It's very important to note, though, that those are not the words he said. I think it's also important to note what else he actually did say, that the media is not covering.

That he takes issue with how people are talking down on vulnerable, marginalized communities.

That he denounces the current Democratic party strategy of laying low and performing a "strategic retreat" and just waiting for Trump to push voters their way as a losing one.

That he believes there ought to be space in the Democratic Party for imperfect allies who might not pass every single ideological purity test, but maybe enough to protect some critical policies as opposed to losing every battle.

Actions speak so much louder than words. But even if one were to interpret Newsom’s words on his podcast today in the worst possible light-- that he harbors outright hatred for this inseparable, cherished part of the LGBT community?

Then, all the more credit to him for setting aside such vile, reprehensible views to prioritize the will of his constituents. For governing not by personal bias, but by the duty to lead with their interests in mind.

That is what politicians ought to do.

Lost a bunch of transphobic "liberal" followers for speaking out against Gavin Newsom and calling on that turncoat to have his political career destroyed.

Good. YOU ARE FUCKING BIGOTS and I DON'T WANT you here if you stand against LGBTQIA. As far as I'm concerned, you intolerant covertly hateful fuckheads would break bread with Bull Connor right before he unleashed the firehoses and the dogs to attack Black people. That's how hateful you are. In short, GET FUCKED.

I heard about what the Governor said to Charlie Kirk about allowing trans kids to participate in sports. Governor, I know that you want to be President, and that you believe you can pave that road with the bodies of our children. I just want to tell you: we will never, ever, ever let that come to pass. Not that we will need to do much, because even the most casual observer sees a sleazy opportunist with no moral center when he looks at you.

May both sides of your pillow be warm, may you pour curdled milk into your coffee, may you be unceasingly aware of the seams in your socks.

Sincerely,

Ben Rosengart
