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.

‘Lady MAGA’ Drag Queen Showed Up At CPAC And The Trump Faithful Embraced Her

For the past few months, we’ve been hearing from conservative Republicans how terrible drag performers are, especially if (gasp!) a child happens to see one of them and start asking questions.

And yet, a great gathering of conservative asshats was held over the weekend in Maryland, a drag queen was in attendance, and it was all perfectly copacetic with the MAGA faithful.

Lady MAGA (a.k.a. Ryan Woods) showed up for the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conclave that featured a keynote address from failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, and was welcomed by those in attendance, according to Patriot Takes.

Woods used to work for Delta Air Lines, but he was fired a day after the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. At the time, he noted:

“I feel it is obvious they began their investigation he day after the riots while it was socially acceptable to target Trump supporters and claim we’re dangerous. They said my photos with patriots holding guns – way back in November – violated their social media policies. They don’t police other flight attendants’ social media. I feel that I was clearly targeted for my conservative views and support of Trump.”

And yet, right-wingers have been saying in recent months that men dressed as women is somehow a direct threat to every child in the country and to the republic.

In December of last year, Amanda Marcotte of Salon explained why she believes conservatives are apoplectic about men wearing women’s clothes:

Drag, probably more than any other cultural artifact of American life, exposes how much of femininity — and how much of gender overall — is socially constructed. The whole point of drag is to celebrate how much you did not wake up like this. The exaggeration of drag draws attention to the lesser, but still time-consuming, effort that everyday women and other femme-presenting people put into performing their identity. As feminist writer Simone de Beauvoir wrote in 1949, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.” Drag, like Beyoncé, takes that concept out of the lofty world of academic theory and makes it part of the pop culture understanding of gender. 

I have my own theory, and it involves the deep-seated homophobia that conservatives harbor in an attempt to hide their feelings of attraction to members of their own sex.

Twitter users also had some thoughts on the fact that Lady MAGA wasn’t shown the exit.

Multiple CPAC Speakers Proudly Proclaim They Want To ‘Eradicate’ Trans Americans

For a party that claims to believe in limited government, Republicans who spoke at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) this weekend were creepily focused (even downright obsessed) with the idea that some Americans are transgender, with one speaker even calling for the complete eradication of trans Americans.

HuffPost notes that the assault on trans people began with former Trump administration adviser Sebastian Gorka, who told attendees that the idea of transgenderism is “insanity.”

Gorka … kicked off proceedings Friday morning from the main stage inside the Gaylord Convention Center. Democrats, he warned the crowd, are “mutilating boys and girls” and “sacrificing them on the altar of their transgender insanity.”

He was followed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-GA), who happily announced:

“So last Congress, I did something radical and extreme because remember Marjorie Taylor Greene, ‘she’s so extreme.’ I introduced a bill called the Protect Children’s Innocence Act. And let me tell you my great news this morning, ladies and gentlemen: It couldn’t pass last Congress because Nancy Pelosi was the speaker of the House. She doesn’t believe in gender at all, but we have a new speaker in our Republican majority… and I’m going to be re-introducing my bill… that will make it a felony to perform anything to do with gender!”

But it was right-wing radio host Michael Knowles who sounded every bit like a budding Nazi in Germany circa the 1930s, demanding that the idea of transgenderism be “eradicated from public life entirely.”

“The problem with transgenderism is not that it’s inappropriate for children under the age of 9. The problem with transgenderism is that it isn’t true.

“If [transgenderism] is false, then for the good of society… transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”

Eradicating. The very idea would make Joseph Goebbels giddy with delight.

Just because someone is different doesn’t it make it right to hate them. If this is truly what the GOP stands for, then the entire party needs to be pulled up like a weed and banned from the American political realm.

GED Queen Lauren Boebert Gets Flayed Online After Complaining About LGBTQ Teachers

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is a bigoted sack of shit. It’s really that simple.

Need proof? Consider:

In July of last year, Boebert said the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade was no big deal for LGBTQ Americans because they can’t have children, remarking:

“I’m sorry, but if you’re not able to have a child, how does [the repeal of Roe vs. Wade] actually impact you?”

And in November, in the wake of a mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Boebert tried to express sympathy for the same people she had previously accused of “grooming” children.

“The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful. This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers. This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly.”

Now Bobo is attacking LGBTQ teachers. Why? Because she’s a intolerant asshat.

“Growing up, I don’t recall teachers announcing their marital status & pronouns to everyone.

“They’re there to educate.

How is this still a complaint of the Left?”

That was all it took for Twitter to hit Boebert with a massive dose of internet karma.
