Well, she’s at it again, folx!
Megyn Kelly is once again attacking queer people on her Twitter page, calling them “lunatics” and urging her followers to “fight this nonsense.”
The failed TV morning host retweeted an article published by the conservative media outlet Hot Air about how medical schools have begun denying biological sex, and how faculty are being policed, and how “wokeness” has become an “existential threat” to medicine, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
“It’s all hands on deck to fight this nonsense,” Kelly tweeted yesterday. “Ignoring/laughing at it has not worked – these lunatics are winning.”
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.

We won’t bother summarizing the article because it’s mostly just a bunch of anti-LGBTQ bullsh*t that doesn’t cite any sources or offer any actual information beyond vague insinuations made by some woman named “Lauren”. But we will offer a quick roundup of responses to O.G. Karen’s tweet.
Here’s what folx are saying…
Really? What is your issue with this Megyn? Why are you on this crusade? I certainly hope it’s not because one of your precious children has shown they may not be conforming to their physical identity? Or are you just trying to stir up fear and therefore rage?I truly want to know

Read the article Megyn. It’s unsubstantiated and based on one persons claimed memory.
— From the Home Office (@cldala) July 27, 2021
Well,Megyn, hotair .com and an anonymous letter are not exactly solid sources and there’s a difference between teaching that biological sex doesn’t exist and using more inclusive language. Try to apply some nuanced thinking once in a while.

An article from “Hot Air” without a mention of a specific school or professor. Very credible 😏

Ignoring/laughing was never the answer. It’s no surprise you have no idea how to meet this moment.

You don’t trust doctors anyway, say not to get vaccinated. Why do you suddenly care about doctors education?
— doctor (@doctorofinfo) July 27, 2021
More cherry picking of isolated incidents that will likely have little to no impact on the arc of history. And from reputable publications like ‘hot air’ whatever that is. Nice job being a cynical propagandist @megynkelly

Earlier this month, Kelly told Business Insider that she left NBC in 2018 because it simply wasn’t “intellectually stimulating” enough for her and not because the network fired her for making racist remarks in support of blackface.
Evidently, hard-hitting non-investigative pieces written by bloggers employed by a website that peddles baseless conservative conspiracy theories are more her speed.

