Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler fights against kids reading books about same-sex parents in school.
But apparently, parents who record sex tapes are OK!
Florida police have recovered a second sex tape as part of their investigation into a rape allegation made against Bridget’s husband, Christian, who’s chair of the state Republican Party. (Christian continues to hold onto his role, despite being stripped of his authority and $120,000 salary.)
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
The video was obtained after a search warrant was executed on Christian Ziegler’s cell phone and Google account, the Florida Center for Government Accountability reports. It reportedly shows Bridget Ziegler engaging in sexual acts with an unidentified woman.
Back in October, a woman filed a police report accusing Christian Ziegler of rape. She says she was in a longstanding three-way relationship with the couple, and that Christian surreptitiously recorded videos of them cavorting.
The alleged incident occurred October 2, when the woman says he was expecting to have a sexual encounter with both Christian and Bridget. When she was informed Bridget couldn’t make it, she wanted to cancel as well.
“Sorry I was mostly in for her,” the woman texted to Christian.
OUCH!
Undeterred, the woman alleges Christian entered her home anyway, and proceeded to sexually assault her.
It’s unknown whether the same woman is involved in Bridget’s sex tape.
Hypocrisy and shamelessness are the Republicans superpowers.

Don't say gay, just do it and record it!

The Ziegler’s are rising stars in MAGA politics, thinly disguising homophobia as a fight for “parental rights.” Bridget co-founded Moms for Liberty in 2020 along with two other women, pushing for schools to open amidst the COVID lockdowns.
But soon, the group’s attention turned towards attacking LGBTQ+ parents and students. With backing from Ron “Don’t Say Gay” DeSantis, Moms for Liberty turned into a powerhouse political organization, training homophobes to run for school boards all over the country.
The group championed Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation and calls for schools to ban books dealing with race, gender identity and sexual orientation.
Though Bridget hasn’t been affiliated with Moms for Liberty since 2021, she has a seat on Sarasota’s School Board. DeSantis endorsed her for the position, and also appointed her to Disney’s puppet board.
“Bridget Ziegler, we should have her in every county in Florida,” he said in one speech.
But there is at least one county in Florida that doesn’t want Bridget on their school board anymore: Sarasota. In the wake of the allegations against her husband, the board voted 4-1 to request her resignation. Bridget was the only board member to vote “no.”
At a meeting last week, numerous residents spoke out against Bridget’s blatant hypocrisy.
“Most of our community could not care less what you do in the privacy of your own home, but your hypocrisy takes center stage,” said one parent, per the New York Times.
“You have emotionally and psychologically damaged countless students, parents, and teachers with your hateful rhetoric. Resign,” added another.
As the NYT chronicles, Moms for Liberty’s influence is fading. Nearly 60% of the 198 school board candidates endorsed by the group in contested races across 10 states were defeated.
Even Donald Trump and his acolytes appear to be done with them. The GOP front-runner hardly mentions “parental rights” in his unhinged stump speeches.
One Trump ally in Virginia told the NYT that Moms for Liberty’s wars against LGBTQ+ people are fruitless.
“The Moms for Liberty really have to aim their fire on math and science and reading, versus focusing on critical race theory and drag queen story hours,” he said.
“It’s nonsense. All of it.”
We couldn’t agree more.
dbmcvey
Not at all surprising.
The funny thing is, I wouldn’t care if it weren’t for the fact she’s going after LGBTQ+ people. The hypocrisy is ripe.

Just imagine (and then quickly un-imagine) a republican sex tape.

Why is Queerty still publishing articles about X posts? Don’t you realize you’re supporting a hate monger who’d probably like to see us all dead? Do better.

Dear Chicken Little,
Can you please supply some (any) support for your hyperbolic, ridiculous opinion?
Advocating for free speech does not equate the murder of millions.
dbmcvey
Baron. X has amplified NAZIs and White Supremacists who support the murders of Jews, Muslims and LGBT people so, shut up.
Baron Wiseman
@dbmcvapid
You have no idea what you are talking about. Again, sources? Examples?
Is that why Musk recently met with Netanyahu? When was your last sit-down with a world leader?
Who is advocating for the murder of gay people? Names, please.

It is “progressives” advocating for the death and destruction of Israel and Israelis. Jews never had a better friend than conservative Christians.
As usual, you have nothing to add to any of these conversations besides your parroting of the baseless MSDNC talking points. Never an example.
Also, I’m still waiting on those hateful gay quotes from Donald Trump, Melania Trump and Brett Kavanaugh. As usual, you made accusations; back them up. Tick, tock.

Oh, and Mike Johnson has called for the criminalization of gay sex, as have many other of the people you support, so it’s a fine line.

Nice try…well, not really.
You still don’t understand the concept, do you?

Just like your failed attempt at anti-gay quotes from Donald Trump, Melania Trump and Brett Kavanaugh.
As sad as this is, please still enjoy being a victim. I know how much it means to you.

Bring those receipts, dbmcvey! Baronin apparently hasn’t viewed Twitter/X in a while.
That said, it’s still an important venue for LGBTQ folks, etc.
Also, Baronin seems not to grasp that there are Jews who harshly criticize Zionism’s settler colonial ethos and there are Jews who call for the dispossesion and worse of Palestinians. I mean, just go to the West Bank…
Mack
@Baron Wiseman of course you have to show how stupid you are with your comments. Where are your other monikers to agree with you?? Just another right wing troll spreading Christmas cheer with stupidity.
decrans
Alejandra Caraballo? A trans mouthpiece on X? This is why I mostly disregard anything that Dickvaney writes. He just posts crap just to post crap. And half the time he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.

