Gay Republican candidate melts down when he figured out that his party is homophobic. He posted a three-minute video to social media calling the state GOP’s words “hateful” and arguing that they don’t represent Republican views.

  1. Endless repeat/shuffle on people leaving their bubble and being surprised.

  2. They are not the ones that don’t represent Republican views.

  3. “They don’t represent Republican views.”

    Doesn’t matter. The Republican party is dead. It’s MAGA and a bunch of people still in denial that they let their party be subverted by a reality game show host.

  4. Dude is mistaken. The hateful words DO represent Republican views, HE does not. Seems like he’d fit better in the Libertarian party, or at least an independent.

  5. The don’t represent republican views because they want to install a gameshow host/steak salesman as king, but they very much represent Republican views. 

  6. >A gay Republican politician in Colorado was apparently shocked by a recent email sent out by state party head Dave Williams, which called LGBTQ+ people “evil” and “woke creeps,” [*Westword*](https://www.westword.com/news/lgbtq-republicans-alienated-colorado-gop-hateful-pride-email-20919037) reports. Now the gay conservative is rejecting any endorsements from the state GOP following this incident.

    >While Archuleta is shocked by the email – which had the subject “God Hates Pride” – this isn’t even the first time that the state party used this kind of rhetoric. Williams sent out a similar email last year that characterized the community as demons and degenerates, a word associated with the Third Reich. In 2020, he tried to push for a bill that would ban marriage equality in the state.

    >Archuleta himself, though, has a history of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. He [previously](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/01/gay-republicans-compare-joe-biden-to-adolf-hitler/) blamed LGBTQ+ individuals for the Club Q shooting and said that queer people are “groomers” – or child sex abusers – a negative stereotype that has been used to justify hatred and discrimination.

    Sorry, Archuleta, you’re wrong. The Colorado GOP does represent what Republicans believe. Republicans don’t want any gay Republicans. They don’t want LGBTQIA+ people to exist at all. The only place Republicans want any and every LGBTQIA+ person to be in is a grave.

    This should be a sign to get out of this party and leave it for good. The Republican Party is worse than the Westboro Baptist Church.

  7. He obviously hasn’t been paying attention. SURPRISE!

  8. In his defense, nobody ever claimed Republican candidates were very smart.

  9. Nah fam, that’s a major plank of the republican party’s platform. Bringing back the good ol days when you could lynch a man if you so much as suspected him of being one of them queers

  10. Like, who does he think has been putting out all the anti LGBTQ legislation lately?

  11. >“We make no apologies for saying God hates Pride or Pride flags, as it’s an agenda that harms children and undermines parental authority,” Williams said.

    Christians taught me to hate.

  14. Nazi soldier who just joined for the snazzy uniforms and permission to be mean suddenly realizes that yes, he’s one of the baddies.

  15. If you ignore all of the evidence of homophobia, then yeah, I guess they are just racist and misogynistic.

  16. I am reminded of Jon Lovitz when he said, “Well look who just caught up” in A League of their own.

  18. What do you mean the leopards who eat faces party is full of leopards who want to eat my face???

  19. The cognitive dissonance is through the roof with this guy. He can’t accept that his party is legitimately evil and that he is the outlier.

  20. I’m curious about which part of the GOP platform he actually supports since the only ones I know about are the anti trans, anti gay, and forced birth. Perhaps he is very wealthy and likes the tax cuts.

    Did I miss anything?

  22. I am reminded of the words of John Stuart Mill who said, “I did not mean conservatives are generally stupid; I meant that stupid persons are generally conservative.”

  23. “Oh no! I never thought the leopards would eat MY face.”

  24. I have a black gay anti police regular cross dressing marijuana using friend hardcore republican who works for gop in the Midwest. 

    Spending the last 15ish years acting working to oppress yourself is utterly mind boggling to me. 

  25. What a load of bullshit.

    I don’t buy anything this person is selling.

    **How** do you get this far along before you realize that the GOP hates gay people? You don’t. It’s fucking obvious.

    This is a fake ass bullshit manufactured story and stunt. I don’t buy any of this.

  27. I never cease to be amazed when I hear a gay person who supports Trump, and the Republican party. It’s like chickens for Colonel Sanders!

  30. “They don’t represent Republican views.”

    Man, he almost gets it. He almost realizes that the modern Republican party is in name alone and nothing else. No modern Republican has a political party these days. Republicans don’t exist anymore. You are only voting for lobbyists, extremists, and corrupt people. (a bit of a blanket statement, but it’s too wide spread not to be)

    The only way Republicans actually get a political party back is to remove the current Republican party. Vote for good, other candidates if any are available. Or, vote Democrat (gasp!) and kick them out that way. Then wait for next election cycle and a new set of candidates that are hopefully better. Rinse and repeat until you actually have a party of competent people.

    If you don’t, you’ll have nothing.

  31. His attitude reminds me of that of Jews on trains to German destruction camps, still thinking everything will be alright.

  32. Stop bending the knee to those who will kill you, at least make them fight their asses off to get you down.
