He also convinced himself he was gay
“I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
“JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”
“Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”
Well, I’m convinced.
“Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”
Okay, his grandma seems cool.
Kind of weird to say to an 8 year old but maybe he retold in his own words.
I find it really weird that he would want to include that in his conservative memoirs. You would think at least from a republican narrative perspective he would want his grandma to tell him that if he did want to, “sick dicks” that meant he was going to hell.
I would put this in my front yard. Have you started production yet?
Found it on etsy actually
Don’t forget that he was born as James Donald Bowman, and JD Vance is his preferred name.
Keep that in mind when he attacks people with preferred names and deadnames trans folks.
I heard jd vance doesn’t believe on toilet roll holders, he wipes and all but just let’s the roll roam free
Free roaming roll is fine. I don’t have a holder in my bathroom and it works out just great. Go ahead call me weird, I like it.
You’re attacking me and my people
Cast iron skillet in the dishwasher? Friggin’ savage.
