Here's the thing I don't get about republicans. It seems like a drastically high percentage of republicans are in some way gay. Which is fine. I've never ONCE heard anyone say "oh, this politician is gay, that makes him a bad person!"

Of all the things to hate republicans for, the left has never been one to hate someone for their sexuality. As long as it's with a consenting adult.

So if their "enemies" can accept them as gay, why can't they accept themselves?

You know how this wouldn't have been an issue? If he'd have just said "Yeah, I'm on grindr. I like other men. Thats who I am."

Oh, and also maybe don't join an organization whose sole purpose in life is to destroy you, and everyone like you. That would be like 1940s Jewish people defending the nazis, until they get outed for being Jewish.

Just be you, man. If you like sucking dick, go suck some dick. There's no need for this facade. We don't hate you for your sexuality. We hate you for your facist agenda, and racism.

Fuck the church, fuck republicans. With that out of the way, i too would sue a company not able to keep private information secure. The solution to homophobia surely would not be to force people out of their closet. While this person right here might be an asshole (in working together with homophobic pieces of garbage), there are enough vulnerable people out there that have a right to choose who knows about their sexuality. Especially in a religious hellhole the U.S. still seems to be in parts. That is why i can not really laugh about these news too much. Corporations do not only get away with greedily collecting too much of our data but also with spilling it everywhere. Fuck them and burn them.

Normally I wouldn't care who prefers which genitals, but....

oh his data outed him. I thought it said his date outed him and I wasn't sure how he was suing Grindr over that

Maybe don't lie about your values and convince others to follow due to complaince pressure from an imaginary deity, then feel all guilty when called out to the point that you exercise your social clout to intimidate those that have the gall to question your hypocrisy.

They sold his location history and it was used to identify him personally.

In a just world, that would be jail time.
