Chatterer Tomi Lahren disapproves of the gays’ pursuit of “arts and crafts, singing, cultural moments…dancing…togetherness”.
Three weeks ago, Federation of Gay Games site inspectors visited Denver as part of this city’s bid to host the Gay Games 2030. Members of the Gay Games Denver 2030 Bid Committee joined with community leaders and elected officials to show off all that the Mile High City has to offer the international LGBTQIA2S+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and Two-Spirit, plus) community.
That’s too long an acronym for some people. “I’m not sure by the time we get to 2030, there might be a few other letters added to that,” screeched Fox News’s Tomi Lahren to host Laura Ingraham on her August 7 show. Despite the dearth of anything new to report about Denver’s shot at hosting the Gay Games five years from show, Lahren thought she’d fill some air time talking shit about that community.
Denver is one of two finalists left being considered as the host city for the every-four-years, ten-day event featuring thousands of athletes of all genders, sexual orientation/gender identity, and athletic skill levels. The competition is now between Denver and Perth, Australia, after Auckland, New Zealand dropped its bid. In 2018, the Gay Games brought an estimated $115 million to its host city of Paris, with 10,000 participants and 40,000 visitors attending. (The most recent Gay Games was diverted to 2023 because of COVID protocols, and split between Hong Kong and Guadalajara, Mexico.)
“It was hard for me to actually find the competition, the sport,” Lahren, once known as “white power Barbie,” told Ingraham. “I thought perhaps it would be sports categories, but really what this is is a giant Pride festival. It’s a lot of arts and crafts, singing, cultural moments. It’s dancing, it’s togetherness, it’s for LGBTQIA-plus.”