Agreed that the promotion of Twitter is getting weird at this point. They could easily just quote someone or publish a screenshot. Embedding the link is going to drive up traffic, and I’ve been seeing news outlets avoid that.
Mister P
Of course no one is against free speech.
Elon Mush just wants to elevate hate speech. He is not terribly interested in advancing the public discourse.
Baron Wiseman
@Mister P
Again, your proof?
As ugly as it may be, hate speech = free speech.
There are millions who want to limit, censor free speech including our present presidential administration.
dbmcvey
Elon Musk has been reinstating white supremacists who call for extermination of Jews, among other groups and retweeting their comments.
Really Wiseman, this has been all over the news. He apologized but then told people who criticized him to “f*ck off.”
Pull your head out.
Kangol2
“There are millions who want to limit, censor free speech including our present presidential administration.”
Actually, the people “limiting” and “censoring” “free speech” include people you refuse to name, like Ron DeFascist and the Florida legislature, every state that has passed an anti-BDS law penalizing free speech criticizing apartheid in Israel, Republicons in the US Congress who want to penalize students, faculty, including many Jewish people, who are critical of Israel’s brutality in Gaza and the West Bank by penalizing the institutions at which they study and work, and more. Just go to the ACLU and you’ll see how much anti-free speech legislation has been passed so far by the GQP and then perhaps justify your silence about it.

California town proposes ban on Pride, Black and women’s history celebrations
Far-right council members in Huntington Beach introduce agenda item to switch focus to US wars and America’s independence
The southern California city of Huntington Beach, a bastion of conservative voters, has made the move to block diverse monthlong celebrations of Black history, women’s history and Pride, in favor of observing the revolutionary and civil wars, California’s history and America’s independence.
An agenda item introduced on 19 December forbids any programming that pertains to previously established honorary celebrations for women, people of color and LGBTQ+ groups from taking place on city-owned property, including libraries, or of being featured in city communications such as social media posts, according to Natalie Moser, a city council member who voted against the action.

Dear Baron so when people do supply you with proof you just ignore it and focus on another tiny little example of how the republicans love all of us queers. You can nitpick ally like you intel troll but we know the truth. OKAAAAY ms thing tell us again how the dems wavelet us down when they have been the only ones to pass that pass laws to promote gay freedom while the traitors trumps party and the dumbass Bush’s party have tried over and over and over to criminalize gay love and sex so go F Yourself Dear Baron. Dear dear Bro you ned to. go try to find a girl and I say girl because no real woman would ever agree to F you even if they were working women. Still got that cherry rotting away in your nasty underpants

Ok wise ass. Putting Alex Jones back in Twit is not some sort of heroic free speech victory. Alex Jones is a lying blow hard who just wants to profit off of outrageous and hurtful rhetoric.
Neither he nor Mush should be looked at as some sort of hero because he has a huge forum for hate.
The right has taken free speech and religious freedom and made new BS meanings of those terms and then lash out when others don’t buy it.
Baron Wiseman
@Mister P
I am not an Alex Jones fan, but just because you don’t like what he has to say doesn’t mean he doesn’t get to say it. That is not how free speech works. Who are you to decide? It appears you want to ban and censor people you don’t agree with. How undemocratic of you. Even old school liberals believe in free speech!
abfab
Mister P and anyone else who has a heart. We remember Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. This sadness will never go away. Enjoy the year end celebrations. Enjoy Love. Enjoy being Gay. xo
barryaksarben
Alex Jones has nothing to say. HE has proven he has nothing. of any substance to add to society and has harmed. people. that were grieving the brutal murder of their underage children and this pig. succeed his insane followers on them so no I cant decide BUT ELON should show some amount of class or DECENCY not to let him back on. We know what he is saying and stop with your freedom of speech lies like all the other fake free speech warriors on the right like DiSantis who only likes it when they agree with him otherwise he attacks like he did Disney so Baron dear Baron again GO F YOURSELF YOU TROLL INCEL

“The Moms for Liberty really have to aim their fire on math and science and reading, versus focusing on critical race theory and drag queen story hours,” said a Trump supporter.
Yes! Math and science and reading are BAD!
Mister P
Where did I say I want him banned?
I just want you to understand that he doesn’t have anything all that worthwhile to say and putting him in twit is not advancing free speech in any way. Anyone can say that shit.
Baron Wiseman
@Mister P
I agree. I don’t listen to him, but it doesn’t mean he should be banned or censored.
Mister P
The left isn’t banning books.
Baron Wiseman
@Mister P
They should.
Adults should be able to read what they want to read, but limiting pornographic material to children is the prudent thing to do. Little Johnny doesn’t need school library books about taking it up the ass. If you want that for your kids, then get it on your own and not in the school libraries.

The Burbank School District banned ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ Try again.
Baron Wiseman
@decrans
The five banned books were not banned for adults. The parents of the Burbank school district complained that the books were racist. The parents didn’t want their precious little snowflakes to read something that might disagree with their tender dispositions.
So the question remains…do you not ban a classic American novel out of principle or do you take into consideration the morals and values of the community?

This woman isn’t “gay.” Bisexual people do exist. And it’s not even clear if she’s truly “bisexual” because she seems to be doing this stuff for her husband’s enjoyment. It’s more like theater, like she’s performing a character. So I can’t understand why y’all are so quick to claim her as part of our “gay community.”
