The Candidate Who Told Voters Not to Be “Weak and Gay” Lost By an Embarrassing Margin

"Valentina Gomez, the Missouri Republican who chased anti-LGBTQ+ clout with a campaign ad chiding voters not to be “weak and gay,” has officially lost her bid to become Secretary of State — and in truly embarrassing fashion.

In Tuesday’s state GOP primary, Gomez drew just 7.4% of the vote, finishing with less than 48,000 votes in total. She placed a distant sixth in the primary race, losing to state Sen. Denny Hoskins, who will go on to face Democrat Barbara Phifer in the general election this November.

Of all the reasons Gomez lost her bid for state office, being too quiet about her beliefs was certainly not among them. In May, Gomez received national attention for a video ad on social media in which she told voters they could “be anything [they] want” in the U.S., “so don’t be weak and gay. Stay fucking hard.” But her video didn’t receive the type of reception Gomez was fishing for, partly because of the camp of it all — Gomez, perhaps unintentionally, filmed the video while jogging in St. Louis’ historic Soulard district, a longtime home to LGBTQ+ communities and queer nightlife."
