Grand Obtuse Party


Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Caitlyn Jenner Is Cruzing for a Bruising": 

She comes out as trans and she's the greatest thing since the clip on bow tie. She endorses a Republican and now she's the worst thing since Pat Robertson. Good God I'm embarrassed to be gay, no wonder they hate us.

I realize I'm mostly preaching to the choir here, but for the life of me I truly cannot understand what seems to be a never-ending lack of critical-thinking skills demonstrated by people on the "other side of the aisle." This commenter, who professes to be gay and is clearly a Republican, offers the same utterly illogical argument I have heard time and time again when trying to have discussions with conservatives. As I responded on the post where this comment was left:
Our position is completely consistent. We'd celebrate anyone who came out as trans and be leery of anyone who endorses policies that discriminate against LGBT people.
How can anyone with a working brain not see how this is a completely logical way of thinking? What am I missing here?

I believe you answered you own query. It requires a "working brain."
