Question: WHY would a CREATOR GOD (YHWH) be interested (or excited) in a group of grown up MEN playing DRESS-UP and then having competitions to see whose fancy dress costume is “the best”?? Do YOU find that fun or entertaining? Really?? There’s a verse in the Bible that goes something like this: “When you grow up, drop the childish things and be a grown up”. Drop your childish habits and just be a grown up. Leave fancy dress Halloween costume parties alone.
They can talk all they want about drag queens, it won’t distract me from the endless stream of male authority figures in the church being outed as predators every goddamn day
A system where it's codified that men are next to godliness and the only ones fit to rule, and women are commodities for men - of course it attracts predatory and mentally weak men in hordes 🙄 when are these people finally going to get a clue and abolish their sexist beliefs
When she said “God made me to be a woman” my first thought was “well God also made you to have brown hair but clearly y’all didn’t give a shit about what God made you to be then so” 🤷♀️😂
You should have seen the episode on how to use makeup in a "godly" way. They read a verse about how a woman should dress, and in the list of things not allowed was - I shit you not - no braided hair. They BOTH had their hair braided, didn't bat an eye, didn't bring it up, and went on to talk about eyeliner and shit that isn't mentioned in the Bible AT ALL.
@@DimaRakesah omg YES, that was so???????? i guess we shouldn't be surprised by people picking and choosing what to reinforce and what to throw away from the bible, but the fact that they CHOSE to film that despite the hypocrisy is wild
Bethany literally once said “just tell me the rules and I’ll follow them.” They found making decisions regarding makeup super hard because the Bible isn’t specific on how to wear your makeup.
"You don't necessarily sexualize anyone with a chest." Nick, you're giving them too much credit. These are absolutely the type of people to think that big bazoingos = temptress
Considering I got slut shamed as a literal child because of how I developed despite the fact that I only ever wore loose T-shirts, this is terrifyingly accurate and it made me feel like I was a garbage human being just for my genetics.
As a trans person who works with kids (summer camp right now, in college for a teaching degree), my biggest problem is the stereotype of trans people as predators and unnatural. This idea that I’m somehow confusing or dangerous to my kids, when the truth is, my gender identity has nothing to do with my work with kids. I’m tired of being demonized in my line of work.
Ugh I can’t imagine how tough it must be to be a trans person in education or childcare right now. I feel for you 💖 Mad respect to you for continuing to pursue your dreams in the face of these crazies
I'm so, so sorry you have to deal with that. Demonizing good people as groomers is absolutely disgusting and says far more about the people who would believe such a thing, just because they don't understand you or your life, is abhorrent.
Yeah as a trans person abt to go into subbing to see if I have the temperament for teaching I am. Very scared (lives in tennesee and doesn't know what honorific won't get me in trouble)
The most telling part for me is when she is talking about rejecting her creator, whether or not you acknowledge it. Is basically saying you have to play and follow my christian rules whether or not you are indeed a christian. It is so gross and a big part of this whole christian nationalism problem.
Well put! Its scary because it's not just being forced Christian but their specific beliefs within Christianity. They even publicly bully other Christians accepting of LGBTQ+ identifying ppl. What are we supposed to do? Chug cheap wine and put up live love laugh signs while accepting a sub par life like them? Sorry sweety.
sorry Ashleigh! you were assigned brunette at birth, so I can't dye your hair blonde. oh, and I won't be changing your passport to say you're blonde, nor will I be changing your picture! it was what God made you to be 🥺🥺🥺 /s
To be fair, if crispy green-blonde was the best they could achieve this is one time I'd say they should have gone with their god's "design". Whatever keeps them away from the box bleach job 🙌🙏
Being a cis het white male I would just like to say that we are perfectly capable of manifesting crippling depression and other life shattering mental health issues without exposure to the LGBTQ community thank you very much.
No kidding. And if you were trans and forcing yourself to live as a cishet man out of shame and fear of eternal damnation I'm confident that the crippling depression would be that much worse.
