GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene Attacks Pete Buttigieg   “He can’t stay out of our girls’ bathrooms.”

Homophobia was on full display yesterday from the most-bigoted Republican white trash member on Congress Marjorie Taylor Greene used her time at a Trump rally to attack the Transportation Secretary  Pete Buttigieg  and personally attack a college student from Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Greene (R-Geo.) went full on homophobic on Saturday for some reason demanded that Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten, both gay men “stay out of our girls’ bathrooms.”

Congresswoman Greene — also a full-time online troll who has appeared on the white-nationalist gathering speaker’s circuit — also told her home-state audience.

After the 2022 midterms, she said “You’re going to see a new Republican Party — a Republican Party that defends our nation’s borders, a Republican Party that finishes the wall, a Republican Party that saves this economy and stops this inflation [and] ridiculously high gas prices.” Greene then promised, “We’re going to drill oil right here in the U.S.A.” (Fact Check: America is already the worlds #1 oil producing countries)

Then she criticized Buttigieg, who has encouraged the use of public transportation and electric vehicles that were funded through President Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure law passed last year.

“And you know what?” Greene said, “Pete Buttigieg can take his electric vehicles and his bicycles and he and his husband can stay out of our girls’ bathrooms.”

“Tucker Carlson brutally mocked Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as an unqualified “kid” who “breastfeeds,” and has no business running the agency. The crack was part of a broader monologue the ridiculed the idea that social and racial equity has a critical role to play in rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure.. After presenting the sorry state of public infrastructure in the United States, the Fox News host explained that Joe Biden should have appointed a “competent” person to be transportation secretary. He added, cackling, “This guy, who literally couldn’t fix the potholes in South Bend, Indiana, is now the transportation secretary. But he breastfeeds so it’s equity! It’s unbelievable!”

Besides the fact that TucKKKer Carlson has no right to lecture anyone on manliness. (Just like Josh Hee-Hawley) So let’s instead talk about Tucker\s support for Russian aggression in the Ukraine. Let’s talk about his pal, the crook who runs Hungary. Let’s talk about the fact no one would know who this little dick is except for his Swanson relations. He isn’t funny or smart. He is a traitor and prick.

Richard Grenell the former appointed acting director of national intelligence (DNI) by Donald Trump took to Twitter yesterday to show the world what a petty stupid queen she is when she attempted to throw shade at Mayor Pete Buttigieg the first openly gay man to receive Congressional approval for his appointment to his new position of Secretary of Transportation.

Needless to say LGBT and straight ally Twitter was not having any of it.

Sources Claim Pete Buttigieg Is Under Consideration for Ambassador to China Post

Axios is reporting that sources close to them are saying that President-elect Joe Biden is considering a ambassadorship to China for Pete Buttigieg instead of a much deserved cabinet position.

Axios also reports that initial conversations over leading the Department of Veterans Affairs didn’t firm up, while Buttigieg’s name is still mentioned among those under consideration for other domestic posts, including Transportation or Commerce. But its being said that finding a Cabinet post for Buttigieg has been a challenge for Biden because he has been focused on nominating women and people of color to high-level posts which is creating a concern among many that Buttigieg could be left out of the Biden administration’s starting lineup altogether.

Buttigieg was the first openly gay Democratic Presidential candidate winning the most delegates in the Iowa caucuses earlier this year before dropping out to consolidate moderates’ support around Biden who he campaigned for tirelessly up until the November election.

IF Buttigieg does go to China, he would be following in the footsteps of former president George HW Bush, who was appointed to the liaison office in Beijing by the Ford administration in 1974, before the two countries had established formal diplomatic ties

Joe Biden Begins Naming Members of his Cabinet. Where’s Pete?

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , ,

Democratic President-elect Joe Biden will begin naming members of his Cabinet this week. But so far of all the names which have been thrown around one has been conspicuously missing. That of Pete Buttigieg who ran a historic campaign as an openly gay man and dropped out of the race to help support Biden my campaigning fiercely for him across the country and even on FOX News.

So far sources close to Biden say Anthony Blinken a longtime Biden confidant who served as No. 2 at the State Department and as deputy national security adviser in President Barack Obama’s administration, in which Biden served as vice president will be named Secretary of State.

Jack Sullivan who served as Biden’s national security adviser during the Obama administration is rumored to be announced as Biden’s National Security Advisor.

One post that Pete himself expressed interest in is the job of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. But media outlets reported Sunday, citing Democratic sources close to Biden that Linda Thomas-Greenfield – Thomas-Greenfield a black woman who served as Obama’s top diplomat on Africa from 2013 to 2017 is the front-runner for the position.

