Yes, there's more to it than that and it's quite stupid and also quite bigoted. Republicans don't need to know that. They didn't and won't read his book anyway.
Spoiler: He‘s gay.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Unless he’s a fascist republiQan.
That's the part that's wrong, not the gay part.
Um,that Q was for QAnon, not Queer, right? Or are you trying to say being queer somehow makes a fascist republican even worse?
Hahaha - no, its for Qanon.
Words is funny sometimes.
Let's not jump to conclusions... he could be Bi.
So... 8 year old JD Vance instead wanted to eat pussy?
Considering not all straight women want to suck dicks, I don't think the desire to suck dick is a good determinant of whether you're gay or not anyway.
…… it’s almost as if there are subtle nuances to human sexuality that can’t easily be defined by how you enjoy your dick ….
Don't ever expect people who've been brainwashed to notice subtle nuances. Most of them don't even know their candidate is a conman and a rapist.
Especially when you can be both gay and asexual.
Cool can you combine those into gaysexual
Yeah, the type of person you're attracted to and what you want to do with that type of person are two different things.
Shit, I'm bi, and I don't really like the idea of giving oral to any gender. The thought of body fluids in my mouth kinda grosses me out, unfortunately. Makes me happy that people love it, though. The world would be a better place if everyone got to experience their ass getting eaten voraciously. It really is an amazing experience.
Also, if eight year old Vance brought this up with his public school teacher and they gave him the same kind of response (minus the "suck dicks" and "fucking idiot" parts), conservatives would absolutely lose their shit over "grooming"
Considering his grandma followed it up with
He clearly didn't get homophobia from her.
Also, was this his grandmother saying that she knows that SHE'S straight because she wants to suck dick?
TIL J.D. Vance's mamaw likes to suck dicks.
It was when his (step)Mamaw got stuck in the washer that he truly learned he wasn't gay.
I almost did a spit take with my coffee reading this. Wow.
Which is totally fine right? Unless he belongs to some sort of extremist group that base their identity around intolerance, racism and homophobia.. but that's just crazy talk! This guy could be the new VP!

My first thought too.
Every straight person I’ve talked to says they knew they were straight very early on. This goes for me as well. There was a brief moment in my teen years where I asked myself if I might be gay. It lasted about two seconds. The result was negative. There was no way I was going to be gay.
If this dude “convinced” himself he was gay, well, I think he might just be at least bi.
A lot of bi people just decide to only live as straight since they would rather not deal with the social stigmas of any degree of homosexuality
I thought I was gay when I was like 13 or 14 and then never thought of it again, the thought just went away
I still have long hair since that time but have a wife of 10 years ha
Idk, man. There are definitely people I know with a very clear gender identity from an early age. But their were plenty more that weren't so cemented at one pole or the other of the Kinsey Scale.
The problem is fundamentally of definition. Are you simply Bisexual or are you Deluded By Satan Into Having Impure Thoughts?
The answer is entirely rooted in your morality. If you're convinced homosexuality is evil, then of course you're going to feel like any non-straight impulse must be a sin.
Without fail, another anti-LGBT Republican with stories about "sexual confusion" and "the temptation of same-sex relations" that all but confirm that they are queer and closeted.
A coworker of mine once tried to pick my brain on gay marriage say something to the effect of "people like you and I wouldn't be resisting the urge if we didn't know it was wrong". I had to pop his bubble by explaining to him that I had never felt the temptation to be gay ever in my life because I am straight, but if I really wanted dick I'd seek it out because sex is fun and I'll have it with anyone if think it will be mutually enjoyable.
He literally couldn't wrap his brain around the idea that I was completely willing to have sex with any person that struck my fancy, but that men were never even a consideration. He was experiencing the exact opposite.
Needless to say, he's still deeply closeted, but he doesn't bring up gay marriage stuff anymore to me because I think I gave him an ongoing existential crisis. I hope he figures it out eventually...
But statistically, once you're so deep in the closet that you've convinced yourself that everyone wants gay sex, and only "sinners" give into that urge, you're probably not in the path to figuring anything out. Unfortunately, these people always vote for Fascism, constructing the prison that they themselves will be locked in.
It makes me wonder if a "straight people don't have to fight gay urges" PR campaign might neuter a lot of this anti-gay angle. Turn these "inspirational" lies into admissions and use their hate against them.
It's deeply tragic isn't it, how good we are at lying to ourselves?
Can we convince him again so he'll target himself?
Explains the eyeliner
Yes!
He just wasn't repressing hard enough.
What part of the boot does one pull on to increase repression?
That's when you lick the boot.
Grindr has a chance to do something very, very funny
Should we tell him? I think we should tell him.
So, is he...
Fundamentally misrepresenting homosexually as self delusion and a choice, or
A closet homosexual in denial, like so many other homophobes
I guess they're not mutually exclusive.
"I closeted myself and am resigned to a loveless marriage in my pursuit of a political career. Why can't you?"
I think he’s probably trolling in some way? Or maybe this is exactly what some conservatives want to hear, so that’s why he’s saying it. He seems to have learned exactly what to say to make people like him.
This is the same guy who hopes everyone has forgotten that he called Trump "America's Hitler," so he could just be extremely stupid.
I don’t think he’s stupid. Some people who grow up poor develop a talent for knowing how to ingratiate themselves to others. His changing opinion simply means that the target he wants to charm has changed.
More to this he graduated undergrad summa cum laude and got his law degree from Yale. I think this dude is actually smart and that concerns me.
It was part of his memoir written at the age of 22. He was trying to sound cool and clever and add color to his grandmother's character because she asked a 6 year old if he wanted to suck dicks. I wouldn't think too hard about it.
He probably says this to lend credibility to the idea that homosexuality is something that can be "cured" or "outgrown"
It’ll be game over for him if he starts to vogue while on stage with Trump.
How to out yourself without realizing it 101.
I'm going to guess he also grew up in a highly religious household.
If sexuality is a spectrum, he's definitely not firmly on the hetero end.
Right. So self-loathing queer person that has allowed his disgusting, toxic, religion to break his mind.
JD Vance once wrote that he 'convinced myself that I was gay' when he was a kid
And just who is he blaming for that?
Probably liberals and the woke agenda.
Vance is looking to DL party at a log cabin during the convention
Oh yeah, he's gay. Should just man up about it though but he's from the mad at rainbows party.
Nit: the title of the post could simply strike the words "that he" to read much more naturally
I don't disagree, but you have to post the headline the way it was written on the original site. That's a community rule.
Thanks, then I redirect my nit at the article!
His eyeliner still thinks so.
That's just a little manscaping! He's just metrosexual!
Also, he hates drag queens. Don't you dare suggest anything.
The "Hillbilly Elegy" movie sissy hypno scene was crazy. Can't believe they left that in.
I will never intentionally expose myself to that garbage, so I'll just ask... What? I'm curious how that fits into this guy's story.
Ooohhh, we're gonna get a closeted vice president!
So I get it, but that adds further fuel to my idea that Trump is using him to throw him under the bus.
This explains so much about why he hates the gays and believes in "Traditional Family" (a word which here means, female slavery to a man)
