"...as to why."?? Because they can. What it has always been.

This is sad. My theory is that Rumpty Dumpty and Putin and the rest of the weak dictators are closet LGBTQ folks. They think by belittling LGBTQ they make themselves look strong. The hate art, women, LGBTQ, elderly, and empathy. They are closet LGBTQ is my theory.

Respectfully, the majority of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum would never go out of their way to traumatize anyone to this magnitude. People who spew hate as a projection of self-hatred, while vile, i do not think would be capable of this behavior to this magnitude, even though they certainly feed it. Trump and Putin are the historical inheritors of white supremacy, white entitlement and patriarchy. There is nothing closeted about their behavior. There is no shame to their worldview. They hate anything that doesn't conform with equal measure. It would be the same as saying Trump and Putin are racist because they secretly wish they were black. They live to subjugate, dominate and have their egos stroked. Nothing about that exists in queer, trans, et al marginalized communities. They're not closeted. They're just garbage human beings.

I love how Heather Cox Richardson lately has been encouraging and promoting people to produce art and express themselves through art.