According to the latest Reuters article Pete isn’t a top contender for any key cabinet positions.

On Saturday, Politico published a story naming front-runners for each cabinet post, based on “dozens of conversations with Biden aides, his close allies, lobbyists and Hill staff.” The article names Buttigieg as Biden’s most likely nominee for Secretary of Veteran Affairs a position established in 1988 one of the most minor cabinet position. But even this is still not a sure thing.

After all that Pete Buttigieg did for Joe Biden will he be given a minor position in his cabinet or will be left in the dust a victim of the Democratic party?

Only the next few weeks will tell.

Elizabeth Warren Kills Her Own Election Purity Test, Will Now Accept Super PAC Money

Elizabeth Warren Kills Her Own Election Purity Test, Will Now Accept Super PAC Money

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, Of Interest, , , , ,

Via CNBC:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren reversed her position on rejecting super PAC support as she seeks a comeback in the Democratic presidential primary. Warren, who has previously said that she would disavow the support of a super PAC that sought to aid her bid for the presidency, told reporters that she had changed her mind after failing to get her rivals to join her in repudiating the outside spending groups.

The reversal is a dramatic change of heart for the Massachusetts progressive. Warren boasted during the Democratic debate earlier this month that only she and Sen. Amy Klobuchar lacked super PAC backers. “So look, the first day I got in this race over a year ago, I said I hope every presidential candidate who comes in will agree – no super PACs for any of us. I renewed that call dozens of times,” Warren said. “And I couldn’t get a single Democrat to go along with it.”

Looks like someone owes Mayor Pete an apology.

WHAT A MAROON - Donald Trump Testifies That He Fears “Dangerous Fruit” 

Rush Limbaugh Says Trump Called Him And Said To “Never Apologize” For His Homophobic Comments About Pete Buttigieg

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , , ,

Via The Daily Beast:

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday addressed the controversy over his homophobic attacks on Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, revealing that President Donald Trump called him and advised him to “never apologize” for the remarks.

On the Tuesday edition of his radio show, the right-wing talker insisted that he was entirely unaware of the firestorm his remarks had created—until the president checked in to see how his treatment for lung cancer was going.

“So, he called back, and he said ‘Rush, I just got to tell you something. Never apologize, don’t ever—’ and I said, ‘For what?’” Limbaugh noted.

“Well, I had no idea this thing had even bubbled up, you know? I’m doing the medical thing that I have to do here. And I wasn’t even aware of this.”

Yes Rush never apologize. just go to your grave an unrepentant douchebag and not care what hateful garbage you left behind.

As for Donald Trump. No one loves you. They merely hate alongside you.

Have a nice day.

‘Queers Against Pete’ Activists Attempt To Disrupt Buttigieg Event in San Francisco, Drowned Out By Supporters - VIDEO

‘Queers Against Pete’ Activists Attempt To Disrupt Buttigieg Event in San Francisco, Drowned Out By Supporters – VIDEO

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , , ,

A pair of activists representing the LGBT separatist group “Queers Against Pete” were ejected after attempting to disrupt a Buttigieg campaign event in San Francisco.

The activists were part of a group of protesting outside the event which disturbed many of those attending.

The protesters say that they have the same issues that members of the “queer community” are using against the openly gay candidate. Buttigieg’s unwillingness to support Medicare for All, free college for all (although Buttigieg does support free college tuition and help for those who cannot afford it) , his issues with communities of color, and his ties to billionaire donors.

“We need better, we deserve better,” Adiel Pollydore, a 26-year-old program director with Student Action who is black and queer. “The people who disrupted that fundraiser were all queer people of color,” Pollydore said. “We’re allowed to want the gay candidate who is running to do better and be better for queer communities of color. There’s nothing homophobic about that.

“Pete Buttigieg represents a very small percentage of the experiences of queer and trans people in this country, being white and being cisgender and being a man, being someone who is highly educated,” Pollydore said. “We know queer and trans folks of color, especially black queer and trans folks, live at the intersection of so many systems of oppression in this country. This run for president could have been a really unique opportunity to lift up those experiences and talk about all the different ways we are criminalized and our safety is constantly threatened and we are shut out of institutions on the regular. But this campaign has not been about that ”

The group has no plans to protest any of the other candidates who do not agree with their tenants.

A recent study preformed by the prestigious Williams Institute found that only 6 percent of the LGBT community identify as queer, 50 percent identify as lesbian/gay, 41 percent identify as bisexual, and 7 percent use another sexual minority identity (e.g., pansexual).

*NOTE: Adiel Pollydore and Celi Tamayo-Lee who organized the protest are both Bernie Sanders supporters
