Different weird. Republicans are weird like Epstein or your creepy uncle your parents don’t let you be alone with. LGBTQ people can be weird like anyone else can be. It’s not the same

Is that what they were doing because I figured that they would follow that asshole using slurs in her ads.
Maybe she's the exception (in public.)
There's safe and fun weird, and there's creepy and dangerous weird.
Guess which one is which?
Lmao, weird is a downgrade from how they usually talk about us.
You mean to tell me LGBT individuals are non conformists?! Get the fuck out of here /s
Yeah there's no way they'll get the reaction dopamine blast they tweek for and have to go back to their regular bigotry

“Casting your opposition as cringe, lame, and weird is an effective strategy,” conservative political activist Matt Walsh posted Monday on X. “It’s visceral. It moves people. The Dems are evil but not stupid.”
How about casting your opponent as evil?
Incompetent/convicted felon/authoritarian, too, but that word/phrase is too long to go viral because social media addicts stop listening halfway through.
because both sides can do that effectively, they're looking for an edge
LGBTQs don't mind being called weird though. Normal is the insult. To be normal is to be boring. Normal people don't make history.
Only people who strive to be normal would find weird insulting.
As other commenter said, if you don't care being called weird? You are good weird, of you care you are bad weird.
