Isn’t Pete gay?

He's also very happy to throw trans people into the bus.

there are plenty of transphobic gay people

The purity testers run wild on Bluesky.

It is 3 years from the election. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PURITY TESTS.

This allegation gets thrown around a lot but it's also been & being used against enough groups of ppl that folks care about that one has to wonder what one stands for if it's ok to disregard Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims, trans & immigrants. If we can sacrifice them then what ARE we fighting for?

Wild amount of ground between Pete, or any mainstream Dem's position, and disregarding these constituencies. They've taken a momentary break from calling Biden a war-crimnal to attack more party leaders.

'these constituencies' ?

"...and disregarding the humanity of '𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦'." FTFY. We all know what dog you're whistling for. Be a better human.

They're not constituencies. They're people. Some can't vote & some don't live here but their very lives are being determined by our actions. Biden deserves a lot of smoke. If he hadn't run & if he had imposed *our own laws* on his policies toward Israel maybe we wouldn't be living in this hell.

Let's put it this way. All the Trump lawlessness? Biden ONLY displayed that for Israel. He was fine with forgoing parts of his agenda if the sacred parliamentarian ruled something couldn't be done but he threw our laws & international law out the door to help Israel commit war crimes.

Denying people human rights is not a position anyone should have regardless of party. And the Dems that do deserve to be called out for it publicly and consistently. We don't tolerate intolerance. Just admit you're a bigot.

Bc fighting for principles of equality, dignity & respect for all is what "the purity testers" fight for. That a specific grp gets a lot of attention at any given moment is a reflection of the aim of one's hatred atm. They're not MORE important than anyone but nor are they expendable

Taps the sign.

It's not a purity test, it's a decency test. You failed.

Pete is trying extremely hard to be "one of the good gays." He'd throw Chasten under the bus if he thought it would poll well.

remember when he said in front of Chasten that if he could he'd take a pill to turn himself straight?

I was trying to remember what he said then! That was so freaking weird. Straight up said that shit in public.

It would be weird if he had said it. He didn't. He talked about the way he felt as teenager, in the closet, in a Catholic school, when he didn't know anyone who was out. Past tense.
