❝. . . What's he
That was not born of woman?❞
(Macbeth: Act 5, Scene 7)
Evolution is heterosexual . . . All men are born of a woman . . .
“Morality” and any associated ideal is rooted entirely in the presupposition some higher power defines what is correct for human behavior . . . Anyone who says you are “immoral” is no different than a preacher or rabbi saying you are a sinner . . .
Secular humanists are no different in their belief that ethical rules should be developed based on some ethereal ‘reason’ and science.
What about evolution? What about the science? The evidence in nature is irrefutable, yet both sides in this supposed debate of creationist vs. atheist will refuse to acknowledge the obvious.
All this destructive Jewish propaganda in Hollywood and destructive Jewish religious practices brought to the West via Christianity is born from their desire to destroy the white race . . .
“It is a privilege to talk about the importance of the US-Israel bond, one based on our mutual security, mutual values, and is again something that is a source of pride to all of us in the Congress who work on this.” — Nancy Pelosi
The term ‘pair-bonding’ is a type of rhetoric called sophistry, or just plain intellectually dishonest, deceptive propaganda rolled up into a single word: “Woke,” “wokeism,” “wokeness,” “wokery,” etc., etc., etc., ad nausea; are more deceptive nomenclatures employed for concealing the facts about the Jews and the Frankfurt School. The idea of ‘pair-bonding’ is another deflection often employed to advocate Jewish esoterism as a basis for secular laws.
Animals do not go to a church and get married, nor would male animals go have a gay marriage at the Church of the Holy Donut or be attached to each other’s rectums for the remainder of their perverted, unnatural, married lives.
MGTOW = Mostly Gay Transgendered Or Wimpy . . .
Just as the feminists are a vegetable drawer of Jewish sob sisters who hate white men, MGTOWs are their narcissistic kosher analogs who like to ignore a simple truth . . . They willingly subject themselves someone else’s rules in a marriage contract, an instrument of legal entanglements, and when they find themselves on the shit end of the stick, all they can do cry like little bitches.
“Fag hag” was first used in the 1970s to pejoratively describe homely feminist women who wished to align themselves with gay men, supposedly in their fight for ‘equality’. (Nothing is more misogynistic than a male homosexual.)
The MGTOWs had their very own modern day cigarette smoking “fag hag” in a pixie boy haircut with anti-feminist Canadian, Karen Straughan, an acolyte of fellow Canadian Jordan Peterson, who is over at the (((Daily Wire))) with Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin . . .
The Rubin Report is supposedly ‘an opponent of identity politics’, although Rubin ‘identifies with the libertardian/classical liberal wing of contemporary right-of-center political thought’. Rubin is really a Jewish homosexual activist married to another man and adopted a child; that’s his real identity . . . a ‘Jewish Pioneer of Sexual Degeneracy.’
Straughan was making the rounds on obscure radio shows, pointless You Tube debates, interviews on podcasts and other venues that cater to the so-called, red-pilled alt-right, but she dropped off the radar like a lot of other gas lighting social media personalities . . . Maybe it was health related, the smoking of anything is really bad for your health . . .
The social media fanfare attached to a debate between Cenk Uygur from the Young Turks and Karen Straughan was a chattering spectacle of insipidness hosted by Dave Rubin, much like Sean Hannity having Megan McCain as a guest on his show, to discuss her time on another show, The View . . . Why the melodramatic soap opera? Their red pill is really nothing but another kosher suppository, it’s just an act, they’re on the same side, sharing the same stage, and begging for shekels on the internet.
These people all believe the same thing . . . they all believe their weenies come from heaven and that this gives them some sanctified right to be a divine prick or divine monosyllable, playing ‘God’ over the lives of others.
Palimony entered the collective lexicon following a 1976 California case involving actor Lee Marvin and his longtime girlfriend Michele Triola.
Although the couple's alleged agreement wasn't in writing, the California Supreme Court nevertheless made-up law by an esoteric judicial fiat that written contracts weren't required, but the conduct of the parties could create an implied contract.
