Rachel Maddow said on MSNBC that she’s always found the names of right-wing militias the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers to be “inadvertently funny” because “they both sound really gay.”
Said Maddow: “They both seem like they’re referring to gay stuff—whether it’s the Proud Boys in terms of gay pride, or the Oath Keepers thing around a lot of the gay politics around gay marriage.”
She added: “They have such a poorly derived sense of camp and understanding about American subcultural text that they both ended up naming themselves something that could have been a 90s affinity group of, like, the lesbian avengers.”