Yeah, don’t take away the credit for my own crippling depression. I put in long hours in having a monthly existential crisis and being queer has nothing to do with it.
Maybe only other drag queens. "Doctor, that bitch read me to filth and the worst part was... She was riiiigght! My wigs are really thirsty" (JK, of course. I know a lot of drag queens, that joke was for them, with love).
As a woman with large boobs I can promise you they sexualize my body constantly. I've had people talk to me at work about my cleavage being inappropriate when I'm not wearing low cut tops. If I'm not completely covered up to my collar bone someone will complain that my body existing is inappropriate.
@@Padam91 Exactly people could have sexual thoughts about literally anything, if a guy has big hands or if a cute girl compliments me I'm gonna think some thoughts but I'm gonna keep it to myself and not be a creep about it.
@@skyandrews2613 yep! It's okay to find people attractive or to find certain aspects of human bodies attractive, but just because you find them attractive doesn't mean they're INHERENTLY that way, or that they should be shamed for it.
Agree, girl defined need to mind their damn business. I mean seriously, how miserable and basic do you have to be to tell people how they should feel and how to live their life. Newsflash it is 2022 GET OVER IT and stop using religion to put out your toxic viewpoints on the internet and worry about your own mess up life and stay out of everybody else business. Girl defined should be smart enough to know nobody cares about what you think and nobody owes you anything.
Sooooo Bethy is against Drag Queens cause they are ‘a bad influence for children’ but she’s totally fine with following Debbie Pearl’s methods of raising a child which involves physical abuse of children. Saw in a tweet she was excited to start blanket training her young child. (Basically involves putting your baby down on a blanket and then calling them over to you, and when they leave the blanket you hit them. Supposedly teaches them to stay where they are put regardless. Absolutely disgusting just like bethy is)
dude i literally remember my parents doing similar things to me, like i remember basically nothing of my childhood, but i have this very vivid memory of me at age.. 1 or 2? sitting there with a blackboard in front of me and a pencil. my dad would tell me to write on the blackboard with the pencil, and when i did he slapped me, i guess to teach me not to use pencils on blackboards (why was that a vital piece of information for me to learn at age 2, your guess is as good as mine) and i would start crying and get so confused cause like, i literally just did what you asked me to do, why are you punishing me. the fact that i still remember it probably says a lot about how confusing and, well, maybe traumatizing, of an experience it was for me... the fact that ""experts"" are recommending such a treatment is... w o w
Oh my god. I have no words for how horrendous, hypocritical, and all around AWFUL that is. And the prospect that this lady is EXCITED to start conditioning her child by hitting them?? Good god. Just wow.
It’s worth noting, their not-so long dead ancestors were Nazis in Austria. They downplay that fact, while also not denying it or being critical of it. Bethany in particular is proud that she resembles their great grandmother, and has shared a picture of her in her god-honoring 🙄 Hitler youth uniform.
Yeah, and they also proudly shared photos with them posed next to their graves AND outside the giant “family house” their Great Grandfather-who with his Nazi friends-took from a Jewish family in that town (they were dragged out of their home-probably on Christal Nacht -or one like it in Austria-in which the family was thrown out of the house and shipped to a ghetto and most likely Concentration Camp after that). So now there are probably a lot of decent human beings NOT here (possibly a drag queen or two). Instead, we have Bethany and Kristin (🤮) in a picture bragging about “family heritage,” and spewing this BS.
The absolute lack of self awareness of these people, over here equating people in drag or trans people to predators, whilst also dropping their kiddos off for unsupervised lock-ins with father McFeelyfingers without batting an eye.
now why'd you have to make this so funny. I should be taking this seriously 😂😂😂 edit: to be clear, I only found the nickname funny, not the situation the kids are in.
When people talk about kids doing drag, they're usually talking about kids putting on colorful wigs and jumping around singing their favorite songs. That's called dress up. The only places where kids are being told to shake their hips while wearing bikinis are child beauty pageants and Trump rallies.
