TX Man Gives Classic Response to Obama Asking ‘Are You Gay?’

President Obama was in Texas last week, and when he wasn’t getting pilloried for not visiting the border, he was talking with average Americans, one of whom had the balls to actually make a gay joke in front of the President of the United States.

That moment was the context of this picture, Obama giving Daniel Webb a fist bump at Franklin Barbecue, where Webb was working that day.

And what earned Webb the presidential fist bump? Well…

As the president approached, Webb threw his hand down and slapped the counter dramatically. “Equal rights for gay people!”

“Are you gay?” the president asked.

“Only when I have sex.”

Okay, yes, that is worth a presidential fist bump. Well done.
