserve these rights! Who are you to question them?! Why do you think you're entitled to special treatment?!"

Go to hell, Chadwick Moore.
