Meghan McCain's 'Happy Pride' Tweet Goes Down In Flames As She's Called Out From Both Sides

Meghan McCain is no friend to the LGBTQ+ community.

Why say that?


Though in public she does performative allyship, she has no record to speak of when it comes to the support of queer or trans people. Her husband Ben Domenech is the founder of The Federalist, a right-wing publication with a long history of anti-LGBTQ+ material, most recently anti-trans material.

McCain is a vocal supporter of the Republican Party which has repeatedly included anti-LGBTQ+ statements in their official party platform. There are GOP initiatives being pushed across the United States attacking the rights, health and safety of trans people.

The GOP was also very vocal in their opposition to the Equality Act. Republican leadership also supports non-church affiliated secular public businesses' and healthcare providers' "right" to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people under the 1st Amendment.

So Meghan McCain's "Happy Pride Month!" tweet fell flat.





But Meghan McCain got hate from the conservative side for her tweet.

The people she claims to represent on The View let her know homophobia and transphobia are core beliefs.




The irony the lip-service gets her no support from the left yet earns her backlash from the right is something that has happened to McCain before.

When she tweeted "Stop Asian Hate"—despite stating former President Trump referring to the pandemic as the "China Virus" and "Kung Flu" was not a problem—she got a similar reaction.







Meghan McCain's support for equality will only be believed when her actions every day match her special occasion posts.

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.
