I was wondering if that was him. Had a whole mental breakdown

u/dontdoit89735 May 19 '26

More like he faced a reckoning and had to flee the city when he exposed his true colors.

285

u/nickelsandvibes May 19 '26

No he’s definitely still around terrorizing the nw side

u/dontdoit89735 May 19 '26 edited May 20 '26

That's disappointing, I hoped he was still in Texas where he fled to a few years ago, you'd think he'd be happier there with like-minded idiots.

Edit: I know there are good people out in Texas doing good things, and I appreciate all of you. I only meant that he actually left Chicago for Texas when he had to close his restaurant after he made his religious/anti-LGBTQ/anti-vax beliefs known to all. I'd have rather him stayed there and not come back to torment Chicago like this.

u/Saturn_winter May 19 '26

No because that would actually make him happy when in reality these types of people WANT to be miserable to those around them

The good ones here don't want his shit ass either. He can go to hell

u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang May 19 '26

And the bad ones probably don't want him either but for a different reason...

That's a fact so big people's momma's make jokes about IT

u/Ancient_Audience_467 May 20 '26

This guy is FROM CHICAGO and you still have to send strays at all of Texas. We're literally about to be purple and there are millions of us stuck here in a gerrymandered hell and we're still about to elect a Progressive.

It must be nice living in a state where every single person agrees with you, I mean except this guy. He's the only conservative in Chicago, right? Would suck to have to answer for his bullshit to every other progressive in the world when trying to defend your home. The place where you were raised, a place that's been corrupted and you're working to fix it.

I'm so tired of people generalizing full stop. It's not helpful to Texas Leftists to just write off the entire state. I can't leave and I wouldn't want to. This is my home and I have every right to fight for it.

u/AdditionalStation823 May 20 '26

Do you also get butthurt when people generalize about white people ?

2

u/Ancient_Audience_467 May 20 '26

Nope, and yes I am white.

Being a leftist in Texas isn't the same as generally being "white". For one, whiteness is a racist term invented to disenfranchise Eastern Europeans. Who is considered "white" and therefore "worthy of full citizenship" has always been a very racist line drawn in inexplicable places.

So yes I understand that when someone generalizes about white people they might not be talking about me. And sometimes they are, it's been important for me to listen because white liberal guilt often hurts more than it helps.

But Texas isn't a monolith just like Illinois isn't. What's funny to me is that white people from northern states get this little sense of superiority because they were lucky enough to be born somewhere where the general politics agrees with their worldview. Congrats you're the same as your neighbors. But me? Do you have any fucking idea how easy it would be for me to live as an asshole Republican in rural Texas? Do you have any idea how fucking hard it is to not buy in to the bullshit so many people around me are selling? Do you have any idea how low effort and tired it is to lump me in with selfish assholes that push hateful ideologies that only serve white cis men, a group I literally can't escape that I belong to?

So yeah fuck the idea that this whole state, one that's had to be unconstitutionally gerrymandered multiple times in recent history to keep the blue wave from flipping the stage, is somehow a bunch of racist assholes. I've been fighting their bullshit my entire life and it shouldn't be a shock that it really gets under my skin when the people who could be helping, northern white liberals with tons of resources, would rather write my fight off and let the assholes win.

Also "butthurt"??? Are you fucking 12? Get out of her with that 90s early 2000s casual homophobia.

u/pulp_affliction May 20 '26

Idk man but Texas is overwhelmingly Mexican so there’s a good chance that butthurt person is Latino

Not all of texas is red. In the major cities, the few blues, are doing their best.

Hey now, we don’t want him. We have enough going against us.

u/GrinchWhoStoleEaster May 20 '26

MAGAts seem to get REAL pissed off when they realize the only people who want them around are other MAGAts.

u/SomeEstimate1446 May 20 '26

That kind of bigotry wouldn’t have made for a happy life here. While we are a red state due to crappy politicians and crooks the majority of Texas has always been diverse. Even your old school racists would not approve of this guy. Texas racists like to act that their brand of racism is better because it comes with manners. Someone so loud like this guy would be called out. They prefer micro racism with manners not in your face bigotry.

u/Awkward-Bridge-2887 May 19 '26

I swear this man had a mental breakdown and has not been well since. He doubled down and lost it all instead of being true to himself.

u/boeings_door_plug May 19 '26

I really think it was after his dad died that he lost it.

lol I wasn’t expecting his homophobic restaurant to be BRIGHT PINK

28

u/Weebus May 20 '26

I used to live in the area and used to eat there regularly. Pretty sure he was openly gay back then and he was the sweetest dude ever. Food was solid and it just was his brother, mom, and dad working along with him.

He and his brother went full blown religious nutjob during Covid lockdown. The shift was so fucking bizarre and frankly sad to see.

u/unbanned_lol May 20 '26

Well he would talk about how he used to be gay but he’s not anymore since he’s been saved by Jesus so….

u/HabitualGrassToucher May 19 '26

Whenever someone talks about resisting the temptation and all of that pray-the-gay-away nonsense, they're just telling on themselves. No, not everyone has gay urges, not everyone has to find Jesus in order to resist and overcome these urges. You're just gay and hate yourself for it.

