Remember Christian Walker? The ‘I-like-manly-men-but-don’t-call-me-gay’ son of GOP candidate Herschel Walker made a big deal a couple of months ago about upping sticks from California and relocating to Florida.

The rightwing influencer repeatedly took to social media to celebrate moving from a blue to a red state and praised Governor Ron DeSantis for introducing his notorious ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.
Just last week Walker posted about how nice it was not to be walking the streets of Los Angeles.
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.
Moved to Florida from California not even two months ago, and dang… it feels nice to not have to worry about stepping in human poop on the street when I go for a walk.

Last month he hung out with DeSantis and sang his praises.
I moved across the country because of this man. Thank you Governor DeSantis for making sure kids are protected at schools. Thank you Governor DeSantis for protecting businesses and people’s jobs. And thank you Governor DeSantis for keeping Florida free.
Best decision ever. pic.twitter.com/VQua46tkqZ

Well, it seems that the move to Miami has not been all sunbeams and rainbows. Earlier this week, Walker posted a video to his Instagram stories in which he revealed that leaving Los Angeles had not been as easy as he imagined. In fact, he said if he could snap his fingers and move back, he would.
In a subsequent posting, he said, “I feel like I’m going through the worst breakup of my life. That’s the best way to describe the feeling. I love LA so much so I’m heartbroken. I’m sure this is a transition period and I’ll feel better soon. See you at Starbucks tomorrow.”
He also thanked those people who had sent him messages of support or who said they could relate.
The story was reshared to TikTok by user @nicholas.politics. Watch below.

Christian Walker elicits little sympathy
Many of us know what it’s like to move to an entirely new area and to feel a little homesick. Or wonder if we’ve made the right decision.
However, online, sympathy for Walker seemed in remarkably short supply.
“He realized conservatives only like him as an online token and not irl lmao” said one person on TikTok, summing up the thoughts of many.
“Almost like he was sheltered in CA and FL is showing him the truth of ppl with similar mindsets to him,” said another.
Here are a few Twitter reactions.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Florida has reminded him that he’s Black and gay. 🤷🏾♀️

I know someone who left California for Texas, he got there a week before the grid failed & people froze to death, he then went to Florida, hates it, & is planning on moving back to California.
— Shawn Williams (@shawniedw2) September 27, 2022
I try not to wish ill on others. It’s an ongoing battle. This kid is hateful. The hate he dumps on others… Well maybe a little suffering will be transformative and a learning experience for him. Maybe he will gain empathy for others.

As a lifelong Californian too, it is so hard to leave the state because you realize how crazy the employment, tenant, etc. laws are in other states. Like, I’ll pay higher taxes if it means better safety nets

Mister P
He’s so stupid even his father thinks he is stupid.
TerryR
and his father’s a well documented dumb f&*k
LumpyPillows
His father thinks?
bachy
Makes me giggle. It’s like watching a clown prancing across a minefield.
jt1990
@Mister P Maybe not the brightest but not stupid. He’s no athlete like his dad but managed to create his own fame. I’d say most of the attention he receives comes from Liberals triggered over his commentary. Free publicity lol. But don’t get me wrong, I know his type. They say the right things to gain a following or to get elected. But no practical skill besides speaking. Uncle Tom ain’t fooling the likes of me lol
TerryR
What a whiny little worm. You know why they call themselves Log Cabin Republicans? Because we’re a bunch of self-loathing hypocrites wouldn’t fit on the letterhead.
still_onthemark
Don’t worry, Christian, your great gubernator DeSatan will push for a law to ban any discussion of hurricanes. If y’all don’t talk about them, they won’t exist! Just like trans people!

Talk to DeathSantis, maybe he’ll buy you a ticket to Mississippi where you can really feel your roots.

