What sort of rag runs an article as hateful as this?

    Honestly, I'm surprised they're running this, at all, considering I assumed it was solely a means to divide Queer people and funnel them to vote against their issues.

    I first noticed it's advertisements on Twitter last year (maybe 2023? I can't quite remember) and it signaling to right-wing dog-whistles and ideas was immediately obvious (to me); it felt like the type of stuff Peter Thiel would believe earnestly. Present itself as innovative explorers of new ideas and the real rebels (because the left is the group that's the real authoritarians~ That type of nauseating BS).

    I just assumed it was purposeful, meant to pipeline Queer people to those ideas and peel off support for actual progress (at the time, I probably would've assumed to help with the 2024 election).

    Not sure what its purpose is, now; maybe speak to the harm the right always causes (but can't be ignored, now) to keep its readership and hopefully influence the useful idiots (in the future) to keep supporting those who wish to obliterate them.
