not a personal attack on but*ig*eg, but I think one reason I admittedly resent his candidacy (aside from his recent opportunistic policy shifts) is that he represents many of the characteristics I once felt I needed to embody in order to be accepted as a gay man. (1/3)

this isn’t a “pete’s not gay enough” criticism - it’s not really a criticism of him personally at all. it’s more a criticism of the culture that left me feeling that way as a younger guy, I guess? (2/3)

of course it’s expected that the “first [any marginalized group] to be president” needs to be palatable enough for mainstream america to tolerate their candidacy. but it’s still disappointing! (3/3)

this piece is great and adds some good perspective/nuance to the broader conversation. https://twitter.com/urdadssidepiece/status/1200480403360043009?s=20">https://twitter.com/urdadssid...

I will NEVER forgive him for not debating in drag. https://twitter.com/ramcharanredd16/status/1200515450553028608?s=20">https://twitter.com/ramcharan...