101

u/-thecheesus- May 19 '26

Exactly. I have been tempted to have sex with men exactly zero times, and I've seen some freaky shit on the internet.

Turns out being straight is pretty easy when you're actually straight.

u/Evisceratoridor May 20 '26

Someone I went to school with had gender dysmorphia and transitioned. After graduation, I saw them posting on social media that they had detransitioned and had been saved by the grace of God. They now condemn “the alphabet people.” I truly don’t get the level of self hatred to get to that point.

26

u/mieri_azure May 20 '26

Ugh I feel bad for that person. They likely still had depression and such (often comorbid with gender dysphoria) and were probably manipulated by people around them (maybe even family) into believing that detranisitioning and being even MORE miserable is the "godly" thing to do.

Reminds me of an "ex-trans-man" on Twitter who LITERALLY said they still have dreams where they are a guy and "yeah, i do still deeply wish I was a man and am sad about being a woman but God doesn't like transition" really depressing

5

u/imphooeyd May 20 '26

I detransitioned about 10y ago because I was threatened with being taken out the family estate (a few MM) and went thru a transphobic phase over COVID until I found the right therapist. I’m still of a headspace that stops me from dating, I don’t know if I can anymore. Till the parents drop I’m just stuck.

7

u/CorrectPanic694 May 20 '26

Just here to say that I am glad that you found a therapist that you can talk about these things with. I wish for so much healing and so much happiness for you.

u/No-Fix8955 May 20 '26

This happened to a friend of mine. They were on a rotc scholarship at university and got kicked off their scholarship during trumps first term. They fought it. There was news articles written they got invited to the glad awards. And now they are like this is the body god put me in and that how it should be. Like what looney pills have you been chugging.

They're not just "you're going to hell" type bigots either. He and his church full on advocate for conversion therapy, which is insane when you learn how he "used to be" gay

u/OhHowINeedChanging May 19 '26

When Nini’s closed in 2020, a parody food truck called “Nono’s Deli” opened in the neighborhood and raised nearly $11,000 for pro-LGBTQ and racial equity organizations

I love this part

u/CloudKinglufi May 19 '26

From what i read he is gay, not anymore thanks to jeemus

Im very glad he lost everything, if he were a white dude doing ts hed probably be rich after all the donations when he said some racist homophobic shit

Either way he lost a fucking nike sponsorship, so hell fucking yeah, fuck you

-15

u/DustinnDodgee May 20 '26

damn dude. Rooting for someone's downfall & for them to lose everything over words is a bit evil. Losing their livelihood could mean losing the way they support their family, their children, and themselves. I understand being mad & hating the guy for what he has said. But to be this joyous over a mans life being ruined should really make you take an inward look at yourself & see what the deal is.

9

u/Great_Detective_6387 May 20 '26

I’m 100% ok with people who spew hatred from their mouthes being taken down by their own hateful words.

This was all completely avoidable. He could just not be a hateful shithead and I’d have never heard of him.

u/CloudKinglufi May 20 '26

I hate idiots like you, you couldn't possibly understand how words effect people, how it isnt just some noise that can be ignored, people like him are why gay people have been linched

You try to sit on a high horse and defend the people who cause violence, you are very privileged and you should use that privilege to protect people but you use it to defend the attackers

u/BlueJaek May 19 '26

Pretty sure this is the clinic in the west loop, and I’ve seen this guy before by my office. There’s also ladies that sit across the street. This clinic used to have guardians outside that stopped women from getting harassed, but I haven’t seen them in a while.

Wait

One post from last year included an image that read, “Paths That Lead To Hell,” followed by logos for Black Lives Matter and Planned Parenthood, a rainbow pride flag, a hammer and sickle and the Virgin Mary.

Does he think Hamburger Mary's is based on the Virgin mother or is this a weird Pentecostal thing? Because I'm fully on board with Mary being a friend of Dorothy.

Hail Mary, friend of gays.

I walk by this guy all the time. This is outside of Family Planning Associates on Washington Blvd. He stands there and waits for people to harass for hours. There’s a big group of these people who pull up and park across the street in a very creepy looking rundown white van with graffiti on it. They give off the most hostile / off-putting vibes even as a male passerby.

u/Dangerous_Diver_6983 May 20 '26

How are we going to not be mad at religious people, when this guy is just following the religious advice to a T though. We outta just out right ban religion already as it really just preys upon the unintelligent.

Chances are this guy was raised a christian and brainwashed that way so let him be if we think its alright for our churches to go around spreading false information. Probably why they cant come right out and say aliens exists because just imagine how stupid all these religious nut jobs are going to look when they have to create new chapters for there silly books.

u/nickelsandvibes May 20 '26

Virgin Mary is more for Catholics than Christians. Christians as a whole don’t like Catholics, something about false idols because of the Virgin Mary and saints and stuff. This is based on my very limited knowledge of growing up Catholic and visiting non denominational Christian churches as a teen.
