A white Republican councilman in Indiana has sparked outrage after jokingly declaring himself a lesbian woman of color in a Facebook post made earlier this month.

Delaware County Councilman Ryan Webb wrote that he considers himself an Indian American woman, saying he finally feels comfortable sharing his 'true authentic self' - but many have not played into the farce.

'It is with great relief that I announce to everyone that I identify as a woman and not just any woman but as a woman of color as well. I guess this would make me gay/lesbian as well, since I am attracted to women,' he wrote in a post.

The announcement sparked outrage from people calling Webb 'pathetic' and for his perceived mockery of LGBT groups as well as marginalized groups.

'His words not only embarrass himself, but you, the county council,' said Charlize Jamieson, a transgender resident. Other members have now called him out for inciting hate against transgender people - and demanded his resignation.

Webb, a staunch Republican, first shared his 'true self' with the world on April 12.

'Whew, that felt good to finally get that out there and start living life as my true self. I'm excited to bring some diversity to the county council,' he wrote.

'Until today we didn't have any females of color or LGBTQIAPC+++ on the council. I'm glad that now we do!' he continued.

Webb wrote that he will still go by 'Ryan' or 'Councilman Webb' and keep his pronouns to be 'he/him.'

That, however 'will in no way diminish my true identity as a woman of color,' he said.

Who are they to not take this at face value like they demand we do?

Exactly! If they suddenly start demanding that people somehow "demonstrate" or "prove" that they are what they claim they are (of a different race or even species) and/or that they are not simply "pretending" or are "insincere" in their claims, then we are then justified in immediately doing the same, and to demand that they prove that they are who they claim to be!

And, I'm sorry, but: I strongly suspect that I will then continue saying, "Nope, not good enough! You've got to be joking! Am not convinced!" until they are blue in the face.

inciting hate against transgender people

So how do they know he is not?

Because he's a Republican and only Dems can.

Alinsky recommended ridicule. Leftists leapt at it as a strategy, but as the game was taken up by conservatives, they were shocked to themselves ridiculed. Sauce for the goose....
