Anthony Bowens felt the love.
@pinknews #Openlygay #wrestler #AnthonyBowens quickly shut down #Harley Cameron after she rapped that she thought Bowens was into her. The #gay #wrestlingstar then gestured toward his rainbow attire asking her to “look at his gear” before confirming what his fans already knew: that he’s gay. His fans began chanting ‘He’s gay! He’s gay! He’s Gay!” in the Chicago arena. #queernews #queertok #wwe #wrestlingtiktok #wrestlingtok #lgbtq #queerathlete ♬ original sound – PinkNews 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Some guy dresses in women’s clothes and calls himself a woman and certain sections of the gay community think he is a hero. If ya got a pen.a you can never be a woman. It’s insulting to women and quite frankly the gay community.
waldorf
Great reply, agree 100%. The militant trans lobby is harming the advances LGB people have made over the decades.
carllonghorn
The “gay” community is made up of many, many different types of people and forms of expression. If you don’t like it, join the right wingnuts and move along. We don’t need your semi-soft declaration of pride when all you really represent is a middle-of-the-road white bread mentality. We are all much more than what you seem to represent.
DJLA
Dylan isn’t affecting you or anyone else yet you felt the need to write and publish a hateful comment. It’s disgusting, really. It’s past time that you open your mind and let human beings live their lives in peace— without your insignificant persecutions.
trell
@eightinchnail: Let me correct your post for you:
Some member of a community that is under-represented and in constant fear of persecution dresses in a manner that reflects their nature without shame or embarrassment, and certain sections of the community support them, while others seem willing to put them down, even within their community. Very few people in the gay community have any problem with this, and those who do should be ashamed of themselves.
@Waldorf: There’s nothing militant about what trans people are trying to achieve. They were there from the early days post-Stonewall, and are still here now, still fighting along with the LGB community that you seem willing to separate them from.
There’s been enough segregation and division over the years. We don’t need in-fighting. We either support diversity, or not at all. We can’t/shouldn’t pick and choose.
dbmcvey
I think the great thing about this person is how much she triggers anti-trans freaks.
Neoprene
Dylan isn’t trans. Dylan is a little gay boi dressing up in drag. It can’t possibly be any more obvious.
frapachino
@ carllonghorn sorry dude no one anointed you the arbiter of what the rest of us can think and express, And just because someone has an opinion YOU don’t agree with doesn’t mean they are a ‘right wingnut”. Jeesh seriously grow up already. I live in liberal utopia San Francisco and even here most people I talk to gay and straight think the trans radicals have gone too far and are a militant regressive group of people. Notice I said TRANS RADICALS and not trans community.
frapachino
@ DJLA where did anyone say they cannot live their lives in peace? And you are doing the exact thing you are accusing him of doing, irony much?
Rocinante
I bet you were that Jew in Nazi Germany who worked for them administrating the train schedules to Aushwitz. Glad to see you are consistent across lives.
Jack
When the way anyone on earth’s expression of their gender ACTUALLY insults you little twats, then let us know. Until then. Mind. Your. GD. Business.
frapachino
Nah I and others will continue to speak our minds!
dbmcvey
Of course you will frapper, you will continue to say what ever rotted garbage thoughts drift through that sewer you call a mind.
Hayden
Not that I disagree with your message but I think it’s stupid when people say to mind your own business when it comes to people who put their lives online. Don’t get me wrong everyone deserves respect. But when you put it out there for everyone you have to expect criticism from people with differing opinions
eightinchnail
@dbmcvey trans woman is a man who has fully transitioned to a woman ie they are ‘penis free’. I have zero problems with trans people I just don’t like being called a bigot because I don’t agree with what some are doing to the LBG movement. Why are the liberal far left so nasty in thinking anyone who disagrees with them is some kind of right wing lunatic? Theron lies the problem. We all have different opinions except mine doesn’t count.
dbmcvey
Hey man with a tiny penis. You’re a freak.
frenchtiti
absolutely true!
London_resistance
how interesting that the kiddies of queerty delete and forbid all comments in a thread about that silly creature dylan mulvaney, cos the comments were so overwhelmingly hostile on here from the gays!
Queerty kiddies listen up- we gay men do NOT like these freaky opportunistic pantomime performers dressing as women and mocking women.
So stop promoting them
MISTERJETT
what the “F” makes you think you can speak for us all by saying “we gay men don’t like….”? just speak for your ignorant self, a-hole. i, for one,(and you notice i’m just speaking for myself) enjoy drag queens and their performances. it’s fun, it’s entertaining, it’s creative and it’s perfectly harmless. take a poll and see how many people, gay, straight and everyone else feel the same way that i do. who the hell do you think you are?
henare
Clearly you speak only for yourself. We gay men aren’t nearly as fragile as you seem to be, and Dylan called this exactly right.
Fenwick22
You’re broken. Jealousy is an ugly thing.
frapachino
@ MISTERJETT talk about spewing hate?
dbmcvey
I think we all know who the freak is here, and his name implies he lives in The Big Smoke.
