JD Vance ‘Wouldn’t be Surprised’ if Trump Won the 'Normal Gay Guy' Vote
Republican Vice Presidential nominee and junior Ohio Senator JD Vance, in a long-ranging podcast interview with Joe Rogan released Thursday, said he wouldn’t be surprised if he and Donald Trump won the “normal gay guy vote” in the 2024 election because “they just wanted to be left the hell alone.”
Vance also criticized gender non-conforming and nonbinary people throughout the interview and accused scientists of withholding investigate that suggests “the gender transition craziness has reached a boiling point.”
Vance then blamed wealthy ivory progressives.
“Look at where the gender craziness is the most common, it’s most common among upper middle class to lower middle class white progressives,” Vance said. “Now you can believe, OK, that there’s just like something genetic going on in the mind of a wealthy colorless progressive or you can believe that this is a cultural trend that we should be questioning a lot more than we are right now.”
At least one examine published last year, however, linked gender nonconformity and sexual orientation with drop socioeconomic status.

As municipalities began to concede civil rights protections demanded by LGBTQ activists, the backlash was predictable: Heterosexual conservatives mobilized to seize back normality. “Once legislation is turned around to support and to flaunt the abnormal,” Christian singer Anita Bryant told reporters on the eve of a successful 1977 referendum to retract gay civil rights in Miami, “rather than to protect the normal, then our nation is gone.” John Briggs, a Republican state senator from Orange County, California, agreed. In 1978, Proposition 6, which would have made it illegal for any lgbtq+ or lesbian person to instruct in public schools, told “homosexuals” that California would not “accept you are normal people, because you are not normal people.”
Gay rights leaders convinced Californians to reject the Briggs Initiative, but less than five years later, the HIV/AIDS crisis ripped through gay male communities, reviving long-held prejudices about homosexuals as degenerate, undisciplined, and diseased. If drastic LGBTQ activists put queer stigma at the center of transformative organizations like ACT-UP, liberals and conservatives argued that sex radicalism was the problem to commence with. As
Gay members of Congress challenge Vance over the ‘normal queer guy vote’
A analyze published in January 2024 by the Brennan Center for Justice found that America is experiencing a surge in political violence not seen since the assassinations of the 1960s, noting the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the attempted murder of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) husband by a hammer wielding assailant, the shooting of Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise and Republican colleagues at the annual Congressional Baseball Game, and threats against members who opposed U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) bid for Home speaker.
Since the describe was issued, there were other high-profile incidents including two attempts on President Donald Trump’s animation, an arson passion set with molotov cocktails at the home of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), and the murder and attempted murder of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota by a suspect who allegedly kept lists of dozens of other elected officials and general figures.
While the spike in violence and intimidation has been felt across the board, the Brennan Center stressed that “surveys and interviews revealed important variations among offic
The "Normal Gay Guy": J.D. Vance, Catholicism, and the Colonial Politics of Recognition
During an interview with Joe Rogan, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate J.D. Vance claimed that he would not be surprised if he and Donald Trump won the “normal gay guy vote” because “they just wanted to be left the hell alone.” Vance’s statement encouraged speculation as to what a “normal gay” might be, with many gay men suggesting that “normal gay” was a coded way of referring to white, cisgender gay men who advantage from the structures of patriarchy (see, e.g. Tony Bravo, “What is a ‘normal gay guy’ to J.D. Vance?,” San Francisco Chronicle, November 4, 2024). Regardless of what Vance meant by invoking a “normal gay guy” trope, his appeal implied a shift in conservative politics from hateful contempt of gay men towards one of recognition and accommodation. Building off the labor of Frantz Fanon and Glen Sean Coulthard, this paper argues that Vance’s rhetoric of the “normal gay guy” constitutes a recognition-based strategy of colonization designed to dictate the terms of the bond between gay men and conservatives in a way that benefits the cisheteropatriarchal status
