Lauren Boebert reminded everyone that she’s a homophobic POS this week when she attacked the U.S. Naval Academy for tweeting its support of LGBTQ service members.
It all started when the academy tweeted a Pride message that read, “During #PrideMonth, the U.S. Naval Academy celebrates the diversity of our midshipmen and our workforce, and promotes the dignity, equal rights, and self-affirmation of the LGBTQ+ community.”

Nobody was more offended by the message than Boebert, who tweeted a screenshot of the image beside a screenshot of a piece of WW2 Soviet propaganda, along with the caption: “I’m sure Russia’s running scared with our new woke PR campaign.”

But Boebert’s tweet, while vile, is not the least bit surprising.
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.
The “family values” congresswoman has frequently flaunted her hatred for LGBTQ people. In March, she said she opposed the Equality Act because it promoted “supremacy of gays, lesbians, and transvestites.” And last month, she mocked nonbinary people when she announced her pronoun is “patriot.”
My pronoun is “Patriot”.

And just last week, she accused liberals of legalizing the spread of HIV for working to end homophobic HIV exposure laws.
Seriously, it must be exhausting to be so hateful.
And now, the responses to the congresswoman’s pro-Russian/antigay tweet…
Keep on rooting for the enemy #FakePatriotParty

I feel bad for your children since they now know that their mother will reject them for being gay.

This is beyond homophobic. You should be censured, immediately.

Instead of #Pride , @RepBoebert would rather see a return to Paragraph 175 https://t.co/k1OWi4bAoS

HiLisa
My guess is that Lauren actually has a bullet between her legs.

Republicans have been supporting Russia for years. Remember ages ago Sarah Palin was talking about what a great leader Putin was compared to our president. Republican’s hate America. They’re overreaching on their phony patriotism is to hide the reality that they’re not for the country.

And I recall clearly when that shift started to happen. As Obama and the Dems began to slowly advocate for SSM, Putin was doing the opposite-cracking down on LGBT rights and even visibility. The Right here LOVED that!

Lauren Baboon wants attention… but she has to compete with MTG and Gaetz! So she will probably be cranking up the crazy just to get attention.

This is Russian propaganda. The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991.
Heywood Jablowme
It’s from WWII so it’s Soviet.
jcool
when you flunk out of high school, then fail your first attempt at the GED……fail the GED? she’s not ignorant to facts, she’s just stupid

How have these people like Boebert not been put down yet? I can’t fathom it. Decent people are killed every day, yet these literal piles of feces are going around being evil with no repercussions.
guezwhoitis
why do we give indolent slags like this any interest?
Kangol2
In her case it’s because she’s a sitting Congresswoman. Were she some garden-variety crackpot tooling around Colorado she wouldn’t be worth the interest of a fly on the windowsill, unless she were committing a felony, threatening domestic terrorism, etc.

Does she kinda look like Sarah Palin or is it just me?

I made the mistake of drinking coffee as I read that line, then I snorted the whole lot out my nose.
PerhapsYesNoMaybe
She’s one of those people who has to aggitate to try to distract because she’s too stupid to realize that non-political folks in Russia and in the USA know that they should hold government officials accountable for any harm officials cause. Her attempts at avoiding accountability for her actions aren’t working.

Noteworthy and ironic that the headline uses the rare verb “to valorize” in an article about a high school dropout. Maybe the writer just got out of Sociology class.
Tombear
Boebert is so against a woman’s right to chose. When she was 16 she had an abortion. I don’t get her. Then she got pregnant again. The woman is too stupid to use birth control properly!
BaltoSteve
One of the most interesting things about the cognitive dissonance of the very concept of M@g@ is that if they truly reset the clock on this country, Most of the right wingers in this country would all be on death row for treason.
Tombear
Damn, she had an abortion in high school. She dropped out of high school after she became pregnant a second time. She failed the GED exam three times before she passed it. And this moron makes laws for us?
