It’s a weird take by NBC News.
Republicans didn’t “turn it on LGBTQ people”, but that’s what NBC is trying to do through their weird take and dissemination; while trying to take the heat off their masters.

That's why it is so perfect. The left embrace weird, the right are repulsed by it
Pretty sure the only thing embracing Vance are couches.
And I’m pretty sure that’s non-consensual.
Non-consectional. Poor things
I've seen "Keep Austin Weird" bumper stickers in Texas all my life. Maybe that's why they're so insulted by it.
LGBTQs don't mind being called weird though. Normal is the insult. To be normal is to be boring. Normal people don't make history.
Only people who strive to be normal would find weird insulting.
As other commenter said, if you don't care being called weird? You are good weird, of you care you are bad weird.

Nice try NBC News. Ronna Romney McDaniel tell you to run that one?
"No, you!"

🦚NBC NEWS Ushering fascism for our Billionaire owners
That is their job, yeah.
Uhhh...that's the lamest comeback ever The word "queer" literally means "weird".
Republicans: "LGBTQ people are weird!"
LGBTQ people: "Thanks."
Pretty much this.
I love being weird
Yep Dems are good weird. Gop is "marrys kids" weird
Also "make sure everything kids do is 'correct' based on their genitals" weird
The original connotation was fun too. Queer was typically used to refer to the uncanny, inscrutable, and arcane. A non-zero chance of danger was implied, since you could not predict what you did not understand. It’s a nice reminder that understanding dispels fear.

“Casting your opposition as cringe, lame, and weird is an effective strategy,” conservative political activist Matt Walsh posted Monday on X. “It’s visceral. It moves people. The Dems are evil but not stupid.”
How about casting your opponent as evil?
Incompetent/convicted felon/authoritarian, too, but that word/phrase is too long to go viral because social media addicts stop listening halfway through.

Lmao, weird is a downgrade from how they usually talk about us.
Yeah there's no way they'll get the reaction dopamine blast they tweek for and have to go back to their regular bigotry
You mean to tell me LGBT individuals are non conformists?! Get the fuck out of here /s
"What are we gonna do guys? People think its weird for us to fixate on children's genitals, and obsess over our daughters virginity while secretly indulging in wife swapping".
"Let's hate gay people! That always cheers us up!"
I've always found it weird how obsessed with gay sex they are. I'm a gay man but I don't think about gay sex as often as the average conservative. Weird.
The obsession with LGBTQ only demonstrates just how fucking weird the Republicans actually are.
So obsessed that the RNC being in town shut down Grindr in Milwaukee.
Uh huh. I can own being weird. Can you own being a fascist? Oh you can? Well I can't say I'm surprised.
who cares, i am weird. but trump is weirder.
Good weird -> takes weird as a compliment
Bad weird -> takes weird as an insult
Also,
Good weird = fun to be around
Bad weird = scary to be around
Different weird. Republicans are weird like Epstein or your creepy uncle your parents don’t let you be alone with. LGBTQ people can be weird like anyone else can be. It’s not the same
There's safe and fun weird, and there's creepy and dangerous weird.
Guess which one is which?
As a queer sideshow ("freakshow") performer, I absolutely love and embrace my weirdness. Bring it and I'll send it back threefold.
If our use of weird keeps them out of office we can definitely address that.
