I think he’s probably trolling in some way? Or maybe this is exactly what some conservatives want to hear, so that’s why he’s saying it. He seems to have learned exactly what to say to make people like him.

This is the same guy who hopes everyone has forgotten that he called Trump “America’s Hitler,” so he could just be extremely stupid.

I don’t think he’s stupid. Some people who grow up poor develop a talent for knowing how to ingratiate themselves to others. His changing opinion simply means that the target he wants to charm has changed.

evidences ,

I don’t think he’s stupid…

More to this he graduated undergrad summa cum laude and got his law degree from Yale. I think this dude is actually smart and that concerns me.

jdaxe ,

He probably says this to lend credibility to the idea that homosexuality is something that can be “cured” or “outgrown”

OldWoodFrame ,

It was part of his memoir written at the age of 22. He was trying to sound cool and clever and add color to his grandmother’s character because she asked a 6 year old if he wanted to suck dicks. I wouldn’t think too hard about it.

PepperoniNipple ,

These headlines/news never reach republicans. We are in two complete different Internets.

Franconian_Nomad ,

Spoiler: He‘s gay.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Unless he’s a fascist republiQan.

Mouselemming ,

That’s the part that’s wrong, not the gay part.

Um,that Q was for QAnon, not Queer, right? Or are you trying to say being queer somehow makes a fascist republican even worse?

homesweethomeMrL ,

Hahaha - no, its for Qanon.

Words is funny sometimes.

Let’s not jump to conclusions… he could be Bi.

If sexuality is a spectrum, he’s definitely not firmly on the hetero end.

zcd ,

Which is totally fine right? Unless he belongs to some sort of extremist group that base their identity around intolerance, racism and homophobia… but that’s just crazy talk! This guy could be the new VP!

bolexforsoup ,

No it’s not fine because he is insinuating that it is a choice that can be logic’d into and out of

ImADifferentBird ,

I mean, for some people, it is. When you’re exploring your identity, you don’t always get it right on your first try. Just like there are people who are convinced they’re straight that are actually gay (or bi, or pan, or what have you). Though that is far more common, largely because of the societal pressures to conform to heteronormativity.

But then, perhaps that truly is Vance’s case here. Maybe he actually is gay, and his whole… everything is just him trying desperately to convince himself otherwise.

bolexforsoup ,

Being gay is not a choice.

ImADifferentBird ,
@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’m aware of this, but again, people don’t always figure themselves out the first time. We are messy beasts.

halcyoncmdr ,
@halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world avatar

Right, but the reason he’s saying this at all is to try and make the claim that it is a choice, and that he simply changed his choice. Not that he found his real self without societal pressure.

bolexforsoup ,

OK but that is not the same thing as making a choice to be gay. That is the entire point. What he said insinuates that it is a choice.

ImADifferentBird ,
@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t doubt the facts of the story, even if I doubt the conclusion he reached.

Should we tell him? I think we should tell him.

peopleproblems ,

So I get it, but that adds further fuel to my idea that Trump is using him to throw him under the bus.

He just wasn’t repressing hard enough.

What part of the boot does one pull on to increase repression?

My first thought too.

YurkshireLad ,

It’ll be game over for him if he starts to vogue while on stage with Trump.

some_guy ,

Can we convince him again so he’ll target himself?