Similar baseless judicial fiats happened to Donald Trump, and not just with cohabitation matters and prenuptial agreements, unbelievably butt ugly advice columnist E. Jean Carroll sued Trump for sexual assault . . .
The opining and gaslighting over why young men are not getting married as much as previous generations is another fatuous religious sophistry.
Much Ado About Nothing . . .
Monogamy is an unnatural order created by Zionist churchmen to attach vicarious liabilities in the secular law, to control monarchial successions, as well as to establish ecclesiastic control over white female procreativity and individual white male posterity.
The monarchies of Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth I, both constantly under attack over their choices of mates, was the beginning of a dissolution of marriage between the church and state, a divorce of the Vatican and the English government, the birth of the Presbyters and the Church of England.
[34] It was not therefore a very difficult matter for Henry the Eighth by his exorcism; nor for Queen Elizabeth by hers, to cast them out. But who knows that this spirit of Rome, now gone out, and walking by missions through the dry places of China, Japan, and the Indies, that yield him little fruit, may not return; or rather, an assembly of spirits worse than he enter and inhabit this clean-swept house, and make the end thereof worse than the beginning? For it is not the Roman clergy only that pretends the kingdom of God to be of this world, and thereby to have a power therein, distinct from that of the civil state.

Where were the Attorney Generals of the United States over the past several decades concerning the voluminous number of international cases involving human trafficking by the Vatican, and thousands of pederasts in the Catholic clergy?

[26] The fairies are not to be seized on, and brought to answer for the hurt they do. So also the ecclesiastics vanish away from the tribunals of civil justice.
[27] The ecclesiastics take from young men the use of reason, by certain charms compounded of metaphysics, and miracles, and traditions, and abused Scripture, whereby they are good for nothing else but to execute what they command them. The fairies likewise are said to take young children out of their cradles, and to change them into natural fools, which common people do therefore call elves, and are apt to mischief.
[28] In what shop or operatory the fairies make their enchantment, the old wives have not determined. But the operatories of the clergy are well enough known to be the universities, that received their discipline from authority pontifical.
[29] When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.
[30] The fairies marry not; but there be amongst them incubi that have copulation with flesh and blood. The priests also marry not.

When Socrates asked Euthyphro how it is possible to be pious to the gods when the gods all wanted different things, nobody had an answer. Many tried to deflect and split hairs . . . Gottfried Leibniz said everything that happened was God’s will and that this was the best of all possible worlds, but François-Marie Voltaire masterfully blasted that idea all to hell in Candide.
Twitter (now known as X) headquarters was on Market Street in the gayest, most perverted city in California, San Franshitsco (sic). There are actual maps that show human defecations dotting the festering fecal homeland of the late Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsome, and Kamala Harris, where the Jew Howard Levey (a.k.a. Anton Lavey) started his gay Church of Satan.
All the other 'big tech' social media companies the feckless libertardians, clueless conservatives, and pugnacious progressives complain about, are right there in San Francisco . . . Libertardians and cuckservatives are just as p.c. as the prickgressives, the ones who cry the loudest about censorship, are usually the first to flag comments or conspire with others to get someone “banned” or get their website removed . . . It is not censorship that bothers them, it is only about who has the power to do it that upsets them . . .
The evangelical, conservative, alt-right, erstwhile Christian nationalists, and RINOs who like to portray themselves as such, are just as clueless and narcissistic in their pathetic postmortems of the American election as these retarded commie lib chameleons they claim to oppose.
❝If today the trials that concern homosexuality among priests went on again and if we would treat the priests as [we do] any citizen in Germany, then I would undertake to guarantee for the next three to four years 200 or more such trials. The realization of the trials fails to take place not because there is a lack of cases, but because we just do not have as many officials and judges as we would need to employ. Within the next four years very conclusive evidence will be produced — I hope — that the Church organization in its leadership, its priesthood, is for the most part a homosexual erotic men-union (Männerbund) that on this basis has been terrorizing humanity for the past 1,800 years, demands from it the greatest blood sacrifice, and has been sadistically perverse in its utterances in the past. I need only to recall the witch and heretic trials.
