When he complained, rightwingers sent him homophobic taunts online.

Black gay Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.

“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”

It seems Rob Smith has found out his face is as tasty as any other to the leopards.

I don't even feel bad anymore for these morons. If after all this time you still support the Reich wing, especially as a gay minority then I don't know what they expected.

"But I'm the good one!" The leopard cares not, the leopard cares only to feast on the face.

Don't those ultra-manly republicans know that confronting a gay guy is totes gay though

Never backing down is part of the ethos of the right so he certainly fits on that part. He probably thinks his gay part attributes are god testing him.

That's so weird! "Conservatives" are so very educated, tolerant, and forward-thinking...
