Jared Kushner Apparently Has 'Gay Voice' and It's a Punchline
by John Becker of The Advocate
June 23 2017In the age of Trump, there are few people more powerful—or more mysterious—than the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Despite lacking any experience in or qualifications for government service, the 36-year-old real estate heir has been put in charge of an almost comically broad portfolio encompassing everything from negotiating peace in the Middle East to solving America’s opioid crisis to completely overhauling the entire federal bureaucracy. But Kushner has largely remained in the shadows, declining interview requests and shunning social media.
That all changed Monday at an event for the newly-created American Technology Council, where he spoke on camera about his alleged plans to modernize government computer systems and beef up cybersecurity. As soon as you hear Kushner’s light, high tenor voice you'll understand why he stayed silent for so long.
The Internet quickly responded: "Gay as a tree full of chickadees," one Twitter user sneered. "Jared Kushner sounds exactly like I expected him to sound: super fucking gay," tweeted another. "Hearing his voice is a reminder that masculinity is dying. #CorruptAndEffeminate." Late-night comedian Seth Meyers even got in on the action, joking, "Kushner’s title says senior adviser to the president, but his voice says senior at Claremont High School."
Some insulted Kushner’s anatomy ("Dude is a eunuch. Somebody fucked up that circumcision"). Others, his masculinity ("Kushner is an important reminder that you can’t buy puberty") or his sexual prowess ("After hearing Jared Kushner’s voice, I understand why Ivanka was staring at Justin Trudeau with those hungry eyes"). Many commenters questioned Kushner’s sexual orientation ("Why Jared Kushner always seem like he low key looking at your dick from one urinal over?") or his gender identity ("As expected, he sounds as if he’s months into hormone replacement therapy for forthcoming sexual reassignment surgery").
All this shaming of Jared Kushner for having a high-pitched speaking voice reinforces toxic and outdated constructs of masculinity. It’s also completely unnecessary, as there’s plenty else to criticize him for — his lying about meeting with Russians being one good place to start.

I think ribbing him for looking and sounding younger than he he is, even pre-pubescent, is fair game. The gay stuff is just inappropriate.
-
I don't think he sounds gay. He sounds like he has spent a lot of time trying to hide his Russian accent though…..
-
Mr Kushner is one fine, good looking man! More good looking than a Trudeau
-
i dont like him but that seems like a weak thing to go for considering how flaming some gays are
