KJP and "lesbian visibility"

In case the average American didn’t know it already, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is a lesbian, and one who is so “out and proud” that she doesn’t hesitate to mention it every chance she gets – even though pretty much everyone in her circle undoubtedly is aware.

The White House press corps, who are likely the “wokest” of any press corps in American history, no doubt knows this as well, which might be why they looked on in stunned silence while Jean-Pierre, who was joined by “L-Word” Showtime series actresses Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Katherine Moennig and the show’s co-creator, Ilene Chaiken, proceeded to lecture them about “Lesbian Visibility Week” and the supposed importance of lesbians being visible at the start of the daily press briefing.

“This week is Lesbian Visibility Week, and as the first openly queer person to hold the position of press secretary for the President of the United States, I see every day how important visibility and representation are,” Jean-Pierre proclaimed before gushing over and introducing the “L-Word” crew and noting that after they spoke to the press that they would be meeting with “LGBTQI+ staffers” in the White House.
