You may remember Chadwick Moore, the gay writer who penned OUT‘s much-ballyhooed Milo Yiannopoulos profile, and later “came out” as conservative in the face of the backlash. He certainly hopes you do.
No stranger to FOX News, Moore was recently invited back to once again talk with Tucker Carlson. (Back in February, Carlson described Moore as someone “who has done just about the bravest thing a gay Brooklyn journalist can do: he abandoned trendy lifestyle liberalism for something else.”)

This time, Moore was brought on the show to discuss a vigil that took place at Stonewall Inn to remember the 49 people killed in the Pulse massacre, which was organized by Gays Against Guns. The invitation described the event as
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“a solemn and joyfully defiant experience as we remember the tragedy that brought the fight for gun violence prevention directly into our LGBTQ nightlife community. on the one-year anniversary of the Pulse massacre in Orlando, in which Omar Mateen murdered 49 people.”
The event itself reflects a general shift in how the LGBTQ community is choosing to congregate following Trump’s election, using the vigil as a way to protest Trump’s regime in the same way this year’s Pride parades are more akin to resistance marches than outright celebrations.
Chadwick Moore, who attended the vigil, was invited to FOX to discuss this change.
“So Chadwick,” Carlson begins, “this was supposed to be a vigil for the people who die, almost 50 who died in that massacre, but it became something else?”
Moore responded:
“That’s right. I think most people showed up, the Stonewall is sort of gay, it’s a gay holy site, right. It’s the equivalent of Mecca for Muslims. It’s where everyone goes when there’s a large event that has affected the community, whether that’s tragic or celebratory. It’s where people would have instinctively shown up to commemorate the one-year anniversary. What happened is this far left anti-gun group essentially got the permit, I’m assuming, to hold a rally that day, outside, yesterday outside of Stonewall. They were the sponsors of this event. So people who were coming to mourn, who were coming to be together to reflect, who wanted to give politics a break instead were being subjected to this sort of anti-gun propaganda, all of these signs, all of this anti-Trumpism.
Later on, Moore insinuates “most gay people” have absolutely no interest in gun rights and would rather suntan in their Speedos while listening to “Swish Swish.”
“Most gay people aren’t political. Most gay people, you know, they care about pop music and going to the beach. They probably don’t know what the Second Amendment is. And so they show up to be together, to celebrate the community, to mourn together and instead they are fed this anti-gun nonsense.”

We don’t speak on your behalf, you imp, so please don’t speak on mine. What an absolutely ludicrous POV. And of coooourse Faux News trots this one out.
Mo Bro
Note to liberal gays: You don’t rep our entire demo. Not even close.
Get off your high horse and realize your sense of moral superiority is self-bestowed.
We’re here, we’re queer, and we give Chadwick Moore a Bronx cheer.
(we don’t actually identify as “queer,” but the rhyme sounds cool, so it stands)
DCguy
Do you notice how our resident anti-LGBT Trump troll DESPERATELY tries to deflect the topic and pretend that “Those evil liberals” are the topic here, and not the fact that this guy just generalized and attacked a group of people holding a memorial for the dozens of victims slaughtered?
Because remember, Mo Bro and his other screenames will ALWAYS take the side of anybody who attacks or is bigoted towards lgbts. That is the job of the anti-lgbt troll.
PretenderNX01
Don’t worry MoBro, it was Latino Night at Pulse and your people would be too busy standing outside complaining about the lack of “white night” to have been in harm’s way.
Donston
DCguy, he’s full of self hate like many of the people who post here (and of course many of those people are the same two or three people). But yes, it’s very funny how he constantly accuses liberals of bias and does nothing but go out of his way to defend every homophobic thing someone says. Yet. he doesn’t comprehend the obvious hypocrisy. This article had nothing to do with Trump or political views so much as one man’s ignorance.
wagnerwallace
Donston – where do you get the impression that Mo Bro is full of self-hate? Because he disagrees with you? Like he said, your sense of moral superiority is self-bestowed. And assuming you’re on the Left, you’re not one to speak on “hypocrisy”.
