Alleged Russian asset and COVID-denier Rand Paul wished his wife, Kelley, a very happy birthday on Twitter over the holiday weekend and, honestly, we’re offended on her behalf.

“Happy birthday to my brilliant and beautiful wife @KelleyAshbyPaul!” the homophobic senator tweeted, along with a suuuper pixelated photo of 59-year-old Kelley on the set of Rupaul’s Drag Race at the 2021 Young Women’s Leadership Summit hosted by the anti-LGBTQ hate group Turning Point USA.

Seriously, why that photo???
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.
Rand and Kelley have been married since 1990 and have three children. They have also survived at least two near-death experiences together.
In August 2020, they claimed they were almost killed when a group of peaceful protestors approached them on their on their way back to their hotel from the White House following Donald Trump‘s 2020 Republican National Convention speech. The couple was flanked by armed police officers the entire time.
And in May 2021, they accused adult contemporary singer Richard Marx, best known for his 1989 worldwide hit single “Right Here Waiting”, of mean tweeting them, which then inspired someone to send a suspicious package to their home in Kentucky. Authorities quickly determined the package was harmless.
I have been targeted multiple times now, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to advocate for violence against me and my family! https://t.co/WhTtswUI91

I got the death threat letter and called the FBI. This kind of violent threat is fomented against Rand daily by @ReallyAmerican1 , a Dem PAC that pays thugs like @mmpadellan to celebrate the assault that nearly killed Rand. @DNC ignores. @richardmarx was inciting more violence

In addition to being married to Rand Paul, which is offensive enough, Kelley is a raging homophobe and transphobe who loves to spout anti-LGBTQ hate on Twitter.
In February, she tweeted her support for transphobic children’s author JK Rowling. In March, she tweeted her outrage over an elementary school in Austin, Texas that held a Pride parade for students on year earlier.

Just last month, she cracked transphobic jokes and spoke against trans athletes during a speech on her husband’s behalf at the Fancy Farm Picnic in Kentucky.
“I wouldn’t expect the Democrats to know what a recessions is,” she said. “They can’t even define what a woman is!”
Here’s how folx responded to Paul’s bizarre birthday message to his wife…
1997 called. It wants its digital camera back. https://t.co/xDwSFxowOy pic.twitter.com/4OLvbvb3In

She’s the one that got busted for insider trading while you were denying COVID. Right?

How brilliant can she be if she is married to you? 🤔

Intriguing that you chose this low-fidelity image of your wife. Could this also be an indication of your low-fidelity behavior toward her, Senator?

She deserves better. But happy birthday!

Kelly Ashby Paul…you hear that name and you see a albino in a snowstorm, that name is as white and straight as possible. But then the question is about the quality of the photo, maybe he was distracted by the pool boy or Jésus the gardener. If I posted a photo of my significant other I would post an image that shows my love and respect. I wonder if he even sleeps with women (having children means nothing)? How close is he to Gym Jordan?

When you find yourself getting the same trolls who support Homophobic politicians, Trump, and anti-LGBTQ hate groups defending you, yes, it probably means you’re a bigot.

what did i get out of her speech? She’s a shit eater, NO DOUBT IN MY MIND. she doesn’t have her own thoughts she just reads the talking points written in diarrhea and then smiles like they were her own thoughts.
kentucky? NO THANK YOU! the turtle and the turtle neck? Ill skip that shithole state.

It’s sad what’s happening to gay kids and that queens like Cam really haven’t bothered to study the issues, do the research or think things through.
So maybe it’s karma that childhood sissies with gender dysphoria – 70 to 80 percent who would figure out they were just gay after puberty if they were left alone – are all being “affirmed,” put on puberty blockers and will end up like poor Jazz Jennings, who after repeated failed surgeries, only figured out now that she will never experience an orgasm.
Europe, where these treatments originated, has changed course, and children with G.D. are to receive exploratory therapy. The U.S., guided by the quack Admiral Rachel Levine, remains under the influence of the multi-billion dollar gender industry.
But hey guys, don’t pay attention to the gay genocide being promoted. Just keep repeating garbage about J.K.Rowling.

Speak to families of trans children. They are not just immediately given puberty blockers and sched for surgery the way Faux News wants you to believe. Families are moving to different states because of the new laws that are preventing their children from receiving the care they need.

Everything Rand Paul does is weird. He is a disgusting excuse for a human and he and his wife should shut up and go away. I hope 3 of their kids come out as trans or gay. It would be poetic justice.

Her speech is just cheap shots and dog whistles. Rand Paul is a bad senator. Why can’t we seem to beat him? I like to think about serious issues like this. Why is it that a really oddball guy like Rand Paul can continue to win elections?
Well, one reason is he knows how to use the cheap shots and dog whistles to great effect. Things like the debacle over admitting women are born with vaginas and no amount of cosmetic surgery and drugs can change that bit us in the rear. I know many of you can’t deal with the reality that trans women are not really women and no amount of mental gymnastics can change that reality. No offense to trans women, but they are what they are, and they aren’t what they aren’t. So, by refusing to admit this, you then become the source of their basis for people like Rand Paul winning elections. The result is not having the majorities we need to actually protect trans people with law.
So, now I expect people to personally attack me instead of discussing the ideas. Another example of how you help us to lose to people like Rand Paul.
