Gay Hispanic man here, I fully agree. If I find out someone is Republican/conservative, I just distance myself. Even if they’re super nice to me, it’s like how can you sit here and show me kindness then vote for people who are calling gay people groomers? Those politicians and pundits have inspired so much hate that drag shows are getting shut down due to threats of violence and at time, groups coming in the area with WEAPONS. How can you give me kindness and then treat immigrants like they’re subhuman? The cognitive dissonance is real. I show them respect and treat them like I would treat anyone, but we’re not going to be hanging out or shooting the shit at all. I just don’t tolerate them in my personal life.
