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.”
Well, they are severely mentally ill, and no one appears to be addressing that these days. So that last should not be surprising.
Stunning and brave....how dare they challenge her truth.

Thank goodness he is Republican! (sarc.)
Webb has the arguments and patter down cold!
LOL! This is awesome.
I know they’re mad and all but what can they say? Its their own “logic”.
Thats just too damn funny...
Suck it, progs!
Good for him! [her, it, whatever...]
I agree. He should have used the pronouns. The lawsuit money could be donated to her favorite conservative charity. Lol.
DJT should have came out identifying as a woman before he left office. First woman president. Play their game and watch their intolerant fascist heads spin right off their shoulders.
Gotta admit, this tranny still has balls! 🤣
Ha ha. Great question.
How about a black woman like this guy did? First black woman president. 🤗😆😀
Use democrat weapons against them.
The rodents are furious because they wanted him to come out as a lesbian of color.
An obvious and transparent ploy. But those who engage in obvious and transparent ploys in earnest hate it when the tables are turned on them in jest.
As Hamlet said of poor Yorick, “a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy”.
At first I thought this was The Bee.
Good job, Councilman!
“They” make up the rules, but when we play by their rules they can’t take it.
“I’ll bet they are just mad that they didn’t think of it first.”
Actually, they invented it. LOL!
He’s taking their big ol’ Alinsky stick and is shoving it right back up the lefties’ gumpers.
“EVERYONE who is in a position to influence their company, school, etc. should do this, “
True. It there isn’t an onslaught, it won’t work very well. Bury those lib freaks so deep in their own crap that they won’t know what to do.
