Absurd and stupid idle hypothetical: what would trump coming out do to LGBT rights as an issue? Like full on “I’m gay, here is my boyfriend I will be marrying”.

Doublethink is one hell of a drug. Remember, all this is rules for *other* people to follow. Not MAGA!

It would be unbelievable literally. Way too much evidence of him victimizing women sexually and otherwise. It’s impossible to imagine but if he did it I’d call him a liar and accuse him of hiding a bigger secret.

Rules are different for elites on these things, but the Religious Right would freak out. Probably bad for his coalition but he's not running again anyway. The "all stick" natcon incel freaks actually running things would probably just celebrate it as repudiation of femininity or something crazy.

I’d guess you’d see a rapid resurgence of “It’s not gay as long as you’re a top”

Yeah, imagine if he was really super in to Andrew Lloyd Weber and celebrity gossip. That would surely end him.

Seriously though, he wears a uniform, loves the cheesiest musicals, and hates doing any physical labor. He has been the embodiment of a stereotypical rich gay man for years. As long as his partner was white, the MAGAs would shrug it off.

Grindr would be absolutely insane for like two weeks, I'm certain of that.

Roughly the same thing Caitlyn Jenner coming out did for trans rights, I’d guess

gay men are currently low salience. There are a bunch of real retrograde bigots out there using trans issues as a wedge, no doubt, and GOP attitudes are regressing when polled, but the fervor is basically quiet.

Heritage Institute has a trans member so I suspect a lot of talking heads would find themselves on board, ~but there would quickly be a Right Way and a Wrong Way to be gay, and the Right Way would be however Trump does it So basically I'm asking is he a bear or twink in this scenario

It's an odd hypothetical, but worth noting his Treasury secretary is gay and married, nobody cared or even much noticed.

I don’t think it would change anything. He’s got an out cabinet member. Obviously him being out would be categorically different but they’d work around it

This is where highly personalist politics get really sort of interesting and high variance. Geniunely no idea what would happen.

Given these freaks pathologies re Classical Rome and Greece: this really, really depends on whether Trump is the top or bottom.

I see the edible hit but honestly, nobody gave a shit that he paid for abortions and I feel like that's similar. Maybe if he came out and said, "I LOVE ABORTION!!!" that would be a different thing.

Feels like this might be an Epstein thing, where he'd finally find a line his base won't cross

I’m sort of split between “it’s still bad to be gay but laws or for normal people” or it actually shifting some attitudes

Totally depends what he does next. If he says they all have to be pro gay, they will pretend they always were. If not, it's totallyignored like him cheating on his wife, epstein, etc.

There's so many example today and in history of "sure we fuck men but we're not *gay*". So my bet is on the former, broadly.