The attitude about the inferiority of women is a typical Christian attitude, and we also who have been national socialists up to this day — many even who are strict heathens — have unwittingly adopted this set of ideas. I know even today very many party members who believe they have to prove the special firmness of their worldview (Weltanschauung) and their own special masculinity through very rowdy and truculent behaviour toward women.
I recognize furthermore a certain tendency in our ranks to exclude women from all events and celebrations. These same people complain then about the fact that women cling here and there to the church, or are not absolutely 100 percent won over for National Socialism. They however ought not to complain since they treat women as second class citizens and keep them from all our inner life. No one needs be surprised then if they are not fully won over for this inner life.
We must be clear about that: the movement, the Weltanschauung has lasting stability if it is supported by the woman, for men comprehend all things with the mind, while the woman comprehends all things with feeling. The German woman, not the man, has borne the greater sacrifice of blood in the witch and heretic trials. The priests knew exactly why they burned 5,000-6,000 women: exactly because they emotionally held fast to the old knowledge and the old doctrine and emotionally and instinctively could not be dissuaded from them, while the man had already converted by logic and thought… ❞
Instead of executing his previous wives, wouldn’t it have been better for King Henry VIII to execute the clergy causing all the trouble?
Judeo-Messianism has been spreading its poisonous message among us for over two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only come to reinforce the old Jewish narrative. These are the same ideals.
The transnational, transracial, transcultural, transexual ideals that these ideologies preach to us (beyond peoples, races, cultures) and that are the daily nourishment of our schools, in our media, in our popular culture, at our universities and on our streets have our bio-symbolic identity and our ethnic pride reduced to their minimal expression.
Now, nobody is willing to fight a war for them.
Two groups of assholes calling each other fascists and nazis would be an almost hysterically hilarious spectacle for a European national socialist, if it wasn’t for the idea that they both wish to draw Europeans into the conflict, and the fact that they are invasive, racially hostile foreign ideologies . . .
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are death cults originating in the Middle East and totally alien to Europe and its peoples . . . Satan is a Hebrew god . . . Satanism is a Jewish cult . . . Just a cohen-cidence?

The Labour Party’s tolerance for child sexual abuse . . .
January 20, 2025/in British Politics / Featured Articles / by Niall McCrae
Ivor Caplin, a member of parliament of the ruling Labour Party in the UK, was arrested last week. Allegedly, he had arranged to meet a boy in Brighton for sexual relations, only to be caught by paedophile hunters. This case is not unusual in a political party that has shown itself more than tolerant of child sexual abuse.
In 1974 prominent Labour politicians, who sensed that the sexual revolution of the Sixties would continue to overturn conservative mores, backed the Paedophile Information Exchange, a body that demanded decriminalisation of sex with minors down to the age of four. Notably involved was feminist Harriet Harman. PIE is no more, but be in no doubt that perversion prevails, with sexualisation of children licensed by transgender ideology and equality law.
All major political parties have had paedophile problems. The Conservative government of the 1970s was led by Ted Heath, who was strongly suspected of taking boys. The Liberal Party had Cyril Smith, an abuser of almost Jimmy Savile level. But the Labour Party seems to particularly attract adults with a penchant for kids. The website labour25.com, named after twenty-five people who held positions in Labour who were imprisoned for child sex offences, contains gory details of seventy-six abusers from the party.
Here are a few examples.
Former school governor and Labour councillor Alec Dyer-Atkins was arrested by the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit for downloading 42000 illegal images, including some extremely brutal abuse. He was a member of Shadows Brotherhood, an international paedophile ring. He was sentenced to two years in prison in 2003. Dyer-Atkins is one of many who were both Labour politicians and school governors or teachers, thus having optimal access to children to exert their depravity. Another one is Nelson Bland, who walked free from Reading Magistrates Court in 2004 after admitting 16 counts of making indecent images of children.
