    LGBTQs don’t mind being called weird though. Normal is the insult. To be normal is to be boring. Normal people don’t make history.

    Only people who strive to be normal would find weird insulting.

    It’s a weird take by NBC News.

    Republicans didn’t “turn it on LGBTQ people”, but that’s what NBC is trying to do through their weird take and dissemination; while trying to take the heat off their masters.

        Pretty sure the only thing embracing Vance are couches.

        And I’m pretty sure that’s non-consensual.

    As a queer sideshow (“freakshow”) performer, I absolutely love and embrace my weirdness. Bring it and I’ll send it back threefold.

    Uhhh…that’s the lamest comeback ever The word “queer” literally means “weird”.

    Republicans: “LGBTQ people are weird!”

    LGBTQ people: “Thanks.”

      The original connotation was fun too. Queer was typically used to refer to the uncanny, inscrutable, and arcane. A non-zero chance of danger was implied, since you could not predict what you did not understand. It’s a nice reminder that understanding dispels fear.
