The phrase was popularized by RuPaul’s Drag Race champion Bianca Del Rio on season six of the popular Logo series.

After Bure posted the pic, Del Rio shared her post to her own Instagram, calling her out, writing: “IF ONLY, THIS HOMOPHOBIC, REPUBLICAN KNEW.”

After receiving the backlash, Bure commented on Del Rio’s post, defending herself against accusations that her religion made her homophobic. Del Rio shared Bure’s comments on her own Instagram, writing, “HER RESPONSE.”

Again defending herself from the comments Bure wrote, “Why do you have to be nasty to me? You don’t know me or my heart.”

“I’m not homophobic,” she continued. “Loving Jesus doesn’t mean I hate gay people or anyone.”

“You sent a bunch of hateful people to my page writing horrible things,” Bure added. “I hope next time you’ll spread love and kindness, even when you disagree with people.”

HER RESPONSE…… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @candacecbure #liveyourlife #lovejesus #republicanpride 😈

Bure’s views on homosexuality have long been scrutinized. Back in 2015, Bure made headlines when she defended an Oregon bakery for refusing to prepare a cake for a lesbian wedding.

“I don’t think this is discrimination at all,” Bure said. “This is about freedom of association, it’s about constitutional rights, it’s about First Amendment rights. We do have the right to still choose who we associate with.”