Bosch
London Resistance? More like Stockholm Syndrome.
The homophobes aren’t going to like you more just because you also hate trans people.
frenchtiti
I agree there is serious censorship here concerning that fake woman
dbmcvey
I’ve discovered if you edit your response it goes to “moderation” and never gets out. Other than that, you just have to choose your words carefully. I don’t think there is actually a moderator reading the posts.
Mary Jane
By the way, I don’t support Kaitlyn in any manner, regarding the comments earlier that I was unable to edit or correct with respect to her political affiliation.
nm4047
Not ever going to happen, as we don’t want to really know the answer. But, when is there going to be a survey on what gay men and lesbian women actually think about the add on to the Gay & Lesbian tag. Many gay men (& women) find it difficult to accept bi in the tag and as such find it all but impossible to identify with the remainder of the tiqa+ add ons.
monty clift
That’s why the BTQ community should be a separate entity from lesbian and gay men’s groups since they have their own beliefs.
banditboy
The woke posse in Chicago tried to get us to change the name of Boystown to another name, but it will ALWAYS be Boystown.

“Woke” blah blah. That record broke a long time ago!

I think trans people are just fine in their own skin. I think all grades in school should allow sexual identity conversation with parental consent. I also think puberty blockers (castration medicine that can kill reproductivity) should be used post puberty since many change their minds after puberty as to how they identify. I’ll even call you she if you like.
However, sports locker rooms showers sororities fraternities should be kept separate binary. There is no room for coed and never will be. Also trans women are not women or they wouldn’t have diks. They would have vaginas and a uterus and be able to reproduce which they can’t. They are men. Transition is impossible. The public doesn’t buy it nor should they. It’s insane.
The fact that no trans person short of Caitlin Jenner seems to agree with this is indicative of how off base they are and hence, many gay people want them removed from the LGBT logo.
It doesn’t matter how supportive of the gay community they have been, they have destroyed alot of good work we have done. We are now living in a very deep dark trans shadow they have cast. Think Lea Thomas just for starters.
Sweden is the foremost supporter of trans people starting with puberty blockers in 1972. They have stopped puberty blockers as of a year ago for several reasons. They also have never allowed men called trans women to play on women’s sports teams. Logic and sanity wins.
We have our own gay shadow to dissolve, adding there’s is too much.
Darson
Thank you for that. I have always said once Dylan rides this trans pony for all she can she will transition back. No breasts and no bottom surgery scheduled..not a woman…a transwoman. And don’t go off about money, Dylan comes from money
If they really wanted the surgery, they would have had it. Just playing dress up.
trell
Sorry….how exactly have trans people destroyed a lot of good work that (according to you) seems to necessitate a division from the LGBT logo?
Gender Dysphoria, which is recognised as a very real & recognised medical condition, and has been for decades, is the primary root of the sexual identity issues that trans people have. As with any ailment, they have a right to receive treatment for it, and not to be sneered at by anyone.
Yes, I will admit that there are still controversies around transitioning and how a post-transitioned person fits in with certain areas of society (e.g, a male-to-female trans person competing in olympic sports will have an unfair edge for example), but these issues are societal, not unlike how bigoted str8 people can’t seem to fit the idea of gay marriage into their narrow world view.
I don’t know what you mean by own gay shadow, but the LGBTQIA+ community, to me, has always been about inclusion. While there have been some brief squabbles (gay men keeping seperations with lesbian groupss back in the 80s, bisexuality not being really properly recognised even within the community etc.) truth is WE DON’T NEED THIS.
Ousting certain elements of our community from within, only serves as indications with the typical cis white str8 whitebread crowd to demonstrate what a bunch of petty hypocrites we are, and strengthen their fight to undermine our rights. – Pointing at Caitlin Jenner as a representative for trans people is like pointing at George Santos as a representative for gay men.
In fact, talking of acceptance, here in the UK, the majority of the population are in favour of trans rights, with protections in UK law, and while we have left the EU, we are still covered by the ECHR. Unlike the US, where law, politics and religion are too enmeshed, which have resulted in the recent SCOTUS vote against LGBTQ_ rights, I think the UK has it right. Yes, there are still transphobes, but they are fewer and further between.
TL:DR – Ultimately, Trans people have every right to be included within the LGBT movement, and transphobia within the ranks is stupid and embarrasing, and doing more to cause harm within our community than anything that your MAGA GOP twats could dream of doing!
still_onthemark
@trell: Thank you for your thoughtful post. True, the UK handles the adolescent transitioning issue better than most US states ever could. You closed the Tavistock trans clinic, part of the National Health Service, which was run by an extreme trans activist who was NOT a doctor and pushed “affirming care” unquestioningly on every patient. But you Brits tend to learn from your mistakes (not an American trait, unfortunately!).
Regarding F-to-M trans, a lot of men are “basic” in our visceral fear of castration. Eeeek!
