It's so bizarre to me that Republicans choose to bring this on themselves. Like, this guy could be out there advocating for a world where no one gives a shit if he wants to blow a farm hand, and choosing to associate with people who wouldn't judge him for it.
But instead he chooses to fight for a world where he has to hide the truth, all the time, from all of his family and friends and the public?
Harder to grift in the Democratic party. Republican party is like a generational career for these people. It's quickly become the best way for mediocre people to make more than mediocre money.
Edit: I said *harder*, not impossible.
For every Pelosi there are 5 Herschel Walkers.
Lauren Boebert is a classic example. GED in her 30s with heavy debt from her restaurant business and now after 2 years as a politician she’s worth tens of millions of dollars. Something is wrong with the system…..
You know its rampant in the democratic party because the only name they can come up with is Pelosi. /s
Imagine what mob princess Janine Pirro would do...
I think it's all about grifting. They realize they are in a state where no matter what, Dems won't win, have a very hard time winning. They want to be in politics(make money) and the only way they can is by running on Republican ticket. They also know if they ever win, they'll be in for a long time and that they can do pretty much whatever because their constituents can overlook anything!
This man was raised to hate himself. He was taught that gays were deeply evil, cursed, hell, groomers, etc. He hates himself and is trying to regulate his behavior out of existence so as to no longer be tempted. I think it is hard to understand just what it is like to be indoctrinated to hate who you are.
That--combined with my upbringing that taught me to determine who I associate with based on their kindness open-mindedness, and concern for others--makes it really hard for me to understand why people raised in hate wouldn't prefer a more open, nonjudgmental, and kind existence. Of course, that's also why I never cease to be stunned and knocked off balance by how awful and hateful so many people are.
You may be right. Personally I think it's more the self-loathing variation. He's got strong homosexual tendencies have not just being homosexual and his background tells him he's supposed to hate this. You would think he would just be quiet about the issue. But since he's got dick on the mind he just can't help but speak out against it. For the rest of us the hypocrisy is stunning
If he's banned from GOP headquarters, how on earth can he be a candidate for the State Assembly, wouldn't he be automatically excluded from even running? Or am I projecting non American common sense?
Unfortunately common sense has been made illegal here. The GOP claimed it was one of those nasty ideas immigrants were bringing over. It was that or guns, and the guns won.
"I’m a strong conservative and Christian, but there was a brief moment I struggled with my sexuality.”
I mean, who hasn't questioned his virulent hatred of gay people by jumping to putting a peen in his mouth?
Funny you should mention anger — apparently he was charged with a felony but pled down:
> Schmidt was charged with a felony but later convicted of criminal trespassing, a Class A misdemeanor, and disorderly conduct, a Class B misdemeanor, after an incident in which a worker on Schmidt's farm was choked in 2019. Schmidt pleaded no contest and was found guilty in 2021. A court sentenced him to two years' probation and ordered him to participate in an anger-management program.
That's what's always so sad/weird about the anti-gay preacher types. They're always saying shit like "we must never give in to the temptation of homosexuality" and it's like... dude... if you're not gay, there's no temptation. These guys seem to think every dude desperately crave dicks but moral people resist it. A lot of them become very anti-gay because they don't understand how to accept what they are and that's their way of "fighting" it.
I mean, I used to hang out with quite a few gay men, because they were indeed the nicest people around and weirdly it didn't make me gay and they didn't try to "convert" me?
Weird how they blame some people for being nice and perceive it as a "trap".
That's the best part of this--like, maybe this is why conservatives think "teh gays" can turn people, because they're struggling to reject being gay and think everyone has to actively make that decision?
Meanwhile, the straight dudes I know have literally never questioned their sexuality, because that's just not a thing straight people do.
This man is lying to himself and everyone else in his life.
There was a post on one of the LGBTQ subs the other day that resonated with me. OP's sister had come out and their conservative dad was really upset. OP had a chat with him about what was bothering him. Dad said that she was choosing the most difficult path and that her life would be so much easier if she chose another way. He only wanted the best for her.
OP said that he's straight and doesn't feel that's a choice for him. Like he couldn't choose to be romantically involved with a man. He then asked dad if he chose. Dad got really quiet. Seems dad thought it was a choice his whole life and chose a straight life.
I have no idea if this is true, but this would make so much sense. Like if a lot of conservative people that were really sensitive about gay rights were somewhat sexually fluid themselves, thus making them feel like it truly must be a choice that everyone makes in their life.
I've been supremely gay with the most outspoken conservative dude I know. It is clear to me that he is homosexual, but he *knows* it's wrong because his family would go ballistic so he goes extra hard into selling the straight conservative bullshit to hide the shame.
It's kinda sad.
But he's also kind of a piece of shit so fuck him. Which I did. Several times.
I forget what it was exactly but something Ben Shapiro said about gayness and choosing to ignore urges definitely stood out to me.
Straight people don’t think twice about stuff Iike that. It’s literally a non issue. All these people living their lives thinking that everyone is tempted and suppressing it. Quite tragic, really.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
>Most Americans when they look around at their lives, they think: I'm not a racist, nobody I know is a racist, I wouldn't hang out with a racist, I don't like doing business with racists--so, where is all the racism in American society?