Hey Gays4Sphincter, another of your heroes really REALLY hate you guys. #SadMAGAts
GrizzleyMichael
She is just jealous of all us fabulous insane queer people
whatsaywhat
Meggyn has always seemed seemed a bit, well, “mannish” to me.
Closet trans trying to deflect attention is a better bet.
TimberWolf
Only proves how she will go to any lenght for news attention. Just by her actions over the years proves she do anything and say anything to get power and attention. Her actions show she is a menance in the media. What a true face of ignorance. New media reporting. she failed.
Cam
Now that she’s realizing no media is jumping to hire her she’s hoping being outrageous and upping the bigotry will get her attention.
GreekKeys
Transexualism isn’t gay people. So… fix your headline. Stop telling gay people they’re being attacked when they’re not.
ShiningSex
Transpeople ARE OUR PEOPLE YOU MORON.
If they are attacked, so are we. If you don’t see that, you’re just as ignorant as she is.
Cam
I see MissTerri, Openminded, Heywoodyablowme, etc. is here under this old screenname.
You right wing trolls, the only thing you hate worse than Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual people is Trans people or Black people.
Your trolling is sad and boring.
leshawnjackson96
We gay people really do have a responsibility to support trans rights, but you’re right that the headline is incredibly inaccurate. Megyn was attacking certain types of students/activists, not queer people in general.
Mattster
The name of the site you are visiting is QUEERTY. Queer is an umbrella term reclaimed from oppressors to refer to basically all sexual and gender minorities. I for one will not be silent while a portion of the spectrum is vilified, used as a fascist talking point to whip up hysteria, and told what bathrooms they can use.
The alternative is to stand by and do nothing, even though the same oppressors picking on the trans and their allies today will gladly pick on the rest of the LGBTQ tomorrow. You attack one of us, you attack all of us.
Hank31
The replies here are interesting. Note how they rely on contrived language in order to justify the misleading and inaccurate story. One reply is essentially that a bunch of letters were put together, so therefore Kelly is actually attacking gay people, even though she isn’t. IOW, language determines reality.
Another reply is that “queer” is an “umbrella term,” so therefore it is OK for the author to be inaccurate in his reporting. Even if “queer” were an umbrella term (and it is not accepted as such by 94-99% of LGB people, according to multiple surveys), its use would still be inappropriate in the context where only one subgroup is the focus of the controversy. “Queer” becomes an instrument of obfuscation, not clear communication.
This is the point of “LGBT” and “queer.” To confuse and obfuscate and ultimately to coerce LGB people into thinking and acting in ways which are contrary to our interests.
Cam
@Hank31
Same old right wing troll account switching screennames to try to back up it’s original post.
BlaqueCatt
Agreed.
Mister P
She must really want back on faux news.
Mack
I was thinking the same thing. Either Faux News or one of those extreme right wing idiots shows. She might be getting pretty hard up because if you’re off TV for a while they have a tendency to forget you.
Mr. Stadnick
She has entered the wonderful world of has been. It’s time for her to try to get on Dancing with the Stars and following her hate filled crony Caitlyn to reality shows in other countries.
She will be desperate for a while saying outrageous and insane things hoping to get her name in some media outlet’s piece. Funny how you don’t see her being quoted on major media.
IWantAFullBeard
So? Who cares what she has to say? She isn’t very smart.
ShiningSex
She honestly has nothing going for her, so she’s reaching out to any ignorant folks that will listen to her craziness.
ted
A real fvcking qunt of POS.
msfrost
LGBT, people are defined by the AMA and the APA, as normal and natural. She is unqualified, to make any medical or biological claims, for any such definition!!!!
Prowelsh56
worthless unless you are an idiot. Does she still have a job?
SFMike
She’s just desperate for attention and is using the well worn Fox News outrage tactic to try and become relevant again. She isn’t and needs to get a real job.
leshawnjackson96
Graham really needs to stop lying to his readers. Whatever you think of Megyn Kelly (I’m not a fan) or the article she’s referencing, it is not queer people she is calling lunatics in her tweet. It’s the students/activists, queer or not, who are supposedly policing instructors at medical schools. Moreover, Graham does his best to hide the fact that the original article referenced by Hot Air was written by a queer woman (Katie Herzog) and hosted on the Substack of another queer woman (Bari Weiss).
Cam
@ leshawnjackson96
Except you’re lying. The article talked about how professors were using newer language. That is the article Kelly was referencing. But its cute that you, the same old right wing troll with a new screenname, STILL tries to use the “I’m not a fan of Megyn Kelly, BUT…….” line.
Your troll game is still sad and weak.
leshawnjackson96
@Cam
It’s really sad that you take any criticism of Graham’s shoddy “journalism” as an inherently right-wing perspective (I’m socialist, for what it’s worth). The headline and article were outright lies designed to generate clicks and outrage, and any deeper reading of the situation makes that clear. Whatever you think of Megyn Kelly, it is not queer people she is attacking here.
What’s happened is that you’ve identified this bad journalism as representing “your side” and will defend it even though it’s completely untrue. In doing that, you’ve become just as closed-minded and reactionary as the online right-wingers you pretend to be so different from.
Kangol2
That blond hair and those blue eyes have gotten this brainless witch very far, much too far. She could stand to remove herself from public life permanently given she never has anything thoughtful or positive to say and instead is constantly embarrassing herself as a homophobic, racist imbecile. Oh wait, she thinks that’s a winning formula. As I said, she’s brainless.
Jon in Canada
What nonsense. No reputable medical school is teaching that biological sex is a social construct, they are however, correctly teaching that gender and gender identity can be/are a social constructs.
As for the rest of her idiocy, I choose to ignore it, it’s not as if she really matters anymore (she never actually did).
cuteguy
Bish is cray. Or she’s just looking for attention. Or both

She’s F ing cray cray. Delusional, severe dissociative disorder. Malignant narcissistic personality disorder, sociopath with psychotic behavior. They put down rabid dogs, don’t they?

Megyn who?
Invader7
Who?
Hank31
Megyn Kelly is vocally pro-gay and pro-gay rights. This story is obviously about transgenderism and trans activism, not about gay or LGB people. The author deliberately refers to “queer people” in order to create the false impression that Kelly was talking about something more than trans activist craziness.
Den
The article linked to below hardly presents Kelly as “pro-gay and pro gay rights”. Quite the contrary. And your defense of her implies a questionable agenda on your part. And it is very clear to anyone with a functioning brain that those to whom she appeals see trans people, gay people and everyone else of unconventional identity as queer in the worst possible sense of the word.
You are either dissembling and mendacous or a dullard.

