Things That Make Me Go Hhmmm...Log Cabin Republicans
You see that look of surprise in yer boy Hank here's eyes up in that graphic above? Yeah, that's the look I have when I hear that there are some homos out there that still lick the boots of Republicas, the GOP, and our orange wunderchunk. Just wide-eyed, are you fucking punking me with this BS amazement. So, in previous posts about Things That Make Me Go Hmmm, I focused on popular mainstream gaywad stuff that most people agree on and like and appreciate, but that I'm less than jazzed about for whatever grumpy, curmudgeonly reason. But when it comes to Log Cabin Republicans, that bastion of mentally deficient, self-loathing crumb eaters willing to bow and scrape for any chance at recognition by the cabal, even if it's to sit in solemn silence at the young people's table...in another room...I'm going to assume that we're most of us on the same page abotu our general disdain for these cretins. And now I hear, and this is why I'm writing this, they are set to host a Pride event at...wait for it and be not at all shocked...Trump Tower in NYC.

Remember this sad, pathetic moment in history, when some low-functioning aide quickly scribbled those words across the flag for a quick photo op that most of us laughed at? Well some sucked that up faster than Beau Butler at a gangbang with him on the Lazy Susan. This was back after his first round of making all things terrible when he tried to for the 2020 win. And the LCRs haven't learned a damn thing. In fact, like JK Rowling defending her social media posts, they are digging their three-inch heels in deeper than, well, dicks driving into Beau Butler at a gangbang. (Sorry, but that metaphor conjures too many hot images to only use once!) Of course, what do we expect from an organization so deluded that they actually endorsed this guy?

Now, of course, they are backed into a corner. Instead of looking at the administration's reprehensible recent rulings and track record of attempting to decimate the trans community, erase who we are and what we've done (looking at you, Hegseth and your decision to remove Harvey Milk's name off that Navy ship!) and so many other ills and simply saying "Yeah, our bad, sorry, we'll start working with the community at large and try not to lick the hand that is killing us," they're hosting a Pride party at Mount Doom.
PrideRight will be held June 28th, and your $175 ticket allows you to walk around a small part of Trump Tower, eat hors d’oeuvres off of trays, and includes an open bar and a "full line-up of guest speakers." Although, as The Advocate reports, no speakers have yet been announced. Speakers. Great. No crappy entertainers? No Kid Rock? No Jesse Keith Whitley? Maybe they're on the "yet to be announced" list. And the party is only from 6-8:30. Two and a half hours? For a Pride party?! Oh, right. They wanna knock off early to go into the park across the street and cruise each other 'til dawn.
As you may know, the administration has done its best to make Pride go away, choosing not to make an official proclamation. But that's par for the course given his refusal to do so during his first term. When asked about this, his blonde mouthpiece Karolina Leavitt only said, “There are no plans for a proclamation for the month of June. But I can tell you this president is very proud to be a president for all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or creed.” Not sure where sexual orientation fits in there, but oh well. I'm sure Log Cabin folks heard that and thought, "Gee, they really love us!"
The following not insignificant conservative groups are listed as sponsoring the event: Women’s National Republican Club, New York State Republican Party, Manhattan Republican Party, Young Republicans National Federation, Metropolitan Republican, New York State Republican Assembly Campaign Committee, and the College Republican New York Federation. BUT The Advocate reports that none of these groups are helping to promote it.
The mainstream and less-than-mainstream gay community needs to make a concerted effort to ostracise and eradicate this, to use their dear leader's own term, the enemy within. I'm not even going to examine why they exist, why some gays feel compelled to beg for the scraps. They're masochistic, closeted power-bottoms with big bankrolls and a need to hold on to that. It's just about the money, pure and simple. Always has been, always will be. As the poster in the following IG post says, "They traded community for clout. Civil rights for country clubs."

I changed my mind. This doesn't make me go "Hhmmm." This makes me go "ARGH!!!"