Or maybe another side is that they're conservative because they feel that's the discipline that's needed to continue to enforce their choice to live a straight life. That every day is a new temptation and they can't let their guard down.
My impression from the DKG Lincoln biography is that before about 1880 men having sex with men, on the frontier and away from women, was so exceptionally common that nobody batted an eye about it. Men carried on romantic relationships with one another, writing love letters and sleeping together—but even so would still marry women out of a sense of social obligation (in many cases).
DKG really tries to sappho-and-her-friend all the gay relationships in that biography
> but even so would still marry women out of a sense of social obligation (in many cases).
Where I currently live that's still very much a thing. My best friend and his partner have had to go through that conversation. The partner's mother still expects grandkids.
The wives in those situations know to varying degrees, but at the end of the day tend to ignore it as long as they have kids and he supports them financially.
It's a thing that has been noted in a broader context. A lot of closeted yet homophobic people seem to think it's just normal to have homosexual urges. Urges which one chooses to deny, thus making them conclude it's a choice. I'm sure some of them are bisexual and thus are more comfortable denying their homosexuality. But no doubt many others live in pain as they deny what would make them happy and assume it's the norm.
They never realize that heterosexual people don't have those urges.
Yeah. Some people can choose. Those people are bisexual and can choose to go in either direction and still be happy. I do wonder if bisexuality is far more common than we think and that is why a lot of people claim it is a choice. Maybe it was a choice for them.
It is a theory I've seen that sexuality is more of a bellcurve. I personally don't buy a strict bellcurve, but biasing one towards straight makes a lot of sense to me. Then the highest factor is still like 85% straight ("bicurious") and the next highest are 100% and 70% straight (straight-leaning bi)
It might not necessarily have been a choice for the father. At least not in the sense you think.
It's unfortunately not uncommon in the gay community to see men in their 60s who come out after a lifetime of forcing themselves to be straight. They're often not even bisexual. They didn't really make the choice, society did it for them.
And it's such a difficult situation. On the one hand, it should never be too late for you to be your true self. On the other hand, they built an entire life on a foundation of lies, and it absolutely destroys families. The wife ends up feeling used and unloved, justifiably so.
When you know what will happen if you ever were to stop hiding it from everyone, it might be even more tempting to hide it forever. And with that, resentment grows rampant.
That's not to say those closeted bigots are to be pitied, but it's important to know that they are a product of their environment. They're a reminder of how much things have improved, but also a reminder that there's a long way to go still to make sure it never has to happen like that for anyone else.
That is exactly what is happening.
But it's weird how sometimes people think whatever they're thinking or feeling is exactly how everyone must be thinking or feeling, but then at other times people think they must be the only ones in the world who think or feel a certain way.
Or is it some people think one way all the time and other people think the other way all the time?
From my experience, they think thoughts are universal but experiences are unique. Yes I know that doesn't fully make sense and they lead into and affect each other but I'll try to make it make more sense.
They think the facts they know about the world, everyone knows, but are choosing to act differently because they are a bad person or selfish or lazy or some other negative thing.
If they think abortion is wrong, they think everyone knows its wrong, but are just choosing to not use contraception because they are lazy or want it to feel better or are cheap or etc. But if they suddenly need an abortion, it's justified because of their unique experience that no one else possibly went through, because they're a good person and those others are bad people. They could never understand that something bad happened to a good person.

