On the Secret Gay Mafia Behind the American Closetocracy | Trae Crowder

So I saw the Hunter Biden thing and was like, fuck this! I'm not covering it. Explaining the complexity of my thoughts and feelings on the matter was more than I have energy for 4 1/2 months into a (non-COVID) personal health crisis that eats all my strength.

Look, Trae Crowder is a straight cis man, and his wording is not always perfect, but he captured it pretty much exactly. It's sort of homophobia all the way down, both on the part of Republicans and on the part of people on the left attacking them this way, that the closet is not an excuse for this sort of terrible behavior, and he unpacks it really beautifully, both with the nuance I'm not up to expressing just now, an a level of emotion that is pretty much what I am feeling too.

I'm probably not going to say much, or even anything more about the Biden/Graham closetocracy thing unless I see something really compelling worth sharing.

happy (belated) 41st birthday
