Umm ... is everything okay over at WaPo?
Because I don't think that everything is okay.
A gay sheep Grindr fashion show.
Yeah, I didn't believe it was real either. So I looked it up for myself.
It's on their style page as of time of publishing.
Designer Michael Schmidt is best known for his work in metal. He made chain-mail dresses for Cher, jewelry for his longtime collaborators at Chrome Hearts and a metal gown for Doja Cat that was inspired by Tina Turner (another former client).
But he is also an avid knitter — and so he jumped at the chance to do a collection woven entirely from the wool of gay sheep.
Wait, what?
"Wait, what?" indeed.
Here's more:
As many as one in 12 male sheep are non-procreative but show an — ahem — interest in other rams.
These non-procreative, male-oriented (for our purposes: "gay") sheep require just as much care and feeding as their procreative peers. But because they don't produce offspring, some farmers consider them an economic drag. They are often slaughtered.
They just kill them for being gay?
(I'm just kidding)
Fun fact: Wokies like to use the behavior of animals to justify the behavior of humans, which opens up a whole can of worms.
They also like to ignore that male animals often attempt to mount other males as a form of dominance meant to subdue rivals through aggression - or in other words, the "gay" animals use sexual violence to keep other animals in line.
Among those sheep are 35 rescued gay rams. They're given names such as Marvin Gay and Jean Woll Gaultier. Each can be sponsored via the Rainbow Wool website.
Stücke, 52, relishes his role as shepherd. 'Without a guide, the sheep are lost,' he said. 'They know my voice. When I call them, they come.'
This shepherd has been called to care for gay sheep, in his words, for decades now. And the gay dating app people, Grindr, found out about it and this year they are putting on a gay sheep fashion show.
Because we live in Clown World™
Tristan Pineiro, Grindr's senior vice president of brand marketing, was immediately interested in partnering with Rainbow Wool.
'It's a great, feel-good story, but there's also a message at the heart of it,' Pineiro said. 'It's not just a fluffy story.'
This is officially the gayest thing we've ever featured on the site!
