I WAS TEAM DESANTIS BEFORE HIS DISGTG ANTI-GAY AD

There’s one problem for DeSantis, though: I am a gay woman. Ltle did I know DeSantis was farther to the right on issu that meant the most to me and the more than 70 percent of Amerins who support gay has ma clear the past few weeks that he’s more terted appeasg Twter trolls who abhor any Amerin who intifi as LGBTQ+.

CHARL BARKLEY FENDS LGBTQIA+ MUNY, BUD LIGHT EXPLETIVE-FILLED RANT: ‘IF YOU’RE GAY, GOD BLS YOU’

To DeSantis, if you are gay, you are not allowed to be a part of the nservative movement. If Tmp was someone who don’t support the movement, DeSantis is an all-out gayns has nothg to do wh the fact that Florida is a boomg state an otherwise lacklter enomy. That beg said, DeSantis has ma abundantly clear that he do not support gay Amerins regardls of whether they support his nservative I first enuntered DeSantis durg his bold stance agast COVID mandat earlier this year, I was generally pleased wh the Florida ernor.

A LIST OF JAM DEAN’S (ALLEGED) GAY LOVERS

It beme evint that DeSantis was not the champn of dividual eedoms and rights that I had hoped anti-gay rhetoric and actns are not only eply hurtful to LGBTQ+ Amerins like myself but also tarnish the image of the nservative movement. DeSantis’ stance on LGBTQ+ issu not only ntradicts nservative valu but also reflects a severe disnnect om the majory of Amerins who support gay rights. Acrdg to polls, over 70 percent of Amerins support gay marriage, and this number ntu to rise.

By disregardg such a signifint portn of the populatn, DeSantis reveals a ncerng lack of unrstandg of the evolvg societal norms and a gay woman, my sexual orientatn is jt one aspect of my inty, and should not fe my polil beliefs or my place wh the nservative movement. DeSantis mt regnize that his anti-gay rhetoric is not only harmful to LGBTQ+ Amerins but also trimental to the very prcipl he claims to uphold.
