Original caption
Nick Pringle says he went undercover at the Republican convention in Dallas posing as a gay escort to expose anti-LGBTQ+ hypocrisy. He later said he received threats through calls, emails, texts and DMs, and that his family was targeted too. Those claims have not been independently verified, and neither have the identities referenced in his removed follow-up video. Threatening someone, or their family, because they challenged political hypocrisy is vile. #LGBT #RepublicanConvention #LGBTQ #hypocrite #TheWokeGinger
