Cmon, no need to associate a popular gay dating app with republicans like it’s a bad thing. Enough to criticize the party for without bringing sexuality into it.
Honestly, if these republican leaders were honest and open about their homosexuality, I’d respect that. But they push strong anti-gay policies, gussied up as “family values,” and then when they’re out in the road away from their families they hit up Grindr. That I can’t respect. Gotta call out that hypocrisy.

What is Grindr?
It’s an app that republican politicians use to get dates while on the road campaigning or at conventions.

They bring sexuality into it with their policies. This is criticizing their hypocrisy about sexuality.
Gay hook-up/dating app that pre-dates Tinder. In fact, it inspired Tinder.