We knew you were kidding, Lump. Unlike you, some of us have a real sense of humor.
LumpyPillows
Ab, do you always have to be a jerk?
abfab
No Lumpy. I was trying to let you know that that next time I say that every one of us has been hit on the head in a gay bar……it’s a little sarcasm, a little humor. A little.
LumpyPillows
Oh. Well then there is that.
wiggie
He moved across the country for DeSantis??? Florida’s governors are limited to two terms and, btw, welcome to your first hurricane boo boo.
abfab
One of hands is missing from the photo, and the reason why the Bozo is grinning from ear to ear is because he’s getting his ass fingered by Chrissy. I know these things.
Kangol2
Pathetic sad snow queen!
Harley
If I lived in Florida and knew where he lived I would save all my dog shit from picking up on their walks and leave it on his front porch every day. Just saying.
Mack
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Cam
What a shock, a wealthy blue state was better than where he moved.
LumpyPillows
Ha ha! California does not want him back.
Try Mississippi next.
Fahd
He may miss California, but I’m sure it doesn’t miss him. No doubt he feels ambivalent about the extra negative attention a black, gay (“same-sex attracted”?) man would receive in Florida.
HalcyonDays
Wherever you go, there you are. He can’t escape himself by moving to a new state.
UpperCasey
QUEERTY STOP AMPLIFYING THE CRAZY! There is no news or entertainment value whatsoever here … seriously … y’all need to stop taking the lazy way out of regurgitating social media feeds for clicks … I DON’T CARE about this person or this topic, and his 15min of fame is so over … #DoBetter
LumpyPillows
Rev. Warnock should be featuring him in commercials. Totally relevant.
dougparr
Thank you for stating how many of us feel about giving air time to these losers….I think Queerity is doing a dis-service to the gay community by highlighting anyone or anything that doesn’t lift up the community.
abfab
Read The Washington Blade.
KyleMichelSullivan
Why am I supposed to care about him?
LumpyPillows
Why? His father is a republican running for a senate seat.
inbama
With so much between his ears, he shouldn’t be complaining about “human poop.”
James
What a loser. I hope he rots. Stupid idiot.
butchqueen
Go to the shore, gurl! It’s totes fun.
Doug
Walker must have removed the video, it’s not on his Instagram page. I wanted to leave a reply telling him he’s exactly where he should be, with his idol DeSantis. We don’t want him back in California.
BigJohnSF
how much time does he spend on those eyebrows?
abfab
Zero. His father does them.
dbmcvey
At a certain point it starts to feel mean laughing at someone who is very, very stupid and possibly has some mental health problems.
donknightner
I’ll let you know in a few decades when that feeling begins to happen when laughing at Christian Walker….

Who is surprised to hear that someone wanted to date that crazy?

Based on right-wing Christian ideology, I think one must presume that God is punishing Florida for sending refugees from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard. And having Chrisssy move in all within a short timespan.
barryaksarben
I had to move from the west coast , LA then Seattle, after my mom needed. help and have hated Florida from day one. Unless you are within one mile of the. coast it is a like a hotplate. No culture and the gay scene is 10 years behind and for their own safety pretty closed and hard to break in. I have. made some wonderful friends and the gay community. is great once you in. However, it is the other people who make you want to grab a boxcar, anything to get back west. WAAY to make baptists, Mormons swampers and mega old people. It should be perfect for this closeted. ignorant fool. He deserves to live here
abfab
I’m hoping The Villages is spared from the wrath of The Rapture which doth commeth to their homeland. If it’s destroyed, the cretin POS supporters will have to disperse and find a new Jerusalem!
My appologies to any fellow queers who happen to live in the Villages and read this paper.

He truly took after his father and is an idiot. He is a whiny little girl. No one cares about you. Go away and shut up. Maybe do something for a living rather than whine 24/7.
RichAM
Can’t stand this hateful child of the dumbest man to ever run for office. His tweets on Twitter caused me to block him as I couldn’t stand to see how rude and horrible he was to more left leaning folks. Don’t feel sorry for him one bit.

Queerty, you only publish a certain number of articles each day. Why waste space on trash like Christian Walker?

After studying the data, Q discovered that this basket-case generates thousands of comments similar to yours. More clicks, more comments, more revenue for Q from the corps that advertise here. It’s not rocket science…..it’s just more bullshit. But consider yourself part of Q’s business model.
