https://signorile.substack.com/p/the-powerful-gay-man-behind-tuckerOn his first Fox News broadcast following the November 19th mass shooting at Club Q, the LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs in which five people were murdered and at least 17 were injured, Tucker Carlson was undaunted, continuing his relentless smearing of LGBTQ people as groomers who are dangerous to children.
After a perfunctory condemnation of the violence, Carlson pivoted back to railing against drag time story hour for fifth graders and genital mutilation of minors while a graphic image behind him blared, STOP SEXUALIZING KIDS.
The following night, Carlson promoted the grotesque view that the staff and patrons of Club Q where a drag performance was scheduled on that Saturday night of the attack had it all coming to them. He brought on a guest who said the shooting was expected and predictable, and that it wont stop until we end this evil agenda that is attacking children.
Twisted enough. But even more shocking is the little-known fact that a gay man helped craft, mold and disseminate these bloodcurdling distortions and the horrendous demonization against his own community.
A gay man supercharges Carlsons promotion of Floridas odious dont say gay law, which stigmatizes queer kids, teachers and parents a brutal campaign in which Carlson at one point said teachers who dont comply should get beaten up. And a gay man empowers Carlsons crusade against trans teens and and their parents, a crusade in which Carlson stated that hospitals should expect violent threats for providing gender-affirming care.
