I am a very awful person to say this but am I the only one who has a problem with a “fairy princess” as first lady?

No, but my understanding is that Butts was the "fairy princess" and his partner would be "first dude."

LGBQ = mentally ill.

There is no such thing as homophobia - it should be called homodiscustis.

What hurt Buttigieg the most was his condescending, snarky smirk

You said it better than I did, and I agree also with your Fed remarks. Fake money, fake candidates, fake markets, fake “patriots”. Everything today is fake and are done under false pretenses.

I’m all for it. But wouldn’t it trigger the pud-pullers?

True...I made crude jokes about his sexuality. But, if he’d espoused Trump’s beliefs and policies, I’d be 100% behind him.

Wouldn’t “homodislikea” or possibly “homodisgustia” be more accourate?

Didn’t take long for some media bum to come up with this explanation of why a mayor didn’t get to be president.

Political correctness confuses homophobia with the shuddering reflex.

There’s no ‘phobia’ about it... It’s just that homosexual is abhorrent to nature and should not be actively promoted.

Why do they call it “homoPHOBIA”? A phobia is a fear. They’re just disgusting human beings.