As for adult transpeople, I think a lot of it is just unfamiliarity with them. Most gay men in the US don’t know any transpeople; we’ve met one or two in passing but don’t encounter them at work or in “gay spaces” like bars or anywhere else. We see them at a Pride event, perhaps, but that’s all.
As a group, gay men spent decades trying to convince the straights we are “Born This Way” and it finally worked. Gender dysphoria is a difficult concept for many people to grasp and it can seem like a rejection of stuff we’ve been saying as a group since the 1950s at least. Trans can SEEM to be the opposite of “born this way” even if it’s really not.
frapachino
@ trell “LGBTQIA+ community, to me, has always been about inclusion” oh brother it clearly is not as you yourself admit in this comment, it is only inclusive when you tow the party line and agree with a certain narrative.
Winsocki
This goes to Dylan and any other Influencer of any gender/race/religion etc…… You are stupid if you think your social media brand and ‘job’ to live a life online will not get haters and bullying. Are influencers that naive? Drag queens complain about it on RuPaul…..who told you to get on the show, no one….. no such thing as bad publicity. I sympathize but expectations of Media La La land is quite frankly acting the fool. We live in a society of pushback and nasty. Accept that with the good.
Neoprene
Yawn. Are you boring in person, too?
KyleMichelSullivan
I look forward to a time when people will be allowed to just live their lives as they want and not be hounded and criticized by every twerp who believes they have a say in what that person thinks, says or does. I know it’s wishful to hope for this, because the vicious and hateful comments on this blog strongly suggest we will never reach that level; we’re too invested in the bitchiness.
frapachino
That’s never going to happen, Why do you come to the comments section if that stuff bothers you so much? Are you new to social media? And who gets to define what hate is who is spreading it?
dbmcvey
It will never happen as long as people like frappy are here to make sure people won’t be allowed to live in peace. He’s here to make sure no one ever has any peace ever!
Bosch
Divide and conquer. What better way to weaken our community than to convince us that we should be in-fighting? Turn the LGBs against the QTA’s, and watch the whole thing burn.
“Look homophobes, we can also be bigots!” is not going to save us from anything.
still_onthemark
But that doesn’t mean the gender extremists (gender abolitionists?) can say any silly thing they want to and then we ALL have to back it up or else we’re bigots.
Diplomat
Division isn’t just happening in our community, it’s happening in the straight community as well. There is a large part of the gay community who feel we have nothing in common with trans people, and that they were foist on us by powers unknown. Many gays are quite resentful of this seeming magic act.
The gay community is to trans activists as Maga is to Trump, both under an insane spell of psychotic demise gripped in fear.
The zealotous trans activist mafia has taken over gay culture. We are paying for it by lost corporate sponsers and lost sports team sponsors bc they can’t sign off on trans ideology, and they never will.
The war is on. It’s a matter of taking the sane side or the insane wak job side. A statement from the gay community saying we don’t support the trans activists utter destruction of women’s private spaces, stealing women’s sports awards, redefining real women as “birthing persons” allowing men in a dress into sororities and women’s prisons, and changing biomen into biowomen and visa versa, which is a blatant impossibility, would be a good place to start. Rejecting insane trans psychobabble isn’t transphobic, it’s pro sanity. We’re dying on the trans sword here boys and girls.
Is it our duty to glazingly stand by bleeding, allowing trans activists to fry half the human race, real women and the people that love them, in the name of our now severely tarnished rainbow flag?
Or…is it time to SNAP OUT OF IT?
Kangol2
Here you are blaming trans people and activists for the incessant attacks on the LGBTQ community, yet the recent Lorie Smith case, like the prior Masterpiece Cakeshop case, shows that anti-LGBTQ forces are coming not just for trans people, who are an easy target, but for gay people, including bourgeois, homonormative cis gay couples, including fictive ones as that Lorie Smith case underlined, and their targets include gay marriage and everything other right that gay people, and the broader LGBTQ community, have fought and won in the US over the last 54 years.
Even were the “gay community,” which is not just one coherent entity but a wide variety of people who fall under that umbrella, to issue a “statement saying [we] don’t support” what you claim to be the “utter destruction” of “women’s private spaces,” etc., the anti-gay zealots would still hate you, still be trying to take away your rights and equality, and, in some cases, as demonstrated in the Pulse massacre and the Club Q massacres, still want you dead. They will pick anything–drag queens and trans people now, gays in the military and same-sex marriage and same-sexual activity and gay sex in magazines and works of literature and anything else in the past–and run with it. And cowardly and sympathetic politicians and jurists will go right along with them.
So you go on talking about trans people as if they are the cause of the right-wing attacks on and backlash against LGBTQ people, and those of us who actually do fight for LGBTQ people and our rights will go right on about our business, doing all we can to protect all of us rather than falling prey to the divisions that our oppressors seek, so that they can destroy us.
ChrisGMN
Its so funny Lesbians call Andersonville, Chicago “lesbianville.” Gay men describe it as where the gays are exiled to form Boystown after they turn 25. Seriously – Andersonville has multiple gay bars and one lesbian bar – it is hardly “lesbianville” anymore.
