“I am not gay bee the word gay nnot so much more than same-sex sire, ” Donovan announced, unr a psdonym, on the first page of 2006’s Androphilia: A Manifto: Rejectg the Gay Inty, Reclaimg Masculy (echog, probably untentnally, the speech Tony Khner wrote for Roy Cohn Angels Ameri). ”) Or artist turned reporter Lucian Wtrich, who joed the Whe Hoe prs rps when Tmp-cheerg blog Gateway Pund (eded by a gay man) received s first crential.

” To say nothg of trans issu, which most gay alt-righters rejected (“I know three transgenr people our movement, ” Counter-Currents edor Greg Johnson offered, before argug agast the signatn. In Androphilia, he prais activists who fought to crimalize gay sex and to bat stutnal difference to AIDS “It would be remiss not to cred the Gay Rights Movement for fightg agast this sort of opprsn, tolerance, and tentnal negligence, ” he wr, but “havg achieved relative tolerance for same-sex-oriented people mastream culture, and havg brought an end to police harassment and wispread discrimatn, the Gay Rights Movement has turned to npickg.

’ The left has succsfully displaced this sentiment to the fake ‘gay muny’ or to leftist general, but the te wir fay for gays is their particular tribal or ethnic group. While pictns of gay life films and TV seri typilly portray LGBT+ people as polilly-active progrsiv, there is a growg swath of LGBT+ nservativ real-life, some of whom hold far right iologi — a juxtaposn that often shocks those enunterg for the first time.

That might seem particularly peculiar given that many of the ias currently beg poed by the far-right promote racial hierarchi, transphobia, and even anti-gay sentiments.

This recent report highlights a signifint divi that has existed and persists wh the LGBT+ muny — whether we have moved beyond the shared experience of margalizatn that gave rise to the movement, or if we have entered to a "post-gay" era. However, gay men have played a pivotal role promotg some of the most discsed topics nservative polics — cludg an ia known as "the great replacement" theory.

It may shock rears to learn that a gay French sociale and artist named Rend Cam ed the "Great Replacement" theory, an ia which has been promoted far right circl. Among those promotg the ias are Jordan Peterson; gay polil mentator Dave Rub, who if has not directly promoted Great Replacement theory has promoted transphobic and anti-lbian rhetoric; venture palist Peter Thiel; and Sam Harris — all "members" of the Intellectual Dark Web. Some of the tras had already been cultivated by specific subsets of the gay muny long before Milo Yiannopoulos, Dave Rub, or Great Replacement theory were wily known.

This is more than jt njecture and a body of empiril rearch explor the threads of discrimatn wh LGBT+ spac based on genr, race, age, and abily which alce and form hierarchi of bety wh gay culture. Most gay men e to realize early on that, wh gay culture, there is premium placed on beg whe, young, physilly f, and attractive by Wtern European cultural standards. When Rend Cam penned the "Great Replacement" theory, he may have merely been exprsg opns which whe gay men were g as jtifitns for holdg racist iologi long before he published his book.

Ined, numero social media acunts exist that are voted to exposg racism on gay datg apps — for stance, GrdrWhileBlack, which posts screenshots on both Twter and Instagram page. While the gay and LGBT+ muny may seem like an odd place for the seeds of right-wg extremism to take root and sprout, the culture that has been built post-Stonewall is one that has been creasgly modified and, as such, creasgly exclive.

The term post-gay was ed ially by Pl Burston, a Brish News Journalist, who, when terviewed, said he "meant tongue--cheek, not the way has been taken recently.

On the ground, this has played out a variety of surprisg ways — om promotn of QAnon by LGBT+ persons, gay men openly g racial slurs on datg apps, and the general adoptn of thorarian posns which margalize those at the bottom of the LGBT+ world. Here the Uned Stat, we've had parallel velopments wh gay men promotg ias that naturalize hierarchi of bety—claimg that their bety standards are not socially nstcted but natural, and even a product of human evolutn. In terviews that I have nducted wh nservative gay figur, they reerate that they want to be seen as equal to — not distct om — their straight unterparts.

Feelg rejected, the men found a warm embrace om nservative iologu — such as when gay fluencer Christian Walker, son of former football player and polician Herschel Walker, took to Twter nouncg Gay Pri ftivals; or, former Brebart employee Milo Yiannopoulos' sensatnalized behavr, some of which was directed at the larger LGBT+ muny. In my ethnographic work on gay culture I've met many men who layed g out, myself clud, bee of the "body fascism" or "toxic masculy" that exists the gay muny.
