I mean, good, but was it really only kept together by a closeted bisexual and only started collapsing after she was outed?

(I am ignorant)

There’s also the Moms for Liberty organizer who was a convicted sex offender that was identified about a month before the bisexual couple. Their candidates had been losing plenty of local elections before all these scandals came out because it turns out a lot of people don’t want to elect crazy book banning people to their local school boards.

It was kept together by an organized foreign influence campaign intended to influence US electoral politics.

And her husband accused of sexual assault, and a lost of interest from the not extrem members.

And what a scandal lol. I have no idea why someone would work with an organization that they need to hide their sexuality from, especially when it isn’t the norm.

Lots of people will go against their best interest in the name of fitting in or having the slightest amount of power. This isn't a new phenomenon. These days people do it for a viral social media clip....

Well the weird thing with that is that performative bisexuality on the part of a woman inside a heterosexual relationship framework where the idea is that it is in service to a man's desire for sexual liasons with multiple female partners is sort of conceived by some people as "heterosexuallity plus"... A lot of the moral panic doesn't kick in unless another male partner is introduced or there becomes strong evidence that the female partnership is continuing to happen when the male isn't around.

I could totally see one of these arrangements developing into a full blown romantic affair between two women but the compulsory heterosexual frame work providing more than enough internal gas lighting and refusal to reflect so they never connect the dots that they are in fact queer. It's basically the distinction between kink and identity.

Internalized homophobia be a trip.