When I was in college, I gave a speech about my trans identity (it was a dang speech class y'all) and after, a girl who looked exactly like them handed me a letter saying she desperately needed to talk to me. When we talked after, she tried to convince me that I hated god because I was rejecting his plan for me. These girls might not be saying the quiet part out loud, but that is what they believe. Oh, and that girl stalked me for the rest of the semester. She kept leaving notes in my car--They do believe that it's part of their faith to convert us to jesus or whatever.
That last part is something I think the rest of the world needs to be reminded of more often. "Why can't they just let us be? Why are they being hypocritical instead of giving a fair chance to other beliefs and opinions?" Because Christians believe they're obligated to make everyone Christian. It's one of their foundational beliefs. You can't trip up a Christian by saying "Haha, you said you wanted freedom of religion, but then you failed to give religious freedom to anyone but yourself! Checkmate!" That's the point, that's the point, that's the point!
As a trans Christian I am so sorry, I promise not all Christians are like this, we accept gay + trans rights ! The bible has been edited to control people, Christianity is about loving and respecting others, NOT controlling others like these two idiots
@d b Buddy, I'm gonna try to say this as nicely as I possibly can cause you seem like you've got your heart in the right place, but you've done a lot here to say you believe 'love the sinner, hate the sin'--As if Jesus still loves queer people despite being 'screwed up, wayward, misguided'. You compare being queer to Judas betraying Jesus--What ARE you talking about? You seem to consider yourself an ally, but this is not allyship. It reeks of the same bigotry & superiority I was shown in college. You are not 'one of the good ones' when you talk like this to queer folks.
Omg shout out to these girlies for finally helping me settle on a drag persona! Gurl D'Fine, where my foundation never matches my neck and the most risque my outfits get is a tank top with straps that are only *three* fingers wide
an ALL loving god wouldn't shun whole groups of people, hell his son didn't either. Anyone who uses religion as a means of controlling other's lifestyle so they can't argue against it is a coward. If something makes you uncomfortable, like your daughter going out in a short skirt own up to it and admit why that's upsetting or worrying to YOU. Don't shame people with faith, and dire consequences like a painful afterlife. "Because God said so" is the laziest, most manipulative trash excuse to use against anyone.
@@Cici_CMJ exactly! That's how they get you! They rope you in with stories about Jesus so much that it becomes nostalgic, preach love thy neighbor as thy self, do unto others as you would yourself (😏), love is patient, love is kind and then you age out of Sunday school at like 15 and they're like "the presence of your shoulders turns on pastor Dave! Don't be such a sinful sl*t!", "being gay is bad, but don't hate the sinner, hate the sin, unless the sinner is you, then you better hate yourself", "we're all trash and undeserving of love! We all deserve to burn in hell! But because god is such a good person, he loves us even though we're garbage!" I was ready to eat it up, but then they told me to read my Bible, ask questions and "struggle." Basically to use my brain. And that's why I couldn't drink the kool-aid anymore. Why would God be mad at muslims/buddhists/hindus/pegans etc. for guessing wrong about the origin of the universe? Why would God who is supposedly a perfect being, be jealous? Why would premarital sex be a sin? Why would acting on gay feelings be a sin? Why would a perfect and loving God ask a man to hand over his virgin daughters to be r*ped by soldiers to protect angels and then refer to that man as a righteous man? Why would God send bears to kill teenagers for calling a preacher bald? Sorry, I'm deconstructing right now and need to throw my thoughts into the void.
Honestly, christianity is centered around (Jesus) Christ, yet most of its followers are the most hateful and bitter people I've ever seen. Excluding people, judging, forcing them to do this or that... Jesus would probably piss them off irl too
“Did you grow up wanting to get pegged by Mrs. Doubtfire? No.” is one of the best lines I’ve heard regarding the “gay panic” that conservatives claim to exist.
