Today is National Coming Out Day. And here’s how Chelsea Handler is paying tribute to the LGBT community:
If you’re wondering why Republicans took a sick day today, it’s probably because it’s #NationalComingOutDay. Looking at you @LindseyGrahamSC

We’re looking at you, Chelsea Handler. And all we see is a hateful, homophobic shrew.
No. This is not a good joke
— Mommy, a real person (@MommyIsAPerson) October 11, 2018
damn this joke sucks
— 9 V O L T (@9_volt_) October 11, 2018
Just par for the course with her.
This is gross and Uncalled for.
— ?️Ally-spoop?️ (@Bootstrap_Alice) October 11, 2018
Again … par for the course.
Do better Chelsea. This kind of joke is tired.

Haha yeah being gay is embarassing what a cool joke to tell in 2018

— Billy Pickett (@BillyPickett) October 11, 2018
So homophobia is cool when it’s used to try and denigrate Republicans? Interesting…

Jesus, Chelsea, READ. THE. ROOM.
Never the time, or the place, never funny.

This is a lot less funny and way more homophobic than you think it is
— SlayDies Hatchet Club (@subtlerbutler) October 11, 2018
WHY do you do these things? what about this is funny to you?!

Insinuating that someone you dislike is gay is actually not pro-gay behavior.

Mock homosexuality on coming out day to… own.. the… cons? ?
— Your Dad?? (@eaglefartz) October 11, 2018
Wait you don't like @LindseyGrahamSC so you… call him gay?? But hey good try at being funny I guess

HOW MANY TIMES CHELSEA?!? this is offensive af
— Justin Forbes (@jfoLSU) October 11, 2018
I would rather go see Lindsey Graham talk than see Chelsea, and I abhor Republicans.
— Introvert Gay (@introvertgay) October 11, 2018
Insinuating someone is gay on Twitter and making fun of the fact they are hiding because of that fact is not ok – even if the person is Lindsey Graham. There is plenty to take him to task, like literally anything he says or does

Chelsea, I'm transgender and have a background in comedy. This joke is in bad taste. We need to punch up the LGBTQ community, not down. #NationalComingOutDay
— Danielle Solzman at #ChiFilmFest (@DanielleSATM) October 11, 2018
All this does is cheapen today . You are hateful enough to fit right in at a trump rally .
— Amy Weiland (@amy_weiland) October 11, 2018
Hm. How about don't? Have you tried don't? Give don't a try, if you haven't. Don't.
— caspersatz ? (@casersatz) October 11, 2018
Making fun of someone based on the fact they are, or are perceived to be queer, is homophobic. Happy #NationalComingOutDay to you too.
— Feminazgûl (@jkyles10) October 11, 2018
Awesome.
Calling someone gay to insult them.
That's so woke. https://t.co/O1FAypKXF1

Not cool Chelsea.
Not #Innovative
Jokes like this only make it harder for those who are dying inside to come out.— Innovative Creature (@InnovativeChick) October 11, 2018
When did it become "woke" to mock GOP senators with (inaccurate) claims that they're gay? The hypocrisy here is sickening. https://t.co/Vy8LYOTbz3
— Brad Polumbo (@brad_polumbo) October 11, 2018
Hey, this isn’t allyship. It reinforces a negative connotation about homosexuality and links bigotry to being in the closet which is unhelpful. This tweet is trash. And you know it.
— R. Eric Thomas (@oureric) October 11, 2018
Ah yes, keep the gay jokes coming. With friends like this, who needs enemies. https://t.co/3JxfsJCtun
