Anti-LGBTQ+ slur-shouting Kid Rock will headline gay Republican event

In another bizarre attempt to “own the libs” just by confusing them, openly anti-LGBTQ+ performer Kid Rock has been enlisted to headline a fundraiser for the self-loathing Log Cabin Republicans, the gay conservatives group.

The onetime Detroit rapper-now MAGA acolyte will headline the fundraiser “Red White & Rock,” the LCR announced over the weekend. The gay conservatives billed the event as a “star-studded concert uniting conservatives and celebrating American spirit.”

The high-dollar event takes place in Nashville on September 29, with special guests Richard Grenell, Donald Trump’s out, onetime acting director of National Intelligence in the last, chaotic days of the twice-impeached president’s administration, and forever-fiancé Kimberly Guilfoyle, who’ll serve as emcee of the event, if never Donald Trump Jr’s bride.

First rule of Log Cabin Republicans, you must have a humiliation kink to join.

Another option: a total lack of self-awareness coupled with narcissism.

When confronted, mumble something about lower taxes, then go back to being happy that bigots now focus on trans people rather than gay people.

For the finale, he's going to call everyone a F***** and then sledge some Budweiser like Gallagher.

Gallagher, another mildly famous nutjob.

Although he was admittedly more fun to watch in concert than kr

I saw him once, well before he'd gone off the rails, but when he was definitely past his peak. Probably ... 1988? It was a fun show.

I'm ootl on this one. How did Gallagher get off the rails?

Went full maga. Mostly after he won his court case against his brother, Gallagher II. While he won, his whole family essentially stopped talking to him, his comedy failed to keep up with the times while he kept doubling down on things people no longer found funny. Then he walked out of that Marc Maron podcast like a pissbaby.

Just read about the case because I was kind of interested figured I'd share

Apparently his brother Ron had his own comedy show dubbed himself Gallagher II even though he was not Gallagher II

I assume the family side with Ron wanting a second shot in ancestral money and fame and Leo was still too salty that is unchanging act throughout the years was no longer bringing in the bucks and refuse to let him use his name as a springboard

And remember, he (Gallagher 2) had an agreement with Gallagher to do old Gallagher material he didn't use anymore in his Gallagher 2 performances. And they did it to fuck over carrot top too.

Then he walked out of that Marc Maron podcast like a pissbaby.

Ohh I might have to check this out.

Theatre kid here. A friend of mine was tech director at a local theartre, a converted 'show palace' style place, really beautiful. Anyway, I remember him campaigning HARD against them booking Gallagher in the early 2010's, because he had played a show there about a decade prior and had evidently made it his goal to create as much of a mess for the crew as possible. Purposefully aimed chunks of fruit he was throwing around at lighting instruments to gunk them up, etc. Evidently, the universal sentiment among everyone who worked that show was that Gallagher was a dick.

I'm sure. I was a dick back in '88, that's probably why I thought it was a fun show.

Honestly more like "Red White and CUCKED". Conservatives hate you. Donald Trump hates you. Kid Fucking Rock hates you. This self flagellation is pathetic, take the blinders off. The right wing is not a safe space for LGBTQ and it never will be

Kid Rock is the human version of an above-ground pool.

Kid Rock makes music targeted at people who know just how many boxes of sudafed you can buy at once.

Kid Rock's music is the soundtrack for copper theft.

I was listening to Kid Rock in my car the other day and stole my own catalytic converter.

Bro... The fuck... This comment nearly killed me. Totally stealing this and using it for other things, lol.

That headline rules.

Looks like a lot of fun. For people who don't know what fun is.

‘Course, he’s one of two artists that agreed to even be there.

He probably costs less.

On brand for them.

It really is—support the people who hate you in a vain attempt to get a special exception for being "one of the good ones."

Most likely is secretly gay or bi.

Most likely is he's very openly a fucking asshole, to your point an open asshole but I think we're on the same wavelength

The onetime Detroit rapper-now MAGA acolyte will headline the fundraiser "Red, White, and Rock"

Definitely sounds cooler than "White Republicans and Kid Rock"

No matter how many times Republicans fight to revoke their rights, or disinvite them from their conventions, they just don't learn Republicans would Holocaust them if they could.

All for what? Because they're literally more passionate about tax cuts/cheats for rich fuck societal leeches than their very existence being protected in society.

Crazy really doesn't have a gender or a sexuality. Crazy just stands on it's own.