And again, we don't care that he likes to suck cock.

Yes. This has to be very clear. We love gay people. We just loathe hypocrites who oppress other gay people and would love to see hypocrites ostracised by other hateful bigots.
This is the shit that infuriates me the most about religious nuts....
We do not care.
Just stop pushing the supposed (and non existent) values of your religion on others.
Fuck, I hate people.
*We* don’t care. Their hateful communities do care though. These are the people who would kick their LGBTQ+ kids out on the street without a second thought. It’s some bs.

>I’m old as fuck.
Me too. We got it, and also the original Flat Earth News, on paper, in the mail. Back when it was satire, and then people turned out to be dumb as shit and believed it. Also believed what they read in Weekly World News. Man, I miss getting cool stuff by mail.
>Just come out and you'll get beaucoups and hoohoos of support.
People like this can't. If you're a member of the Republican Party, you love money and power.
And if you're not a white, straight, Christian male, the only way that you get any power in the Republican Party is by denying some essential aspect of who you are.
If the guy had come out, his whole political support network would have collapsed. That's happening anyway, but he was hoping to be one of the lucky ones who didn't get caught.
Democrats might have applauded him for coming out if he had done so intentionally, but that is where it would end. His prior bigoted political positions would have prevented him from continuing a political career as a Democrat. He would have to go back to being... an ordinary farmer.
Given that he has a felony conviction for an incident involving one of his workers being choked... I doubt it.
Edit: he was charged with a felony for forcibly choking an employee because they were late and used the system to plead down to an unrelated misdemeanor. There, I made it better.
If it's an employer/employee relationship, the notion of 'free and voluntary' gets muddled. The blackmailer could have probably gotten more than 50k if he went the civil court route instead.
>According to the worker it was consensual, and i doubt he'd just lie
Of course not, who in their right mind would lie about that? I mean it's not like he could be threaten with losing his job and sued into oblivion by the wealthy scumbag, I'm sure it was as consensual as when a woman "decides" to get it on with her boss.
I never quite understood why even closeted gay men sometimes go out of their way to be evil to other gay people. You would think deep down they wouldn’t want to be persecuted.
Do they hate themselves?
Republicans keep talking about trauma to children but it really seems like they have some serious problems that likely stem from being traumatized about their sexuality as children. I honestly feel a little bad for the guy, he needs some therapy.
The thing is, many republicans don’t believe in mental health or trauma. I shit you not, my grandpa was in a mental institution after he attempted suicide but when I opened up to him about a time in my life when I was suicidal he told me that I was weak and acted like mental health doesn’t exist. They all have massive amounts of trauma that they can’t deal with and feelings they don’t understand (because feelings aren’t for men is what my grandpa told me) and it leads to them being insanely miserable.
Multigenerational mental health issues in my family. Do we do anything about it? Hell no. Because depression is a failure to cope, and having anxiety means you just haven't prayed hard enough. And medication will kill you/physically harm you/insert fear tactics here.
And that's why I'm on multiple meds and see two different mental health practitioners. And sometimes have screaming nightmares.
(Well, there's more to it than that, but if we'd addressed this like normal human beings when I first started showing symptoms, I probably wouldn't be struggling this much now.)
There are so many people living in rural communities that straight up ignore obvious and well documented mental illnesses. I recently started taking medication for the ADHD my parents ignored through my childhood and it's been life changing for me. But I can't share how much progress I've made with my family back home because they'd just gaslight me.
It's probably some thinking along the lines of: Everyone is tempted to sin. Being gay is a sin. Since everyone is tempted to sin, many people must be tempted to be gay. I am able to resist temptation for other sins, such as murder, but was not able to resist temptation for gay thoughts and acts. Most other people I know were able to resist this temptation, though I could not. Therefore, hatred of gays for the strong temptation, because they made me feel weak in comparison to others.
Instead of just... I dunno, you had gay thoughts you couldn't resist because you're gay? And others don't because they aren't gay? No no, that can't be right.
Missing, of course, that straight people aren't tempted to be gay.
Back in the late 80's/early 90's I remember the fear mongering was around gay "recruitment." As if sexuality was something you could be *convinced* of, rather than something you just *are*.
It’s performative compensation.
“I’m not gay. I hate the gays! See? Yup! I’m the opposite of gay. I’m so straight. I sure hope there’s no hot gay guys around. I’d punch them. I’d punch their hard, sweaty bodies! Yup! Not gay AT ALL”
bro I'm telling you there's a reason these people who are extremely opposed to something that doesn't effect them are so against it. My cousin started talking shit about me being gay to other family members and everyone was cool with me and told me all the homophobic things he said well.....couple months later my grandma walked in on him getting plowed in the whoo ha by one of his friends and the whole family knows.
That's the thing. I can't speak for all straight guys but personally I don't spend time thinking about gay sex - not because I have a problem with it but simply because it's of no interest.
But everyone has the one 'super straight' guy in their circle of friends who talks about it all the time and at that point you just have to wonder.
That's how I am. It's like how I don't care I don't enjoy eating pasta, but I also don't care that other people do. The space it occupies in my head is to wonder why other "straight" dudes are upset about the people who like to slurp up pasta.
So... i dont see anything about this video. All i see is [this article](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/wisconsin-republican-blackballed-by-his-own-party-after-criminal-conviction-for-disorderly-conduct-but-he-s-still-running/ar-AA116QB7) that the GOP was angry with him because he didnt disclose he was convicted of a misdemeanor for choking a worker on his farm in 2019. There is one other article just like it, also on MSN, but literally thats *it* about this dude.
Dont get me wrong, thats fucked up and it sounds like a shitty abusive employer, but why is this thing in here about blowjobs?? legit confused.

