    My supervisor is a lesbian who proudly introduces people to her wife, and she is as rabid a Trumper as I’ve ever met. I’ve tried to introduce her to the “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” concept but she doesn’t understand the point. She has somehow concluded that it is Republicans who have fought for and won gay rights (like the right to marry that she’s a beneficiary of) while Democrats want to take those rights away. I don’t have any idea how somebody gets to a mental state like that - I can’t accuse her of drinking the Kool-Aid because no Republican media says anything like that.

    She really hates black people so her basic conservative stance is at least understandable. Except that she talks loudly about how she wants to bang the black guy that delivers our water bottles.

        I’m going to use slightly more words than you but she’s a modern day conservative: Her special circumstances are “okay” however other peoples are not. She should be protected, others should not.

        She claims that she was never interested in women until she met her current wife. She is the absolute archetype of a butch lesbian so I don’t know what to say about that.

          As a butch lesbian who considers my (left) politics a core part of my gay identity, how the heck is a Trumper the “absolute archetype?”

          Are you just using stereotypes about how a certain kind of lesbian dresses? Because I guarantee a large subset of non-feminine women act/dress just like her without it having anything to do with sexuality.

          Anti-fascist and anti-capitalist action are huge parts of being butch; it’s an OG blue collar gay identity. Please don’t equate nasty Trumpers with us. She can have a wife but the queer community sure don’t claim her.

          I mean if she wants to bang a guy, sounds like she’s just bi and married a woman?

      So, much of what you stated makes my head spin, maybe it’s due to the fact that it’s early but I highly doubt that’s the reason.