In several cases the abusers worked with Labour Party leaders. In 2006 Peter Tuffley, who advised Hazel Blears in the New Labour government, got fifteen months in jail for kidnapping a 13-year-old boy for sex, after grooming him online. The judge told Tuffley that he had no excuse as his mentor David Blunkett had enacted a law against grooming as home secretary. In 2001 Martyn Locklin, a leading Labour activist in Tony Blair’s seat in Sedgefield, County Durham, was jailed for fifteen years for a series of offences against teenage boys, including rape.
Eric Joyce, former Labour MP, was given a suspended sentence in 2020 for making an abusive film of children as young as 12 months(!). Here is another troubling feature of the cases: soft punishment for abhorrent crimes, particularly in comparison with the harsh sentences for people who made Facebook posts or attended protests following the Southport murders (arguably, not even passing the threshold of crime).
The list goes on and on. Perhaps most notorious was Lord Janner. In 2021 an independent enquiry into sexual abuse found that police had failed to investigate allegations against the Labour peer. Greville Janner was a MP for Leicester from 1970 to 1997, when he was ennobled. Eventually he was charged with 22 offences of indecent assault and buggery, but director of public prosecutions Alison Saunders ruled that it was not in public interest to prosecute Janner due to his dementia. He died in 2015.
It would be an exaggeration to state that the Labour Party is a nest of paedophiles. But the refusal of Sir Keir Starmer’s government to launch a national enquiry into the so-called grooming gangs that have rampaged in towns and cities across the land is not surprising when you consider the predilections within its ranks.
Of course, Labour politicians don’t see the world like you or I do. They take the side of any minority group at odds with traditional norms. They regard conservative reaction to mass immigration or transgenderism as ‘hate crime’, and would happily fill prisons with critics of sex crimes committed by migrants or homosexuals, rather than the offenders themselves.
The response of metropolitan liberals to reports of the Pakistani-origin rape gangs and their victims is distaste for anyone describing the gangs as Pakistani or referring to their deeds as rape rather than the euphemistic ‘grooming’. Jess Phillips, the ardent feminist now serving in the Home Office, prefers to blame White men for misogyny, while defending Muslims (during the protests after the Southport killings, she praised the hordes of Pakistani men who brandished weapons and intimidated White people). The Guardian recently compiled a feature on the eighty female victims of murder by males last year, under the banner of a campaign to prevent violence against women and girls. The three girls killed in Southport were not included.
It’s almost as though privileged moralisers regard the industrial-scale traumatising of poor White working-class girls as cultural enrichment, as interracial mixing, and a slap in the face to racists. And there is a similar theme in the sexual abuse of boys by men: if you complain you are risking accusation of homophobia. Or anti-Semitism, because another theme here is the involvement of perverted Labour politicians in Jewish causes.
In 2018 Ivor Caplin was appointed as chairman of the Jewish Labour Movement, at the time that this body was undermining the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. Say what you like about the unpatriotic socialist Corbyn, but he was not fiddling with kids. Lord Janner served as president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Did powerful Jewish influence give Janner immunity from prosecution? Furthermore, are such perverted politicians exploited through blackmail?
Silencing and smearing of people who speak out on child sexual abuse is damaging society. Concerns are suppressed by parliamentarians while the likes of Labour peer Lord Ahmed perpetrated the very crime himself. I am not masking the presence of child abusers in Conservative and other parties, but it seems that Labour has more than its share of paedophilia. What chance of protection do girls have from prime minister Starmer, who as director of public prosecutions failed to prosecute the BBC predator Jimmy Savile and to pursue the Pakistani rape gangs, while leading a party plagued with men who take boys?

[23] The fairies in what nation soever they converse have but one universal king, which some poets of ours call King Oberon; but the Scripture calls Beelzebub, prince of demons.