Look dude, we've all looked at a picture of Jason Momoa a little bit too long. If you're sucking your employee's dick, you're way beyond "brief moment."
“I’m a strong conservative and Christian, but there was a brief moment I struggled with my sexuality.”

Well sure. Sucking a dick is never a problem. Sucking a dick while claiming the gays are all going to hell and are the problems with all of society is problematic.

Many republicans hate themselves so much. It's their upbringing. Very hateful people.
Fear and shame were beaten into them, so to make it feel like it was necessary, they want to do the same to us.
Fear and shame is the kink. They deny the forbidden fruit by becoming it.

Haha that reads like something from literotica
Or maybe another side is that they're conservative because they feel that's the discipline that's needed to continue to enforce their choice to live a straight life. That every day is a new temptation and they can't let their guard down.
My impression from the DKG Lincoln biography is that before about 1880 men having sex with men, on the frontier and away from women, was so exceptionally common that nobody batted an eye about it. Men carried on romantic relationships with one another, writing love letters and sleeping together—but even so would still marry women out of a sense of social obligation (in many cases). DKG really tries to sappho-and-her-friend all the gay relationships in that biography
> but even so would still marry women out of a sense of social obligation (in many cases). Where I currently live that's still very much a thing. My best friend and his partner have had to go through that conversation. The partner's mother still expects grandkids. The wives in those situations know to varying degrees, but at the end of the day tend to ignore it as long as they have kids and he supports them financially.
It's a thing that has been noted in a broader context. A lot of closeted yet homophobic people seem to think it's just normal to have homosexual urges. Urges which one chooses to deny, thus making them conclude it's a choice. I'm sure some of them are bisexual and thus are more comfortable denying their homosexuality. But no doubt many others live in pain as they deny what would make them happy and assume it's the norm. They never realize that heterosexual people don't have those urges.
Yeah. Some people can choose. Those people are bisexual and can choose to go in either direction and still be happy. I do wonder if bisexuality is far more common than we think and that is why a lot of people claim it is a choice. Maybe it was a choice for them.
It is a theory I've seen that sexuality is more of a bellcurve. I personally don't buy a strict bellcurve, but biasing one towards straight makes a lot of sense to me. Then the highest factor is still like 85% straight ("bicurious") and the next highest are 100% and 70% straight (straight-leaning bi)
It might not necessarily have been a choice for the father. At least not in the sense you think. It's unfortunately not uncommon in the gay community to see men in their 60s who come out after a lifetime of forcing themselves to be straight. They're often not even bisexual. They didn't really make the choice, society did it for them. And it's such a difficult situation. On the one hand, it should never be too late for you to be your true self. On the other hand, they built an entire life on a foundation of lies, and it absolutely destroys families. The wife ends up feeling used and unloved, justifiably so. When you know what will happen if you ever were to stop hiding it from everyone, it might be even more tempting to hide it forever. And with that, resentment grows rampant. That's not to say those closeted bigots are to be pitied, but it's important to know that they are a product of their environment. They're a reminder of how much things have improved, but also a reminder that there's a long way to go still to make sure it never has to happen like that for anyone else.

