The idea that people need to be compelled to not be pieces of shit. This is built on the assumption that people are shitty by nature, ie Madison vs. Monroe and the federalist papers. This fallacy provides a way of passing judgement on others for their assumptions or opinions, and contributes disagreeable assumptions/opinions to an over-generalization that is based on geographic location. The fact that it is just geographic location that determines a person's assumptions or opinions shows how over-generalized this idea is, which in turn makes it a fallacy.

Get the Slippery slope fallacy mug.A hypothesis that predicts a pattern of hypocrisy from prominent figures in entertainment, politics, etc. It posits that, "the louder someone is for a value of ethic and/or moral behavior, the less likely they actually subscribed to it in their personal lives." The name comes from the stereotypical "Christian values" conservative who supports anti-LGBTQ legislation, only to get caught leaving a gay bar or sleeping with a male prostitute. This isn't isolated to such cases, as the Gay Republican fallacy applies to any case of a public figure who's a proponent for a specific cause/value getting outed for actions that contradict their advocacy. This can be a celebrity who's a big supporter of feminism, only to get ousted for having a history of predatory behavior. It could also be a reality TV show husband whose a proponent of "traditional family values" and being loyal to your wife getting caught having an affair or an account on an adult chat site. Maybe is comes from a place of guilt or self-loathing, or maybe these individuals' public personas are a self aware grift to draw up support from specific demographics (the religious, the politically correct, etc.). The answer is unclear, but the Gay Republican fallacy always has been and always will be; as ling as there's a celebrity or politician ruins their reputation by being a complete hypocrite.
Wow, James Franco hopped on the #metoo movement, only to get ousted for using his acting school to pressure female students into sleeping with him. Just another example of the Gay Republican Fallacy.
