I suspect that she was not using “gay” to mean lame, but literally like something a group of gay men might call themselves. I can see it in Proud Boys. Oathkeepers I don’t see, TBH, though.

I think she was trying to make a same gender marriage association with oathkeepers. Doesn’t really work.

I think you are right, with the caveat that she would probably not have made the comparison if the members of said organizations would not feel insulted by it. I can definitely understand the desire to use the militant fascist Qnuts own bigotry against them, but that word’s history makes it difficult or maybe impossible to use as a weapon without causing collateral damage to people who don’t deserve it.

IKR?!? It’s horrifying that they’re that stoopid and yet “their side” is still winning through gerrymandering and stacking the courts.
And the people in the crowd paid to be there.

I feel like you’re closer here to what she was going for than other folks.
It’s an irony that “Proud Boys” sounds homoerotic, because the Proud Boys are homophobic.
It’s not using the term ‘gay’ as a pejorative.
