The Teen Who Brought Gay Pride To Mike Pence's Hometown
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2018
- When 18-year-old Erin Bailey decided to put on a Pride festival for her senior project, she expected maybe 50 people would show up.
But she happens to share her hometown of Columbus, Indiana, with Vice President Mike Pence--a vocal opponent of LGBTQ rights--and her idea quickly blew up, becoming a symbol of resistance in a largely conservative region.
We followed Erin on the day of the festival, and met other members of the community who spent years making an event like this possible.

@Andrea Mendenhall Well thats the point, he should.
I liked your comment and now it's 666
Cakie It’s me Kookie, didn’t expect to see you here lol
It breaks my heart that she starts off by saying "Not that I'm like, popular," bby you're a cool kid to us
not really. I dont care if you are gay, but why go around and tell everyone? Why is it ok for people to dress up sexual around kids? Its all a bunch of pandering for morality.
@born free
Okay ur reply had nothing to do with what @jpup was saying-
But it’s not that she’s “going around and telling everyone” she’s simply trying to raise awareness and like she said, be a voice to others and just kinda spread the word that it’s okay and there accepted.
born free I agree they shouldn’t dress so sexually around young ones
@@bornfree8073 where In the video are they dressing sexual around kids? And it's not like she's going around telling people it's for people to be proud, yk like pride month
@@bornfree8073 OK BOOMER
The title had me thinking she brought a gay parade to a pence rally. I wanted to see him freak out.
MrReasonablethinker, "you guys thing" what group are you referring to? It's just me buddy. Are you referring to liberals? Because you don't know me and my political views. Also what in here shows hatred?
MrReasonablethinker nigga please.
Really?
MrReasonablethinker seriously dude.... u must be that stupid to think that A HUMAN BEING CANT HATE! Yes I’m get but I still hate things and people when we say no hate we mean towards PEOPLES SEXUALITY GIT IT THRO UR THICK ASS HEAD BOI 😂🖕🖕

Viper Dude use the correct grammar and I might just take you seriously. You must have autocorrect so use it.
Viper get out of here with your heterosexual enforcement Karen
Viper why did you watch the video? It’s clear in the title what it is about
Get some hobbys and find something you like
Viper, just stop, you’re embarrassing yourself.
Everybody: We want the focus to Erin’s actions and not on Mike Pence
Video: Lets put Mike Pence’s name in Title and not hers
No but actually this video made me so happy
Natalie Wiehl - Yes, that’s a great point, actually. Buuut, tbh, I wouldn’t have clicked the video if the title were different. That said, Erin seems like a wonderful person who has done so much for her community, and deserves the recognition. And it is especially admirable that she accomplished this in Mr. Bigot’s (Pence’s) hometown. 👍🏼🌈💜

can I just say that erin's dad's reaction when he figured out she was bisexual was actually a great way to go about it. he actually noticed some signs of it, but didn't treat her different. didnt make it a huge ordeal or overreact about her sexuality, or when she came out to him. he just wants her happy. if I were to also to come out to my parents, then im pretty sure it'd be a big overreaction on my moms part (even though she's supportive and actually a part of the community herself). props on both erin and her dad

Finally, a thread of comments that doesn’t spread hatred and ignorance c:
and it happing really fast! :D
It's gladdening that Lgbtq+ Rights are becoming more and more like Basic Human Decency. We all deserve love don't we?
I never "came out" I just said what I wanted to say, dated who I wanted to date, etc. I've been asked multiple times when I came out and my honest response is that I never did because I never felt like it had to be blatantly said, straight/cisgender people don't have to. Why should I? I hope it becomes more like this globally because I'm aware that I was very lucky to grow up where I did.
"I ain't queer, but I'm here" my GOD I need that for next year's pride!!!
Yes, same!
Well, did you use it?

