Ha the worst rap ever. So she’s pro religious freedom/traditional family aka hate the gays and pro free speech as long as it doesn’t include anyone else’s.
“Oh and not sure how the house of dragons is homophobic. secret would be revealed. But the sequence still amounts to a man, after being approached by a gay man who knows his secret, beating the gay man to death.”
I guess it could be interpreted as homophobic. I just saw the guy as seriously messed up after being rebuffed by the princess and his life being turned upside down.

Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just drop Meghan McCain into a black hole so any mention of her ever escapes again? I know who her father is, and I don’t give a sh*t what she says.
I skipped over the item about her, but I really wish she would just disappear forever.
PLEASE!

House of Dragon just continues the mistreatment of gays from Game of Thrones.

This seems right for Meghan.

Meghan McCain should shut her mouth. Although, on the upside, she didn’t start her comment with “My Father….”

Is Meghan McCain still pretending not to be a homophobe? Please, her money helps fund her husband’s anti-LGBTQ bigoted website.
As for the Rappin Granny, no surprise, the Mormon church has basically decided that Homophobia, Porn, and backing Republicans are the only thing it stands for anymore.