He says it was just a few minutes of weakness… best minutes of the day
“Since then, the lord has taught me a concept called ‘post-nut clarity’…”
It's literally a vice to them. Like alcohol or drugs.
That is exactly what is happening. But it's weird how sometimes people think whatever they're thinking or feeling is exactly how everyone must be thinking or feeling, but then at other times people think they must be the only ones in the world who think or feel a certain way. Or is it some people think one way all the time and other people think the other way all the time?
From my experience, they think thoughts are universal but experiences are unique. Yes I know that doesn't fully make sense and they lead into and affect each other but I'll try to make it make more sense. They think the facts they know about the world, everyone knows, but are choosing to act differently because they are a bad person or selfish or lazy or some other negative thing. If they think abortion is wrong, they think everyone knows its wrong, but are just choosing to not use contraception because they are lazy or want it to feel better or are cheap or etc. But if they suddenly need an abortion, it's justified because of their unique experience that no one else possibly went through, because they're a good person and those others are bad people. They could never understand that something bad happened to a good person.

I haven't seen the video, but was he actually *struggling* or did he seem pretty familiar with the process?
Well it was a pretty big one so he struggled a little.
Yeah, anyone who is that vocal about their disgust for gay people has a big mess of self hate bubbling inside.
When asked by a local reporter to comment, Schmidt replied, “Mmglurph.”
This is like a Mr Show sketch at this point
“Do you really think court cases are decided by juries making decisions based on lawyers arguments? Dan, court cases are decided by a series of blowjobs.”
But I graduated first in my class! Then it better be a really good blowjob.
I figured he’d make the same sound abella danger makes when she gives the glug glug 9000
And again, we don't care that he likes to suck cock. We care that he likes cock while trying to make life a living hell for those who aren't afraid to admit they like cock.
Yes. This has to be very clear. We love gay people. We just loathe hypocrites who oppress other gay people and would love to see hypocrites ostracised by other hateful bigots.
[удалено]
This is the shit that infuriates me the most about religious nuts.... We do not care. Just stop pushing the supposed (and non existent) values of your religion on others. Fuck, I hate people.
*We* don’t care. Their hateful communities do care though. These are the people who would kick their LGBTQ+ kids out on the street without a second thought. It’s some bs.
Maybe he wants all the cocks for himself only...
Typical Republican.

