The Equality Act bill to prevent discrimination against LGBT+ people passed the House a year ago. And since then, Rep. Lauren Boebert has insisted on calling it the “Supremacy of Gays, Lesbians and Transvestites Act”.

She has since waged an ongoing battle against folks in the LGBT+ community who elect to select their own appropriate pronoun for themselves. Apparently, the fact that a gay Democrat (Alex Walker) recently announced his candidacy against Boebert in Colorado (with a rather … ahhh … hmmm … unique ad) has rekindled her old battle against pronoun-selections that flared up last year when Boebert brazenly announced that her pronoun is “Patriot”.
My pronoun is “Patriot”.

Naturally, the Twitterverse wasn’t going to let this flagrant grade-school level grammar error pass without passing out a few corrective red check marks. So let’s revisit some of the better grammar “lessons”.
First- patriot is not a pronoun.
Second- there are many words to describe you… and patriot is not one of them.
Idiot is the first word that comes to mind. https://t.co/KHs2fQDF9N

"Patriot" is not a pronoun.
A Patriot would have condemned the Jan 6 insurrection, not encouraged it. pic.twitter.com/mRbKNx6IyF— D Villella ❄️ (@dvillella) May 26, 2021
Why has the word “patriot” been co-opted by the right? I know a lot of patriotic queer folk. You don’t own patriotism. You never will. I’m gonna keep flying my American flag next to my pride flag.

It’s a noun. So is “idiot”. https://t.co/NIIhc4My3U

We know it isn't “Christian.”

#LaurenBoebertIsSoDumb she can’t figure out what a pronoun is.
Also, is anyone else annoyed the word “patriot” has been stolen by white nationalist and feels they no longer can use it? That bothers me.

Grammar isn’t your thing. Neither is governing. You’re nothing but a troll.

"Patriot" is a noun, not a pronoun. Supporting those who tried to overthrow the government is the exact opposite of patriot. It's a seditionist.
A better "pronoun" for you would be parrot

Your adjectives are "traitorous," "ignorant," and "embarrassing."

No, @laurenboebert, you're just an ignorant (adjective) dumbass (noun) who is an affront (noun) to our Founding Fathers' dream of an enlightened (adjective) America. You (pronoun) are a traitor (noun) who betrays (verb) all who fought and died for freedom (noun). https://t.co/nYfaPehiZM pic.twitter.com/jb66Ha2RLd
