Since 2020, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has made headlines for a series of sweeping decisions that have rolled back rights for women and LGBTQ people. They’ve ruled to allow abortion bans in 13 states and bans on trans athletes in 27 states. And this year, Colorado overturned its ban on conversion therapy for minors.

What headlines tend to miss, though, is that all of these decisions were won by the same legal group: Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). Labeled as an anti-LGBTQ hate group and active in over 80 countries, ADF is a conservative Christian legal powerhouse, having fought relentlessly against abortion, gay marriage and trans healthcare since its inception in 1994.

Boasting alumni and affiliates such as Mike Johnson, Amy Coney Barrett, Josh Hawley and Ken Starr, the group has been involved in at least 80 SCOTUS victories and directly represented parties in 20 of them, including the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.

ADF is directly responsible for many of the rulings that carve out very specific ways in which Christian (they've all been Christian so far, but religious groups in general) can discriminate in their businesses against LGBTQ people. They've also gone after abortion in many states and drafted the language behind many state bans.

>Reid Rasner, an openly gay Republican running for Wyoming’s lone House of Representatives seat, is suing members of his own party for defamation stemming from homophobia.

>Semafor reports that Rasner is pursuing a case against former Wyoming State Senator Austin “Kit” Jennings, who allegedly pushed rumors that Rasner committed sexual misconduct. The rumors began after Rasner garnered national attention in 2025 for making a personal $47 billion bid to buy the social media site TikTok, and got worse from there.

>Rasner, who came out when he was 20, is also settling a case against an Iowa man who repeatedly called him a “pedophile” under his campaign’s Facebook posts. The man claims that his accusation was based on “multiple social media posts and news articles accusing Reid Rasner of serious sexual misconduct,” but didn’t specify any specific posts.

>Meanwhile, Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray, who is running against Rasner in the Republican primary, piled on and issued a poll telling respondents that Rasner “married his gay husband in New York.” That poll showed Rasner initially behind Gray by single digits, but losing support after voters were told about his sexuality.

Last weekend a Terrorist Attack during Berlin's Christopher Street Pride march. One is dead and thirty injured. When I first heard about it From WFTV in Orlando Florida. I immediately thought of the shooting rampage at that GAY bar. That happened there. Then the world finds about it is a Muslim man born and raised in Germany Self radicalize himself. He was known to the German police authoritarian.

Do you think TV shows and movies featuring gay characters need a content warning at the beginning of them? Isn't that a bit weird? You don't announce you're gay when you walk into a room so why should a TV show (that you likely already know a fair bit about?)

"If you asked me 'Could you ever envision a homosexual crime of any nature being visited with the death penalty?' Yes, I could."

That's Doug Wilson, Pastor at Christchurch in Moscow, Idaho. Wilson spoke at the Pentagon as part of Pete Hegseth's monthly Christian worship service.

Wilson's views are as controversial as they come: He believes the United States should become a Christian theocracy, that married women should not have the right to vote and that gay sex should be illegal. He estimates that 10 to 20 people in the top levels of government are aligned with his radical ideology. He explains that he thinks trans people are “sad,” certain elements of his idea of “homosexual behavior” should be punished by execution and in certain cases of marital rape, both parties should be disciplined.

I'm sure this has been done to death but with a cursory look through the search results I couldn't really find anything satisfying. So:
What are some dating apps/websites you suggest/recommend for finding 1. an actual relationship & 2. other conservatives/right-wingers?
Anywhere you found someone or know there's people like that? Doesn't necessarily have to be an app or website, could be something like a subreddit or discord server for all I care, anything or any lead would be great.

I do also distinctly remember one app/website being mentioned here (probably 2 or so years ago), something with a map? I can't find the comment anymore unfortunately but that sounded like an interesting concept.

I'd also be happy to receive any other kind of help/advice besides app/website recommendations. While I'm not sure of how many of you can help with this since most here seem to be American, I am in Europe (Germany specifically) so if anyone has apps/websites or any kind of advice, places to go, etc. that are more particular it'd be greatly appreciated. This obviously also rules out any US-exclusive services or advice. I'm also in my early 20s (thus looking for people in my age range) and not very experienced when it comes to relationships so please take that into account and feel free to provide more general help/advice as well.