"And it's like you don't necessarily sexualize everyone with a full chest" OH THEY DO. As someone with boobs that have tried to smother me in yoga, even in a crew neck tee I can be "inappropriate".
As a Pre-K teacher this nonsense disgusts me! I have students as young as 3 and a half telling me which colors they can and can’t use or that they can only use a certain color bathroom even though both bathrooms have the same stalls. It’s ridiculous the things they’ve learned so young. I wish we could have drag queens come and read to us because some students know “blue is for boys and pink for girl” but have zero early literacy skills.
What drives me further insane about the dumb color binary is that it's also completely arbitrary. They talk about gender norms like it's written in stone when in past societies men wore skirts, or robes, and had long hair that they possibly even braided themselves. As recently as the 1950s pink was considered a warm and masculine color, whereas blue was considered milder and softer, more appropriate for women. So it really doesn't matter either way, because society will always be changing its mind about what different aesthetics represent about the people expressing them.
Oh no I tell them all the time color is a preference like anything else. The example I give is that I love the color pink, my TA loves yellow and the aide loves blue but we are all girls. Then I ask them "Are you going to tell Ms...that she can't like blue". (The aide is an older lady who gives off stern vibes lol) Then the aide pouts and says "No way! I picked my favorite color already." We try to make it silly. The kids then join in and share their favorite colors and it's usually not an issue. The problem is parents Mostly the dads!@@ThatRedhedd
I'm go grossed out when ppl say "God knows you! He made you! He's know since you were a baby" bleeeeehhg! God watched my parents clap cheeks but couldn't tell my mom to not marry a sociopath? Thanks god!
So it’s ok for him to hate on them but not them hating on drag queen. GOD this country is fucked ass backwards on a Sunday. If you hate something why would you waste your breath speaking on it or them. So it’s only ok to spread hate about hate channels I mean because bad attention is still good attention . American Privilege is alive and well. Welcome to the New America people. We are one big laughing stock and this is just part of it. Let’s stop hate by spreading more hate makes perfect sense GOD forbid people should think for themselves and have a different opinion , clearly these girls are idiots she give them a platform, idea no platform no girls
On the note of the "it's not gonna lick itself" sign it's actually the sign of an ice cream shop next door. Kuncan Dastner has a great video on this called "the drag queen discourse"
Yo literally near my hometown we had a similar instance. There was an ice cream/ dessert shop with an Alice in Wonderland mural on the outside of the building. It showed a box full of sweets with one of them saying “ Eat Me”. The town prudes banded together and reported it for inappropriate content. And they won! The city’s “ official “ position was that there’s no permit for the mural , it was so stupid
Pretty bold move on their part acting like they have any room in dictating what's "family friendly" and not, considering they're directly related to a LITERAL Austrian Nazi and are pretty darn proud of it. Really makes you think a bit more about their stances on pretty much anything 🤔 Ah, I'm sure it's nothing though. Pure coincidence.
Side note: “It’s not gonna lick it, itself” sign was still up because they were giving out ice cream. So I think the girl defined girls are just thirsty.
@@ginao6810 Even if they can, family movies have innuendos 99% of the time, that's you know what partly makes them such good movies that adults will get things in ways kids don't. Go back and watch a lot of stuff you did as a kid, movies, shows, cartoons pretty much anything.
@@ukchanak actually I'm sure they didn't. Animaniacs would be far too spicy for them. They probably enjoyed the old racist Looney Tunes cartoons though.
Makes my skin crawl when these 2 act like they care about the well being of others while simultaneously blaming and attempting to discredit entire groups of people for just existing. If you're this bothered by the way complete strangers live their lives, you better look inwards to figure out why because that's definitely a you problem.
I garuntee you these women don’t even believe in mental health. But yet, they have no problem blaming “mental issues”, “anxiety issues”, and worse on gender identity. Sure, Jan.
