‘Faggots don’t belong in women’s sports’ – GOP candidate
Transgender athletes should not compete against female athletes, a Republican candidate for secretary of state of Missouri, Valentina Gomez, has said in an apparent response to the recent controversial boxing match at the Paris Olympics.
The remarks were made during a half-minute video message on X (formerly Twitter), captioned “these faggots don’t belong in women’s sports,” which the GOP candidate posted on Thursday.
In the footage, Gomez, wearing a sweatshirt bearing the Olympic logo of five interlaced rings, claimed: “These faggots should get their own faggot category because before if a man hit a woman it used to land him in jail. Now it gets you a gold medal at the Olympics.”
She went on stating: “These are the worst Olympics in history. They have made a mockery out of Christianity and women. And let me remind you, there’s no such thing as a chick with a d***. Keep women sports female!”

The statement by Gomez, one of eight Republican candidates running for Missouri’s secretary of state, follows a controversial women’s boxing match between a female and a transgender athlete at the Paris Olympics.
Italy’s Angela Carini faced off against Algeria’s Imane Khelif on Thursday, in the welterweight (66kg) category. However, the bout lasted just 45 seconds. After taking two strong punches to the face, Carini threw down her helmet and forfeited, crying “this is unjust!”
Carini said she had never been hit so hard in her life and feared that her nose was broken.
The fight sparked strong reactions worldwide and questions about the fairness of letting a “biological male” compete in the ring.
The Paris Olympics have already come under a barrage of criticism over last Friday’s opening ceremony, which included homosexuals, transsexuals, and drag queens simulating a Bacchanalia patterned after Leonardo da Vinci’s famous mural ‘The Last Supper.’
Gomez calls herself “a woman on a mission” in her campaign slogan. In May, she went viral over a post on social media in which she told voters, “Don’t be weak and gay.”
Her previous social media posts included setting fire to LGBTQ- themed books, promising: “This is what I will do to the grooming books when I become secretary of state. These books come from a Missouri public library. When I’m in office, they will burn.”
