Coming hot on the heels of right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' rant claiming mens' penises are disappearing, Georgia Republican Representative and QAnon adherent Marjorie Taylor Greene is warning her followers straight people are going extinct.
In a bizarre rant during her streaming show MTG: Live, Greene asserted without irony in "four or five generations" everyone will be LGBTQ+.
Greene is fairly obsessed with LGBTQ+ people—especially trans people—and has made attacking them a cornerstone of her political career.
Greene's weird rant is just the latest right-wing tirade about the increase in self-declaring LGBTQ+ people in recent years, which many on the right seem to believe is a scam.
See Greene's take on the matter below.

According to those who study the matter, the number of out LGBTQ+ people has doubled in the last 10 years, mostly due to the U.S. having become a more tolerant place for LGBTQ+ people both culturally and legislatively.
That tolerance and acceptance has certainly eroded in recent years, however. Greene is one of several poster children for anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and attacks.
Like many of her MAGA minion colleagues, Greene seems to think the uptick in LGBTQ+ is a conspiracy of some sort.
She told her legion of followers:
"They just want you to think that all of a sudden the entire population is steadily turning gay or turning trans,"
"Just generation, generation. Probably in about four or five generations, no one will be straight anymore."
"Everyone will be either gay or trans or non-conforming or whatever the list of 50 or 60 different options there are."
Greene then finished her absurd rant with a call for violence against LGBTQ+ people, saying a show of force against them is "'exactly how we need to stand up' against them in society."
On Twitter, many people were alarmed by Greene's rhetoric and pointed out the obvious absurdity of her points.
She recieved over 15,000 more votes in her primary than Marcus Flowers the Democratic primary winner. Its not just her. Its also the people who vote for her.#VoteBlueIn2022 pic.twitter.com/lfSJUD2qm9

Gay people existed in Old Testament times and the population of humanity has added a few billion people since then. There’s no risk of human extinction if gay people enjoy the freedom to pursue their happiness in life.

what’s the issue with that exactly? that would greatly help with overpopulation, food shortages, and global warming + it would give lawmakers an excuse to pass some damn civil rights legislation

dang I hope people in the next few generations can feel free to openly identify as their true selves like that
I hope acceptance is so widespread that everybody can feel free to be their true selves rather than having to conform to cisnormative and heteronormative identities https://t.co/1zX32K9B7i

Straight white people sure like screaming about how they're victims while straight white people are passing laws that restrict the lives of minorities and members of the LGBTQ+ communities.
Racists and hate mongers like MTG will keep stoking these fears of the weak and pathetic. https://t.co/A1WS317PXM

Greene is among the most virulently anti-LGBTQ+ people in Congress.
She recently promised fellow crackpot Alex Jones that if re-elected she will propose a federal-level "Don't Say Gay" bill and has insinuated that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is a sexual predator.
