"The Republican Party's account responded with a picture of Walz waving to a crowd and the words: 'No Queens.' Conservatives have been calling Walz gay for years, despite how he is married to a woman and has never identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community."
"Walz posted a message in support of the 'No Kings' protests that took place in thousands of cities across the country, drawing millions of protestors who wanted their opposition to the current administration heard."
"The joke comes just days after California Gov. Gavin Newsom - who also made his state a trans sanctuary state - has been getting criticism online for making a gay joke about a right-wing podcaster."
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faced derogatory remarks from the Republican Party's official account, which referred to him as a 'queen' after he supported the 'No Kings' protests. This incident reflects a broader trend of using LGBTQ+ identities as insults in political discourse. Walz, an ally of the LGBTQ+ community and advocate for trans rights, has been targeted with such insults despite being married to a woman. The situation follows California Governor Gavin Newsom's controversial gay joke about a right-wing podcaster, further highlighting the political climate surrounding LGBTQ+ issues.
