There are other members of the LGBT group who are as bad but I only know of one or two lesbians who are the same kind of piece of crap he is while I can name dozens of gay men who are and I think it not only has to do with them being either rich or aspiring to be rich but, also, having the sense of entitlement and privilege that they get from being men. That is why they can identify with the privileged class that an asshole like Ben Shapiro belongs to and services and will support parties and candidates and spoilers who would destroy the equal rights and lives of even other, non-elite gay men, not to mention lesbians, bisexuals and trans people.
He, or rather his type of, as Micheal Brooks put it, "pseudo-intellectual, talent-free, policy-illiterate, hack, shallow, shell of a man," who is also gay reminds me of the Luis Molina (William Hurt) character in Kiss of the Spider Woman who is enamored of the glamour he saw in a fictional piece of Nazi propaganda based on cinematic images and manipulation. Only, in their case, it's hankering after the same thing. David Brock is about the only one I've ever known of who had enough of a moral and intellectual center to really break out of that. Andrew Sullivan is not. Ken Mehlman, is not. Lindsay Graham is certainly not. It really disturbs me as a gay man how many gay men like that there are and how other apparatchiks of Republican-fascism like Ted Olson can champion their rights within their privileged private lives to a fascist-dominated Supreme Court even as they all support inequality and far worse for other oppressed minorities in the world.
Dave Rubin is not anyone I want anything to do with. I'm not on the side of the rich, the white, the privileged and I reject any privilege over the majority of people.