Oh boy, I am so proud of Erin, I feel like she's my little sister from across the world! I wish I had had the guts to be out and proud when I was this young. She deserves all the recognition she got for organizing this event!
Flareontoast !! God is so angry at her, and you, He sent his only begotten Son, to suffer his wrath and vengeance on a cruel bloody cross, to pay all our sin debt, that we could never pay, so that we would have a way to escape his wrath because of our sins, and be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, by the preaching of the gospel, and I just preached to you, the gospel, now its your choice, His messenger Rose , ,

Andrea Mendenhall I take it Christ promote hate?
Andrea Mendenhall I mean...they should be only if they would hire that very exact same if they were straight. When you hire someone it should be based solely on the individual person’s merit, not their sexuality, skin color, gender, etc. So not hiring a gay person because they’re bad at a job is fine, but not hiring a gay person because their gay is a blatant form of hate and discrimination.
Andrea Mendenhall yeah because torturing people is disagreeing
Andrea Mendenhall he supports conversion therapy, which is a place that people send their LGBT kids to so they can “get rid” of who they are. They physically, emotionally, sexually, and mentally abuse people in the conversion camps. People are killed in them.
Andrea Mendenhall Conversion therapy is abuse. They get r*ped, beaten, and killed in those camps. That’s not “intense counseling”, that’s assimilation.
I was there at pride, and grew up in Columbus, honestly the huge sense of community there was amazing, to my surprise I didn't hear any negative comments about it, despite knowing that there was. Truly amazing, so proud of Erin, heard she got a really good grade on her senior project too!
@MrReasonablethinker
If by "very tolerant" people, you mean very tolerant of their own blatant hatred towards the LGBT+ community, then I agree 100%. Conservatives are indeed very tolerant people. That said, I don't believe all Conservatives are ignorant like you. Some of them are probably more reasonable and tolerant than we give them credit for. Unfortunately, people like you give them a bad name by spreading hatred on the internet. You are not so "reasonable" as your name may suggest after all, are you?
May I suggest the hypocrisy you exhibited?
1) You should also grow a spine and not get triggered when someone like me disagrees with you.
2) Realize that things aren't always going to go your way. You want to praise ALL conservatives for being so-called "tolerant" and put down ALL liberals? Sorry, but that's simply not true and I will say it like it is.
3) Recognize that you're not always going to GET your way. Don't like how I disapproved of your statement? Guess what? You will have to deal with it.
4) Reconcile yourself to the fact that you'll run into people who hold a different viewpoint from yours. People can have a different opinion, you know?
"Because conservatives are very tolerant people. They exhibit AND extend the tolerance that liberals demand but are unwilling to return."
Were you not attacking ALL liberals in this statement, saying they demand tolerance but are unwilling to return? Nice generalization. Nice personal attack. Nice hypocrisy.
On the other hand, I openly said I don't believe all conservatives are ignorant and intolerant people. I believe some of them are probably more reasonable and tolerant than we give them credit for. Did I attack ALL conservatives? Nope. But hey, if the shoes fit...
I respect different opinions from different people as long as they can be tolerant of our differences. But people like you who resort to attacks on an entire group of people based on generalizations and false assumptions are the ones I truely despise.
You are out here making a claim that ALL conservatives are "very tolerant people" while we have countless examples of how intolerant some of them are. May I ask you what's the general view and opinion on same-sex marriage for conservatives? (Not all, but many) Do they accept and support it even if they don't necessarily like or agree with it? Or do they rally against it, send their kids to "pray the gay away" camps, protest with "God Hates Fags" signs, refuse to make a damn cake for same-sex couples, and disown their LGBT+ children? Ladies and gentlemen, this is "Tolerance."
I have heard a lot words used to describe conservatives, but tolerant for sure isn't one of them.
Liberals are unwilling to return (tolerance)? I don't remember the last time I protested against people for being straight. I don't remember the last time I protested against Christianity or whatever religions you believe in. Do I believe in them? No. I disagree with their beliefs, but I don't hate them or try to change them. I mind my own business as long as you mind yours. I am not here to change the way how anyone lives their life as long as they don't harm anyone in the name of beliefs. You do you and I will do me. You can believe in whatever God you want, and marry whoever you want as long as he/she is a consenting adult. It's none of my business and doesn't affect me in any way. Don't you think life is too short to worry about how other people live their lives? As cliche as it sounds, I am a firm believer of love, acceptance, and tolerance. I don't have to like you or agree with you, but as long as you are not harming other people, I can accept and tolerate you.
More importantly, there's a difference between disagreement and blatant hatred.
TestamentInsanity i would sure hope she got a good grade!
THIS PEOPLE R LESDING PEOPLE INT HELL LIKE ELLEN DEGENERATE
MrReasonablethinker You literally only commented to extol how virtuous and tolerant conservatives are and then you just disproved your own point with your comment about how this isn't *"worthy of education"* . Did you watch the video? They explained within about the first 15 seconds how this was *CREATED* out of an education-led project and even if you showed up here saying you weren't tolerant, etc. I still don't know how you reach the conclusion that the event the student organized went far beyond the expectations of the assignment. You're really bad at maintaining any consistent argument.

