This is from May but I don't think it ever got posted. Why So Many Gay Men Are So Hot For Hillary

Clinton




“She was bullied a lot by Republicans. I can relate to that”

Stop in on any given night at Revolver, a popular West Hollywood gay bar, and you’ll be bombarded by visions of perfectly chiseled men and underwear-clad dancers.

But instead of ogling go-go boys, the 200 or so men who arrived on this particular evening in late April were there to pay homage to their queen.

Queen Hillary, that is.

A lawyer by day, Mohajer is the political director of Bros4Hillary, a grassroots organization boasting mostly gay men from Los Angeles (though its founders insist it’s open to anyone) that was throwing its first major event at the bawdy bar. The group started as little more than a Facebook page, but for reasons even its organizers can’t quite explain, it took off.

Make sure to read at the link what this is about.

People who've been bullied know bullying when they see it. And they recognize Hillary's strength in standing up to it.

I saw more Hillary yard signs and bumper stickers there than I've seen in Seattle since the primaries began (which isn't hard, because I've seen zero yard signs here and maybe one bumper sticker).

She’s so qualified, we forget that she’s a woman vying for the biggest, hardest job in the country,” Mohajer said. “Having been vilified as a community, you’re on the outside looking in. And so is Hillary.”
