You have to see and hear it to believe it. Some night see this article as highlighting the lunatic fringe… but it’s actually the mainstream left at this point. Take a gander at this clip from a recent mayoral candidate debate in San Francisco.
Mayor and candidate London Breed asks candidate Mark Farrell to show his fealty to the cult of LGBTQ+ by naming three drag queens from the city to prove his “street cred” in supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
Apparently, this is the second time in as many weeks that Breed tried to corner Farrell for insufficient enthusiasm about men in dresses. At the first mayoral debate the week prior, Farrell “couldn’t” name his favorite San Francisco drag queen. Their names are so absurd he probably could’ve said anything, like “Sister Princess,” and it would’ve been believable. And for anyone who doesn’t believe me, there’s a drag queen named “Sister Gay Bitch Milkshake” – so yes, anything really would do.
At the second debate, Breed said, “You were at the debate last week and couldn’t name any drag queens on your own.” She then offered Farrell a “chance to redeem” himself by naming three “LGBTQ advisors for [his] campaign,” and then three drag queens from the city by the bay.
Farrell responded predictably by trying to burnish his LGBTQ credits. Farrell said he, a straight white male, put forward city legislation to reimburse gay couples who were taxed by the federal government on their health insurance benefits. “I’m incredibly proud of the support I have from our LGBTQ community,” he said.
You have to feel for a candidate like Farrell a little, even if you’re watching the performance with secondhand embarrassment. No one who wants to get elected in a place like that has much choice but to kowtow to the “queer” community. But do you have to say things like “I’m super pro-LGBTQ,” Mark? As the kids say, “cringe.”
Twitter/X users, of course, have no such loyalty.
Paul questions mayor Breed’s priorities:
User Alan Sea got a laugh out of this writer:
Maybe Farrell should hire J. Perry to write his speeches—Perry sounds like a crowd-pleaser!
Admitted: we’re closing with this one just because it’s naughty.
