Randy Rainbow Cleverly Slams Antigay Lauren Boebert's Grooming Conspiracies
Randy Rainbow Cleverly Slams Antigay Lauren Boebert's Grooming Conspiracies
The right-wing congresswoman and gay musical comedian exchanged words on Twitter when she invoked his name in a hateful conspiracy theory.
Tuesday night, Lauren Boebert took to Twitter to express her outrage over a teacher in North Carolina using LGBTQ+ flashcards in her classroom (the teacher has since resigned from her position following pushback from a parent).
"A North Carolina preschool is using LGBT flag flashcards with a pregnant man to teach kids colors," wrote the Colorado congresswoman. But she wasn't done -- she also name-checked queer musician and comedian Randy Rainbow. "We went from Reading Rainbow to Randy Rainbow in a few decades, but don't dare say the left is grooming our kids!" she added.

Rainbow saw the post and responded in kind to the unprovoked attack. "Sweetie your homophobia is showing...and for the record, I've had my tubes tied," he tweeted back.

No surprise, Twitter had thoughts on the exchange.
\u201c@RandyRainbow She basically handed you the storyline to make a summer blockbuster parody video...can't imagine what you have swirling in that brilliant mind\ud83c\udf08\u201d— Randy Rainbow (@Randy Rainbow) 1654009730
\u201c@RandyRainbow Be a @RandyRainbow and not a @laurenboebert to make the world a better place for all of us\u201d— Randy Rainbow (@Randy Rainbow) 1654009730
\u201c@RandyRainbow I'm just surprised she knew about Reading Rainbow. She doesn't strike me as a reader.\u201d— Randy Rainbow (@Randy Rainbow) 1654009730
