"JD Vance has the face of a man caught between eras. He looks like he wants to segregate a My Chemical Romance concert."

I'm convinced that JD Vance is gender queer. Not saying this as an insult, I am one too, but this dude clearly has something going on. I just point it out because it's funny watching the republican party support him and not having a clue.

In his book he told his grandma he thought he was gay ...

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."

I believe there's a possibility Vance is trans or gay, but I'm not a fan of that passage being used as evidence.

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think it's more of an example of JD coming out against a group of people who at one point in time he thought he might be a part of. I think using it to show his hypocritical stance swings is ok, but I agree that one passage in a book shouldn't be considered evidence of him being "out". And I don't believe in "outing" people either, but this passage was put out by him, and I shared it for the reason I just previously stated.

[–] Atrichum@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I don't know the wider context of that passage but to me it's self evident that it's just an innocent child trying to understand what adults are talking about. It says more about his grandmother than him.

Well, didn't know that but it sure does help support my theory

He could care less

That means he does care... at least a little.

No, JD Vance has the face of a feral human stranded on an island for wayward kitties. Watched this episode of Metalocalypse immediately before the debate and it made the whole thing far more enjoyable
