Trump and his Big Beautiful Bill ❤️

DISCLAIMER:This joke is homophobic. "Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic. Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic"
this article explains it well: https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5082/the-dangerous-stereotype-of-the-self-hating-homophobe
Funny, but AI images are lame.
How do you know/why do you think AI was involved?
Just because you really really want something to be true doesn't make it any more likely to actually be true.
why is using queer folk as a punch line funny? can you explain that in greater detail?
Because, to me (humor is subjective), a person that is so hateful towards LGBTQ people that has a secret life partaking in the same thing would be funny. This image can only hurt you if you let it.
humor is subjective, homophobia isn't.
So in your opinion, the only interpretation as to why this is funny is because gay man bad?
Not the OVERWHELMING, BLINDING, BURNING hypocrisy of the situation? That doesn't factor into it?
If that's the only explanation you can come up with, maybe you have some homophobia yourself.
This an an AI image. It isn’t real. There’s no hypocrisy in it. It was created solely because somebody thought it would be funny if Trump was gay.
And if you think it’s real, then I ask you, why is there only one body under the blankets?
The purpose of the image is the hypocrisy.
We understand it's AI. It was created to appear hypocritical. It would be funny if Trump were gay. Not because gay funny but because Trump being gay would be ironic. How do you not see this..?
Your opinion is gay
I feel like a suburban mom laughing when her teenager has just cursed.
As a queer person who started their antifa activity over twenty years ago defending LGBTQ marches baseball bat in hand I find this post fucken hillarious.
This dosnt even register at such levels for me but around my parts a lot of gay humour is based around use and abuse of slur terms, also to take them back, as was done with "gay" or "queer". Hardly anyone but closeted selfhating guys and the instagram raised youth would have a problem with implying a right wing politician is gay. Preferably in their "gayest" voice to a bunch of terriefied normies. It also might be true for a key figure of our national politics, but that's another story.
Because most of the staunchest homophobes are gay man with very serious problems with it, followed by weak minded guys trying to be more manly it makes sense to hit that. Addressing and poking fun at that from our, known to be overly "correct" side puts them out of balance, causes rifts, suspicion and rises pressure in their own groups leading to more conflicts and divisions, therby limiting their reach. In my country we had stirred such gossip on purpouse and involuntarily outed some of far right leaders, so now the suspicion persists in their ranks. Their weapon was turned against them.
Even if you have more issues with such aproach then people who'd been oppressed most their life: it is in fact a war comrade, and you better get around to what that actually means. No one gets out of one both morally impeccable and alive.
they are hostile to queer people is what makes it funny and you know that, troll
if an image surfaced if Mangione and a boyfriend no one would bat an eye.
the issue is when homophobes are secretly gay.
they are doing so much damage to a community they hate themselves for being in.
