MAGA has gone off the deep end and now thinks these 5 things are actually gay

One of the oldest tricks in the right-wing homophobic playbook is to call anything remotely feminine “gay.” Having emotions? Gay. Having personal style? Gay. Having female friends? Gay.

If there is one thing you can count on Republicans for, it’s loudly proclaiming, “No homo!”

But with the rise of the MAGA movement, the things they claim are “gay” have only gotten more bizarre. Now, a man having sex with a woman can somehow be spun into homosexuality by people who seem desperate to hold onto a wildly outdated version of masculinity to the point where their arguments become nonsensical.

Conservatives have always delighted in using “gay” as an insult. At this point, it’s a cliche. As anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric has skyrocketed in recent years, and the person holding the highest office in the land makes his disdain for the queer community loud and clear, it’s important to call these things out…and maybe laugh at MAGA a little in the process. Hey, we’re only human!

Giving your wife orgasms, not babies? That's gay.

When political commentator Luke Beasley interviewed a right-wing couple on his YouTube show The Grudge, he was surprised when the husband, MAGA influencer Josiah Moody, said having sex with his wife with the goal of an orgasm and not reproduction is actually gay sex.

“As soon as we’re together, it’s like no birth control, no nothing, because I’m not going to have gay sex,” Moody explained. “Gay sex is more than just another man and a man, it’s just the idea of looking at sex as such a materialistic thing and just like, ‘Oh well, we just have an orgasm, and that’s fun or whatever.’”

Wearing a face mask? That's gay.

At the height of the pandemic, right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren labeled mask-wearing as “gay” while people were dying left and right from COVID-19. Apparently, wanting to protect yourself and your community from a highly communicable disease is super gay.

Are you Tim Walz? That's gay.

During the presidential campaign, Fox News host Jesse Watters “analyzed” Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz’s body language and deemed it too feminine. Watters claimed Walz “waving profusely” was “unsettling” because “men should not move this way.”

He then took things a step forward when he compared the way Walz hugged his wife to how he hugged Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, clearly insinuating that Walz was gay for the presidential candidate’s hubby.

Does sex with a woman feel good? That's gay.

Last year, before conservative “alpha male” influencer Andrew Tate was put under house arrest for allegations of sex trafficking minors and money laundering, he took to X (then Twitter) to announce to the world that he thinks that men who are having sex for pleasure and have less than five kids are actually gay.

“Sex is for making children,” he wrote. “Any man who has sex with women because it ‘feels good’ is gay. Oh my pee pee feels good this is great! In fact if you are 40 with less than 5 children you're probably gay. All that feel-good pee pee sex and hardly any genetic legacy?”

Are you attracted to strong women? That's gay.

A right-wing man on X made a perfectly logical argument when he posted that being attracted to a “strong woman” is peak homosexual behavior.

“Wanting a strong woman is a sign of homosexuality,” @hxtman_ wrote. “Any masculine man was a submissive woman.”

That’s what it always seems to come back to. Not just a hatred of homosexuality but a hatred of independent women too.
