Who cares about the systemic attacks on the rights of LGBTQ people in the United States as long as your high paying job isn't affected, right?

That's the attitude of self-proclaimed gay man Jason W anyway.


He decided to declare his opinion in The New York Times comment section.

In response to another post, Jason W stated:

"My life as a gay man is no different under Trump than it was under Obama."
"But if Warren or Sanders get their way, I'd probably have my investment banking job eliminated and be forced to work for lesser pay in some federal bureaucracy."
"No, thank you."

From there, his comment went to Twitter where it got plenty of attention.

Although no one was terribly surprised that a rich gay man couldn't care less about the rights of others in the LGBTQ community.

A few offered a translation for Jason W's comment.


Others were just disappointed that Jason W could overlook the rollback of LGBTQ protections against discrimination in federal jobs and the reinstatement of the transgender military ban and taking funds from HIV/AIDS programs to pay for Trump's family separation policy and revocation of protections for transgender children in schools and...


While others pointed to the many investment banking jobs available in actual socialist countries.


One thing in short supply however was sympathy.

Maybe if he eliminates fancy coffee and avocado toast and pulls himself up by his bootstraps, Jason W will be OK even with a President not intent on robbing from Social Security to fund tax breaks for the rich.

Courage, Jason W, we feel your pain.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