Donston
“wagnerwallace”
Come on. You couple of guys that use all these different screen names can at least try to pretend like you’re not the same two people. All this person did was re-iterate exactly what said, added nothing new and continued to ignored the actual topic at hand. Making your multiple avatars this obvious just makes you look supremely stupid and desperate. It’s truly sad.
Also, I never said I was “on the left”.
wagnerwallace
Donston – What would be the purpose of using multi screennames to talk to someone who can’t even back up their points? And I’m very much on topic when I ask where you get the impression that Mo Bro is self-hating? Maybe reading comprehension isn’t a strong suit for you?
Heywood Jablowme
@Mo Bro: A “Bronx cheer” means the opposite of what you think it means – look it up.
Donston
“wagnerwallace”
By on topic I mean that you have no opinion on what the actual article entails. Did you actually read the article and the quotes? Instead, you (rather quickly) came only to defend a comment-er and re-iterate exactly what they said, which exposes that you are likely the same person.
Is MoBro/KaiserVonScheiss/wagnerwallace also Brian/Richard? I thought the latter was too redundant and extreme. But I’m realizing that only do they all have similar views and hang-ups but they also use much of the same language and similar evasive/defensive tactics.
wagnerwallace
smh lol
Donston
I’d rather a response from your brother Mo.
wagnerwallace
Donston – I think you’re a joke at best. You tell me to stay on topic when I was replying to a comment that YOU made under said topic; so maybe it’s you who needs to stay on topic.
Then you come at me with a bunch of conspiracy theories about multiple accounts. I guess because there’s more than 1 person disagreeing with you? I dunno. I thought that was weird.
If you want my direct opinion on the article above; yes, I think Chadwick makes some good points. Most of the gays I know aren’t very political and just go along with whatever the current fad is. Most gays I know would much rather be on the beach listening to pop music, than reading and actually learning for themselves about what’s going on in politics.
That is my opinion and my personal observation. Hopefully that doesn’t cause you to become unhinged.
Donston
It would have been for the best had you had the balls to say that in your initial post rather than immediately speaking off topic and attacking people and then quickly summoning up “wagnerwallace” to defend yourself.
Similar beliefs have very little to do with the “conspiracy theory”. It’s the fact that your opinions never contradict the posters I mentioned, that you all use very similar blunt and evasive debating tactics, that you all often speak off topic, that you all quickly reach to defend anyone who identifies as “conservative” no matter what they say or do, that you all defend closet cases and obviously self-hating homos, that you all have issues with trans people and people who identify as non-binary, that you’re all fem-phobic and that you all use very similar language in general. You’ve been exposed. Be okay with that. How about you have enough belief in your own beliefs and stop feeling the need to not-so-subtly use alternative handles to beef up your positions?
I obviously hang out around a very different crowd, because I know no gay man who goes to the beach with any regularity and most are very well informed about politics and have varying opinions on them and only a few only listen to pop music. Not that there’s anything wrong with any of these things.
wagnerwallace
Donston – Where do you get that I defend closet cases & “self-hating homos”? Or that I have issues with transgender people and people who identify as non-binary? Where do you get that I’m “femphobic”? I’ve never even spoken to you. You’ve also been extremely rude. You’ve called me stupid, said I’ve need to grow balls, etc. etc.
Hopefully Trumpcare will get you the care you need. You’re clearly off your meds.
grethomory
@Mo Bro(also known as Rick Perry) How can you generalize that all gays want to do is listen to pop music and go to the beach? Hell, I don’t live anywhere near a beach and I love ALL music. See what I can’t stand about you idiot Gay Republicans is that you benefit from all the hard work that us LIBERAL gays fight in the trenches for. I wish there was some way to distinguish so that you could not benefit from our hard work. So, in reality you are a slacker that’s too lazy to get out and fight, but sit behind your computer and spew idiot statements, RICK!
Ander
I gladly give Chadwick Moore a “Bronx Cheer.”
LOL.
Mo Bro
Those who believe everyone on this site who doesn’t toe the liberal line and must be the same aggregate individual posting under various screen names obviously cannot fathom that other lgb people aren’t as brainwashed as they are, and that’s scary as well as sad.