Donald Trump’s Big Gay Government
On the town with the A-Gays of Washington, who have never been happier to be out, proud and Republican.
Shawn McCreesh is a White House correspondent. He reported from Washington.
Aug. 26, 2025
It was the last Wednesday in July, and many of Washington’s top players were hanging out at the Ned, a private club around the corner from the White House.
The Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, was waiting for an elevator in the lobby when he bumped into Dr. Mehmet Oz, the surgeon turned daytime TV star now in charge of Medicare and Medicaid. Howard Lutnick, the secretary of commerce, was bouncing around the Library bar upstairs. Scott Bessent, the secretary of the Treasury, was wandering around up there too.
Sitting in a brown leather armchair in the center of this social whirl was a high-ranking official at the Department of Energy named Charles Moran. His abstruse-sounding title is associate administrator for external affairs for the National Nuclear Security Administration. What this means is that he works in the part of the Energy Department that develops, tests and keeps safe America’s nuclear weapons stockpile.
But that’s not why administration officials kept approaching his armchair to schmooze, or why some of the cabinet secretaries at the Ned that night seemed to be so chummy with him.
Mr. Moran, 44, is the pasha of a new power tribe in the capital: the gay men of the Trump administration.
These are the A-Gays. They’re (mostly) out, they’re proud (to work for President Trump) and they have big jobs inside (or alongside) this administration. They wield influence all over town, from the Pentagon to the State Department to the White House to the Kennedy Center.
“We’re like Visa,” Mr. Moran said. “Everywhere you want to be.”
He sipped a dirty vodka martini and surveyed the room. Two Republican men waved at him from across the club. “Both gay,” he explained. This was also true of the middle-aged Trump appointee who ambled over a moment later to catch up. But apparently not so of the young-looking White House aide who approached a few minutes after that. “Straight as an arrow,” Mr. Moran said as the aide walked away.
He laughed and added, “I hang out with my straights just as easily as I hang out with my gays.”
The most powerful out gay man in the Trump administration is Mr. Bessent. There are a handful of others in the Treasury Department. Other A-Gays include Tony Fabrizio, the president’s longtime pollster; Trent Morse, a departing deputy assistant to the president; Richard Grenell, who was put in charge of the Kennedy Center; and Jacob Helberg, an under secretary of state. These are just some. There are lots of other lesser-known men who make up the tribe.
They’re overwhelmingly white and tend to have a certain kind of look. Close cropped haircuts. Windowpane suits. Golf shorts. They’re not the type to be telling anyone their pronouns or using the word “queer.” And they aren’t the least bit offended that the leader of their party continues to stoke a moral panic about transgender people.
They’re gay. But they’re still Republicans.
Life in Hostile Territory
Mr. Moran knows a lot of them because he’s been “on the Trump train,” as he put it, from the beginning.
In 2015, back when the Republican establishment was still trying to thwart Mr. Trump, Mr. Moran said that he and some other gay Republicans he knew became intrigued by the brash New Yorker’s history of saying nice things about gay rights. These men had experienced homophobia from their fellow Republicans at one point or another, so they saw Mr. Trump’s ascendance as something new, especially after the 2016 Republican National Convention, when Peter Thiel was given a prime-time speaking slot and used it to endorse Mr. Trump, saying: “I am proud to be gay. I am proud to be a Republican. But most of all I am proud to be an American.”
Mr. Moran was in the front row when that happened. He recalled bracing for boos or a walkout. Instead there was big applause. He ended up helping out on all three of Mr. Trump’s campaigns. Along the way, he met the various members of the Trump family, all of whom treated him with a respect that couldn’t always be expected from Republican power brokers of the past, he said.
There were some gay appointees during the first Trump administration, but it wasn’t like now. Mr. Trump initially arrived in Washington as a true outsider; he had to draw from the disparate parts of the old G.O.P. he had vanquished in order to staff his government. This time around, he has his own establishment. And it turns out that the MAGA establishment has a lot more openly gay men than the Republican establishment that came before it.
