Walmart Gives Anti-Pride Activists The Middle Finger – Refuses To Pull LGBTQ Merchandise

After anti-LBGTQ bigots started boycotts of Bud Light, Kohl’s, and Target for daring to express their support for LGBTQ equality and Pride Month, many other corporations were worried they might be next.

But the largest retailer in the country, Walmart, is making it clear they won’t be intimidated by bigots and homophobes, letting the world know they will not be pulling any of their Pride Month merchandise for anyone and no matter the consequences.

Yes, Walmart.

Reuters reports that Walmart isn’t about to be intimidated and isn’t making any concessions to bullies.

Walmart on Wednesday said it has not made any changes to its LGBTQ-related merchandise tied to Pride Month, or to security measures in place at its stores, a week after rival Target pulled some LGBTQ-themed products following customer backlash.

“We haven’t changed anything in our assortment,” Latriece Watkins, Walmart’s chief merchandising officer, said.

And if you’re thinking that Walmart doesn’t have to change anything because they don’t offer much in the way of LGBTQ merchandise, consider that they carry “rainbow-adorned flags, clothing and accessories. Its ‘Pride & Joy’ collection includes a $7.98 set of enamel pins with messages such as ‘Be you. Be Proud.’ and ‘You are enough.'”

Watkins also noted that there has been no need to increase security at its stores, many of which are located in deeply red states.

“In this particular case, when we think about security … we have not done anything in particular differently related to security in our stores.”

Online reaction to Walmart’s hardline stance has been muted, and there have been almost no calls for a boycott of the retailer. Kind of makes you wonder why the haters have chosen to exclude Walmart.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Her Boyfriend After He Gets Busted Dressing In Women’s Clothes

Ever since she arrived in Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has made it clear that she is a proud bigot when it comes to the issue of equal rights for LGBTQ Americans, even going to far as to suggest that members of the LGBTQ community are trying to “groom” young children so they can sexually exploit them.

But today karma caught up with the controversial Georgia Republican in the form of a video being distributed on social media which shows her current boyfriend, Brian Glenn, who works as director of programming at Right Side Broadcasting, dressed in drag as part of a news broadcast he did several years ago, according to Newsweek.

Sharing the clip, which is captioned “A Tuna Christmas to open at Casa Manana,” Greene said Glenn had dressed as a woman “for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production.”

Greene reacted to the video by attacking those who had shared it, but she clearly didn’t understand her own blatant hypocrisy, writing:

I’m literally lol’ing.

@brianglenntv dressed in drag for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production and the morons over at Patriot Takes think this is an attack. Brian loves the throwback and is reposting.

😂

The left is so stupid.

Reaction to the video and to Greene’s pathetic attempt to dismiss it was righteously harsh and hilarious.

Megyn Kelly’s Controversial Red Cap Blows Up The Internet And Gets Her Labeled A Bigot

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly — who currently does a podcast on SiriusXM radio — became the talk of the internet due to a red baseball cap she wore in a photo taken with a friend of hers in Miami.

According to Mediaite, Kelly tweeted out this message:

“Thank you for a HUGE week on the ⁦@MegynKellyShow⁩. In Miami celebrating our friend’s 50th & looking fwd to another great week of shows starting Monday,” she wrote above the image. Kelly’s hat, red with white lettering, had the words “Make Women Female Again.”

After getting lots of replies asking Kelly where she had gotten the cap, she replied.

Posie Parker is the pseudonym of Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, a notorious anti-trans crusader. An anti-trans rally held by Parker in Melbourne in March was attended by neo-Nazis who raised their arms in Nazi salutes:

The Victorian government said it was open to looking at further action against the display of hate symbols after a group of protesters performed Nazi salutes outside parliament on Saturday. Clashes broke out on Saturday between rival protest groups on the steps of Victoria’s parliament after a group of men performed Nazi salutes. The men had gathered in support of British anti-transgender activist Posie Parker.

Kelly’s tweet has since gone viral, with over 1.3 million views, and while right-wingers were delighted by her cap, many others were not so impressed.

Here’s a sampling of Kelly’s brainless podcast with her whining about the firing of Tucker Carlson:

MT Greene Owns Herself After Saying She Dumped Bud For Coors Due To Bud’s Pro-LGBTQ Stance

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene thought she had the perfect way to troll Anheuser-Busch, makers of Bud Light, for their partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.

According to Newsweek:

Calls to boycott Bud Light started after transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney revealed the beer brand had sent her a unique can of beer with her face on it. The company gifted her the personalized can to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the TikToker’s gender transition.

The can “was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public,” according to Anheuser-Busch, the company that owns Bud Light.

Anheuser-Busch later explained that it “works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics. From time to time we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney.”

No big deal, right? Well, it is if you’re a right-wing nutjob like Greene or others on the extreme right who felt the need to publicly announce they would no longer have anything to do with the beer giant.

Here’s what Greene posted Saturday on Twitter:

“I would have bought the king of beers, but it changed it’s gender to the queen of beers. So it’s made to chill from here on out.”

However, if Greene had bothered to do a simple Google search, she would have found this:

Thanks to support from companies such as Molson Coors, Denver PrideFest has become the largest celebration of LGBTQ pride in the Rocky Mountain region. Though its format will be different because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Coors Light Denver Virtual Pride Parade will be a compilation of fun-filled virtual parade “units” submitted by community businesses and organizations that will be livestreamed as a “parade” with live commentary.

“Coors Light has been a sponsor of The Center and Denver PrideFest for decades,” says Rex Fuller, CEO of The Center on Colfax. “The work we have been able to do at The Center over the last four decades would not be possible without this support and we are grateful for it.”

In other words, Greene managed to humiliate herself for the entire internet to enjoy, which it certainly did.

Chasten Buttigieg Has The Perfect Clapback To Mike Pence’s Homophobic ‘Joke’

If there’s one thing we know with absolute certainly about former Vice President Mike Pence, it’s that he’s a homophobic bigot who thinks nothing of condemning members of the LGBTQ community, even though they’re Americans and entitled to the same rights and privileges as everyone else in the United States.

So it should come as no surprise to anyone that Pence let loose with a disgusting “joke” aimed at Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, with HuffPost reporting:

Pence drew backlash after he cracked jokes on Saturday night at the Gridiron dinner for journalists in Washington, D.C., that Pete Buttigieg had taken “maternity leave” early in the Biden administration. Pointing to the flight and travel disruptions in recent months, he added that Buttigieg “is the only person in human history to have a child and everyone else gets postpartum depression.”

Buttigieg and his husband welcomed twins Gus and Penelope in September 2021. The Cabinet official took parental leave at the time to be with his newborns. The couple later revealed that the babies had overcome serious health struggles after contracting a respiratory virus. Gus was placed on a ventilator in a pediatric intensive care unit.

That led Chasten Buttigieg to respond via Twitter, and what he had to say in response to Pence was not only perfectly worded, it was also a stinging rebuke to the holier-than-thou fake Christian ex-VP.

“An honest question for you, @Mike_Pence, after your attempted joke this weekend. If your grandchild was born prematurely and placed on a ventilator at two months old – their tiny fingers wrapped around yours as the monitors beep in the background – where would you be?”

He added:

“I’ll leave this here for you should you want to know more about the kids you are so eager to use as a punchline.”

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also slammed Pence at Monday’s press briefing, telling reporters, “He should apologize to women and LGBTQ+ people.”

He should, but here’s betting he won’t, which proves that Mike Pence is a fake Christian who has so much hatred in his heart that he’s headed straight for hell.
