Yes, there's more to it than that and it's quite stupid and also quite bigoted. Republicans don't need to know that. They didn't and won't read his book anyway.
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.
So... 8 year old JD Vance instead wanted to eat pussy?
Considering not all straight women want to suck dicks, I don't think the desire to suck dick is a good determinant of whether you're gay or not anyway.
…… it’s almost as if there are subtle nuances to human sexuality that can’t easily be defined by how you enjoy your dick ….
Shit, I'm bi, and I don't really like the idea of giving oral to any gender. The thought of body fluids in my mouth kinda grosses me out, unfortunately. Makes me happy that people love it, though. The world would be a better place if everyone got to experience their ass getting eaten voraciously. It really is an amazing experience.
Also, if eight year old Vance brought this up with his public school teacher and they gave him the same kind of response (minus the "suck dicks" and "fucking idiot" parts), conservatives would absolutely lose their shit over "grooming"
Considering his grandma followed it up with
"And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."
He clearly didn't get homophobia from her.
It was when his (step)Mamaw got stuck in the washer that he truly learned he wasn't gay.
I almost did a spit take with my coffee reading this. Wow.
Also, was this his grandmother saying that she knows that SHE'S straight because she wants to suck dick?
TIL J.D. Vance's mamaw likes to suck dicks.
Which is totally fine right? Unless he belongs to some sort of extremist group that base their identity around intolerance, racism and homophobia.. but that's just crazy talk! This guy could be the new VP!
No it’s not fine because he is insinuating that it is a choice that can be logic’d into/out of
I mean, for some people, it is. When you're exploring your identity, you don't always get it right on your first try. Just like there are people who are convinced they're straight that are actually gay (or bi, or pan, or what have you). Though that is far more common, largely because of the societal pressures to conform to heteronormativity.
But then, perhaps that truly is Vance's case here. Maybe he actually is gay, and his whole... everything is just him trying desperately to convince himself otherwise.
My first thought too.
Every straight person I’ve talked to says they knew they were straight very early on. This goes for me as well. There was a brief moment in my teen years where I asked myself if I might be gay. It lasted about two seconds. The result was negative. There was no way I was going to be gay.
If this dude “convinced” himself he was gay, well, I think he might just be at least bi.
A lot of bi people just decide to only live as straight since they would rather not deal with the social stigmas of any degree of homosexuality
I thought I was gay when I was like 13 or 14 and then never thought of it again, the thought just went away
I still have long hair since that time but have a wife of 10 years ha
Every straight person I’ve talked to says they knew they were straight very early on.
Idk, man. There are definitely people I know with a very clear gender identity from an early age. But their were plenty more that weren't so cemented at one pole or the other of the Kinsey Scale.
If this dude “convinced” himself he was gay, well, I think he might just be at least bi.
The problem is fundamentally of definition. Are you simply Bisexual or are you Deluded By Satan Into Having Impure Thoughts?
The answer is entirely rooted in your morality. If you're convinced homosexuality is evil, then of course you're going to feel like any non-straight impulse must be a sin.
It makes me wonder if a "straight people don't have to fight gay urges" PR campaign might neuter a lot of this anti-gay angle. Turn these "inspirational" lies into admissions and use their hate against them.
It's deeply tragic isn't it, how good we are at lying to ourselves?
Explains the eyeliner
Yes!
Can we convince him again so he'll target himself?
What part of the boot does one pull on to increase repression?
That's when you lick the boot.
Grindr has a chance to do something very, very funny
Should we tell him? I think we should tell him.
So, is he...
I guess they're not mutually exclusive.
"I closeted myself and am resigned to a loveless marriage in my pursuit of a political career. Why can't you?"
I think he’s probably trolling in some way? Or maybe this is exactly what some conservatives want to hear, so that’s why he’s saying it. He seems to have learned exactly what to say to make people like him.
This is the same guy who hopes everyone has forgotten that he called Trump "America's Hitler," so he could just be extremely stupid.
It was part of his memoir written at the age of 22. He was trying to sound cool and clever and add color to his grandmother's character because she asked a 6 year old if he wanted to suck dicks. I wouldn't think too hard about it.
He probably says this to lend credibility to the idea that homosexuality is something that can be "cured" or "outgrown"
How to out yourself without realizing it 101.
I'm going to guess he also grew up in a highly religious household.
It’ll be game over for him if he starts to vogue while on stage with Trump.
If sexuality is a spectrum, he's definitely not firmly on the hetero end.
Right. So self-loathing queer person that has allowed his disgusting, toxic, religion to break his mind.

And just who is he blaming for that?
Probably liberals and the woke agenda.

Nit: the title of the post could simply strike the words "that he" to read much more naturally
I don't disagree, but you have to post the headline the way it was written on the original site. That's a community rule.
Thanks, then I redirect my nit at the article!
The "Hillbilly Elegy" movie sissy hypno scene was crazy. Can't believe they left that in.
I will never intentionally expose myself to that garbage, so I'll just ask... What? I'm curious how that fits into this guy's story.
His eyeliner still thinks so.
That's just a little manscaping! He's just metrosexual!
Also, he hates drag queens. Don't you dare suggest anything.
So I get it, but that adds further fuel to my idea that Trump is using him to throw him under the bus.
This explains so much about why he hates the gays and believes in "Traditional Family" (a word which here means, female slavery to a man)
Spoiler: He‘s gay.
Let's not jump to conclusions... he could be Bi.
