JD Vance’s drag photos have arrived and the gays are having a field day

It seems that poor Jonathan Demme Vance can’t catch a break these days. All he did was deny his alleged couch-f*cking past and make a few remarks about how people without kids are losers and suddenly everyone hates him. I guess that’s just the roll of the dice!

But as bad as last week was for the VP hopeful, it’s about to get even worse. Over the weekend, A Bit Fruity host Matt Bernstein received a photo of Vance in drag from his Yale years, the gay Internet burst into a joyful mood. Something else about this deeply weird man that we can make fun of? Bring it on.

We wondered whether Vance’s relationship to overdrawn eyeliner had a more profound source, and now we know. This man was clearly baptized in the fire of the “Shoes” video.

Not only that, it’s giving Kitara Rivache a run for her money.

We support couchsexual rights, and couchsexual wrongs.

I know what you’re thinking: how is there always, ALWAYS a picture like this of every anti-gay, anti-trans politician? I don’t know. I wish I knew.

If this was The Good Wife or even Veep, this arc would feel a little too on the nose. But fortunately, it’s real life and we’re cackling.

Even the Times pitchbot got to weigh in…

Republicans forgetting their recent past and doing a public 180 is really the gift that keeps on giving.

Undecided voters, do you really want someone this un-demure in the White House?

I thought not.
