LGBTQ+ community turning against Rose Montoya for WH flash
Explore More
White House boob-barer Rose Montoya is facing fierce backlash from her own LGBTQ+ community — accused of setting back decades of activism in a flash.
The self-styled “Latine, bisexual, nonbinary transgender woman” has since deleted the fake-boob-flashing video that got her banned from the White House — as well as an initial flippant response to the backlash.
But many of the influencer’s earlier social media posts have been flooded with angry comments — with fellow trans people leading the charge.
“THOUSANDS of trans activists (like myself) have worked for decades, to show transgender people in a POSITIVE light to society, and you go and TEAR IT ALL DOWN, in one day??” a mental-toughness trainer named Robin St Louis told Montoya with a crying emoji.
“Thanks for setting back everything the trans community has been trying to accomplish,” one trans follower wrote.
“We are trying hard to just be accepted as regular folks not the people like you had to be, with the in-their-face stunt you pulled at the damn White House!!
“Stay the hell home if you have no self-control.”
Another “fellow transgender woman” also told Montoya, 27, that the bare-boobed display on the White House South Lawn was “an inappropriate act, even more so considering the amount of discrimination we face.”
“It harms our community and reinforces the negative stereotype that we cannot act appropriately,” wrote the trans critic — stressing, “I am appalled by your actions.”
Another trans follower told the exhibitionist: “I feel humiliated by this.
“You have given us a bad name and have made it easier for the haters to hate more,” the follower said — acknowledging that “in this situation, they’d be correct.”
“What you did was absolutely unacceptable and disrespectful. No one should expose themselves like you did,” the critic said, saying the display would likely “push us further and further from acceptance.”
One community member told the influencer: “Live your truth. Be out. Be proud. But why for godsake did it have to be on the lawn of the White House?
“You have given the right a talking point and narrative to shame the POTUS who graciously invited you to the people’s house to be out and proud.
“It has shamed us and made us fit their narrative to attack us and use your actions as ‘evidence.'”
Another commenter said that Montoya handed “a gift-wrapped talking point” to “haters trying to repress LGBTQ people.”
“What made you think that going topless at the White House was a good idea?” they asked.
“Thoroughly selfish, indulgent, short-sighted behavior at a time when our community needs all the allies it can get.”
Another person told her that she’d merely fueled those “demonizing trans people enough already.”
“Respectfully, the s–t you pulled at the White House set the trans community back so much,” that critic wrote.
“That was a family friendly event, and I’m pretty sure you knew that. Exposing your t1ts was not appropriate.”
Another commentator said Montoya was “one of the reasons why the LGB movement is happening,” referring to members of the lesbian, gay and bisexual community distancing themselves from trans people.
“You made a mockery of the LGBT community when you were topless at the White House. You should be ashamed.”
Montoya — the child of an Idaho pastor — initially posted a video defending the tacky White House display, saying, “Going topless in DC is legal, and I fully support the movement in freeing the nipple.
“Why is my chest now deemed inappropriate or illegal when I show it off? However, before coming out as trans, it was not.”
That response has since been deleted, along with the initial clip showing the flash after Montoya gushed over meeting President Biden.
Since then, the influencer has repeatedly teased followers with an impending statement, one which had yet to be released early Friday.
