Gay Republins like Gee Santos want to ny , but hatg gays is part of the MAGA package, the seethg rentment that they have for everyone and everythg that has eaten away at their hegemony. This is an important shift — or rather, an important revelatn of what Amerin homophobia has always been: An extrible part of right-wg, ultra-patrtic natnalism, bound up wh racism, sexism, and hatred of immigrants. The people attackg gays right now aren’t relig fundamentalists as much as they are natnalists, “patrts, ” and extremists — proponents of what some have lled “Whe Christian Natnalism.
As much as gay Republins like Gee Santos and Milo Yiannapoulos want to ny , hatg gays is part of the MAGA package, the seethg rentment that the still-domant group of Amerins have for everyone and everythg that has eaten away at their hegemony, om the phrase “Happy Holidays” to Spanish-language tax forms, abortn pills to no-flt divorce (y, they’re g for that too), rabow shirts at Target to the Black Ltle Mermaid. If anythg, the relative peace we enjoyed over the last several years was due to – I hate to adm this – Donald Tmp, who dulged his alli’ homophobia but is clearly not a homophobe himself. But there are enough Amerins — based on recent pollg data, around 30 to 40 ln Amerins – who regularly list same-sex marriage and the acceptance of gay people (let alone trans people) as the signs that Ameri is head for moral llapse.
