Gay Republicans are, for some bizarre reason, a thing that exists, and apparently, the ones on X (formerly Twitter) aren’t just obsessed with Donald Trump but also think they’re hotter than gay Democrats. Delusional much?

Earlier this week, the X account, The Gay Republican, posted a trio of photos of himself and other men along with the caption, “I think the main reason Democrat gays hate Republican gays is because we are hotter than them.”

The post quickly went viral, with Gay Twitter immediately stepping in to dispel this mythic hotness that only exists in the minds of MAGA gays. “I promise you can walk into any Trader Joe’s here in SF and see at least 10 gays hotter than any of these people within the first 2 minutes,” X user Ranch Devereaux (excellent user name, by the way) posted, inspiring hundreds of hilarious comments.

Trump-loving gays are so confusing. They support and vote for candidates that actively and loudly hate the LGBTQ+ community, are constantly confused as to why queer people don’t like them, and apparently think they’re all 10s? Be for real.

And it’s not like these gay conservatives are going to be protected from the wrath of anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans just because they’re white cishet gay men. If Trump steps foot in the White House again, their rights are going on the chopping block too, which means inauguration day is going to be a harsh slap in the face for queer people who voted for him.

Gay Twitter couldn’t let their hubris stand‚ and rightly so! If you know anything about the internet, you know that if you don’t want to be DRAGGED for your looks, you shouldn’t claim to be hotter than other people. This is the definition of f—ck around and find out.

People ran to the comments of the post to roast the Republicans by listing all of the places where you can easily find hotter gay men and asking innocent questions like, “Did the hot guys take the photo?”

Normally, people’s looks are off the table, but these guys served themselves up on a silver platter. So we’ve been scrolling and laughing for a while now with no plans to stop!