(either that, or they themselves post under various names and assume everyone else is just as devious).
drmiller
The straight community can take this one back.
What an idiotic thing to say.
BriBri
Caution, not towing the gay party line will result in lynching.
Aires the Ram
Bri Bri, It has been so for many years, but even moreso today. I will never understand why the liberal leftist gay mainstream wish to have those who hate them, and want to throw them off buildings and kill them, let into our country in droves. I fail to understand their opposition to the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America which allows folks to protect themselves and their families. How different the horrible massacre at Pulse may have turned out if at least a couple of people were carrying. It is quite probable that a good number lives would have been saved, but we will never know, unfortunately. The liberal leftist gay mainstream wishes for open borders, one world government, destruction of nationalism and a host of other things that have not only made our country great, but the other Western Democracies as well. As my Grandmother used to say: “Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.”
DCguy
This is why Fox had him on. He is a gay guy soothing their concerns. “Oh, don’t worry, those gays aren’t political, you can be as nasty as you want to them, they won’t care, they just want to go to the beach.”
He was doing this to the point that he is basically pretending a bunch of people accidentally stumbled over to Stonewall and there really wasn’t an event or memorial happening.
Remember how he tried to pretend he wasn’t a shill for the right wing when people called him out on his love letter article to Milo Yianopolis? Well gee, look, everybody who accused him of that were exactly right. Look at what his unfiltered opinions are.
Donston
Clearly, he’s a fraud. Claiming to be “turned conservative” due to the response from that article. When it was apparent based on that article and his behavior afterwards that that’s who he’s always been.
I’m cool with openly gay conservatives. But unfortunately, the ones who present themselves are so clearly full of ignorance and self-hate that no right-leaning, sane person can take them seriously.
Mo Bro
@Donston:
You’re “cool with openly gay conservatives”?? That statement is either:
A) Delusional
B) A lie
C) A common liberal fantasy that you’re accepting of all individuals . . . despite the fact that your many comments on this site are a solid declaration of your absolute disdain for all things non-liberal, not to mention your regular attacks on those of us not dumb enough to buy into progressive propaganda, so . . . no, no one believes you’re “cool with openly gay conservatives.”
DCguy
@Mo Bro,
No Trump Troll, your problem is, you’re a shill who sees it as his duty to defend anti-lgbt bigotry.
Donston is talking about “Conservative” in the old fashion meaning, you are talking about the new meaning of “Conservative” with is simply anti-lgbt bigotry, attacks on women, and altering the tax structure to hit the middle class hard to give pay-offs to people like Mitt Romney.
Sorry for the confusion.
Also, you REALLY show your anti-lgbt agenda by who you defend on here. And lastly, your new Screename “Aries the Ram” would be more believable if you changed his sentence structure to sound less like you.
Mo Bro
@PCguy:
I wasn’t addressing you, young lady, so learn to remain silent.
Mo Bro
@PCguy:
Or did you assume I was addressing you because “Donston” is just another one of your many, many, many screen names that you post under in an attempt to convince others that your opinions are more prevalent than they are?
Donston
Yeah, I’m gonna avoid engaging with Bro and who I feel may be his alternatives from here on. His agenda is pretty obvious at this point. However, the fact that he makes his litany of alternative screen names so obvious by not even veering from his typical writing patterns, by never allowing any of them to have varying opinions and by rarely using any of them unless he needs “more people” in his corner makes him pretty hard to respect. If you’re gonna go down that route at least be good at it.
Mo Bro
@Donston:
If you, like so many of your ilk, cannot accept that more than one gay man disagrees with your liberal fantasies, then that says so, so much more about you than it does about me and the other gay men who reject your harmful policies. We exist. Deal with it, or continue your freefall into mental madness in your attempt to deny.
But, brainwashed sycophants rarely see things beyond their hate-colored world, so it’s not like I expect you to have an epiphany and see the evils of your ways.
Love ya, buddy.
DCguy
@ Mo Bro,
Ahhhhh, the “I’m not going to engage with you because you can’t defend against any of the points I bring up.” tactic.