@Den
You didn’t link to an article about Kelly’s supposed anti-gay beliefs. You linked to an activist organization’s (GLAAD) complaint about a particular interview segment regarding a legal case. GLAAD objected to the interview of the defendant, with no interview from the other side.
At no time does GLAAD even allege that Kelly herself agrees with the interviewee or holds “anti-gay” views.
In fact, Kelly and her producers listened to GLAAD’s complaint and, a short time later, did another segment about the same case, to GLAAD’s satisfaction. On 12/26/17, GLAAD states:
“Last Friday, Megyn Kelly’s producers made the right move and hosted the couple at the heart of the case, David Mullins and Charlie Craig, as well as their ACLU lawyer, on Kelly’s hour of TODAY, giving them time to tell their compelling story of discrimination at what was supposed to be one of the happiest moments in their lives. . . . Kelly also affirmed the importance of non-discrimination laws during the segment, and acknowledged the illegality of discriminating against LGBTQ people, even as she suggested that individuals struggle at times with how to hold this in concert with their religious beliefs.”
Cam
@Hank31
Translation: After backlash, Kelly’s PRODUCERS tried to correct the issue.
But it’s cute how you’re on an LGBTQ site and yet try to say that an article isn’t valid because it was put out by an “Activist organization”.
So you’ll attack LGBTQ groups but rabidly defend Kelly. Hmmm, could it be because you were exposed as the same old right wing troll on a different thread a while ago?
Your troll game is sad and weak no matter what screenname you’re under.
inbama
As Hank31 says, the article has nothing to do with LGB people, so it’s absurd to call it “homophobic.”
It is about “wokeness” entering medical schools where trans students are claiming any mention of biological sex to be “transphobic” and are reporting professors attempting to teach them biology as bigots.
I’m no fan of Kelly’s, but the article appeared on the blog of respected journalist Bari Weiss.
The reason author Graham Greemore says “we won’t bother summarizing the article” is because he doesn’t want you to know what it’s really about and knows most of you will simply react to his mischaracterization and not bother to read it. We’re not being informed – we’re being played.
Cam
Ugh, not only does the same old right wing troll always come in to defend it’s comments under other screennames it often tries the “I don’t like Kelly BUT….” Dodge.
You’re just REALLY bad at this.
djhachey2020
Actually I’m gay but across this I also have non binary gender nonconforming you may call me they/them for those of you who said this isn’t a gay issue hello I’m knocking on this keyboard wishing it was your damn forehead ,right now…. LGBTQIA+ people comes in all shapes and sizes and all genders and affirmations, if you don’t support your trans brothers and sisters or your non binary brothers and sisters go and educate yourself about all of the trans people that fought for your rights back at Stonewall and right up until this day are still fighting alright, this is exactly what I don’t like about snide little ******* queer men who can’t ******* think about anybody else but themselves, there’s a reason that we’re called the queer community and that includes trans people shame on you!
Hank31
Just because you employ terminology which lumps gay people with other disparate groups doesn’t make this article about gay people. It is not about gay people. Kelly has nothing to say about gay people in this context. This is 100% about transgenderism and trans activism.
“LGBTQ+” is not a description of an actual people group. It’s the manipulation of language to regulate and restrict thought about trans and other issues, and to impose burdens on LGB people. It’s true that some transgenders are LGB, but every group on planet Earth has LGB members.
Cam
@Hank31
Sweetie, you’re the same old right wing troll that defends anti-LGBTQ bigots, hates Black people, and is especially enraged by Trans people.
You aren’t clever and your troll game is tired and boring.
djhachey2020
And by the way some trans people identify as homosexual even identify as gay so regardless it’s homophobic but hey you guys go ahead and keep policing articles ’cause you know you could be out actually doing something and being active and being part of the message but instead you need to sit here and comment on trans issues when you’re not trans I don’t care how gay you are if you are not trans or don’t identify as the gender that you weren’t biologically assigned at birth then you can sit down and let the trans people talk or support them or literally take a damn seat
Cam
For those that need a selfish reason to defend Trans people, how about this. The Republican bigots are only going after the now because their attacks on Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals weren’t getting as much bang for the buck.
Don’t think for a second that if they successfully get rid of trans rights, that they won’t come for everybody else in the next move. The biggots, as is shows by the same old troll we get on here, hate everybody.
iggy6666
8 out of 42 comments are yours just on this article alone…. whining about trolls and screen names as per usual…. Now that truly is TIRED AND BORING .
SWEETIE, GIVE IT A REST ALREADY!!!
I’ll save your need to respond.
CAM- Watch as the right-wing troll tries to deflect from the actual article, bark, bark, bigot, bark, bark, obsessed with me, bark, bark, Nice try sweetie, bark, bark Nice try!
HenryHawke
Will someone tell this ignorant “b” to please sit down and shut the “f” up. Every time Megyn Kelly opens her mouth, she proves to the world just how ill informed and uninformed she actually is. She’s an embarrassment to her party and the nation.
