Apparently worried that it hasn’t done enough outreach to the anti-LGBT community, the GOP recently unveiled a 2016 platform that reads like a homophobe’s dream. It calls “traditional marriage...the foundation for a free society,” enthusiastically supports discrimination based on sexual orientation, gives a thumbs-up to conversion therapy, and essentially labels being gay “an ideology alien to America’s history and traditions.”Log Cabin Republicans—the gay GOP group that for 40 years has refused to take the hint about where it isn’t wanted—even took out a full-page ad in USA Today slamming the platform as “the most anti-LGBT platform the Republican Party has ever had.” In other words, the Republican Party is literally outdoing itself on the homophobia front.
That’s why the ads posted by men looking for hot gay sex during the RNC—of which there are no lack—are all the more interesting. The Daily Dot did some rooting around in the Cleveland Craigslist “Casual Encounters” section and noticed there are a lot of horny dudes looking for other dudes to hook up with during the convention.
One attendee invites those “who may be in need of some hot oral loving or a sweet hole to poke” to his hotel, and advises that “Hillary haters get extra blowjobs.” (He also specifically states an affinity for “getting with married politicians who like to put forth a bland traditional image for the public but rim and suck behind closed doors,” which seems vaguely like a trap, but who knows.) Another “29 year old closeted white sub” says he’s looking for “other closeted folks at [the] RNC,” and notes he’s game for barebacking, “bdsm, watersports, spanking, and more.” (Though he draws the line at “scat” and “blood.” Not that I'm judging. Do you.)
As the Daily Dot notes, many of the ads really embrace the authoritarian tone of the party these days. The site points to posts like the one titled “Bend over RNC bi*ch boy,” put up by a Cleveland local, which welcomes respondees to “act like the true bi*ch bottom you really are and the folks back home will know nothing.” Another Clevelander promises, “I'll work over your little RNC holes.” Then there’s the guy who writes, “if you're a hot white GOP daddy, dump the hot white in my rump like Donald Trump.”
There are also the rare examples of posters looking to reach across the aisle—and I mean that in the dirtiest way. One Democrat posts that he’s looking for a GOPer for some bipartisan sexing. “DOMINATE ME- USE ME- MAKE ME WORSHIP YOUR REPUBLICAN DICK,” the ad reads.
There are too many ads to cover here, but let’s just say there’s a lot of action going on in Cleveland away from the convention floor. Turns out the big tent is much larger than the Republican Party would have you believe.
