Rightwing broadcaster and YouTuber Candace Owens continues with her anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. On her show this week, she expressed bemusement at the idea gay people might want to hang out with other gay folk on vacation.
“What’s a gay cruise?” she asked, laughing. “When I book holidays, I’m not like ‘Hey, I want to go on a straight cruise’. Or ‘I want to go on a straight holiday’. Or ‘I want to go to a straight place in Antigua with my children.’ I’m wondering what the hell is a gay cruise.
“Why would you feel the need, if you’re in a gay relationship, right, to book a gay cruise? It seems like maybe other stuff goes on on this cruise.
“I’m going to assume—I don’t know—just guessing here—there’s a lot of orgies.”
It clearly hasn’t occurred to Owens that same-sex couples wish to hang out somewhere they can show affection to one another without fear of discrimination.
Of course, gay cruises do offer plenty of opportunities to meet romantic partners or hook-ups. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Throuple seek legal recognition as parents
Owens’ comments came during a monologue in which she blasted a gay male throuple who met whilst on a gay cruise. The Los Angeles-based men now share the parenthood of an adopted daughter and wish to all be legally recognized as her parents.
According to The Independent, “Ben Rolam, a director of sales and education, 37, and his long-term boyfriend, Mitch Rolam, a manager of account development, 37, always discussed bringing a third person into their relationship, and, after being together for 12 years, they found their perfect match, Benjamin Rolam, an entrepreneur, 35, on a gay cruise in 2018.”
The men share a social media account, @gaythrouple. They want to become only the second throuple in the US to all be legally recognized as the parents of a child.
Candace Owens blasts Lizzo
In the full episode of her show, Owens blasted the men for sharing “perversions”. She also welcomed the news of a Pride parade cancelation in Florida after the state implemented a drag-ban law. The legislation bans kids from adult performances, but also re-classifies drag as “adult” performance.
Owens also mocked Lizzo for performing in Tennessee with a collection of drag performers, calling the singer’s actions “absolutely disgusting.” She went on to say Lizzo deserved “a special place in Hell.”
If anyone was in any doubt Owens has made anti-LGBTQ+ hatred a core part of her brand, she also put another video out last week explaining “Why I Am Not an ‘Ally’ to the Gay Community.” In it, she lamented how “normal” gay people were back in the 1990s compared to now.
Owens clearly wants the majority of gay folk to go back into the closet like they were 30 years ago.

It seems Owens wants most of us to go back in the closet…

I will be generous here and call her WILDLY uninformed.

She’s got herself quite the nitch as a black women fighting for a piece of the rightwing media. 90% hate her for many of the same reasons. I’ve never met a trump loving maga that’s ever not racist at their core.
I guess money and fame are more important.

Agree! She is a very bad person.

RE: In it, she lamented how “normal” gay people were back in the 1990s compared to now.
Really?
I wonder if someone “lamented how ‘normal’ Negros were back in the 1950s compared to now” would she be equally as flippant. Probably.
If a member of one group that’s historically been discriminated against can be *THAT* mind-bogglingly tone deaf regarding another such group then she really is beyond hope.

And there were gay cruises in the ’90s.

Gay cruises are basically what she claimed they were. I know two gay couples who go on gay cruises and it’s for exactly that reason, fool around. Why are people on here pretending it’s not?
dbmcvey
Seriously, what’s wrong with you? You are Candace Owens.
PinkoOfTheGange
No one here is saying any different. So what are you going on about?
still_onthemark
Really? Why hasn’t Queerty told us about that before? I had no idea! That sounds hot!
boblrice
You should take your pearls and clutch them elsewhere.
Life is really short. If someone wants to go on a cruise for the orgies, God speed.

You love this homophobe the way this homophobe loves racists.

As someone who has been on a gay cruise, I can assure you that not everyone participates. Certainly the people I went with did not. What people do in their own private quarters is up to them. Are you saying orgies don’t exist for straight people? LOL. A few of my straight friends wife swap. That’s not something my partner and I partake in at all.

I have never in my life seen a person of color so desperate to be embraced by her oppressors.
And I was alive when Thomas was seated as a Supreme Court Judge, and lived through Ben Carson’s entire political career…

Candace drops to her knees every night praying to wake up white and blonde.
Mister P
I’m sure straight people go on cruises to hook up too. Gay men have not cornered the market on promiscuity.

AKA, Lifestyle Cruises.
PinkoOfTheGange
Gay cruises have been going on since the 90’s.
And yes the sexual tension is high, but it is easy to stay within your boundaries.

“Of course, gay cruises do offer plenty of opportunities to meet romantic partners or hook-ups.” For the record, this also goes on during “straight” cruises as well.
Candace Owens is an imbecile.

candace owens, just another stupid b idiot . Nothing more here, move on. No use wasting any more time on cooties like this that’re good for a few laughs at that making the rest of us think our problems although may be huge are miniscule in comparison

I would love to see her head go boom but there won’t be much of anything because the bitch’s head is empty. As for going to hell, you and the other ugly people like you will be there first and what an ugly piece of shit it is

I’m sorry… but what’s that hair do? It’s giving serious Johnny Depp Willie Wonka vibes. Lol. She a mess!

Candace and Marjorie and Erika Jayne need to go on a throuples cruise for gay cows.

“When I book holidays, I’m not like ‘Hey, I want to go on a straight cruise’. Or ‘I want to go on a straight holiday’.”
Unless she’s booking holidays to fire Island, this is a big fat lie. Like her hair. And her sexual identity.

She claims that “Trump is the Savior of Western Civilization”. Ironic that her genetic roots are not from this same Western Civilization, And she loves “White Lives Matter”, claims Climate Change is a hoax and that the murdered George Floyd “was not a good person”
She does this Crap to gather “Click Bait” bucks.
