Why would you be a part of the Republican party if you aren't a terrible person?

What are you talking about? It makes perfect sense. He was a republican and was attacked by a right wing journalist in an entirely predictable manner consistent with the modern GOP’s platform of bigotry. This is a textbook example of “The Leopards Ate My Face.”

I hate to be that guy because I feel for anybody that is driven to suicide. I've gone through two suicides in my IMMEDIATE family in my life, so I know how the fuck it affects everyone surrounding the situation permanently.

HOWEVER, when you are using the image of Donald Trump to campaign for reelection before being outed by a blog that was connected to right wing terrorists and Breitbart News then I think you can see where there are some serious fucking issues in the progression of this person's logic and political affiliations. Knowingly participating in groups that continue to justify or carry out systemic oppression is still evil even if you yourself have not publicly taken a position justifying that oppression. Just saying....🖖

He was a Republican. He was at minimum anti-trans adjacent. And yes, there's a lot of social pressure in small towns, and the South in general, to conform. Him being a closeted transvestite incorporates nuance into an often black and white issue. But one can only go along so much without being intentionally complicit, too.

He was a republican. Even if he himself was not anti-trans he was perfectly fine being in bed with those who were wishing death on trans (and others).

That’s the definition of LeopardsAteMyFace

Doesn't change the fact that he was happily a member of the party more worried about removing trans rights than ending the american tradition of kids being gunned downed in schools

Then why would that be a thing bad enough to kill himself over?!?