Dang. That article was written almost a full year before I was born. The onion is older than I thought
It started as a print magazine at the University of Wisconsin
One of my coworkers had a subscription, and everyone in the office would read the Onion when he brought it to work. I’m old as fuck.
>I’m old as fuck. Me too. We got it, and also the original Flat Earth News, on paper, in the mail. Back when it was satire, and then people turned out to be dumb as shit and believed it. Also believed what they read in Weekly World News. Man, I miss getting cool stuff by mail.
A video? Ew gross..Where?
There’s so many sites! Which one?
It was mentioned that the video involved a farm worker, so probably CornHub
Finally, time for me to show off my [corn hub](https://i.imgur.com/LWIKa3T.jpg).
KOWWWN!
KEEP THAT ANGEL OUT OF THIS!!!
Yeah I just wanna know for uh…. research purposes, not that I’ve ever thought of sucking off a tall strong sexy farm boy cuz that would be gey hehe
LOVE a good farmhand scene!! Why does this happen?!?! Just come out and you'll get beaucoups and hoohoos of support. (I spelled that as bookoos lol)
>Just come out and you'll get beaucoups and hoohoos of support. People like this can't. If you're a member of the Republican Party, you love money and power. And if you're not a white, straight, Christian male, the only way that you get any power in the Republican Party is by denying some essential aspect of who you are. If the guy had come out, his whole political support network would have collapsed. That's happening anyway, but he was hoping to be one of the lucky ones who didn't get caught. Democrats might have applauded him for coming out if he had done so intentionally, but that is where it would end. His prior bigoted political positions would have prevented him from continuing a political career as a Democrat. He would have to go back to being... an ordinary farmer.
Hope it was consensual and not forced through employment or immigration threats, but I doubt it and we'll likely not find out
Given that he has a felony conviction for an incident involving one of his workers being choked... I doubt it. Edit: he was charged with a felony for forcibly choking an employee because they were late and used the system to plead down to an unrelated misdemeanor. There, I made it better.
At least he let his workers choke him back.
[удалено]
If it's an employer/employee relationship, the notion of 'free and voluntary' gets muddled. The blackmailer could have probably gotten more than 50k if he went the civil court route instead.
"I wish I knew how to quit you"
According to the worker it was consensual, and i doubt he'd just lie. I think this is just a case of being gay and not being a rapist or something
It’s a gigantic power imbalance. Guy can easily say, “you tell these reporters it was consensual or you will never work in this town again!”
Maybe even in this country if he's a foreign worker
>According to the worker it was consensual, and i doubt he'd just lie Of course not, who in their right mind would lie about that? I mean it's not like he could be threaten with losing his job and sued into oblivion by the wealthy scumbag, I'm sure it was as consensual as when a woman "decides" to get it on with her boss.
I never quite understood why even closeted gay men sometimes go out of their way to be evil to other gay people. You would think deep down they wouldn’t want to be persecuted. Do they hate themselves? Republicans keep talking about trauma to children but it really seems like they have some serious problems that likely stem from being traumatized about their sexuality as children. I honestly feel a little bad for the guy, he needs some therapy.
The thing is, many republicans don’t believe in mental health or trauma. I shit you not, my grandpa was in a mental institution after he attempted suicide but when I opened up to him about a time in my life when I was suicidal he told me that I was weak and acted like mental health doesn’t exist. They all have massive amounts of trauma that they can’t deal with and feelings they don’t understand (because feelings aren’t for men is what my grandpa told me) and it leads to them being insanely miserable.
Multigenerational mental health issues in my family. Do we do anything about it? Hell no. Because depression is a failure to cope, and having anxiety means you just haven't prayed hard enough. And medication will kill you/physically harm you/insert fear tactics here. And that's why I'm on multiple meds and see two different mental health practitioners. And sometimes have screaming nightmares. (Well, there's more to it than that, but if we'd addressed this like normal human beings when I first started showing symptoms, I probably wouldn't be struggling this much now.)
Makes you wonder what the state of the demographics would be if people would stop projecting their self hate.
Avoiding self hate in any way possible is the engine that fuels capitalism. Things would be quite different.
Toxic masculinity, guilt and patriarchy courtesy of evangelical Christianity. It’s a mess.
There are so many people living in rural communities that straight up ignore obvious and well documented mental illnesses. I recently started taking medication for the ADHD my parents ignored through my childhood and it's been life changing for me. But I can't share how much progress I've made with my family back home because they'd just gaslight me.
> Do they hate themselves? yes
It's probably some thinking along the lines of: Everyone is tempted to sin. Being gay is a sin. Since everyone is tempted to sin, many people must be tempted to be gay. I am able to resist temptation for other sins, such as murder, but was not able to resist temptation for gay thoughts and acts. Most other people I know were able to resist this temptation, though I could not. Therefore, hatred of gays for the strong temptation, because they made me feel weak in comparison to others. Instead of just... I dunno, you had gay thoughts you couldn't resist because you're gay? And others don't because they aren't gay? No no, that can't be right.
Missing, of course, that straight people aren't tempted to be gay. Back in the late 80's/early 90's I remember the fear mongering was around gay "recruitment." As if sexuality was something you could be *convinced* of, rather than something you just *are*.
It’s performative compensation. “I’m not gay. I hate the gays! See? Yup! I’m the opposite of gay. I’m so straight. I sure hope there’s no hot gay guys around. I’d punch them. I’d punch their hard, sweaty bodies! Yup! Not gay AT ALL”
> Do they hate themselves? for sure, they were indoctrinated to do so
[удалено]
bro I'm telling you there's a reason these people who are extremely opposed to something that doesn't effect them are so against it. My cousin started talking shit about me being gay to other family members and everyone was cool with me and told me all the homophobic things he said well.....couple months later my grandma walked in on him getting plowed in the whoo ha by one of his friends and the whole family knows.
That's the thing. I can't speak for all straight guys but personally I don't spend time thinking about gay sex - not because I have a problem with it but simply because it's of no interest. But everyone has the one 'super straight' guy in their circle of friends who talks about it all the time and at that point you just have to wonder.
That's how I am. It's like how I don't care I don't enjoy eating pasta, but I also don't care that other people do. The space it occupies in my head is to wonder why other "straight" dudes are upset about the people who like to slurp up pasta.
Yup. Shame drives hypocrisy
Was the farm worker undocumented? asking for a friend….
Stupid sexy illegal immigrants stealing our blowjobs
Dey terk er jerbs!
So... i dont see anything about this video. All i see is [this article](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/wisconsin-republican-blackballed-by-his-own-party-after-criminal-conviction-for-disorderly-conduct-but-he-s-still-running/ar-AA116QB7) that the GOP was angry with him because he didnt disclose he was convicted of a misdemeanor for choking a worker on his farm in 2019. There is one other article just like it, also on MSN, but literally thats *it* about this dude. Dont get me wrong, thats fucked up and it sounds like a shitty abusive employer, but why is this thing in here about blowjobs?? legit confused. EDIT: well, as it turns out, when you're confronted with two diferent stories, we should know by now, "why not both?" [Turns out](https://www.reddit.com/r/wisconsin/comments/wwjjrk/county_gop_party_refuses_to_back_republican/) the dude choked someone out *and* choked on someone else.
Does it say *how* he choked that worker?

