Rich Lowry: Queerness as Revolt Against Oppression

Barrett and Roberts Side with Libs at SCOTUS, Woke Wiener H… · Jun 29, 2026 Society & Culture

National Review's Rich Lowry explains why pro-Palestinian activists see supporting Israel as a betrayal of queerness: they conceive of queerness as revolt against oppression, and view Israel as Western, white, and settler-colonialist — making it as bad as the gender binary in their framework. It's race theory, not Gaza policy.

The Left Eats Its Own: Wiener's Sad Eyes and the Gaza Ultimatum

At 1:18:13 · chapter starts 1:15:30

Kelly and Burguiere dig deeper into the Scott Wiener confrontation, with Kelly reading Rich Lowry's NR essay positing that Wiener's tormentors conceive of queerness as revolt against all oppressive orders — and of Israel as Western, white, and settler-colonialist, making Zionism as threatening to their worldview as the gender binary. This is not, Lowry argues, fundamentally about Gaza — it's about race. Burguiere notes that the word 'queer' has been repurposed to mean 'ideologically correct' rather than anything about sexual orientation. A second clip shows Wiener being confronted at a San Francisco bar and chased out of his neighborhood by a man demanding he say 'Free Palestine' on camera. Wiener stays silent throughout, his response limited to 'sad puppy dog eyes,' as Lowry characterizes it. Kelly reads Wiener's public statement — 22 years of Trans March attendance, 'trans siblings,' 'right-wing extremists,' et cetera — as a failed attempt to remind his tormentors of his progressive credentials. She and Burguiere agree: the mob cannot be appeased, and Wiener built that mob.

Could Bobby and Andrew Adopt a Kid on a Timeshare Basis?

Tortilla Face · Aug 10, 2026 Society & Culture

Bobby watching a father hold his baby triggered an existential moment: he and Andrew might be missing fatherhood. They priced out adoption ($40K–$70K private, $0–$2K foster care) and briefly considered adopting a child to timeshare like a condo.
