How is this news?
Sounds like a confession.
Imagine being so young and having so much hate in you.
I pity that woman.
If these closeted self-hating hypocritical politicians would just increase funding for mental health programs in our country, and then take part in them, maybe they’d realize that normal people wouldn’t hate them for who they are.
Maybe they’d learn than it’s only their foolish party that’s trying to buy the votes of hateful bigots and misogynists via hateful accusations and oppressive policy that seemingly hate everyone, yet can never explain in when pressed up against confession.
Every accusation is a confession.
Yes. Literally every single one.
You’re a genius…
Question: why are you still on Lemmy if you hate it so much?
I wanted to see why you’re typing this and saw that your comment history from three day ago is nothing but shitting on this site. Now you’re back with an upturned nose again.
Some people just want to see the world burn
I wonder who of them eats cats and dogs. Probably RFK
RFK Jr. has had to literally make a public denial that he ate a dog. And yet he seems to have no sympathy for Haitian migrants.

Well, he said he ate dog and also at the very least tries to eat bear.
NGL, I’ve met 3 people in my life that are/were drag queens. All 3 have tried to get in my pants even though I’m not gay. HOWEVER COMMA, that was just 3 people in that community. That doesn’t define the whole demographic.
Not sure what that first point was about. Drag isn’t as much of a life style as it is a recreation(at least within the context of the Queer community). When Drag Queens go to work, they aren’t doing it in drag. Not sure where you met those three drag queens, but I would guess it was at a party and that you’ve met many, many more drag queens in your life.
I was trying to express that I understood how and why people would be bothered by drag queens themselves. Very narrow minded perspective mind you, but I still understand it and found a way out of it. I m certain those 3 people didn’t mean anything by it. Nor did I mean anything really by saying the number. That’s just how. I don’t let them represent the entire demographic, but I also understand the perspective of those people that have been acclimated to oppose it
Why do use an example of 3 drag queens hitting on you as an example of them doing something bad? I’ve been hit on by other guys even though I’m straight, and I find it flattering more than anything. It’s not like people know your sexual preferences by looking at you.
You said it yourself that you didn’t know them beyond their personas and they didn’t know you beyond the bar. Regardless this doesn’t make them pedophiles
Wholeheartedly agree. That was my point
I love how she said she gets along with everyone and still went on to say that it’s “impossible to walk around New York City without running into a mentally ill fa***t.” Like, who do you think you’re referring to with that statement? Because it seems to me she’s referring to the drag queen she “gets along with.” At least the hypocrisy remains consistent.
drag queens have a right to… drag? personal life doesn’t impact professional life or affect any parties not involved. People should be able to find their happiness in this fucked up world.
And to be more clear. I’m criticizing people who have let their upbringing convince them that something that is none of their business somehow impacts their personal life
It shouldn’t, but the reality is that it does. When someone has a bad day and Karens out, maybe says some especially heinous stuff, maybe says some racist stuff. They usually aren’t at work. They are usually fine at doing their jobs but quite a few people have been fired over stuff like that. That is definitely personal life affecting professional life.
I could keep going, but the reality is that it has become quite acceptable these days to get in professional hot water for what you do when you aren’t on the clock.
Hell, even drug tests at work are usually getting punished in your professional life for your personal life.
Yeah. I might have misspoke in that regard. What my ultimate opinion is that if your personal life isn’t impacted by what stranger’s do, then you have no position to properly speak on it
Absolutely, it’s also completely ridiculous that she seems to recognize that drag can be fun and chill, yet continues to double down on the phobia.
Ew, why would they party with him?
Him?
Her?
Did you just assume their pronouns?
Valentina Gomez’s pronouns are well-known.
It’s a She and her name is Valentina Gomez.
I’mma guess there’s good reason he got…exposed.
This is such a weird phenomena, but also a sad one. I’m assuming she does enjoy partying with drag queens but is so ashamed about it that she decides to compensate by rallying against them, sort of like how staunch anti-gay politicians are often caught in gay acts.
Or maybe it was just some drunken lapse of her “”“moral beliefs”“”, can’t really tell.
Interesting that GOP will list things that they are opposed to and then go and do them. We better make sure this dude isn’t a pedo.
Huh. It seems like all of these GOP grifters/culture warriors don’t believe a single word that comes out of their own mouths. It’s almost as if they’re pandering to a special select group of Americans that possess very little in the way of critical thinking or even just basic thinking skills, and that group of Americans is keeping these sociopaths in power. The question then is, are we willing to only address the symptoms of a nation with the worst education system in the G7, or the root cause of all of this buffoonery? I’m saying the root cause of most of America’s woes is bad education.
I think you mean, “Drag queens caught partying with GOP candidate who called them pedophiles.”
Likely he believes his open propaganda and was hoping to hangout with pedos.
His?
Her?
?
Valentina Gomez is a woman.
I read her name wrong lol
Do drag queens know everyone who comes at the club/venue they’re performing?
The point of the comment wasn’t to blame the drag queens. It was to reverse the implicit shame of being, “caught,” that’s in the title, giving the connotation that it’s shameful or embarrassing to associate with the GOP candidate, not the other way around. It was just a little quip that I’m sure I’ve made much funnier with this explanation.
I didn’t even catch it until you explained lol, the explanation did actually make it funnier for me
Well, take that, established rules of comedy!
…The previous sentence was a reference to common idiom, “If you have to explain the joke, then it’s not funny,” while the current sentence is an example of irony. Here, I am not using irony as it’s colloquially used, which could best be described as a funny coincidence, but rather by its literally definition of, “the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention.” While the literal intention of my words is an explanation of my first and second sentences, the non-literal intention is a continuation of the premise that I am over-explaining my own jokes, thereby using irony to create what some would call a, “meta,” joke.
I’m enjoying this as well. I may be broken.
The irony of this.
Nah, Just run of the mill Republican Hypocrisy.
Like the Anti-Gay pastor that was caught taking a rent boy on an all expenses paid european vacation.
or the anti-gay senator caught trying to proposition a guy in an airport bathroom
or any other anti-whatever republican inevitably being involved/doing/being what they are against.
Does she really think drag shows involve showing genitals?
Tbh I never seen a lgbtq person who was a pdf file ever in my life only once
Oh it happens. We as a community aren’t all angels. Some of us get very VERY warped by religious or cultural trauma where because the base assumption is that we are monsters already by virtue of being something shameful there is a lowered boundary to other shamed behaviours…
But what stops that shame spiral is normalizing queer identities and creating good community with good praxis. Consent is king in so many queer spaces where I am because we’ve all basically had to imbibe the lessons of therapy to rescue people out of the dark. We discuss gold standards of sexual health and behaviour and conduct with frankness and lack of shame because generations of us were abandoned to places where we were vulnerable to exploitation. To become a pdf file is to lose your community as nothing is so disgusting to people in queer spaces as someone who would cause that kind of damage as it is expected that you know exactly what the knock on effects of that act are.
I’ve yet to as well. It is my community so biased perspective but I have met soooo many queers with odd kinks and not a single one is into kids. Many were abused themselves as kids (not always sexually but still) and have no interest in repeating that on anyone else.
I’m sure someone can send you some gay porn in a PDF if you really want them to.
💀😭
