Can you imagine thinking you know better than another person about how they should live their own life? That your authority somehow overrides their autonomy, their choices, their experience? It’s a bizarre hill to die on — and yet, MAGA influencers climb it daily with a megaphone in hand.

Enter Benny Johnson. MAGA mouthpiece. Propagandist. Former BuzzFeed plagiarist. Self-proclaimed alpha male. And now — alleged star of his very own gay scandal. You can’t make this up, but apparently, Benny already did.

This is the guy who smeared Michelle Obama by suggesting she was secretly born male. (Because attacking someone’s identity is easier than forming an argument.) The obsession with the Obamas isn’t random — it’s racist. MAGA can’t stand that Barack and Michelle embody intelligence, grace, and influence they could never counterfeit, so they invent conspiracies to chip away at it.

And let’s be real: you cannot just declare someone transgender to score political points. What is this obsession with what’s in someone else’s pants? I never think about other people’s genitals — why would I? Tim Walz was right to call them out. The moral? If you spent your adult life minding your own business, you wouldn’t waste so much energy worrying about other people’s pants. Gross.

Meanwhile, Benny’s “alpha male” sermons don’t exactly help his case. If you want to be an immovable mountain, find a woman. Sure, Benny. Mountains don’t move. But closets have doors — and those doors have a way of swinging open.

Then there’s the BuzzFeed chapter. Fired for plagiarism — while mad at someone else for plagiarizing. Fired. From BuzzFeed. The man who can’t stop lecturing about “truth” and “strength” couldn’t even write his own work without stealing it. That’s not alpha energy — that’s remedial summer school. Zippo credibility.

Milo even dropped a not-so-subtle hint, dubbing him “BJ.” And honestly, if that’s how the Turning Point crowd remembers you… that’s not “immovable mountain” status. That’s just cosmic irony.

Here’s the cracked-mirror truth: there’s nothing wrong with being gay, bi, queer, or anything else. What’s wrong — what’s laughable, tragic, and exhausting all at once — is weaponizing those very identities to score cheap points while secretly living them yourself.

MAGA Math: 1 man + 1 hypocrisy = 0 credibility.

So what do we see when we hold up that mirror? Not strength. Not conviction. Just men so terrified of their reflection that they try to shatter it and call the broken glass “masculinity.” As someone said, they hate themselves more than they hate us. And when you look at the infighting, it seems less about us — and more about whatever weird issues they’ve got with each other.

I don’t care if Benny Johnson is gay. I don’t care if he’s bi. What I care about is the inability to recognize your own hypocrisy. If you feel something in your body, it isn’t bad. Your truth is all that matters. But if you can’t tell the truth about anything, you’ll eventually lose sight of your own truth too.

You will always do better in this life experience by practicing your truth — no matter what it is, no matter how others might think or feel about you. This life isn’t about them. It’s about you, and anyone else you choose to love.

And let’s be clear: there are gay MAGA figures already. It’s not impossible, it’s not unheard of. So just tell the fucking truth. That’s all. Nobody’s life ever improved from building walls of lies around themselves.

I know, because I’ve practiced. I’ve even practiced the hardest truths to tell. And I’m still here. I’m fine. More than fine — I’m free from the inner turmoil that comes from hiding. Living in truth isn’t weakness. It’s the only real strength.