Her dad: *"Immense amount of pride."*
Me: *(Snort.) "Heh. Yeah it is."*
The dad is amazing. "It's not a big deal" is a perfect way to put it someone being lgbtq is just a part of them it isn't something to either worry about or be overly excited about.
A huge slap to Mike Pence himself, having to see his hometown becoming more progressive.
I hate rapists, pedo's, murderers and thieves, I also hate stubbing my toe, not getting enough sleep etc, I hate a lot of things. There's different types of hate
MrReasonablethinker its really not
@MrReasonablethinker what about that comment spews hate?
Hating hate is hate, I guess. Whatever buddy.
In a tolerant society, the only thing we can't tolerant is intolerance.
I'm so glad to see other bi teens as me doing such a huge change, in the past, bi people have been accused of doing no shit for the community, but here she is, I could feel from the beginning she was the b in LGBT, my bidar told me. So proud of her, I wish I could do the same one day
Rainbow Sweet Pride was co-started by a bi woman.
And gay people dont really believe in bisexuality
So why are you surprised that most bi people dont associate with lgbt community.
@@valentine93 yoo right, i feel like i dont get to fit in, even though there is a b in lgbt, we should feel more included than just getting a letter,
lainabug93 that's why rather not even bothered with it. As long as people take my sexuality a a legit one and dont make me feel other wise. I dont need the lgbt to feel like im real.
I know what you mean hun but some of us do like to get that sense of community.

I don’t know where you live but you don’t have to come out to go to pride! Your parents don’t have to know (even tho I do understand that honesty can be a big deal for some people) if you don’t feel safe to come out to them you can still participate! Maybe the energy at pride will help you 😊😊

I can't go to these LGBT events, I'm bi, and my family doesn't know, despite my art.. I really wish that one day I can walk around the streets and wear rainbow and my flag and my symbol as earrings. I want to be free of these homophobes, and grow so far that I'll be so high up in the rainbows that they can't reach me, I'm closer to the clouds that way, and at the end of the rainbow treasure and the treasure is not the money, it's the love.
I'm also bi in a homophobic home, and I really hope you can be free soon! You're very strong and you wrote this comment beautifully. 💜
This is beautifully written.
Ayy me three
THIS yes
i feel you😢
I can't imagine anyone being scared of such nice people.. vibrant and thriving!
No one is scared of them, but they have no right to stomp on people’s freedoms and impose their ideology in a country that was built upon CHRIST. Because they pushed for legalization i am as a US citizen got my freedom of speech slashed. THAT is not EQUALITY.
Native Americans engaged in satanic witch craft Christians came to save them from hell. Life and death is your choice.
Sailing across oceans to Slaughter native people is satanic and proves the violent cult you probably belong to.
Baptists don’t fight witchcraft, most people are afraid to of the spiritual realm. Speaking the truth is not shaming. Any person practicing witch craft rituals is satanic regardless of race or nationality. How would the indigenous know God if they were geographically removed? There is no specific way to speak the truth expect to say the truth. I don’t beg God I’m not mislead Catholic. I practice in the Holy Spirit.
Jesus challenged others. I chose to do what Jesus did. Oppressed silence doesn’t bring change. I don’t have respect for sin. The point is to stir error so that people take notice. I care about offending God not Man.
This doc was beautifully made. And, speaking as a 55 year-old gay man, I’m so pleased that you drew the connections between generations of LGBTQ activists. That coalition of youth and experience is powerful and makes things happen!
where are the "libtard snowflakes" yelling and cursing as the conservatives always whine about? non-binary gender is a delusion but religion is not, apparently. hmm...

