Coondace Owens, a far-right media hot head and staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, has once again sparked controversy at the expense of the queer community.
When she's not busy throwing her own people under the bus to appease bigoted clear folk, or throwing shade at single mothers, Coondace has now set her sights on the gay community by claiming that TikTok is turning men into homosexshuhs.
The far-right commentator painted TikTok as a component of a bigger conspiracy involving the media, Hollywood, and psychoanalysts aimed at manipulating American society into adopting behaviors she deems “unnatural.”
“They’re not socially engineering us to do good things,” Owens said. “They are making men more and more effeminate, encouraging effeminate behavior, and convincing women to hate men. This is just what I see happening, and it’s terrifying.”
Owens went on to bash single mothers who actively chose to raise their kids alone.
“Even in circumstances where the biological overrides and women are going, ‘You know what? Suddenly, I feel my biological clock ticking. I want to have a child.’ They are social engineering women to want to do that without men,” she continued.
It's quite pathetic that by spewing baseless, stereotypical tropes is the only way for this grifter, who was able to win a settlement back in the day for racial discrimination with help from the NAACP can get attention in the media.
TikTok is not turning people gay. Queer people aren't out here recruiting people like we're Scientologists or Jehovah's Witnesses. TikTok provides a much-needed space for people — especially young people — to express themselves freely. It also gives queer people in marginalized communites such as myself a place to express themselves and build an audience based on their passions.
So by Coondace fixing her dingy mouth to suggest that TikTok can “turn someone gay” misrepresents how sexuality works and spreads misinformation. Sexual orientation isn’t something that can be manipulated by an algorithm or social media content, and making such claims perpetuates harmful stereotypes about the LGBTQIA+ community. Her comments are not only unfounded but extremely harmful.
Also by Owens suggesting that women are being encouraged to turn against men is sexist. This narrative dismisses legitimate concerns many women have about relationships, power dynamics, and gender equality. More troubling, though, is how Owens positions both gay men and women as products of manipulation, undermining their agency and identity. Her commentary is not divisive; it pits groups against each other based on a distorted reality.
So if TikTok is making men gay, then I guess all forms of social media has made her an insufferable coon.
