      When a bigot turns out to have closeted queerness its OK to ridicule them.

          These folks tend to have a pretty unhealthy personal relationship with their queerness. This person may not even be queer or trans in any way. We have no indication this person identifies as anything other than a straight cisgender male. They’re most likely just a straight cis guy with a crossdressing fetish.

            There is also a non-zero chance that he is just pissed off enough at his wife, who has been cucking him publicly with Lewandowski since the first Trump administration, to have gotten himself “caught” kinda sorta not by accident.

            In the pic I saw he’s looking directly at the camera, which would tend to indicate that he knew he was being photographed.

            It’s no guarantee he knew where that pic might end up, but on the other hand, in this digital age we ALL know that once a pic is taken, getting it out of every last repository is like trying to pull pee back out of a swimming pool.

            Maybe right now he’s happier than he’s been in ages. I hope so, anyway.

            TL;DR: I celebrate this guy’s harmless kink, everyone should have one. And honestly, if he employed it to also fuck over his wholly unnatural plastic-filled, two-timing, puppy-killing, immigrant-persecuting, MAGA-loving, murderously fascist virago of a wife that he believed was actually human when he married it, then I celebrate his harmless kink even MORE.

      The man shamed himself plenty by the choices he has made, including the shitbag woman he married and the ideology he publicly espoused. Don’t act like we’re the ones shaming him, or that we’re shaming him for being LGBTQ.

        We also shouldn’t be certain he’s queer. Like don’t get me wrong, repressed egg is on the list of potential explanations, but he could be a cishet guy who developed this kink through other ways.

          That’s true, there are several reasons for men to crossdress. There’s the people who genuinely like to look female (like trans people and drag queens), there’s also those who feel it is ‘dirty’ or degrading and view it as a kink (sissification as it’s usually called). There’s also some who do it for other reasons without much gender/kink connotations (like for stag parties, initiation rites, carnival etc).

          Not all of these imply LGBTQ, only the first one really.

          In fact most of the people from the first group tend to be really elaborate about it and make themselves pretty, and not do a half-assed job like he did in that pic. So I would think he is probably not part of the LGBTQ community, at least not based on that pic (not that that would be a bad thing of course!). This looks more like a drunk weekend joke thing got out of hand.

      Ah, the classic conservative UNO reverse play when a conservative gets busted for a behavior they do in the shadows while spending the rest of their time making life hell for anyone who lives that lifestyle in public. “I’m not a hypocrite, I’m a victim of persecution for my lifestyle and you’re the hypocrite because libs are supposed to accept me!” It attempts to thwart the opposition by turning it on itself arguing over whether it’s proper to criticize, when at the end of the day the Christian ruling class is still in a position to dictate morality to the masses while engaging in whatever they want and demanding to not be confronted about the hypocrisy. You don’t get to enjoy the protection and support of people you’ve helped persecute just because we found out you enjoy the same lifestyle without atonement for everything you’ve done. They don’t want to join anyway, they want to go back to their double standard of none for us and whatever for them while they pretend like they’ve got the moral high ground.
