Gay former Trump official calls Joe Biden homophobic because he didn't pick a gay VP [View all]
Yesterday, former Vice President Joe Biden announced Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate in the 2020 presidential election, and Democrats recognized her as the first Black woman and the first Asian American to be on a major party’s presidential ticket.
But that’s not enough to satisfy gay former Trump administration official Richard Grenell, who accused Biden of homophobia for picking a straight running mate. Grenell’s confirmation has a history of trolling Twitter almost as extensive as his former boss’s.

Grenell served as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany under Donald Trump and for three months as acting director of national intelligence, making him the first out gay person to serve in a Cabinet-level position (even though it’s not a part of the Cabinet).
On Twitter, Grenell accused Biden of believing that “gays are security risks” because “no gays or lesbians even considered” for the position.

While I certainly want to see more queer people in positions of power and not dismissed as "not a minority", this asshole, working for one of the most homophobic, heterosexist administrations in modern history (and that is saying ALOT), made me laugh so hard I almost peed myself!
