Interesting how this seems to happen every single time there's a large gathering of Republicans.

An outage report graph and US map showing outage reports for Grindr concentrated on Glendale, AZ.

Your problem, Henry, is that you are hung up on words, on labels: "gay", "homosexual", "lesbian." You think they tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don't tell you that. Like all labels, they refer to one thing and one thing only: Where does a person so identified fit in the food chain? In the pecking order. Not ideology or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Who owes me favors. Not who I fuck or who fucks me, but who will pick up the phone when I call. To someone who doesn't understand this, homosexual is what I am because I sleep with men, but this is wrong. Homosexuals are not men who sleep with other men. Homosexuals are men who, in 15 years of trying, can't get a pissant anti-discrimination bill through City Council. They are men who know nobody, and who nobody knows. Now, Henry, does that sound like me?

    "Henry, the only label I need is Sexual Libertarian. An omnivore of genitals and hearts. Come as you are... All over the place. And so will I. Does that sound enticing, Henry?"

    Roy Cohn https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Angels_in_America and there's more context to the quotes, generally the context is realpolitik, power for power's sake. A real asshole you wouldn't want to play Diplomacy with. Someone with no ethics but winning. The subject of a run the jewels song. Family Famously Donnie T's never admit you lost coach. The message is alluring if taken at face value, and seems like wisdom, but if you get taken advantage of was it really you who was weak?

    I had no idea - my add-on comment was just what came to mind as would fit in well. Not shocked to learn it's about Roy Cohn, though, the "I'm gay, but I exist in a plane of wealthy predator above normies that worry about their sexuality as a label because I'm allowed to participate in society however I want" vibe was strong. I figured it was Peter Thiel, so not far off.
