    Ah, the Hateful Gay Type. Met a few of them in my life, all Trump supporters too. Never made any damn sense to me. Like they are driven by being a bitter piece of shit.

      I get the feeling they’re just normal hateful people who happen to be gay and are angry about it and committed to making it everyone’s problem

        I think the implication is that “angry gay” is a distinct category with traits that aren’t purely the result of being angry or being gay.

        Also I think people get way too hung up on the idea that being “normal” is good, so not being normal must be bad. Since that probably can’t be fixed, I think it’s better to use the word “typical” instead of normal because it’s not so loaded.
