Contra Spem Spero
You nailed it, rareboy.
It didn’t strike me as a coming out story so much as an opportunity to interject himself back into the spotlight. Thing is, he didn’t just come out. He’s clearly been out for a long time, just not publicly, something most of us never contend with.
It would be one thing if he had spent his adult life repressed, clinging to religion and tradition because of his upbringing, and apologetic for projecting that onto his charge as a public representative. He’d get dragged for sure, but it would at least be understandable and relatable, and in time, something he could overcome. But he wasn’t, he was at fooking Coachella and cruising around on the gay spring break party bus.
That’s out.
Meanwhile, he was knowingly falling in line with the establishment of popular opinion to maintain the status quo because - as he now says - elected officials can’t be activists? Take that, AOC, Warren, and Sanders... If I ever had an ounce of respect for this confused GOP suck boy, nine pages of Courier font killed it by explaining he knew exactly what he was doing and had absolutely no professional convictions.
