DeSantis thinks his wife should be featured in fashion magazines.

And goes on to say:

“If she were a Democrat, she’d be on every fashion magazine. They would be making her [out] to be the biggest deal. But because we’re conservative, we know that that’s not what will happen.”

Well, Governor, you are the driving force behind decisions and policies that marginalize--if not outright oppress--people across the LBGTQ+ community. Did you think there were no such folks working in the fashion industry?

The difference between the Gay folks employed by fashion magazines and the scared, vulnerable Gay kids struggling to understand themselves in your state is that the "Gays of Fashion" have careers, confidence and clout. You want your wife to be celebrated in the world of fashion and glamour? Then take a note from Randy Rainbow and start "Basking in the Splendor of All Shades and Genders."

What DeSantis and others don't seem to grasp is that the supply and demand theory of economics works in the social world of human interactions, as well. When you insult and demean large swaths of people they withhold approval from you. So don't go all pouty because the fashionistas of the world aren't embracing your wife.

Or you could try to start a Conservative-themed fashion magazine. . . I'm sure that will work out brilliantly.

About Collimator

I love logic and respect feelings. My aspiration here is to engage in reasoned discourse. I believe that Truth Leaks. It may take the time span of a Grand Canyon to wear away at human deceit and denial, but truth always carves its own path.
