Thanks for the Pride Month gift Pat. Turns out you're an ally after all.

First Trump, then SCOTUS says Alabama can't be /that/ racist anymore, Matt Gaetz is back under investigation, and now this? Best Pride ever!

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

First Ronald Reagan, now another homophobe dies during pride

[–] peeonyou@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

The world just got a bit less bigoted

[–] distractionfactory@beehaw.org 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This meme came up when I was looking for recent information about him.

Gotta wonder how that conversation would really go.

[–] LiarBesidalAll@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Hopefully God endlessly shitting down his throat to keep him from speaking lol

[–] ram@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

What a gift we've been given in celebration of pride! 🏳️‍🌈

[–] jmp242@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 years ago

I have to say, I won't miss him any. Actually kind of makes me happy.

[–] DevCat@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Now drive a stake through his heart to pin him into his grave. We don't want that coming back from the dead.

A drink for such a happy occasion is in order this evening.

[–] gzrrt@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

The world is a slightly better place without him in it.

[–] fomo_erotic@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rest in piss.

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't wait to find out where his grave is so I can piss on it just like Rush Limbaugh's.

[–] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Can we conga line from Rush's to Jerry's to Pat's? Piss and dance all night long!

[–] stefenauris@pawb.social 11 points 2 years ago

Frank Zappa wrote a song about him in the 80s

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Zappa was always spot-on. XD

[–] silent_clash@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's NINE minutes long?!? Holy shit that's amazing.

[–] SanityFM@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

About average for a Zappa track, I think

[–] realcaseyrollins@social.freetalklive.com 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

@const_void Doesn't #CBN peddle the prosperity gospel and other heresies?

It is sad that he died but I'm not going to pretend that a network broadcast a fake gospel is a net positive for #Christianity.
