MAGA Gays are shocked - that SHOCKED - that they're jeered at Pride Parades.
But the bigger questions may be, are they clueless? Or simply cynically playing the media about being conservative and gay?
There might be a couple of good reasons for the jeering, which has long been a way of expressing one's displeasure with another point of view. For one, didn't Donald Trump put into place a Supreme Court while he was president that will likely overturn same sex-marriage in the next few years? Just wondering.
Nonetheless, Trump's NYC mouthpiece, the New York Post, is making these MAGA Gays victims. In a report published Saturday, a number of them spoke out at the illiberalism they see in the left-leaning queer mainstream. One even revealed how he didn't understand why his husband wanted him to move out of their apartment when Trump was elected in 2016.
Mark Dorman, a 64-year-old gay retired teacher from the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan, recalled how his marriage was nearly ruined by politics.
"When Trump won, my husband was so upset he wanted me out of our apartment. The rage was unexplainable – I mean honest rage. I could not understand this emotion in him and why anyone would let a political vote destroy or nearly destroy a marriage," he said. The marriage survived ... "but we don't talk politics," Dorman said.
He also says he no longer visits a local queer bar, the Atlas Social Club, "since he spoke positively about the former president there last summer," according to the Post.
"I'm almost anti-gay," the frustrated Dorman told The Post. "It's an embarrassment to see this kind of behavior... I'd really invite them to go to Iran or Gaza. See what that does for you. See how fast they throw you in prison or kill you."
