South Dakota’s gay-hating governor Kristi Noem has taken her shadow campaign to be Donald Trump‘s 2024 running mate to the next level by attacking LGBTQ+ college students in her state.
“Across the nation, higher education is in a state of crisis,” Noem, who dropped out of college when she was 22, tweeted the other day. “From prioritizing feelings over facts to radical indoctrination, as a country, we should be ashamed of this. As a state, South Dakota can show the nation what quality higher education is supposed to look like.”
South Dakota’s trans-hating governor continued her senseless crusade against LGBTQ+ youth this week.
The tweet also included an infographic of all the things Noem is directing the South Dakota Board of Regents to do to combat this “crisis”, including an order to “remove all references to preferred pronouns in all school materials and any enforcement of such” and another one to “prohibit drag shows from taking place on university campuses.”
Ironically, sandwiched right between those two demands is an additional order to “remove any policy or procedure that prohibits students from exercising their right to free speech.”

Noem, who herself has been known to dabble in drag on occasion, also launched a whistleblower hotline for people to report any suspected drag shows happening at colleges, saying it “will help keep institutions accountable and ensure that we are all aware of what is happening at our taxpayer-funded colleges and universities.”
She also lamented that too many states have allowed “liberal ideologies to poison their colleges and universities,” teaching students “the importance of diversity and equity and given access to ‘safe spaces’ instead of learning to tolerate the disagreement, discomfort, and dissent that they will experience in the real world.”
If Kristi's version of "quality higher education " is based on her twisted worldview, then South Dakota will continue to fall behind, and our best and brightest will continue to leave.
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?
She has glaring “crazy eyes.” America should steer far clear of her and keep her away from the White House, except for tourist visits (and even then, keep her under careful observation)!
With Mount Rushmore proudly displayed on her letterhead, listing her demands.
Ahhh, Mount Rushmore! The carving of four white men into what was surely Sacred Ground. Stamped with poiliticians, all white and all straight, except for one—the jury is still out on him.
The monument is the symbol of colonialism and the genocide of indigenous peoples and the ownership of slaves by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
And Kristi is just fine with that folks! Refreshments and postcards on your right, step right up and have yerselves a nice day!
Really? There are no facts that support her anti-LGBTQ agenda. The LGBTQ community does no more harms than any other segment of the general population. Drag shows are so dangerous that you will ban them from a community legal adults (e.g. college students and faculty)?
Why not just ban homosexuality and affinity group for our community as well?
Oh dear, I got my GOP ladies all mixed up! Oh well, they will all end up on Fox And Friends. Is that like the most stupid name for a show in all of TV history!
The Do-Nothing Party. BTW, her husband would look fine in full leather and he lookks gay, too, what ever gay looks like..Good luck with all of your goals, Christ-tee.