It didn’t work when you tried it back when your screename was BJ McFrisky and it doesn’t seem to be working now. You don’t post multiple replies to somebody you’re claiming to ignore.
Sorry that I keep inconveniencing your troll attempts with facts. You’ll have to work harder to get that check from the GOP this month.
DCguy
@Mo Bro
You said “”@PCguy:
Or did you assume I was addressing you because “Donston” is just another one of your many, many, many screen names that you post under in an attempt to convince others that your opinions are more prevalent than they are?””
—————–
LOL! And AGAIN, you tried this tactic back when you were BJ McFrisky, you just tried to repost what was said about you. It didn’t work then, in fact it worked so badly that you switched screenames away from that.
I’m sorry that you are having trouble defending the GOP who wants to harm us, and has stripping our rights away was one of their planks. AND the fact that Trump, who you said would be so good for lgbts chose the most notoriously anti-lgbt politician in the country as his VP, a man who thought it was worth tanking the entire economy of Indiana if it allowed him to attack us.
Not my fault that you are having trouble with that, you’re the one that chose to be an anti-lgbt right wing troll. Maybe look in the mirror and rethink your life.
As Tatianna from RuPauls Drag Race would say ….”Choices”

I was at the vigil on Monday. I was right up at the stage, as a matter of fact. Many times it was stated that this was not only a memorial for those killed, but a celebration of their lives and the lives of the survivors.
debrajc
Clearly Mr. Moore is not familiar with Nate Silver. Or Harvey Milk. Barney Frank. Wayne Besen. Does this guy watch the news at all?!
Donston
Well, this site promotes partying, pretty boys, hetero worship, promiscuity and polygamy over practically anything else. So, based off this site alone he kinda has a point.
I have some issues with gay media and the direction that lgbtq “movement” seems to be going. However, there are many, many gay men who care very much about politics and the world at large. This is where so many gay men who argue that their conservative politics are not driven by self-hate tend to reveal themselves. “They probably don’t know what the Second Amendment is”. Unfortunately, most people don’t know the second amendment.
Snicky
His opinion means what? Nowadays everyone voices their opinions no matter what they may be with no sense propreity. My opinion is he spouted a poor generalization of what being gay is. Is he one of us or against us?
oaksong
So this guy claims to be gay. How would anyone know? And we know up front Fox isn’t interested in a memorial service, only about what will rile up the gun rights crowd.
Donston
That was obviously the point of covering the memorial, just to bring up gun rights and also to suggest that all gay men care about is partying and themselves so why should be bother caring about them or mourning them?. It was all highly manipulated. But in turn they hurt themselves by making a supposedly self-accepting conservative gay man look like someone full of hate and self-hate.
Trampsi
Yaaass, I love pop music and the beach.
Trampsi
Must suck to be gay if you don’t live on the coast, now you’ve only got pop music left. Boop
Richard 55
Chadwick is correct about the indulgent nature of the gay scene.
Donston
I’m all about self-critique. However, the “gay scene” is very different than “gay men”. He’s clearly talking about gay men as an entire people and not merely the “party scene”. I also get annoyed that while many people are willing to acknowledge the issues with “gay culture” that those same people often refuse to connect homophobia, societal ostracization and feelings of inferiority to a lot of the narcissistic and indulgent instincts of a handful of gay men.
Donston
I also get annoyed that people assume that because someone’s gay that means that they’re supposed to have more intellectual leanings. It would be nice if everyone was informed cognitive. That’s not the case for most people no matter their sexuality. And for some being gay is so oppressive to their ego and outlook that partying and avoiding “heavy topics” is the only way they see themselves as somewhat happy people.
DCguy
And what is “The Gay Scene”?
Because remember, there is no such thing as a heterosexual bar, or straight parties, and young straight people definitely don’t ever drink.
Something almost as bad as straight people generalizing about lgbts is our own folks thinking that their experience is the only reality.
If you don’t like the scene you’re experiencing, try something new. If you’re the 60 year old guy at a club wearing a tight 10 year old A&F t shirt, that is the “Scene” you’ve chosen.
