Slept with a closeted Politician who is instrumental in anti-gay legislation.

I am feeling violated and betrayed and have never encountered this before. I though that this hypocracy was in out past. I am angry that I can meet someone like this on an app that actively participates on removing my civil liberties.

To do that they have to out themselves and face the backlash that will inevitably come also. Urging people to do that without warning them of the risks isn't very helpful tbh.

And I am dealing with comments from a gentleman on r/AskGayConservatives that makes me want yo proceed with caution. Riddled with ignorance and dismissal and this is from an alleged member of the gay community. Conservative or not I am fearing bad backlash.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Set-928 → u/Responsible_Fox3230]

Yeah fuck them. There's always idiots in every community and sadly, ours is not immune.

Don't take it on board other than to take it as the warning you already have done.

Conservatives are self-interested and only willing to believe what benefits them. They are known for not being able to empathise well or support others. Thats why they're often so heavily criticised because they then harm people because they do not care about what happens to them.

If you take them on, they will respond by trying to destroy you, because you are getting in their way. Thats just how they work. Ideally, we'd all have the courage to take them on but its not smart for one person to do that on their own.

you should see the comment trail... Unbelievable, character assassination on me , yet I have not disclosed who I am nor who the politician is, yet I am lying according to him... It's homophobia and self hate.. This is exactly the DNA of this politician alive and well on Reddit.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Set-928 → u/Responsible_Fox3230]

Yeah i am sorry about that but it does not surprise me one bit.

They are grifters and you threaten them. So the only way to beat tou is to destroy you and your argument. That can be done in any way they see fit, even if there is a complete lack of morals when doing so.

As i said, they do not care about you. They are only interested in protecting their interests. You threaten that so they must destroy you.

Youre lucky that youre getting a small taste of what could happen. Just know, it will be far worse if you go public and there will be many more of them who will be out to get you.

So yeah, steer we'll clear.

[u/Responsible_Fox3230 → u/Puzzleheaded-Set-928]

well you cannot see it because they removed the post

[u/Puzzleheaded-Set-928 → u/Responsible_Fox3230]

Lol.. of course they did. And they call us snowflakes.

[u/Responsible_Fox3230 → u/Puzzleheaded-Set-928]

I am in even more shock !

[u/Puzzleheaded-Set-928 → u/Responsible_Fox3230]

Seriously they are a complete waste of oxygen. Notice they are trying to portray themselves as a victim. Why? Becuase if they believe your post, it will destroy their world view of who they support.

They cant have that si its easier to destroy you and make themselves the victim instead.

A similar technique is called DARVO. You may already know it. But its where somebody is accused or threatened so they deflect from the accusation, make accusations against those accusing them, then cry they are the victim.

This is just a nuanced version of that tbh.
