He was asked by his Mamaw if he wanted to suck dicks. Unfortunately he was too weird to learn from Mamaw

"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."

Based Mamaw Vance. If only he was more like her.

The dude didn't convince himself he was gay. The dude convinced himself that he convinced himself he was gay. To keep it going, he is now trying to convince the public that he convinced himself. "If everyone believes it, it must be true." He is gay af because he not only remembered that experience, but wrote about it in a book.

To JD Vance:

Come on, bro. Just be gay. Like for real. You're wasting your life and your wife's life with the charade. Y'all could be having awesome sex instead of pretending. If you're still resistant, fine. Just try it once to prove you don't like it. It's just once. You'll probably cum too fast to get it over with and then you can say you didn't like it or take a 5 min break and do it again to make sure. Haha. Omg, that would be crazy, right?

Don't be exclusionary, he might be bi and only want dicks as a sometimes treat.

[–] Ravenson@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He is having awesome sex. I'm sure that Peter Thiel uses his throat goat regularly.

[–] Mammothmothman@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Please, Thiel has the whole GOP over a barrel.

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had to actually check that this was real. Mamaw seems like she was a decent person. What the fuck happened to him?

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He is just too weird to be decent

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think that's it, there's plenty of decent weirdos out there.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ah, you are mistaking cool weirdos with conservative weirdos

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 month ago

He’s probably that kind of weird and trying to act like it’s normal.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure, I guess my point is: Weird isn't the problem, lol

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You gotta get with the program friend. They are fucking weird and they don't like it when we say that

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Just seems unfair to weirdos to compare them to someone as awful as JD Vance I guess. Creepy seems like a better word but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There are people that are fine with being called weirdos. They don't care. They are fine with using it against the right. The right can't stand it. They fucking hate being called weird. So we call them weird

Edit: No one is comparing 'good weird' with 'bad weird'. The hipster from Oregon is not the same as a hypocritical bigoted pedophile. Two totally different kinds of weird easily distinguished using the context of who they are describing