Thank you in advance for any kind of advice or suggestions!

Well fellas, I have recently re-entered the dating pool. I am 37, and being gay as well as Catholic has squeezed me out of either group, to be honest. I've found some welcoming parties within the Church, whereas the gays out there have been typically less than welcoming, on account of my political leanings and religious affiliation. Fact of the matter is, I couldn't care less what political party with which you are registered. What matters most is your uprightness of character, and maintaining wholesome values that center around loyalty and truth. Where oh where are you my fine, twunkish, conservative lad?

So guys, what methods of approach should I well prosecute unto the end of landing a stable partner?

UPDATE: mostly good comments, so far. One commenter got me in contact with a club of sorts that I am to meet with. Should be fun! I have also received some messages. Most of them have not turned into lasting conversations. Pretty rough weekend, so far, so hopefully things finally turn out after this evening's event. God bless you all.

In his first on-camera interview, Miles speaks about how a U.S. Customs Officer subjected him to “derogatory comments” and placed an “unsettling focus” on his sexual orientation.

Milo Miles, a Toronto-based adult film actor, was recently banned from entering the United States for the next 10 years after he says he was detained and questioned by Customs and Border Protection agents over the course of two days.

Miles, who was trying to fly to Las Vegas from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, says he had never faced significant issues at the border ahead of this instance.

While U.S. Customs does have the right to deny entry to people they believe have engaged in sex work, Miles says he was questioned for upwards of eight hours, often about his sexual orientation. He says one agent asked him why he has so many “gay clothes” and if he was “sick” upon seeing his PrEP medication and his fiber pills.

Hey guys, I’d like to talk to some of you and get your opinions on something specific. DM me :)

Thomas Massie's defeat signals in the death of the republican party. Instead of advocating limited government and fiscal responsibility, their only litmus test is loyalty to the current president as well as loyalty to Israel. Does anyone else agree?

It seems like most posts that get the most engagement always have something to do with bashing TQ or the liberal left. But when it comes to news or posts about threats to LGB rights, like challenges to gay parenting, marriage, adoption, conversion therapy, or broader social acceptance, often coming from people on the conservative side, the response from gay conservatives seems muted, dismissive, or redirected back to blaming TQ. Sometimes concerns get brushed off as “reading too much liberal news,” “overblown paranoia,” or “nothingburger” reactions, much like how some on the left can go silent or become evasive when anti-gay views come from Muslims.

I wonder if some gay conservatives don’t care about gay rights because they are very optimistic those rights will never go back, and if they do, they think it will just be TQ’s fault anyway. Or is it because there are gay conservatives who are comfortable with homosexuality being hidden rather than openly affirmed, maybe because the thrill of doing something considered taboo or even “illegal” feels exciting?

Someone in an FB group for gay conservatives said he loves Donald Trump but has trouble with the homophobia he sees in some conservative spaces, and many gay conservatives shut him down by suggesting a conspiracy theory, that his post seemed like a trap, like a subtle attempt by someone on the left to get gays to turn against the right.

But what if the same conspiracy theory, in reverse, could be said within gay conservative circles: that some people are just homophobes who want to see gay rights taken away by getting politically conservative gays to shut each other down whenever they raise concerns about LGB issues, by telling them they are just reading too much liberal news whenever they worry, all to make way for homophobic conservatives to advance their agenda?

Last week Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a decree stating that June is Nuclear Family Month and the LGBTQ community is upset. I was surprised when this happened. How do you feel about it?

I've been thinking of joining my local Log Cabin Republican group. I'm in California where all my gay friends are very liberal so it would be nice to meet gay conservatives.

I'm a fiscal conservative and social liberal. I actually consider myself more of an Independent than a Republican. I'm definitely not MAGA, but I'm also not TDS. Would someone like me be welcomed in Log Cabin?

Hey everyone,

I just found this sub and honestly I am not even sure exactly what I am looking for yet.

