Kathy Zhu, former Miss Michigan who was stripped for “insensitive tweets” and refusing to wear a Hijab told The Independent that she believes coming out as a conservative is harder nowadays than coming out as gay.

In addition, Zhu spoke out against today’s PC obsessed culture “It is honestly sad that the left refers to statistics and facts as racist and insensitive.”

When the left throws around the word “racist”, the value of real racism will be diminished. — Kathy Zhu (@PoliticalKathy) July 22, 2019

When my high school classmates found out about my story, they decided to post disgusting comments such as: “she deserved it”, “she hates herself” But what they don’t know is that I got over 10 messages from past teachers/students telling me how I motivated them to vote for trump pic.twitter.com/OSZ93nWCM9 — Kathy Zhu (@PoliticalKathy) July 21, 2019

From TheIndependent

The beauty pageant contestant stripped of her Miss Michigan title over tweets dubbed “offensive” and “insensitive” has said she believes “coming out as conservative is harder than coming out as gay”.

On Friday 19 July, Kathy Zhu tweeted a screenshot of an email she had received from the Miss World America (MWA) organisation informing her that her Miss Michigan title had been revoked.

MWA explained that the reason for the removal of her title was due to “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate” content found on her social media accounts, which Zhu stated was in reference to tweets concerning her “refusal to try on a hijab” and “black on black gun violence”.

In a statement sent to The Independent with regards to the controversy, the 20-year-old said: “I stand by each and every one of my tweets on my account”, despite the fact that the tweets have reportedly since been deleted.

Zhu added that in her opinion, “coming out as a conservative is way harder than coming out as gay in today’s society”.

“It is honestly sad that the left refers to statistics and facts as racist and insensitive,” Zhu said.

“I am very glad that I now have the opportunity to speak out about the unjust treatment of conservatives.”

The University of Michigan student also touched upon the response she’s had on social media, saying it’s been “mostly positive”.

“People support that I’ve decided to stand my ground instead of compromise on my beliefs and values,” Zhu said.
