He is so weird. He used to be gay, but now he isn’t. Like some sort of chameleon or something
“I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
“JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”
“Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”
He is so weird. He used to be gay, but now he isn’t.
It sounds like he was questioning his own identity, like many children that age do when they are surrounded by influential and outspoken adults. I don’t see how or why that would be considered “weird”. Trying to turn it into an attack line actually seems quite homophobic.
He saw some fucking preacher on TV. He had no idea what gay was. He was questioning hell, not his sexuality. I don’t think most 8 or 9 year old boys are trying to figure out their sexual identity. This is about him being an idiot, most likely a liar, and a hypocritical bigot. I don’t give a fuck if he sucks dick or not. I happen to be gay myself. This is about saying Kamala ‘changed races.’ This is about Mamaw saying it is ok to suck dicks. It’s not weird to be gay, or think you could be gay. It’s weird to talk about sucking dicks with Mamaw and then becoming a piece of shit after she tells you god would still love you. He is not preaching the same message Mamaw tried to pass on. What a fucking weirdo
Edit: I forgot the most important part. It’s fucking funny
Wait… Did I sleep through the election? What month is this?
Wierd how the pissy lil removed forgot the Republicans torpedoed an gross immigration bill because Trump who was in no elected position stopped the bill. Republicans get to own their terrible policy, immigration and the weird orange shit gibbon
