Bean, the Malkavian -- Anti-FishMalk

Unlike Gavin Newsom's paid influencers who make his "viral" tweets and tik-toks.

Which are a strong contrast to the reality of him going on to far-right podcasts, or bringing them on his to increase their 'platform' - like Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Shawn Ryan, etc. - to trash the LGBTQ community.

From "thepride":

Gov. Newsom Provokes Backlash After Calling Trans Inclusion in Women’s Sports ‘Unfair’ on Podcast

Photo: YouTube
LGBTQ+ Advocates Condemn Newsom’s Remarks, Calling Them a Betrayal and Dangerous

California Gov. Gavin Newsom surprised many by expressing concerns over transgender athletes competing in women’s sports during the debut episode of his new podcast, This is Gavin Newsom. The episode, which featured conservative activist Charlie Kirk, marked an unexpected discussion between the Democratic governor and the co-founder of Turning Point USA, a prominent pro-Trump organization aimed at mobilizing young conservatives.

During the conversation, Kirk pressed Newsom to clarify his stance on transgender athletes competing in female sports categories. “I think it’s an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that,” Newsom responded. “It is an issue of fairness — it’s deeply unfair.”

Newsom, who played varsity baseball in college, elaborated on his perspective. “I am not wrestling with the fairness issue. I totally agree with you. … I revere sports. So, the issue of fairness is completely legit.”

From Pink News:

Gavin Newsom press office slammed for hurling Grindr insult at MAGA influencer
Mar 27
Written by Poppy-Jay St. Palmer

The press office of California’s Democratic governor Gavin Newsom has been called out online for using a “homophobic” insult involving LGBTQ+ hookup app Grindr against a MAGA influencer.

Posting to Bluesky on 25 March, Newsom’s press office shared a screenshot of a post from right-wing political commentator Benny Johnson of The Benny Show.

Johnson had shared a video from his appearance on Jesse Watters’ Fox News show where he spoke about fraud in California. During the segment, Watters alleged that the state had an issue with fraudulent hospices and daycares that registered as official businesses to receive government funding.

“I got a call from the White House after this,” Johnson wrote alongside the video. “There is a reason Gavin Newsom looks so terrified right now. He should be. Buckle up. The fraud investigation is about to get insane. Starting this week…”

The official Governor Newsom Press Office account then shared the post, writing: “We got a call from Grindr after this and said your team was their biggest users. Congrats!”

‘Homophobia is a very, very bad look’
However, the comment wasn’t the burn it was intended to be. Many Bluesky users criticised the post in the replies, with one user writing: “Man, listen Governor Newsom Press Office, homophobia is a very, very bad look. C’mon now.”

“Hahahaha! Being gay is funny! Hahahaha! It’s so funny it’s the punchline to a joke! Hahahaha! We’re the good guys!” added another, sarcastically.

Another wrote: “Democrats will keep pivoting to the right until they become Donald Trump. We’re gonna get a Democrat running on getting rid of gay marriage by 2032.”

Gavin Newsom Cites Trans Godson While Taking Anti-Trans Position

The California governor said that the states trans-inclusive laws around sports should change.

October 27, 2025

California Gov. Gavin Newsom doubled down on his comments about transgender athletes in an interview last week, saying that a state law protecting trans student athletes should be changed while still casting himself as a trans rights advocate.

Speaking to California public broadcast station KQED, Newsom defended remarks he made to the late right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk on the first episode of his podcast earlier this year. Newsom said, at the time, that policies which allow trans women and girls to play in women’s sports leagues — including K-12 student-athletes — are “deeply unfair” and that conservatives’ “concerns” about such policies are “completely legit.”

“[W]hen it comes to sports, that’s impacting other people’s rights. It’s different,” Newsom told KQED, adding, “I agree on the issue of fairness in that respect, that it is unfair in these circumstances, and I haven't been able to reconcile it.” Newsom went on to say that there should be “nuance and grace” in policies impacting trans athletes’ participation, drawing a distinction between competitive and recreational events while denying he had “roll[ed] people under the bus.” At one point, Newsom stressed that he had “only one godson, who is trans” in defending his conversation about trans rights with Kirk, adding that he “hope[s] people actually listen to the episode.”

[...]

Newsom also pushed back against criticism for having right-wing propagandists like Kirk and Steve Bannon on his podcast, decrying what he referred to as political “litmus tests” and saying “[y]ou don't have to listen to it.”