My first year of university I marched in the town’s first Pride, organised by one of my friends. That year there were maybe 50 people there and it was the first time I was ever ‘out’ in public, and it was absolutely magical.

i love it and once again i'm in tears over a Pride Moment
james hendry, hi there, near 60 ? you're a baby. just so you don't think you're old, I got you beat by many more. have a nice day.
I cant imagine what it's like being around before this I'm grateful to born in a time I can be safe with my loved ones I hope your ok rn and I'm happy you got to see this world you probably thought was impossible
I am a straight vet. I don't care what a person's sexual orientation is. They can serve equally. I went to a pride fest I liked it. Even went to the drag show.
Makes me wanna do the same in my trashy conservative town. She’s so incredibly brave and beautiful ❤️ This world doesn’t deserve that kind of strength and love
Still Catholic, but I 100% support LGBTQ+ rights!!❤️
Nathalie S. still christian but i let whoever love whoever they want
Nathalie, And God almighty is still 100% your enemy, you nor they, have ever been born again by faith in Gods only begotten Son, Jesus Christ alone, and been baptism of his holy Spirit , who indwells all true believers, If you had been, you could not embrace this abominable sin, nor bowl down to those catholic idols, ( Mary ) being one among the many, thats not the real Mary, by the way, Jesus Christ suffered the vengeance and wrath of His Father in heaven, on a cruel bloody cross, to buy our pardon, so that through him ( Jesus Christ alone,) we might repent of our sins, and receive that pardon, not by good works which we have done, but by the shedding of his precious blood he saved us, and without the shedding of blood, theres no remission of sin, John 14:6" Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father " ( in heaven ) " but by me " The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is life everlasting ", Its all our duty, to know what the scriptures say for ourselves, God never told us to follow men, but rather, him , by the gospel, I dont follow my pastor, or listen to him outside the written word, the 1611 King James authorized bible, thats why I made it my calling to be in the written word for myself, so I could safe guard my eternal soul from ruin, dont follow people, no matter how wise you believe them to be, follow Gods written word above all and at all times, in every situation of life, and you`ll make it home to your desired haven safely , Woe to you when all men speak well of thee, for so did their fathers to the false prophets !!
@ oh shut up go be homophobic somewhere else
Catholic priests love little children. That religion is a joke.

I may not be gay, but I do believe in Gay Pride and the sanctity of people being able to live their lives without fear of other people forcing their agenda on them.
This person is an absolute hero and legend. Honestly iconic
Seeing so many straight allies made me cry. Thank you Erin!

Same. I've gotten so much hate from my family and in general just for supporting the community, I can't imagine the level anger and bigotry they have to deal with every day.
I'll always be here to support you guys!

Thank you we dont deserve people like you;-;

