The billionaire’s donations failed in 2022 and 2023, making him one of the early contributors to anti-trans causes. Now, his PAC is partnering with an offshoot of the anti-trans Turning Point USA.

Both can be true? He said some mildly pro-queer-rights stuff pretty soon before that all happened, and it's clear that Grimes calling him out and his daughter disowning him got under his skin. That's not to defend, not even slightly; rather, the shift in targets and more explicit right-wing affiliation definitely go along with him being (and I wish I could remember who coined this) the most divorced man on the planet.

The moral failings were already there, but now he's found a big glowing target for his tantrums, unfortunately for us queer folks.
