According to "Hillbilly Elegy," Vance's grandmother assured him that he wasn't gay, but that God would still love him if he was.

Yes, there’s more to it than that and it’s quite stupid and also quite bigoted. Republicans don’t need to know that. They didn’t and won’t read his book anyway.

      It makes me wonder if a “straight people don’t have to fight gay urges” PR campaign might neuter a lot of this anti-gay angle. Turn these “inspirational” lies into admissions and use their hate against them.
