Log Cabin Republicans, a conservative LGBTQ+ group, recently drew criticism for promoting a party aimed at 'normal' gay individuals, reflecting a controversial statement by vice-president JD Vance. The phrase 'normal gay' sparked ridicule as many highlighted the discomfort of aligning with a party perceived as homophobic. Critics pointed out the irony of LGBTQ individuals seeking acceptance within a group that has historically denied their rights, casting doubt on the legitimacy of their support. Online responses included skepticism about their motivations and the implications of associating with conservative politics.
In a post on Instagram, Log Cabin Republicans quoted an Outspoken article on the term "normal gay," stating they are uninterested in compulsory pronouns or the endless victim narrative.
Vance's comments might have shocked leftist activists but to those of us in the conservative LGBT movement, they make perfect sense.
Republicans are trying to invalidate your normal gay marriages too, highlighting the conflict within the LGBTQ community regarding conservative support.
Another wrote, 'Nothing screams self-hating gays more than supporting a homophobic party. The rest of the community doesn't like y'all, and neither do the right-wingers.'