In 2019, Mr. Moran took over Log Cabin Republicans, the gay Republican group, aligning it fully with the MAGA movement and increasing its ranks. He stepped down in January after nearly five years hoping he would be rewarded with a job in the incoming administration. Though he didn’t expect it would involve nukes.
Although he is now very busy learning the inner workings of the National Nuclear Security Administration, he said he felt a certain responsibility to continue looking after the “community” of gay MAGA Republicans he spent nearly a decade cultivating. He keeps a spreadsheet with dozens of names and titles of other gay compatriots working inside the administration. “I love it when I find out there’s somebody new,” he said.
Part of the A-Gays’ power comes from the fact that they (mostly) stick together. “Even within the bureaucracy, the bureaucracy is overwhelming,” Mr. Moran said. “I love having this community as a resource. Back in the day, these groups had to be closed off and hidden, but now we use it as a tool.” Just the other day, he recalled, a gay acquaintance of his was trying to figure out who in the government could help him get something done for his boss. “He called and was like, ‘Hey, do we have somebody at such and such agency?’” They had somebody.
But there is a kind of paradox about these men’s existence in Washington. They live in the gayest city in America, which is also pretty much the most Trump-hating city in America.
The gay men who work for him here are keenly aware that they are in hostile territory, surrounded by other gay men who consider them self-deluded traitors or worse. At gay bars around town and on dating apps they are either iced out or confronted about the things this president has said and done. He cut AIDS relief around the world and H.I.V. vaccine research and funding for L.G.B.T.Q. suicide prevention services. He called drag shows “anti-American.” His defense secretary announced during Pride month that the Navy Vessel named after Harvey Milk would be renamed. Perhaps most worrying for many gay people is how conservative the Supreme Court has become thanks to Mr. Trump. Could same-sex marriage go the way of Roe? It’s not out of the question.
Gay Trump appointees interviewed for this article — some of whom said they weren’t authorized to speak on the record — dismiss such opprobrium as overheated liberal whining. They argue that the battle for gay rights has basically been won, and that there has never been a Republican as friendly to the gays as Donald J. Trump.
Aren’t they themselves proof that this is so, they ask?
‘I Love the Gays’
There have always been gay men in power in Washington, but they were rarely open about it. The plot of the most famous novel ever written about this place, “Advise and Consent,” revolves around a gay senator who got blackmailed.
A few years ago, a Washington journalist named James Kirchick published, “Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington,” a sprawling, definitive history on this subject.
“Being gay was the worst thing you could be in American politics,” Mr. Kirchick said one recent afternoon over lunch at the Bombay Club, the Clinton-era power lunch spot across the street from the White House. He recalled a famous quote about politics, spoken in 1983 by Edwin Edwards, the Louisiana Democrat who bragged: “The only way I can lose this election is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.”
Mr. Kirchick, 41, said one way to see how much has changed in recent years was to look at what things were like under the most recent Republican president before Mr. Trump, George W. Bush. “There were high-ranking gay people in that administration, but they had to be very discreet about it,” he said. “It was tough, and there was a lot of outing at the time.”
Mr. Kirchick has been a vocal critic of Mr. Trump, but he did note one important difference when it comes to this president: “Trump himself is obviously a huge part of what’s changed. He’s clearly comfortable around gay people.”
Before his political turn, Mr. Trump mostly talked publicly about gay people the way one might expect of a New Yorker in show business. He once asked a contestant on “The Apprentice” if he was “a homosexual.” When the man said that he was, Mr. Trump replied: “I like steak, somebody else likes spaghetti. That’s why they have menus in restaurants. It’s a great world.”
He allowed gay people to join Mar-a-Lago when other clubs in Palm Beach still discriminated. One associate of his said that in the period when Mr. Trump was preparing to become a presidential candidate, he privately explained his thinking on gay-related policy issues, such as marriage equality, this way: “I love the gays. They pay the most for the weddings.”
