  • I’ve thought this before and I believe it applies here as well.

    Ultra-rich LGBT people aren’t really allies. Under the queer umbrella by definition, maybe, but not part of the community. It’s for the best to leave their perspectives completely disregarded.

    As it was during more repressive times, being super rich completely insulates them from negative influences. They don’t understand what the majority of queer people have had to go through just to try to live normal lives.

    For example, would anyone who’s never had to worry about money care about the financial benefits of marriage that queer couples risk losing if Obergefell is overturned? Or if someone can count the number of times they’ve ever had to use a public restroom on one hand, would they really care about trans people who are being banned from them?

    He may be gay, but at the end of the day he’s still a rich, white male. There isn’t going to be a leopard-eats-face moment for him, just a jaguar among leopards joining in the face-eating.
