A group of Republicans at the University of Washington are being called out at as homophobes after a controversial Tweet from the organization’s president over the weekend.

The , 鈥淩epublicans are afraid to take true right wing stands on most issues. Rather than provide a real alternative to the cosmopolitan, GloboHomo agenda of the Democratic Party, they offer Liberalism Lite; basically all of the same stuff but with a tax cut.”

Unsurprisingly, the term 鈥済lobohomo鈥 caused some serious backlash on Twitter.

The organization’s president Armen Tooloee told KTTH鈥檚 Jason Rantz that he understands the confusion and may have chosen the wrong words.

鈥淚t actually didn鈥檛 have anything to do with gay people, specifically,” Tooloe said. “It鈥檚 short for globalized homogenized … I鈥檓 sure that you know that me and our club have no problem with people being gay.鈥

Tooloee went on to explain that he believes 鈥済lobalized homogenized鈥 is a good way to describe a political platform that supports a hyper-globalized economy and culture where every city, state, and even country have the same basic architecture, music, and culture.

鈥淭he only thing that differentiates people is a sort of identity politics game that they play where you鈥檙e such and such ethnicity or such and such race or you鈥檙e gay or you鈥檙e straight,鈥” Tooloe said. “What they really want to have is this globalized and homogenized society.鈥

Clearly, Tooloee isn鈥檛 a fan of this platform and he thinks voters are disappointed in their lawmakers who are support it.

He said he didn鈥檛 expect the backlash on Twitter. He was sitting in his car, waiting for someone, while from the National Conservative conference in D.C. where he was speaking about such matters. The term just came to Tooloee and now it鈥檚 become a distraction.

鈥淧eople are focused on the word itself and trying to say you鈥檙e a bigot or a homophobe or something because they don鈥檛 want to recognize that what I said is true,鈥 Tooloee said.

Jason鈥檚 never heard the shortening of globalized homogenized, so he did a quick Google search and spotted it in Urban Dictionary. It reads:

鈥淎 word used to describe a globalized and homogenized culture pushed for by large companies, politicians, and Neocon/Leftist pawns.鈥

But the definition further states, 鈥淭his culture includes metropolitan ideals such as diversity, homosexuality, sexual degeneracy, colorblindness in regard to race, egalitarianism, money worship, and the erasure of different individual cultures, among other things.鈥

While Jason doesn鈥檛 believe Tooloee subscribes to these beliefs, the 鈥淭he Daily Stormer,鈥 a White Nationalist publication, also uses the term.

Tooloee said he was unaware of that and wasn鈥檛 familiar with who coined the term. He had only seen it in passing on places like Twitter. While he likes the term because he thinks it aptly describes the platform, he concedes that he maybe should have done a little more research into its origins.

UW College Republicans says liberal students try to eliminate free speech

鈥淚 do regret that a little bit because of the unsavory characters that are tied to it, but I don鈥檛 think it necessarily needs to be tied to those people,鈥 Tooloee said. 鈥淚 think people are focusing too much on that part of it.鈥

In the future, Tooloee says he will likely stop using the term to avoid the controversy, but will continue making the point because he thinks it鈥檚 one that鈥檚 lacking among the Right.

Correction, 7/30/19: A previous version of this article cited the group as UW College Republicans. That has been edited to reflect that the group’s charter was previously revoked by the Washington College Republican Federation, and as such, it does not represent the College Republican organization.