But then he went on to pick as his running mate Indiana governor Mike Pence, who had a long record of opposing gay rights. And then there was the fact that the political base Mr. Trump had cobbled together and then needed to mollify included many gay-hating constituencies; he would never have made it without evangelicals. Once he got into office, he barred transgender people from the military. His most recent campaign for president pumped out videos ridiculing gay people in the military. He recently mocked Pete Buttigieg’s same-sex marriage.
Bring any of that up to the A-Gays and they just laugh and insist that no one can say with a straight face that MAGA is homophobic. They delight in what they see as the camp aspects of gay culture that suffuse their movement: On the eve of his inauguration this year, the president danced onstage with Village People as the group performed “Y.M.C.A.,” the ode to gay cruising. The soundtrack at MAGA rallies includes Abba, Queen, Elton John, Sinead O’Connor and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Mr. Trump often talked about the hotness of men he spotted in the front row or who appeared onstage with him.
Mr. Kirchick called the president a “camp icon,” adding: “He’s like a drag queen. He’s outrageous, he’s transgressive, he’s catty, he’s a narcissist the likes of which we haven’t seen since Alexander the Great.”
The A-Gays also worship Melania Trump, and she seems to appreciate them, too. One of the few events she participated in during her husband’s last campaign was a fund-raiser with gay Republicans in Trump Tower (for which she was paid). Mr. Moran was there, of course. He keeps a framed photograph of himself with Mrs. Trump from that night at his desk at the Department of Energy and said he’d met the first lady “a dozen times.”
In 2021, she came to a dinner Mr. Moran threw at Mar-a-Lago to accept the Log Cabin’s “Spirit of Lincoln” award. He called it “the most incredible experience of my life.” But what is it like to actually hang out with her? “I mean, she’s Melania Trump, it’s not like we’re sitting around on the couch with our heels off eating pizza,” he said.
He said that he and his fellow MAGA gays consider her an icon because she has, as they feel they have too, gone through “trials and tribulations, the ups, the downs, the good, the bad.” (Also because of her fashion.)
All of this can be somewhat surprising to some of the other MAGA tribes who have come to the capital to get in on the action of the Trump redux.
“The funny thing is, I had a lot of girlfriends who wanted to move here,” said Natalie Winters, the D.C.-based right-wing media darling who is a protégé of Steve Bannon. “They thought the dating scene would be really great, that MAGA would bring in a whole wave of, like, you know, eligible, conservative, smart, enterprising men.”
Instead, she said, “everybody’s freaking gay.”

In early June, the president and first lady went to the Kennedy Center for the opening night of a production of “Les Misérables.” This constituted a big night out on the MAGA social calendar — there was even a red carpet — and the A-Gays turned out in force. They stood around the Kennedy Center’s grand foyer in tuxedoed packs, swilling champagne and making after-party plans as they awaited the president’s arrival.
They soon came face to face with their ideological counterparts when a troupe of drag queens showed up to crash the party. Their very presence was a political statement, since the president had been railing online about how there would be no more drag shows allowed at the Kennedy Center.
The drag queens made their defiant march through the theater to find their seats near the stage. The right-wing gay men glared and shook their heads. The president and first lady, dressed all in black, hovered above the melodrama from their seats up in the balcony.
“The gay left just can’t handle the fact that President Trump loves the gays,” said Casey Flores, a 34-year-old MAGA gay who moved to Washington in April and started a job at the Kennedy Center as a fund-raiser.
“This idea that Republicans hate gays, that’s just so not the case, as clearly evidenced by all of us,” Mr. Flores said, referring to all of his gay friends who moved to Washington to work for Mr. Trump. “We’re so over it. We just want to help the country.”
Mr. Flores, who is not married, said he was “not particularly worried about gay marriage being repealed,” mostly because of some “protections” he heard were put in place not long ago. (He was referring to the Respect for Marriage Act, which President Biden signed into law in 2022; it mandates federal recognition of same-sex marriage and was passed by a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers.)
