Justin Bieber’s dad’s homophobic Pride Month message is garbage—and his “apologies” aren’t any better
A post shared by Jeremy Bieber (@jeremybieber)Part of the beauty of Pride Month is that there are so many ways to celebrate.
Whether you partake in a parade or a rally, a sweaty dance party or a quiet night at home watch some classic queer cinema, your options for commemorating LGBTQ+ history are as varied and multi-faceted as the community itself.But if you’re looking for suggestions on how to have the loudest and proudest June, one thing we recommend you don’t do?
Ask Jeremy Bieber for advice.Now, why would anyone ever ask that man for advice? And who the heck is Jeremy Bieber anyway? Both valid questions!His sole claim to fame is that he has an über-succesful pop star for a son, Justin Bieber.
Over years of controversies, bad decisions, and ill-advised social media posts about Justin’s nudes, Daddy Bieber has somehow forced his way into “public figure” status and, bafflingly, amassed millions of followers on Twitter.Which bring us to earlier this week when the 48-year old decided to post a since-deleted message for Pride Month, in which he suggested queer people take the time this June to thank a straight person “for [our] existence.” Emblazoned on a rainbow flag, no less!Now Jeremy… why’d you have to go ahead and post something as uncalled for and wrong-headed as that?
