Video has emerged of a candidate for the Oklahoma Senate railing against Pride Month and blasting the sight of two men kissing as “disgusting”, “despicable” and “gross”.
Jarrin Jackson is one of four candidates contesting the GOP Primary for Senate District 2. The Christian nationalist is very much a fan of America First politics.
You can check out the video below.
Christian nationalist Oklahoma GOP state senate candidate Jarrin Jackson is not a fan of Pride Month: “Straight dudes find it disgusting whenever they see other dudes kissing. It is gross. Being gay is gay. It’s the most disgusting, despicable, stupid, thing ever.” https://t.co/X3HMQmRBrp pic.twitter.com/7mvaQncmad

He begins by noting, “Pride Month is in full swing … I think it would be deliciously ironic and eternally entertaining if God comes back today, gets us up out of here, and then burns the whole place down. It would be amazing.”
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.
He then goes on to say most people think homosexuality is “disgusting.”
“People find it disgusting, especially straight dudes, straight dudes find it disgusting, whenever they see other dudes kissing. It is gross! Being gay is gay. It’s the most disgusting, despicable, stupid thing ever. Insert barf emoji.
“And yet we’re supposed to celebrate this?” he says, laughing. “We’re supposed to treat it like it’s normal? It ain’t normal.”

It’s not clear when or where the original video was posted.
However, it’s not the first time Jackson has posted disgust about Pride. On Sunday he posted a rather violent image of someone being hit in the face by a rainbow.

Last week he posted a bunch of homophobic memes.

On his campaign website, Jackson describes himself as a “born again Christian, family man, combat veteran, and sixth-generation Oklahoman.” He graduated from West Point in 2008, and served in Afghanistan, before being honorably discharged in 2015.
He and his wife Katie live south of Claremore, where they homeschool their three children. Jackson recently “authored and self-published the Live Local Field Manual to train Americans on organizing and responding to escalating tyranny in the wake of the stolen 2020 elections.”
Among his campaign priorities, he claims “Sexual ‘liberation’ and Darwin’s lie of evolution have misled an entire generation of Americans to believe that God does not exist and that degenerate sexual behavior should be accepted.”

Online, Jackson’s comments prompted plenty of eye rolls.
I think he’s overthinking this…And there is a thing about “doth protest too much” going on.

It sounds to me like Jarrin Jackson is dealing with a few “feelings” and “thoughts”.

Yet, for some reason, they usually seem to get off on seeing two WOMEN kissing.
So it’s not about being gay.
It’s about their sexual fantasies…and fears.As in, a guy who’s bigger than me could rape me.
Never mind that women live with this fear every moment of their lives.

The weird thing is that once those of us who were raised to think that being gay is abnormal actually see gay relationships and get accustomed to them, they don’t seem that strange to us.
Except, mostly, for people who are closeted themselves. Those folks can’t seem to adjust.

The idiocy continues to multiply!
Jarrin Jackson, a Christian nationalist running for a seat in the Oklahoma State Senate, is calling for God to “burn the whole place down” because of Gay Pride Month.

AZ State Senator Wendy Rogers is among those to endorse Jackson.
The Republican primary for Senate District 2 is on June 28, 2022. Jackson is up against three other contenders: Keith Austin, Coy Jenkins and Ally Seifried. The seat is currently occupied by Republican Marty Quinn, but he’s giving it up to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives.

I really think if someone believes whole heartedly that “god” is real and coming to kill off all those you profess to hate, you should immediately be disqualified from ever holding public office.

As a veteran I wonder how he treated any enlisted men he “led” who he knew to be gay, especially after Sept. 2011 when Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed.
Chrisk
I was just thinking what is it that effects him so much. I mean he has such violent fantasies of killing people that don’t effect his life even 1%. That is unless….. I’ve always said we have more to fear from guys like this aka closet cases then actual secure straight men.
Also, psychology and sexuality is a little right wing wack site that no one pays attention to except shitheads like this.

Meanwhile, sane people find his ‘overalls and unkempt beard’, Duck Dynasty-inspired sartorial choices to be the ‘disgusting’ thing, here…

He served with gay troops. I wonder how he treated them. Maybe there’s a reason this West Point graduate only lasted 7 years.
jcool
if i was more tech-savvy i would hack his campaign website and put gross gay kissing pics on its home page. every day. lol

POS Christian, like most of them.

West Point failed at educating him.

“Being gay is gay.” Well, damn. He’s got it all figured out.

Google him and you’ll see that he likely enjoys puttng his ugly face up our last ”president’s” crackhole. He’s a family man! (yeah, the Manson family)

The “lie of evolution.” Ugh. Shame on the colleges awarding degrees to imbeciles. When everyone has a Bachelor degree, then it doesn’t mean anything anymore. That’s why so many people feel the need to double major, or major and minor, or go to grad school for a Master.
This story reminds me of one of the other Republican candidates who graduated from a different military college. Turns out his thesis was just a wild conspiracy theory, and he got a degree anyway. These fools should’ve been stopped in their tracks back in 7th grade. If schools were operating better, we wouldn’t be exposed to these idiots.

You know. I’ve never met a disgusting gay man, only disgusting straight men. Disgusting isn’t attractive, and Gay men know that. That’s why so many are so good looking.
