QAnon Rep: “Superman Loves Louis Lane. Period”

Mediaite reports:

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers was roundly derided Monday for a tweet about Superman coming out as bisexual. “Superman loves Louis Lane. Period,” she tweeted. “Hollywood is trying to make Superman gay and he is not. Just rename the new version Thooperman so we can all know the difference and avoid seeing it.”

Okay, so a couple things about that tweet: 1) No typo could have possibly been more ironic than misspelling Lois Lane as “Louis Lane.” 2) The “Thooperman” reference looks like a pretty clear invocation of the “gay lisp” stereotype.

As I’ve reported multiple times, Rogers is her state’s most loony QAnon cultist. And that’s saying something.

Superman loves Louis Lane. Period. Hollywood is trying to make Superman gay and he is not. Just rename the new version Thooperman so we can all know the difference and avoid seeing it.

Louis Lane was once considered as the name of Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons. #True https://t.co/BEHf033JlQ

A gay lisp joke in [checks notes] 2021?
