Cool. Maybe he could do some good for the LGBTQ community from the inside of the enemy camp. Probably less possible if liberals gay-shame him.

lol

This rationale has been used too much in the last 10 years. “Well yeah x is awful but maybe I can do some good in this administration…”

And if we go back far enough, you’ll see similar rationalizations for those in other autocratic regimes. It doesn’t work man. The LGBT community won’t be helped if Scott helps Trump and the GOP gain power.
 
So You're going to gay-shame him and feel justified about it?

Cool.

Don't pretend like you support the LGBTQ community. You don't support them any more than Trump does if this is how you're going to play.

I doubt Trump contributes monthly to local LGBT community help groups. Does Trump volunteer at Encircle?

I resent those who use their political power to trample those in the most vulnerable positions. Scott could be an advocate for a marginalized group. Instead, he uses their bones to build his career. The GOP uses the LGBT community as a scapegoat for power. Scott feeds into this knowing he’s hurting his own. But he doesn’t give a ****, because his career is more important.

You may disagree with me taking shots at him, highlighting his hypocrisy. But don’t compare me to Trump. That’s a bit off base. My beef isn’t with the LGBT community. My beef is with politicians who use the LGBT community as punching bags, knowing deep down that they are part of that community.

LGBTQ people can exist as they are.

That includes political affiliation.

Im not arguing that they shouldn’t. But they shouldn’t punch down.

I’m arguing against building a political career on top of the marginalized community. Scott is doing that, and it’s disgusting.

So when a gay person punches down as part of their political affiliation according to you the appropriate response is to gay-shame them?

Take a step back and think about this.
