Failed GOP Candidate's Attempt At Painting LGBTQ+ People As 'Demons' Backfires Gloriously

After QAnoner and failed Republican Senate candidate Lauren Witzke shared a graphic of 'Pride Month' fading to 'Demon,' LGBTQ+ people instead embraced it.

Failed Republican Senate candidate and QAnon conspiracy theorist Lauren Witzke attempt to undermine Pride Month has unexpectedly garnered support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Witzke's post, featuring an image with the words "Pride Month" fading to reveal the word "demon" in rainbow letters, faced strong opposition from LGBTQ+ individuals and allies who embraced the meme, ridiculed Witzke, and highlighted the queer and trans artist responsible for creating the rainbow version of the image.

You can see Witzke's tweet below.

Artist Veya, who uses fae/they pronouns, repurposed the original anti-LGBTQ+ meme in 2021. The initial image, attributed to Christian publisher Sword-In-Hand Publishing's Facebook page, displayed the word "demon" in red letters after the fading of the phrase "Pride Month."

However, Veya transformed the meme into a symbol of empowerment and inclusivity by replacing the red letters with rainbow colors. This artistic reinterpretation gained attention after Witzke's misguided attempt to discredit Pride Month.

In a follow-up tweet, Witzke seemed blissfully unaware of how her tweet would be received, writing:

"Demons can seethe. Christians are DONE taking crap from the LGBTQ Mafia. We're cancelling Pride Month, pouring out your Bud Light, shutting down your Targets, and we're taking back the rainbow."

"We will also stand up for our right to criticize your depravity in court. No more cowarding, no more pandering."

In response to Witzke's tweet, the LGBTQ+ community and its supporters created various parodies and riffs on her post.

These creative and empowering responses not only countered Witzke's message but also highlighted the rejection of her divisive rhetoric.

Numerous individuals also expressed their support by purchasing T-shirts featuring Veya's design, further amplifying the artist's visibility.

Witzke has a extensive track record of targeting and criticizing LGBTQ+ individuals.

In March 2021, Witzke responded to a tweet by diplomat Richard Grenell regarding a trans woman's attendance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) by making derogatory statements, claiming that transgender people are "mentally ill" and "demonic."

Witzke, who previously worked as a host for the far-right conspiracy theory and disinformation website TruNews, also referred to the COVID-19 outbreak that affected the outlet as a "demonic attack." She attributed this attack to the channel's hosting of far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, who identifies as "ex-gay," and referred to him as "Satan's favorite sodomite."

More recently, Witzke expressed her support for Uganda's death penalty for homosexuality, stating that unlike lawmakers in Texas, the Ugandan government recognized the need to prevent any perceived encroachment by the LGBTQ+ community and labeled them the "LGBTQ Mafia."

And While We're On the Subject of Batshit Crazy…

MAGA 'Prophet' Warns Of Technologically Advanced 'Mermaids And Water People' In Bonkers Speech

Amanda Grace suggested 'hand to hand combat' with these supposed 'mermaids' who are spreading 'wickedness' at a far-right ReAwaken America event at Trump's Doral Hotel in Miami.

In a bizarre and bewildering display of rhetoric, a speaker at a right-wing conference hosted by one of Trump's properties embarked on an unhinged rant, delving into the realm of highly technological mermaids and water people spreading "wickedness" throughout society.

The peculiar diatribe was delivered by self-proclaimed "Prophet" Amanda Grace during the ReAwaken America event, which attracted a gathering of American far-right and Christian nationalist attendees at the Trump National Doral Hotel in Miami.

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Grace said:

"I have never seen more images of mermaids and water people in my life. That's a division in the kingdom of darkness and they're highly technologically advanced."

"And we have to understand what we're dealing with. And we have to understand the rules of engagement in spiritual warfare. And we are meant for hand-to-hand combat."

"Darkness has completely eclipsed the White House of this nation."

Predictably, the outlandish nature of Grace's remarks triggered a flurry of confusion, mockery, and the proliferation of memes across various online platforms.

The combination of the highly unusual subject matter, coupled with the passionate delivery, contributed to the audience's bewilderment and subsequent online ridicule.

 

Grace is far from the only self-proclaimed religious "prophet" to align themselves with the MAGA movement.

Last year, author and commentator Rachel Hamm—who at the time was vying to become California's next Secretary of State—claimed that her decision to run for office was predicated on her son's miraculous experience meeting Jesus Christ in a closet with a scroll.

Similarly, Julie Green—who runs the Evangelical Julie Green Ministries—has claimed more than once that God will "bring back" former President Donald Trump to the White House without the need for an actual election.

As of this writing, Green's prediction has yet to come to pass.
