I have zero sympathy for people who want to be secret bigots and are exposed for it. Our country is going to become overtly fascist in November in part due to these bastards.

While I agree with your sentiment, this isn’t an example of ‘secret’ bigots as the article outlines:

Like a lot of gay New Yorkers, Anthony Tolve and John McGuigan spent the final Sunday in June at the city’s massive Pride parade.

But unlike most other attendees, the two flew massive rainbow flags expressing their support for former President Donald Trump.

Mark Dorman, a retired schoolteacher from the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, said he’s been practically blacklisted from his local gay bar, the Atlas Social Club, for his political affiliation. Dorman said he went public with his Trump love at the pub last summer, and he’s been feeling the anti-MAGA burn since.

Even better.

It's nice when the fascists are dumb enough to show their faces.