But what about some of the more homophobic-seeming constituencies and characters in MAGA world — is it ever difficult, as a gay man, to stand shoulder to shoulder with evangelicals and people like Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary who has a history of criticizing policies allowing gay people to serve in the military?
Eh, not really, said Mr. Flores.
“Nobody is meaner to gay people than other gay people,” he insisted. “Left-wing gays hate socially conservative Christians more than that group of people hates the gays, and I think that’s on public display every day on social media and elsewhere.”
A few weeks after the opening of “Les Misérables,” Mr. Flores was out for dinner at the Occidental, a retro-chic chophouse on Pennsylvania Avenue that draws in many Trump officials. (Mr. Bessent happened to be dining two tables away that night.) Printed in the center of each menu is the restaurant’s motto: “Where Statesmen Dine.”
Mr. Flores was there with his friend Jon Levine, a 38-year-old gay reporter for The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative publication. Both men are in some ways typical of the new kind of gay Republican in town. They moved here after Mr. Trump returned because there were suddenly new professional opportunities. In Mr. Levine’s case, the dawning of a new Trump era meant lots of stories to report and sources to meet. For Mr. Flores, there was a job at the Kennedy Center, which he landed because he is friendly with Mr. Grenell, who was put in charge of the performing arts center.
There were new social opportunities, too. A whole scene has sprouted up for gay Republicans. Just the week before, both men had been at a rooftop party in Logan Circle with about 50 other like-minded guys, many of whom had jobs in the administration (“No libs allowed except significant others” read the Partiful invite.) There have been similar house parties in Dupont Circle, and pool parties on Capitol Hill. But the most coveted invitation for a MAGA gay in Washington is to one of the parties that Mr. Thiel, the gay Trump megadonor, has been throwing at his mansion near Embassy Row. (Mr. Thiel declined to comment for this article.)
“A lot of gays across the Trump administration are very inspired by Peter Thiel,” Mr. Flores said. “He was the first contrarian to kind of open the door.” (Mr. Flores has yet to be invited to one of his parties.)
And yet, this is a relatively small world. It’s still coming together, and not everyone gets along. “Just because we’re all homos doesn’t mean we’re all friends,” Mr. Levine said.
But when these men do step outside their world, they are often reminded that they are not welcome in the flourishing gay scene that surrounds them.
“I will say, if people at a gay bar find out that you’re in the Trump administration or you’re working somewhere like the Kennedy Center, they are not nice to you — they instantly come at you,” Mr. Flores said. “I definitely don’t lead with it.”
That seemed to be true based on a spin through the room one recent night at the Little Gay Pub in Logan Circle. Patron after patron said there was no way they’d ever be friends with — much less date — a gay Trump appointee.
“If you work in the Trump administration, and you’re a gay person, clearly you have no respect for yourself,” said Jason Melton, a 44-year-old Washingtonian who works in health care policy. He was sipping vodka with pineapple juice and looking rakish in a gray Calvin Klein Suit.
Asked if he considered it morally acceptable to date a Trump appointee, he said: “Look, it’s OK to date whoever you want. It’s not up to me to say who you should or should not date. But, in any case …” he trailed off. What if the Trump appointee were super hot? “No, they would go from a 10 to a negative 10 if I found out they worked for Trump,” he said.
Across the room, one young, gay Democratic staffer who works on Capitol Hill stood with his friends, drinking pinot grigio and eating pigs in a blanket. He said he’d always viewed himself as open-minded and thus tried to play nice with some Trump gays he knows. But ultimately he just couldn’t stomach what he saw as their hypocrisy. The way he put it: You can either party with the gays on Fire Island, or you can cut funding for AIDS programs, but you can’t do both.
Mr. Moran said many of his friends encounter this sort of attitude all the time in their adventures throughout Washington. It gets them pretty down.
“But you know what I tell people?” he said. “If you’re not getting invited to the cool kids table, go make your own cool kids table.”
Or your own spreadsheet.