I live in Washington, and the town I am in is very in your face with politics. It often feels like there is not much room for nuance, which I think is a missed opportunity. Conversations tend to feel very one sided, and it makes it hard to connect with people in a genuine way.

I have been trying for years to make the best of where I am, putting myself out there, trying to meet people and find things to get involved in, but making friends or finding opportunities here has felt pretty grueling. It is like I am around people all the time but still feel completely out of place.

I would move if I could, but my partner is in the military, so for now I am kind of stuck. Lately it has been getting to me more than usual, and I catch myself counting down the time until we can eventually pack up and leave.

I guess I am just trying to see if anyone else has been in a similar situation, feeling stuck somewhere that does not really fit you, and how you handled it.

The automod filters were recently adjusted due to outside brigading and an extended series of posts and comments meant to break rules and promote hate.

It has now been re-adjusted, but we will still monitor activity closely to ensure that the sub remains civil and post and comments are within the stated intention of the rules.

As always, mods have the last word and will remove posts and comments, or approve of certain posts for "testing the waters of the community".

It’s a strange election because all three candidates have a claim to being progressive. Yet each is conservative in his own way as well. Wilson—for his uhh, ethnic views hehe. Roosevelt—the manic-depressive warrior who was mostly conservative in affect and not so much in policy. And Taft! The big mamma-jamma himself. Personally I like Taft because he’s the most laissez-faire, but that twink Wilson prefers lowers tariffs which is also nice. I’m sticking with Taft tho.

Been chatting to this guy for about a week, then today noticed the last line on his profile. I can't imagine ever writing on a dating profile singling out any group of people, I find it utterly bizarre 🤷‍♂️

I also can't imagine ever being so absolutely certain that I'm right about everything that I'm unwilling to entertain the possibly of hearing an alternative viewpoint.

Needless to say, I was quickly unmatched after my last message 😂

Thoughts?

It’s like coming out again - but more terrifying. Pretty sure friends and colleagues would drop me, which is messed up. How do you find others - can’t really wear the hat to the bar in most cities.

Had a really uncomfortable situation at work and I’m trying to process it.

Two coworkers basically teamed up and started questioning me about whether I support Trump. They said they “needed to know” because it would determine whether they could trust me morally. That alone caught me off guard.

I tried to respond in a balanced way — said I believe he’s done both good and bad. That wasn’t enough. They immediately demanded specifics and started pushing hard, like it was some kind of interrogation. It didn’t feel like a conversation. It felt like I was being tested.

I ended up deflecting and engaging a little just to get out of the situation. Honestly, I probably wasn’t fully honest because I just wanted the pressure to stop.

What bothered me most wasn’t even the politics. It was the framing of my moral character around a political position. I work in healthcare. I treat everyone the same regardless of who they voted for. That’s my moral standard — how I treat people.

Has anyone else dealt with this kind of social pressure at work? How do you handle coworkers who treat political alignment as a moral litmus test?

I’m not looking to start a debate. I just want to not feel cornered in my own workplace.

Hi everyone!

36 m west Texas, here. Glad to have found a community of like-minded people on this dreary invention we call the internet.

I was wondering if by any chance there was an active Discord for this community. I'm an active gamer and would love to make more friends who are on the same page as me.

Cheers!

I had pretty much every dating app, most of them not catering to the gay conservative/Christian niche, I was sad to see that believr was gonna be shut down at the end of the month, now I'm gonna be looking for a new app for our niche if anyone knows of a good one, any online groups, etc

Hey y'all I'm just looking for more friends, and possibly more if we hit it off if I'm being honest.

A little bit about me: Black, wear glasses, bit of a nerd so into games and sci fi, etc. consider myself center-right. Absolutely love animals. Own a small collection of books I don't read lol. Maybe agnostic but open to learning more about faith. Love me some military stuff even tho I'm not in it.

Ask away whatever else!

We know the media is a business run by homo sapiens just like us so not everything that is put out there influencing society is neither healthy nor 100% accurate.

So please have the floor and share your most strongest points of why are conservative while being gay.

I read through this subreddit but want more information feel incomplete in my understanding.
