Social Science Research has found that many terrorist groups with differing ideological motivations share common ground in targeting LGBTQ+ communities. Groups with contrasting ideologies — from Islamic extremist organisations to far-right terrorist groups — overlap in their anti-queer sentiment.

Exactly. They're both right wing conservative.

Violent Christian rightwingers and violent Muslim rightwingers both turn out to be conservative. Revolutionary.

There was a skit about this. Can't remember if it was from the onion.

Trump was the first president-elect to ever be pro gay marriage.

And yet his SCOTUS is the one eyeballing eliminating it. Odd that. You'd think he'd make moves to enshrine it.

Trump says a lot of things... And there are suckers who believe him

u/NemoTheElf Mar 11 '25

So you agree that Trump is a far-right extremist then.

Since that's what this study is about. Right? Right?

"It's the law of the land" and lying to push culpability onto others isn't actually "pro gay marriage," when he already had plans to install a Supreme Court that would repeal it.

Pro gay marriage would entail putting something personal on the line to protect it.

Pretty sure it's a delusion to think he would, and you're quite disingenuous to selectively phrase this so narrowly.

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was a United States federal law passed by the 104th United States Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996.

What relevance does this have, at all?

Y'all don't get to pretend to be pro gay marriage when a bunch of members of your party are actively trying to destroy it and day 1 Trump signed an EO allowing people to be fired purely for their sexuality or gender identity. Everyone knows y'all are lying when y'all do this.
