I have not seen the show yet so I can offer only a possible guess.
There is a long history of gays (once closeted but an open secret, now more out in the open) who labored for causes and politicians that were not just conservative but squarely inconsistent with their own orientation. There was a "thing" referred to as the Lavender Bund in the last quarter of the last century. Nowadays, there are out gays (Mati Weiderpass and Ian Reisner, Peter Thiel, etc) who (for whatever reason) support extremely conservative Republican politicians and causes. Again, I don't know, but perhaps the point is to use this as a vehicle for depicting the abject amorality of those functioning in the revolving door of Congressional staff and lobbyists? |
