        He’s not a real gay. His gay card was revoked a long, long, long time ago. I heard his husband is a suspect in the murder of the model he had as a ‘kept boy’.

    So he’s a heavily closeted Republican bigot who’s secretly hyper-gay and hates himself for it? Cool, I guess.

    “I really need you to understand that while I am mugging you, I don’t enjoy onions. I think it’s very important you don’t judge me as someone who could enjoy onions. Now hand over the damn wallet or I kill your wife”

      I simply don’t believe that in today’s lexicon that gay covers a person that is sexually attracted to couches, hence he’s not gay.

      But no, I really don’t give a crap what he has sex with, only that he’s a weird little asshole that’s dangerously close to power.

      I don’t have strong feelings either way, but his eye liner is a little too on point for a straight guy.

    I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell."

    He addressed his feelings with his grandmother (affectionately known as “Mamaw”) who answered him in curiously salty language, considering she was speaking to a child.

    “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?” she asked him.

    When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

    “JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.

    The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”

    “Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”

    This is not like the couch-fucking thing. This really is in Hillbilly Elegy.

    I have never really had the desire or the need to prove I was not gay to anyone. Ok well maybe my wife but that’s it.

    You know, for a guy that literally only got where he is because he can convince people that a pile of shit with a sheet over it is clean, he’s really bad at convincing everyone he’s straight.

      I mean, it’s no “Josh Hawley kissing his wife” levels of bad.

    Fuck Vance and he might be closeted what with all the other things as well.

    I just disagree with the implication that straight people can’t play around with gender.

      Yeah, I didn’t think he was gay until he, unprovoked, felt the need to assert that he’s not gay. 🤔

        Exactly. The last time I felt it necessary to clarify my sexuality, it was because some girl asked me if I would be good to take with her for clothes shopping. I replied that “while I am actually an excellent shopping companion, because I will find stuff that looks great on you, that you overlooked, to answer the question you very pointedly didn’t ask, no I’m not gay.”

        The look on her face was, as MasterCard says, priceless. She was shocked that I knew what she was asking, and that I wasn’t at all offended. I think it was all the theater, choir, and swim team in high school, but I have pinged people’s gaydar since middle school, and I couldn’t care less, now that I’m big enough that they don’t bully me physically for it.

      This has the most legendary cameo at the end for the punchline.

      Never Stop Never Stopping is super underrated. Can’t believe it’s already 8 years old.