This is extremely heartwarming. Thanks for the video!
THAT GIRL...
No wait, THAT GANGSTER BOSS LADY ROCKS MY WORLD!!
You are amazing! Your event was incredible and with this piece and all of the attention you'll get over it you're going to need a bigger street next year!! I'm thinking FRONT AND CENTER right down MAIN ST! I wish I lived nearby because l would have been there in a heartbeat to support the LGBTQ community. Not only that but l would have brought my husband and son, my besties who are also allies, and all our fabulous and fantastic LGBTQ friends.
When l graduated HS in the early '90s l didn't think l knew or had met anyone who identified openly as gay or bi EVER. My class was less than 100 people and my whole school, 7th-12th grades, had about 550-600 students. OBVIOUSLY there were several gay students, but no-one l knew was out. There were a few people l suspected, but that's about it.
Then l met a boy. Both of us still in high school but not at the same one. Our first phone conversation he told me about his family. He's the baby of 5. He talked about his 2 oldest brothers and their wives and one had 3 kids and then he said, without skipping a beat, "then there's my middle brother and his husband, my sister and her girlfriend, and me." And the only thing going through my head was, "I must have heard that wrong or he mixed it up or something." I was so naive it's embarrassing. But l asked. I really wanted to meet this guy and l genuinely wanted to know. "Did you just say brother's husband?" And he just said, "Yup" and went on with telling me about how his parents pretty much always knew about their son and when he finally came out their dad said, "It's about damn time!" and gave him a huge hug. He and his husband have been together for over 30 years. Unfortunately their dad passed away when my husband was 12 and his sister wasn't out yet. I'm sure she would be nervous to come out to her parents, but she'd seen over a decade of love and support for her older brother's family. She's now blissfully married to the sweetest lady. (Not the original gf, but they met and started dating maybe 2 years after we got married.)
I really thought about how I felt about the gay community. I'd been told that it was wrong, it was dirty, and that all gay men had AIDS. I really challenged myself to decide if I'd be able to handle meeting his gay siblings one day if we started dating. I realized that all that bullshit I'd been told was mainly fear, ignorance, and prejudice. I think a lot of kids like me had similar views as their parents because it's what was taught and on tv. It wasn't blatant in my house, but I knew exactly how my family felt. I'm sure you all realize at this point that l was FINALLY shown a different family, just over the first phone call we ever had, and realize almost IMMEDIATELY that if l had the right to love who l wanted to love, so did everyone else. My HS boyfriend and l have been dating for 25 years come November and married for 21 just this past June.
Holy crap that is long! Sorry!! One more quick thing to add... My son asked how many minutes were in a year just a few days ago and EVERYONE who's ever seen Rent or turned on the radio in the 90's knows the answer is 525,600 min. He was shocked l knew it so fast and I told him about this special song. So l pulled it up on my phone and we started listening. It gets to the chorus and a split second before they say, "What about love?" my 10 year old says, "or how about love?" I asked if he'd heard the song before or heard the title or anything like that and he said no, first time hearing it. That right there, THAT little boy with the sweetest, most tender heart, is why l have faith in our future. (Really proud parenting moment that brought out the tears IMMEDIATELY!) YOU are another shining example of this! Thank you for being willing to stand up and be heard. You have a huge family's support heading your way from GA! 🏳️🌈 ❤💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈
Why is this comment so long
Stephen Strnge so that l could say everything l wanted to. DUH!!
sharon zona beautiful story. Thank you for sharing!
this is beautiful 😊💖
We sang that song you mentioned in my middle school choir, it was great
She looks like the female version of Robbie (Cavetown)