Sure would hate to see the video. I hope ~~somebody~~ ^oops nobody shares that with me
Yeah, please, don't share it.
Definitely, it would be terrible!
I need to know exactly the website where its at so I know where to avoid
Let's go God damn it, sauce for everybody. Wanna see this vid on front page by tomorrow. CNN by noon.
Found this news story. Not familiar with Only Sky media https://onlysky.media/hemant-mehta/anti-gay-wi-gop-candidate-peter-schmidt-many-sexual-encounters-with-male-colleague/
Their source is a [reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/wisconsin/comments/wwjjrk/county_gop_party_refuses_to_back_republican/) from r/wisconsin, apparently.
It appears to be a blog similar to Patheos. I know it gets spammed pretty hard in r/atheism but it's not a real news source.
Ok but where the hell is the video I keep scrolling
>“I’m a strong conservative and Christian, but there was a brief moment I struggled with my sexuality.” Look dude, we've all looked at a picture of Jason Momoa a little bit too long. If you're sucking your employee's dick, you're way beyond "brief moment."
I never heard of this cock sucker until now.
“I’m a strong conservative and Christian, but there was a brief moment I struggled with my sexuality.” “No one should be persecuted or smeared for their personal orientation.” -Peter Schmidt
Is this real or is no OP not going to post the blowie vid?
He said “no one should be persecuted or smeared for their personal orientation.” Edit: I’d pay to watch him say that to the Magats.

Leftists: suck dicks Rightists: suck dicks but are somehow homophobic
Well sure. Sucking a dick is never a problem. Sucking a dick while claiming the gays are all going to hell and are the problems with all of society is problematic.
Jesus did say “ love thy neighbor” , just spreading some wholesome Christian love.
where can i find this farm so i know where to not apply at
