A Republican Councilman from Indiana, Ryan Webb, announced he will now identify as a “woman of color.”
He said: “After much consideration I have decided to come out and finally feel comfortable announcing my true authentic self. 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. 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. Until today we didn’t have any females of color or LGBTQIAPC+++ on the council. I’m glad that now we do!
“To avoid confusion, everyone can continue to address me as Ryan or as Councilman Webb. I will also retain my my preferred pronouns of He/Him, however, this will in no way diminish my true identity as a woman of color.
“I’m excited to be a vocal partner of the LGBTQIAPC+++ movement. Who knows just how far we can take things, but I’m just glad that this is now possible so ANYONE can be ANYTHING or ANYONE they want.
“God bless America!
“*edit*
“It has come to my attention that I am more than likely the very first lesbian woman of color in the history of Delaware County to ever serve on the Delaware county council. I am honored to be the one to shatter that glass ceiling.”
The backlash was immediate. Webb told WISH TV8 that his family has been receiving threats since he made the Facebook post in the middle of April. He said:
“Our family has been receiving violent threats throughout the day from intolerant liberals who refuse to accept my decision to live my life however I choose. I don’t really see how an interview will improve the situation.
“It is unfortunate, but a group called Indiana Progressives has decided to organize a hate and harassment campaign against me and my family by publishing my address and encouraging people to unlawfully congregate at my home. You can read their comments on my public post.
“I have to look out for the safety of my family, including our 6 children. There are people with serious mental health issues encouraging people who are unwelcome to come to my home, so I think it’s best to politely decline your on-camera interview.
“It is unfortunate that I cannot simply be given the same space and respect to explore my identity that so many of those targeting me demand for themselves.
“I have announced my position and that has not changed. I do not need anyone to approve or validate who I am for me to live my life the way I choose. I don’t feel like an on-camera interview is necessary or warranted. I’m simply living my life without concern for what others may think about my own personal decisions.
“I have recently decided to live my life however I choose to identify which happens to be as a woman of color. My American Indian heritage is not up for debate, although many would like it to be. It’s possible I may change my mind down the road. The process of identity exploration is complex and often times at the end of our personal journey we end right back where we started.
“I hope that in the future those asking for tolerance and understanding are willing to give it in return and not just to those who they feel is worthy of it. Nobody has the authority to validate or invalidate any individual who chooses to identify a certain way.”
“they are severely mentally ill,”
I figure only about 10% are mentally ill, and 5% are severely mentally ill. For the rest, Satan has taken over their lives. People don’t, all of a sudden, become mentally ill over a six- or twelve-month period — en masse.
LOL! Perfect. I’m surprised he didn’t think of that. Except that when he left office this evil fad hadn’t become a big deal.
Good going...love it...👍
Fighting the ridiculousby being ridiculous.
Rush would be proud.
And if any woketards or libtards object, they're just exhibiting hateful pronounism.
He (she/her) did in his initial announcement.
Funny you say that. I’ve been saying recently that demonic influences are a likely explanation for much of what I see happening in the world. And I say that as someone who has basically been a lifelong agnostic, which is a strange place to be.
The other day, before knee surgery, I thought about telling the nurse I felt like a penguin just to see what they said.
Probably would have woke up in the nut house.
This man is a God Level Troll.

They did think of it first.
They are just angry to find that turnabout is, indeed, fair play.
“Democrats Furious after GOP Councilman Comes Out as ‘Woman of Color’”
HORRIBLE to see this treatment of her. This woman finally comes clean that she is not really a man, nor white, but was born into a white-male shell, from which she cannot escape.
Only a person with INCREDIBLE COURAGE would take the huge risk of telling the world just who she is...knowing that she would then have to endure nothing but ridicule.
It’s time that everyone become MORE TOLERANT of people like her, rather than simply living their demented ‘binary’ world.
Nice! I absolutely loathe that expression!
Next thing we know, he will come out as a Doberman. Where do these fools come from?
Heck, The Babylon Bee could not top this.
‘I’ve been saying recently that demonic influences are a likely explanation for much of what I see happening in the world.’
supernatural entities, devils, demons, elves, pixies, imps and the like, are the result of overheated imaginations and have no influence whatsoever on real world events...what does impact them are flows of money, between corporations, mass media and governments...
right now, it pays to celebrate the victim groups; twenty years from now, who knows...
Go see the movie Nefarious, that is currently out. It is an awesome movie, that touches on the evil that surrounds us in the current day. And it is written from a conservative viewpoint. Definitely not woke like so much of Hollywood these days.
Currently has a 97% like on Rotten Tomatoes by regulars. Movie critics are giving it a 30%. One of the biggest normals/pros differential in viewpoint on the site's history. If that gives you a clue on how this movie hits home.

My brother calls it “the street sweeper”
I loathe it too, so much so that I have to fight the urge to smash anyone using it.

A new trend may have started just think of all the federal funding at hand.
