This sort of meaningless "gotchas" aimed at the US govt is becoming insufferable. Trump cheats at golf, they paved over the grass before the White House, Vance fucks couches and listens to Queen... I'm sure they're trembling and praying we don't also find out Trump doesn't know how to use chopsticks and Vance got a speeding ticket in 2009. Their power would crumble immediately.

You know, this doesn't sit right. Calling music "gay" for nebulous reasons, such as featuring vocals by women, is counterproductive. Hell, many of those tracks were national hits and there's no way they got there if they were only enjoyed by people in the lgbtq+ community. The "target" here may be Vance, but the message being sent is that straight men can't and shouldn't enjoy certain types of music. This is middle school (from when I attended at least) bullshit and reinforces toxic masculinity.

Hey fellas, does liking music make you gay?

Vance was somewhat progressive in college. I wouldn't be surprised if his music tastes come from that era. Honestly, the same goes for his makeup style.

Ok just looked at it, and yeah that's not a particularly gay playlist. It's honestly just what people listened to where him and I grew up, regardless of orientation. He does seem to really like when death cab goes straight for the soul. But I was expecting shit like Defying Gravity, Chappell Roan, and enough Britney and Christina to be a bit much. But nah, this could easily be any of my high school friends' playlists, and I'm the only one to wind up queer.

This is probably the least concerning thing about the man. What a non-article.

Fuck JD Vance, but also, people can and should enjoy whatever music tickles their brain. But Fuck JD Vance (And that POS felon)

I simply don't believe a man who dresses in drag and wears eyeliner listens to gay anthem playlists. Next, you are going to tell me he's a closeted gay man. He's got a wife for Pete's sake!

What would a gay Playlist be? Musicals? I don't even know (and I won't check the 'article'). Look, I'm the last person who wants to defend that lousy pile of cells, but no matter what's on his playlist, that doesn't make him gay any more than my horror punk, death or black metal playlists make me a necrophiliac mass murderer. That's just cheap and stupid.

I think this is a reach. A lot of those songs are just popular songs from his youth and conservatives famously have incredibly poor media literacy. See all the people rocking out to Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine at pro police rallies

Stay by Lisa Loeb is a gay anthem? I Wanna Dance With Somebody? Far Car is by a gay lady, but it’s really not about sexual orientation, it’s about struggling in poverty.

This all seems a stretch.

And here I thought he fancied couches, you think you know a guy...

He strikes me as being in denial or very very very in the closet. Time will tell I guess.
