Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene began Pride Month with a vile, transphobic tweet. Greene has long aired her deeply homophobic and transphobic views in public, referring to Democrats as groomers and paedophiles for supporting gender-affirming care for trans youth, which she calls a child mutilation industry. She launched a homophobic verbal attack on a lesbian stepmom, saying step and adoptive parents are not ‘real’ mothers. Greene has also called trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney a paedophile, claimed that straight people will be extinct in about four or five generations, and even sold t-shirts mocking mpox, which has particularly affected gay and bisexual men. On June 1, a month dedicated to uplifting LGBTQ+ voices and supporting LGBTQ+ rights, Greene decided to share some extremely on-brand transphobia tweeting, "There are TWO genders: Male & Female! Trust the science!" Greene’s tweet was quickly inundated by replies from LGBTQ+ users and allies, calling the Republican lawmaker out for her apparent embrace of ‘science’ after her personal Twitter account was suspended last year for spreading COVID-19 misinformation. While others simply wished her and other anti-LGBTQ+ haters a very uncomfortable Pride Month.