Thank you so much
You are a wonderful person and mother i wish you the best
As you should.😊
This story was good for showing how important an event like this can be for people who live in small(ish) towns. As a guy from a big city, I didn’t have the same perspective, but this helps me to see what that experience is like.
it's horrible it totally sucks and in some spots like this its really really bad still
I AM CRYING THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIN (Im Pansexual so this really, means a lot to me)
I want to do this in my town what the heck she is amazing
Do it!
Don't! Stop forcing people to accept this satanic idea.
Lexi Loree, God hates all sin, and this sin is an abomination to him, I`m sent to warn you to repent and believe the gospel, that Jesus Christ die on a cruel bloody cross and suffer the vengeance and wrath of his Father, to pay our sin debt, that we, being defiled by the fall in the garden, could never pay, so that whosoever will, could escape the damnation of eternal hell fire, what is your answer to God?, don`t direct your answer to me, I`m just the messenger , God gave us all free will, to refuse or choose him and his way of salvation, and I love God, and therefore I love you enough to warn you, as He commanded me to do, as I myself have been warned, I chose God will over my own, I hope God will give you the same grace to do the same, sincerely Rose !!
Wtf did I just read that sounds like it came directly from the actual bible 😂 how do you take yourself seriously when you talk like that?!?!
@ idk man if what the bible says is true, we'd all be inbred to the point of extinction.
Ok so I've only known her for less than a day and if anything happened to her I'd kill everyone in the room and then myself
seriously though, she's done such an amazing job here! Not to mention she's super cute lol
Is this a Brooklyn Nine Nine reference ? It must be.
Im sorry, I know this is a very serious video and I love it but
*cummins*
What if my sexuality and my mind is attracted to younger girls maybe even some that are under age. Are you saying that that’s not wrong either and that a therapist doesn’t have the right to tell me it’s wrong. Somethings are just wrong even if we feel that they’re right. Being gay doesn’t make you a bad person just like if you’re attracted to underage girls doesn’t make you a bad person as long as you don’t act upon those urges and try and find another way
Wow, you are a Viper. Second comment I found you on too!
_.CreatureOfHabit._ a lot of guys are attracted to underage girls they just don’t admit. I’ve seen plenty of men checking out my daughter. Especially at the beach. There creatures of habit. You see
@@Bradmhj
Don't flatter yourself
MindLight1 1 you know it’s true about guys tho. Flattery or not
This is what it's all about. Everyone is accepting and loving towards each other. When the right meets it's always just bubbling hate
Lakkarino Sacrificerino Kripperino You should see how disrespectful and nasty those gays get when they feel they have the right to. Many of the gays I know are extremely vindictive and vengeful (more so than the lesbians)... Remember the more things change the more they stay the same, gay people aren't all rainbows and rollerskates.
Dear LGBTQ, im glad you support people having the freedom to pick and live how they want to live, now stop suing the people (who do not believe in homosexuality) for simply not wanting to sell you a cake or flowers etc. practice what u parade around for. FREEEDOM
N N that's like saying: "Dear Black people. Stop wanting to eat in white-only-restaurants and other services. We just don't accept you being black so we won't serve you" does that sound ok to you?
quiggly johnston what are you talking about exactly?
quiggly It sounds like you want to excuse your own hate and nastiness by projecting it on others. I'm not gay and big crowds are not my thing, but gay people tend to be the most accepting around. You can feel comfortable and safe at their celebration. Not true for a Trump rally.
this made me cry. im so happy for them
this video, and this girl, and everyone who showed up is the reason i can believe that everything is gonna be okay
BiggggJohn I don’t think this festival was forced on people. People weren’t forced to go to the festival.
No Laney Lister , if you and these other deceived people , continue down this broad road to hell, it will not end well for your souls, hell and the second death await you all, this life is all the time you all have to repent, and only God knows how long you have to make that choice, so be wise, and give your self time to check your lifestyle out, by reading the Bible, and count what sin is going to cost you in the end, and decide if it’s going to be worth it,? I say , no!! It won’t be worth it, but you have to decide for yourself, no one can decide it for you, I hope you make the right choice, sincerely R H
Rose Hinton you disgust me.
@, how about you follow your bible a little closer and show some love. I dont hate you for saying this, but I dont think you should. Your not the person who decides who goes to hell in you religion, as long as I'm not hurting you, you have no reason to talk to me.
@ christianity is supposed to be loving right? It doesnt seems youre a true christian if you are spreading hate
Huge respect to this young woman, so much courage and determination! May she succeed in her future and keep spreading love for all :)

I'm from Indiana to! I live in Fishers
LittleElfQueen I’m from Indiana as well. My city has a pride festival of its own.
That mother crying about how happy she was that her gay son got to experience a pride parade in their hometown really made me tear up.
Just saw this now and I'm in tears. So proud of her! ♡
Very inspirational and an amazing idea for a senior project. Well done Erin, you are wise beyond your years.
She’s a beautiful soul! I wish her the best, lots of courage! What a wonderful story. She’s going to go far. Look at here impact with her young age. So happy for Columbus!
Hell is not that far.
Your right. And Jesus will send you there for not accepting your brothers and sisters. Live by your book. Don’t be a hypocrite. Have a nice life.
Blasphemy. It’s God’s book. It’s God’s turf. It’s God’s laws above Man’s.
Tell me where in the Bible it says anything about gays? Get a grip on reality and stop throwing your bible at people’s faces. You obviously don’t live by it because your hate totally goes against everything it stands for.
It’s the gays that hate. If I walk down the street in NYC with a cross t-shirt silently. I get ppl who want to attack me. THATS HATE. No strong identity needs parades and other’s validation. They are cowards who obliterate another’s opinion while fighting for equality? Equal doesn’t mean that all bow down to one ideology that’s fascism they moving backwards. They took away my right to disagree publically yet they were given many platforms to voice their concerns. Leviticus 22:18 Sodom Gomorrah and simple common sense that an ass and dick won’t produce life. Error destroys itself as it will happen when God’s Will Be Done.
Every time I’m sad I watch this video,is just heartwarming and wholesome✨
