I suppose it’s like the Nazi Party was, the extreme Butch gays were in positions of power, it was the femmes that were most likely to be persecuted.
Also note how it is now, if you are homosexual and agree with the ruling party lockstep, then you are fine. However, if you are homosexual and do anything in slight disagreement like the hoteliers did with presenting their ideas and their beliefs to Ted Cruz, then there has been a declared Boycott on them because they are out of line. Homosexual individuals are usually tools for the cause.
