In a tweet echoed around the LGBTQ Twitterverse, Congressional hopeful Omar Navarro shared that Disney's new "Cruella" film has ruined his childhood because of an "openly flamboyant gay in the movie."

Adding for ungood measure, "Disney persist shoving the LGBT agenda down our throat." Within minutes, the Internet respond to Navarro's "flamboyant" complaints and flambéed his frame of mind, reported Uproxx.

And then there is this tweet:

And lastly:

Navarro is running for Congress in California for the fourth time after three defeats by incumbent Maxine Waters. He served six months in prisonfor violating an ex-girlfriend's restraining order filed after being accused of stalking. He has also been accused of pepper spraying children.

The gay in "Cruella" he is speaking of is actor John McCrea, who plays Cruella de Vil's fashionable friend.

When asked if his character is an LGBTQ character in film, McCrea said: "It depends on who you're asking I suppose - but for me, yes, it's official: he's queer."

Adding, "If I had a character growing up like that to watch on the screen I would've fallen in love. Also with the idea that he's completely well-adjusted, very happy, and has a real lust for life. Those are things I'd find so exciting."

Sorry, Navarro!