Terrycloth
Sad .I know people who won’t watch TV news because they “hate that show “.haven’t a clue who vice president is or covfefe…yet they know kardashians and Harry Styles…smh. ..I didn’t just take up space in school. You can be gay and informed .
Chris
People like Chadwick Moore make their money not just by misrepresenting others (okay, they outright lie) but also by making light of the horrible tragedies that strike. He’s a little more than a bucket of slime.
TomChicago
Gay people are “Not political”? They only care about “pop music and going to the beach”? Is this analysis done by someone who was alive during the ACTUP days, when the President of this country needed to have his nose filled with the stench of the dying before he could even bring himself to utter the word, AIDS? There were pathetically few allies outside our desperate group, and the changes that moved heaven and earth toward an awareness and a strategy to combat the virus were at the instigation of, primarily, OUR community and OUR allies. We have become a powerful voting block known for powerful organization, generosity, commitment and activism. Mr. Moore is very glib, but he would be well advised to speak more thoughtfully about gay people lest someone confuse him with a bimbo.
Prax07
Guess I’m not gay, according to that douche. I haven’t been to a beach since I was six, and I abhor pop music.
MediaGuy
I’m so happy that Queerty put this on their website to make the point loud and clear that this massacre was about Muslim extremism. Otherwise, silly liberal gays wouldn’t have known.
Mo Bro
Sadly, they’ll remain forever with their heads buried in the sand, rationalizing such actions as “gun violence” and the “culture of violence fostered by Trump,” especially when it’s one of their own perpetuating the violence. See the liberal response to yesterday’s shooting, when so many of them proclaimed Scalise deserved it because he didn’t vote the way liberals wanted him to.
DCguy
And again, Mo Bro has two of his screenames talking to each other.
I love how the ONLY defense they have against the fact that right wing Christians here in the U.S. are desperately trying to pass laws against us, our rights, AND funding hate groups world-wide with the goal of killing us, is to try to blame all anti-lgbt bigotry on one of their competing religions.
If I lived in Saudi Arabia I would worry about right wing Muslims who want to harm me, but here in America, we’ve seen the enemy who wants us harmed, and it’s the GOP.
But please, bring out 4 more of your screenames and have a phony conversation about it.
Richard 55
The gay male community has deteriorated. Instead of questioning society, it goes along with it. Instead of challenging homophobia, it whines about it for a few seconds and then forgets about it.
The gay male scene has become a scene based on sexual fantasies ruled by tbe same principles that influence straight guys.
Maybe it’s time to draw the curtain on it. It serves no useful purpose anymore.
DCguy
Ahhh, the fake right wing troll.
Funny, how did DADT get removed? How did Marriage become legal? how did adoption become legal? How did anti-lgbt politicians start getting fired.
You’ve tried this same posting more than once. Give it up.
Jazmynnn
“the Stonewall is sort of gay, it’s a gay holy site, right. It’s the equivalent of Mecca for Muslims.” I’m sorry, what? Don’t compare an actual religion’s holy site to the sexuality of others. He didn’t have to say that, that’s not right on behalf of Muslims.
Sluggo2007
“Gay people only care about pop music and going to the beach.” Not true. They also care about assholes like you getting cancer of the balls.
Mo Bro
Spoken like a truly compassionate liberal.
DCguy
Because remember, Mo Bro never points out that what Chadwick says is an attack, but he will cry like a spoiled little 2nd grader if anybody says anything back.
Josh447
Oh please, this guy is so ill informed. We also like drag, dancing decorating leather gyms muscles, and helping people get over that really bad hair day. This guy is very short sighted.
Neonegro
A memorial for the dead was turned into an anti-gun and anti-trump rally.
That is the ctiticism.
ivanw222
To Mr. Chadwick Moore, why does that name sound like he was born with a silver spoon stuck up his ass?, I’m a 61 year old out gay man who served 4 years in the Navy, and 9 years in the Air Force. I don’t listen to what is called “music” today, give me the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, I don’t go to the beach, probably because I live in Minnesota, I don’t ever wear a swim suit, because I’m sadly now over 210lbs. I do a work day that would probably kill you! So please take your stereotype FOX/GOP crap and blow it out your ass!
