There's no love lost between me and Queerty as many of you longtime readers are aware of.  I've written more than a few times about the failures Queerty regularly gets into when it comes to race and trans people.

But this was the latest classless move by this site that was revived from the dead in 2011 when it disrespectfully penned the headline in its take on the Daily Mail story about Evie, President Obama's Indonesian trans nanny.

Queerty referred to Evie in its headline about the story as "a ->-bleeped-<- ho'

Seriously Queerty?  Your pink sheets are showing again.   And don't forget the pointed hood.

England's towering icon of journalistic integrity, the Daily Mail, has unearthed the latest scandal about President Obama's origins: His onetime nanny is a trans woman who later turned to prostitution.

    Barack Obama's former nanny has been revealed as a gay transgender [woman] who made the future president laugh by trying on his mother's lipstick.

    "Evie" cared for the boy she called Barry when his mother Ann Dunham moved to the Indonesian capital of Jakarta in the late 1960s.

    Openly gay, she would leave the house dressed in full drag – but was very careful that Barack never saw her.

Quite the sensationalistic headline, Queerty!
