MERRY CHRISTMAS, HATERS! MAGA loons have their homophobic panties in a bunch after First Lady Jill Biden enlisted the services of an inclusive dance troop to perform Tchaikovsky’s musical masterpiece “The Nutcracker Suite” for a White House Christmas video.
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
As usual, the right-wing trolls are silent about their beloved GQP/Rethug party’s attempts to cram anti-LGBTQ provisions in the most recent defense bill. They aren’t going to protest the bloated defense bill in the first place, but they can’t even bring themselves to criticize how their party shows every chance it can that it detests them and wants to strip away their rights.
Speaking of Melania, does anyone else remember how her husband, Don the Con, promised that we’d see her immigration papers and how her “process” unfolded, because there were lots of questions about how she ended up with that genius visa? We never saw any of the documentation Don the Con promised he’d show, proving that he was engaging in yet another con, but given the murkiness around her immigration process, should Melania really be on stage publicly ragging about the process?
Uh, yeahhh. I support banning gender-affirming care for service members. We’re on the precipice of WW3. To weaken our defenses for someone’s two-decade long journey to try and attempt to pass as the opposite sex? We have bigger fish to fry with China and Russia, thank you. Gender-affirming care for kids? It’s straight-up child abuse as we see with the rising detrans lawsuits from former trans kids. Funding for drag shows? Again, see earlier readiness comments for the edge of WW3. Under what delusion do you think people like me (an independent voter recently hired by the Koch Brothers canvassing outfit to canvass for Nikki Haley and Marsha Blackburn in Tennessee) would be aghast at this? It’s why I wake up in the morning and do what I do as a former ‘member’ of the LGBT ‘community’. It’s laughable that you would think otherwise.

Dorrance Dance can pick and choose whoever they want to be in their troupe, but to call them “inclusive” is incorrect.
dwick
why?

They ARE inclusive. They have people of all races and genders involved. Look it up.
They’re not running around in Klan hoods or screaming about immigrants “poisoning” America, but they’re inclusive, that’s for sure!
dbmcvey
Only if you don’t know what “inclusive” means.
