Republican and man who has made a career out of losing to Rep. Maxine Waters Omar Navarro tweeted that a gay character in Disney’s new 101 Dalmatians installment Cruella has obliterated his entire childhood just by existing. Truly, the power of the gay community is vast, apparently reaching beyond the confines of time and space to ruin the childhood of Navarro in particular.

“The new Disney Cruella with Emma Stone just ruined my childhood with an openly flamboyant gay in the movie,” he tweeted. “Disney persist shoving the LGBT agenda down our throat.”

The character Navarro is referring to is “Artie,” an openly queer man and member of Cruella’s entourage played by John McCrea, who is also gay and proud. Artie is certainly not the first Disney character who could be described as “flamboyant,” but apparently the power of being openly and explicitly queer was too much for Navarro and his childhood.

The queer agenda of wanting our existence to be acknowledged and represented in media sometimes, as straight and cisgender people are every day, all the time, has ruined many a childhood already, according to internet whiners. However, Navarro’s tweet managed to catch a lot of attention in spite of the fact that his only claim to fame is losing to Maxine Waters over and over again, catching even the ire of actor John Stamos.

The resulting list of dunks may ruin the perennial candidate’s present, and, hopefully, his future:

If that ruined your childhood, I hope you didn’t watch Full House. Three single men, living under one roof raising kids in San Francisco…. https://t.co/oCadf3xnIK

I, too, had a very very normal and extremely heterosexual childhood that was entirely constructed around Cruella DeVil. https://t.co/9jq4l39ULE

Not a professional psychologist, but if one movie you watched as an adult ruined your childhood, your childhood was already hanging by a thread. https://t.co/puTkwPmD5q

these openly flamboyant gays really have ruined the otherwise wholesome film about a coat made from hundreds of skinned puppies https://t.co/6x5usAuS1w

Let’s keep teaching kids that it’s ok to fall in love with a giant beast who has imprisoned you in his house and who needs you to love him back or he will remain a monster forever https://t.co/urYReRYszO

What is it with homophobes and absolutely refusing to use a phrase other than “shove it down our throats ” https://t.co/bULCZAJAON

Gotta be a horrible experience to go to a movie with your heart set on enjoying some good ol’ puppy skinnin’ and some gay dude walks by and ruins everything. https://t.co/gzdtm0PlzM

Regular reminder that conservatives are just as intent on enforcing “politically correct” language and narratives as anyone else, it’s just that their version of “correct” means erasing a diverse and growing list of types of people from acknowledgement and existence. https://t.co/YqW9g3J1o8

Genuinely fascinated by anyone whose childhood was reliant on preserving the myth of heterosexual exclusivity in the Cruella origin story. https://t.co/62asNfWH3e

Steve why do you insist social media numbers aren’t real or fair?

Well Timmy as a terminally ill, disabled man who helps run a charity, I have 80K followers

A man who believes a fictional villain being gay ruined their childhood has 230K

Numbers do not make you a better person https://t.co/7TbqgUqtBX

Retroactively ruining the childhood of someone who grew up to be a hate filled homophobe seems perfectly acceptable to me.

Kudos, Disney! https://t.co/9nlBPQTQ96

Please remember. Flamboyant gays have ultimate and dangerous powers!!! Bow down bitches or we shall destroy your entire childhood by merely existing in a fictional story about a dog murderess fashionista. https://t.co/NvwisYLXRm
