    I suspect Glenn Greenwald and Matt Gaetz have a lot in common in terms of the types of personal rights they want to protect. Greenwald married a 19 year old in his late thirties. I just feel he’s always been a libertarian, and people are just now seeing how those allegiances shake out.

    I don’t want to make any accusations, but I think there’s a type of privileged rich queer person who knows their attention from younger people would dry up in a less homophobic and more equitable society. This dynamic is way more commonly exploited by straight cis men in their sexcapades, and many men are correct in their fears that a just state would replace the bare minimum they put into relationships very easily.

      I can understand what you're saying. There's a level of power that older, financially stable white gay men have.

      I mean look at something as simple as Grindr. The people most reliably able to host a hookup are people who can either afford their own place or a hotel. That's not something most young people or people of color are going to have very often. Especially in cities like SF where it's hard enough to live with roommates.
