LGBTQ Americans Are Now Pro-2A, Stocking Up on Guns Ahead of Jan 20th

The LGBTQ community is making an interesting stance.

Usually liberals are all about gun control.

But now they’re advocating for arming up and practicing at the shooting range.

Isn’t that a bit hypocritical?

Groups like The Pink Pistols and Socialist Rifle Association report surging memberships.

This is reflecting a growing paranoia over their “safety” and being sent to some gulag.

For some, arming up isn’t about aggression—it’s about ensuring their rights and lives are protected in uncertain times.

Daily Mail reports:

Across the nation, LGBTQ people are taking up arms, driven by fears of escalating political rhetoric, targeted legislation, and what many describe as the specter of persecution.

As the Republican Party has pushed for increasingly restrictive policies on gender-affirming care and divisive policies, some LGBTQ Americans are turning to self-defense as their ultimate safeguard.

‘It’s all about survival,’ said Matthew Thompson, a 36-year-old gay man from Oakland, New Jersey to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

‘We’re not looking to arm up and storm the Capitol. We just don’t want to be put in concentration camps.’

Thompson’s words echo a sentiment growing louder within the LGBTQ community, especially in states where conservative lawmakers have advanced bans on gender-affirming care and portrayed transgender individuals as societal threats.

For many, the idea of armed self-defense is no longer theoretical but something that feels essential.

For a 24-year-old trans woman from Philadelphia named Amy, the decision to purchase her first firearm came after months of unease.

As Texas upheld a ban on gender-affirming care for minors and Florida restricted access to hormone therapies, she felt an urgent need to prepare for her own safety.

The Liberal Gun Club, a national organization that promotes firearm training for progressive Americans, has received thousands of new training requests, with LGBTQ individuals comprising nearly a quarter of those inquiries.

In Philadelphia, queer-focused Facebook groups and forums have become hubs for discussions on gun training and ownership.

The Socialist Rifle Association (SRA), a leftist alternative to the NRA, has experienced a similar influx.

The Delaware Valley chapter reported a spike in memberships and saw its gun safety classes fill up faster than ever.

The Pink Pistols, a longstanding LGBTQ gun advocacy group founded in 2000 with the slogan ‘Armed Gays Don’t Get Bashed,’ has also noted a surge in inquiries with more than two dozen chapters across the United States.

Numerous posts put out by the LGBTQ crew has them showing of their guns.

The armed rainbow crew is a curious twist but not that surprised by it.

For some reason I’m reminded of story in the Bible about a city that was quick to threaten violence against a man named Lot when he didn’t bow to their demands.

On an interesting side note, Call of Duty was promoting trans bullets:
