Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten recently welcomed twins into their family, prompting Buttigieg to go on family leave, which he later used to highlight the need for paid leave for all families in America.

Right-wing media has criticized Buttigieg for taking this time off, and few have been more vocal than far-right Newsmax host Greg Kelly, who also keeps highlighting that Buttigieg is gay.

Last month, Kelly said of Buttigieg's leave:

"People on the other side are talking about it as well because Pete Buttigieg is a man and so is his husband. They did not have to have these kids now. They're not up against any biological clock. Let's be real here, all right? This is a big job. The biggest that Pete Buttigieg has ever had. And now he decides to take the leave, have the kid. He doesn't have to do it."

Now, Kelly is once again suggesting Buttigieg's sexuality is causing him to neglect his duties.

Kelly said:

"How does he get away with all this? I mean, why him? Why does he even have a cabinet job? Why would a small town mayor be taken seriously when he runs for President? Quite frankly, it has to do with his orientation, his sexual orientation. ... Being gay is almost like a full time job."

Kelly's comments were quickly skewered.



Gay people jokingly responded that being gay is, in fact, a full-time job.




Kelly still insists that he doesn't care about Buttigieg's sexuality.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
