Democrats understand that being gay doesn't restrict their power. Republicans hate gays because they are religiously indoctrinated to hate them.
You can be gay under Democrats, but you're sure as shit gonna stay a slave.
We are not slaves by quite some stretch, as much as Republicans want that back. "Wage slavery" is a fun term, but it doesn't actually reflect the variety of options people have available to them that real slaves do not.
As long as we can unionize, the chains cannot bind us.
Want to explain the options?
It seems to me like slavery except you can request to work for a different master and you are required to maintain yourself instead of getting food and housing in exchange for labor.
Your punishment for refusing to work is to die in the streets, compared to being beaten or sold off.
I would say our current wage slavery system is equally as bad as indentured servitude, the illusion of choice is maintained.
Having to work is not slavery, good god. That's incredibly insulting to those who actually are slaves.
You do get food and housing in exchange for labor, it's money.
You have options to fight back and get higher wages, like unionization. You can choose where to work which is NOT an illusion of choice, it's a real one.
There is no form of society that can function without people working.
