@HeerJeet because, as I said, it's a message that his followers are already getting with his hypermasculinity, virility, misogyny, etc.

IOW, Trump needs not signal that gays are inferior when he's already signalling that all other men and women are inferior.

and when he's already doing so with sexualized terms and bullying; again, I'm not at all surprised that he hasn't gay-bashed.

If gay-bashing is a form of dominance assertion, what use does Trump have for it when he's kind of implying that EVERYONE is gay?

Since Trump bullies just about everyone, he has no need to pick - or nothing to gain from picking - on actual homosexual people.

And sexual orientation is different from enthnicity or religion or even class in that the differences occur in families.

None of his poor white supporters are going to birth a Muslim or brown or rich kid, but they could birth a homosexual kid.

So, sexual orientation doesn't as easily fit into tribalism, and gay-bashing carries risks that the bashing of foreigners doesn't.

Trump actually COULD alienate some of his supporters with gay-bashing, while those same supporters bash foreigners, Muslims, etc.

For people so prone to us-versus-them thinking, a gay person can be "us" in the way that a Muslim, a Mexican, etc., can't be.

@JimbauxsJournal Good arguments here but if he needs to shore up fundy vote I think he'll pull the LGBT trigger.

2.)
@HeerJeet meaning that those who are prone to admire a misogynist don't need much in the way of reassurances about his anti-gayness.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes - Show replies
