    1. I totally agree. McNally should apologize for trying to get the legislature to make something illegal that he, and also good people, have been enjoying for a long time. And, big red flag!! McNally’s call to franklynsuperstar using a “phone ability on certain apps” is probably one of the same phone abilities on certain apps that pedophiles use for extreme personal interaction privacy after they have groomed a target. If McNally were a normal non-powerful citizen the testimony given by franklynsuperstar and McNally’s public internet activity would warrant a subpoena to search McNally’s electronics for child pornography and actual illicit contact with minors.

    2. How is keeping kids out of a hypersexualized show with scantily clad men gyrating in high heels bigotry? I wouldn’t bring my son to a strip club, it’s just common sense. Also, I have no idea how anyone justifies allowing children to alter their bodies permanently before they can vote, join the military, or make any other legal decision for themselves. There’s nothing hypocritical about passing common sense measures to ensure kids’ safety.

  1. You know …..no one cares if he likes a young man….what we do care about is his not allowing others to like what they like..

    1. That’s an ancient story… ABOUT BEING *ONE OF THEM PEOPLE* YOU NEVER CAN CHANGE THEM PEOPLE

      IT’S ANCIENT *RACIST* TYPE OF STORY
      About a person that came up with wealth and power around the enemies..
      His own People had thought he was one of the enemy’s now, but at the end of it all, HE WAS WAS RIGHT THERE WITH HIS PEOPLE
      EVEN WITH ALL HIS MONEY, ALL HE HAD, HE WAS STILL GOING TO BE RIGHT THERE WITH THE PEOPLE HE CAME FROM AT THE END…
      Fighting the whole way,

      as in his own people thought that because the enemy made him wealthy and in power, that he was true to the enemy now
      and his people that he came from thought he would never be treated like he was one of them people again

      BUT AT THE END OF IT ALL HE WAS ALWAYS *ONE OF THEM PEOPLE” IN THE ENEMIES EYES HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN*ONE OF THEM PEOPLE* it wouldn’t matter how much power they gave him or how much money they gave him HE’D NEVER BE ONE OF THEM ..
      AND THAT WEALTHY POWERFUL PERSON FOUGHT THE WHOLE WAY AS THE DRAGGED HIS WEALTHY A$$ TO THE CELLS, WHERE HIS PEOPLE WERE WAITING FOR THEIR WEALTHIEST MOST POWERFUL LEADER TO SHOW UP AND TELL THEM WHAT TO DO .

      HE WAS ALWAYS *ONE OF THEM PEOPLE*

    2. @Lisbet Soda So your against public drag shows (people enjoying entertainment)? you may as well move to Russia

  2. He hates what he longs to be and wants to destroy the people who have courage to live the life he can’t .

    1. The guy is in his 70s. Life wasted by peer pressure, religion and political convictions. His deathbed will be full of tears & regrets. In the meantime the people he could have helped and who could have helped him will continue to suffer social exclusion… change is slow when burdened by those who are too old to benefit from it.

  3. He needs to apologize for his anti-LGBTQA policies. I care a hell of a lot less about the instagrams than I do the hypocrisy and bigotry.

  4. The funny thing that always happens is when these guys pass their horrible bills and then come to find out that one of their children or grandchild comes out gay/lesbian. Or they get outed as having homosexual relationships themselves. It’s unimaginable when a guy like George Santos signed a bill to ban drag when he once made a living from drag. I do not know why they can not live and let others live. Bloody Hypocrites

    1. The problem is they HAVEN’T been living. And they’re pissed off at anyone who is brave enough to do so.

    2. He’s angry as he lived his life inside a Closet, instead of moving to a blue state, so he will make others pay for it even after he drops dead of that heart attack he appears to be on the verge of having….🤷‍♂️🤦🇦🇺

    1. @Trisha  the 20 year old is an adult and can make his own decisions. If he doesn’t want older men commenting and giving him attention, then he shouldn’t post it online. I know plenty of younger adult gay men that are into older men. I don’t think anything is inappropriate. They are adults and can make their own decisions.

    1. I’m sure he knew it but he just didn’t think the medias will ever find him and be on the news‼️😂🤣

  5. Just admit you like it. Just say, “yes, I have these interests, and yes, I am creating legislation to discriminate against others with these same interests”

  6. “I don’t recall reading the part about the weed”
    He literally thought that marijuana was the most unholy part of that then said “I did see the prostitute part”

    how does that even make sense?

  7. McNally thought that if he could disguise himself as a ripe tomato perhaps no one would recognize him in the interview, so he tried that.

  8. The fact that he didn’t bother to deny it was his genuine reactions tells me it is him. It’s puzzling.

  9. Ugh. It’s really sad that people like the lieutenant gov live a lie that hurts others just like them.

    1. Except that the guy was a teen at the time the posting started, as he has been writing for years. But who cares. 🙄

  10. You know how sometimes an overweight person decides to go on a diet and they decide to throw everything they deem junk food out of the house, and won’t allow any family members to bring any of the forbidden food in?
    I feel this is like that.

    1. Blame hypocrite GOP/MAGA FASCISTS, his parents, his cult, and himself for denying his true feelings, true self, for their lies, and for their dictatorship… poor TN Lt Gov.‼️

    2. It’s like that – expect the overweight person secretly is having junk food delivered to their window while they yell at their family for not following the diet.

  11. I am very sorry that I was caught. Never mind the fact that I’m closeted and embarrassed to be the person that I am.
    Please forgive me for lying to myself about the way that I feel about myself.
    If I ban all of these things in Tennessee then I won’t be drawn to these ways.

  12. The fact that it took him 50 years to realize all people have value and he’s got any power whatsoever is the scary part
