The tumblr Beyonce Voters is the best possible reaction to the term coined by Jesse Watters from Fox News. For those who don't know, this is what the reporter called the single women upset by the Supreme Court's controversial ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby. Last month's decision meant employers could deny forms of birth control to their female employees. Many are calling the move a slippery slope for women's rights.
Not to be put down by the 'Beyonce Voters' diss, Queen B fans took to Tumblr and created a blog of the same name. The blog consists of pictures of politicians with Beyonce lyrics printed on top. In addition to essentially flipping the bird to Fox News, the tumblr also provides memorable memes for the rest of us.
