Joe.My.God. LGBT News
The homocon drag queen who appeared on CNN earlier this month to defend Trump doesn’t know how to feel about his anti-trans edict.
Steve Rothaus reports at the Miami Herald:
Moments after Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday morning that transgender men and women could no longer serve in the military, LGBTQ activists took to social media and denounced the president of the United States — and prominent Miami drag queen Elaine Lancaster.
“And this is the president Elaine Lanfraudster so vocally supports and constantly defends on Twitter. Shameful!” Wire magazine publisher Rafa Carvajal posted on Facebook, angry about Lancaster’s longtime vocal support of Trump. Earlier this month, James Davis — Lancaster’s real-life persona — joined a CNN panel and told viewers that his decades-long career had been “blackballed” for openly supporting the nation’s 45th president.
Wednesday afternoon, though, Davis’ support for Trump didn’t include backing the president’s tweet that “the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S, military.”
“I really don’t know what to say,” Davis told the Herald on Wednesday. “I have to process it. I think he should expand freedoms and equality instead of restricting them. If transgender people want to serve in the military, they should be allowed to. I feel for people who are transgender and currently serving who may be asked to vacate their posts. But I would hope they would be given honorable discharges.”
Davis/Lancaster has long been a fixture at South Florida’s most high-profile LGBT events, but as you see from all the dish at the link, he’s not very well liked these days.
No. The Democratic Party gave us the birth of the KKK. #Fact https://t.co/PJXhNPUw5r
