I'm curious why they're trying to bury the gay angle on this. I thought being a queer was something to celebrate amongst the left...dancing in the streets while waving pride flags and all that.

Because Pelosi is old enough to have the elderly contingent who are still socially conservative, and in all ways modern Republicans, but who've been voting Democrat since the 50's and 60's because that's the way they were raised. They get posted about often enough in this forum. There are enough people in that age bracket that wouldn't think much of an 80+ year old married man having a gay affair either with or without his wife's knowledge or consent. Does Nancy know? Almost certainly. Is it yet acceptable to a large portion of the Democrat voting base for either a man or a woman to have an extramarital homosexual affair? Despite all their celebration of deviancy, I think it would still be a bit too close for comfort for many of them.

There's movement towards this with how fast they buried Monkeypox when they figured out it was another gay STD, and we saw an example of that in how on this very forum, people re-posted "gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men" without blinking. Likely because they didn't know what to do with that, but it's part of the left's trying to normalize homosexuality and bisexuality. It tells me they're trying to accommodate straight men who casually or compulsively engage in sex with men who aren't ok with the notion. This thing with Paul will eventually get used to that end (haha), but only when enough Baby Boomers have died off.

It seems a bit odd...

My guess is 2 reasons.

1) The Narrative of violent MAGA right wing domestic terror is something they like to trot out as often as possible. They believe they can swing some votes in the upcoming election.

2) Allowing any media investigation of Paul Pelosi could open the doors to lots of unpleasant information. How did they get so wealthy? How much insider trading has really gone on? Have there been gifts or donations to the Speaker that they don't want the source or amount known publicly? Is there a long standing arrangement between the Pelosis allowing extra-marital relationships? If so, what's in Nancy's closet? Nancy likes to position as a good Catholic. It would hurt her image amongst Catholics especially but also other religious people if it comes out she approves of his gay relationships.

Bashing the right is far more valuable and without risk.

And BTW for those who don't know; the phrase that an unnamed CNN source revealed "WHERE'S NANCY!" is supposedly the same phrase shouted in the halls of the Capital on Jan. 6th.

So according to CNBC it is now a Federal case.
And according to this Gateway Pundit story will allow the Fed's to control any evidence.
Don't really know if this second source is reliable.

Well if the Biden FBI is in charge now, we'll never get the real story and the "ORANGE MAN BAD/RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS!" angle will get dialed up to 11 now.

Gateway Pundit is sketchy at best. Kind of like talking to Roy down at the track who not only picks the winning horses but has the inside scoop on major news events.

They currently have a better track record than the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Never heard of those papers.

Nancy has her checkbook out to buy a whole lot of "Shut your Fucking Mouth"

These fucking commies are desperately trying hard, but it ain't going to sway any voters.

From Canada. Not so stunning.

Silly bastard. Nan's species doesn't have kneecaps.

from the FBI complaint at the Fox link,

The hammer was Depape's

He broke the glass door to get in

Pelosi was asleep in his bedroom

Depape woke him up

Depape prepared to tie Pelosi w zip ties, but Pelosi went to the bathroom and called police

Depape and Pelosi went down stairs to the front door

When police knocked, Pelosi opened the door

Pelosi grabbed the hammer, Depape pulled it back and then hit Pelosi

Probable cause that Depape assaulted Paul Pelosi and attempted to kidnap Nancy Pelosi