@@Boochieween Pretty sure you're right. They've used the term "crazy girl emotions" and the way to combat the "crazy" is a healthy dose of prayer and giving all your problems to God. But if that doesn't help, it's your fault and you're not trusting in God enough. It's scary what they're doing because they're actually doing damage with their books and videos giving out advice while being completely unqualified and having zero credentials.
Their roots are telling me that they are rejecting God's design for them being brunettes. Their ends are also telling me that they are rejecting God's design for human hair and seem to be going for scarecrow hair.
I can’t believe it took me this long to put together, but these people see drag as sexualizing because they can’t see women as anything other than sex objects.
As a pagan, I’ll never forget the time Girl Defined railed against Halloween for being demonic-pagan-filth and then advised their viewers to instead celebrate by going to a “harvest festival”….. which is literally closer to Pagan tradition than celebrating in the modern way😩😂🤡 My point being, they don’t know what they’re talking about. I think it’s important to make it crystal clear that drag shows for adults are a totally different thing than drag events for children. Drag shows/events for children are designed for a young audience. They revolve around education, reading, or just wholesome fun. They don’t contain any of the more explicit language or themes that may be present at events suited for adults. Being against drag events for kids is like saying your kid can’t see Seussical because you saw Chicago once and thus, deam all musicals inappropriate for children. It’s abundantly clear Girl Defined’s issue isn’t actually with the content of the shows themselves though. They hate anyone who doesn’t fit into their narrow world view. Full stop. It’s nothing more than “think of the children” fear mongering in an attempt to sway moderates towards their evangelical right wing extremism. They don’t care about children, they only care about furthering their agenda.
They are willfully uneducated on everything they judge others for. And they obviously despise women! They sound so stupid af that they don't even know basic history or other common knowledge subjects but go on and on as if they do!
they've never cared about the children if they did, they'd be more concerned with predatory religious leaders instead of people living their lives and being happy
They’re the type of girls to love everything “autumn” except for Halloween itself and move right into Christmas November 1st because it’s “more important”.
I forgot Girl Defined still existed. I remember them being everything by the “good church girls” when I was in college several years ago. Now I can’t help but think… why do they care so much about gay people? Are they afraid of developing a personality spicier than printer paper?
Watch an interview with their husbands, then you might see why they care so much about gay people, lol. I imagine it’s something they wouldn’t think about nearly as much if they had both married straight guys. No one is experiencing any pleasure in those households and they want to make sure that you aren’t either!
I heard that one of their husbands went through c*nversion therapy (and claims himself to be "cured") so... Maybe that's part of why? I heard about it secondhand tho so I can't say for sure or give the source
My parents are older, religious, and probably not comfortable with drag shows. They deal with it by not going to drag shows. Nobody is forced to go to these shows. If it’s not your thing then don’t go. If you don’t want your kid exposed to a show, don’t take them to one. It’s not hard
As a person with a lifetime ban from the IBTC, thank you for pointing out how weird it is that they’re immediately over sexualizing a large chest. Like, I’m not attacking children because of my cup size, my dudes.
This witch hunt for drag queens breaks my heart. I’m literally tearing up watching this because I can’t understand how people have it in them to be so hateful and bitter. Just let people express themselves, it’s a beautiful thing. It’s the fun part of life, when you stifle that, what’s the point in living? Which obviously is the part of the thought process behind people who in the community who do take their lives. It’s just so ridiculous. I don’t understand how people can be so stupid.
Imo these people are so afraid of themselves and have such deep self loathing that they have to take everyone down with them to cope. It’s really fucking awful and sad.
I live in a society where this type of mindset is the norm (i live in saudi arabia) and yeah, even though i grew up here, i still cry about how people are willing to hate so much and not feel bad about it. When a queer person died here (her name is Sara Hegazy, she killed herself after getting prisoned for raising a flag at a concert, she got so many threats afterwards) people never felt bad for her, it was normal to see “she deserved that” comments. I cried so much at her last letter. Honestly living here as a queer person made me suicidal for as long as i can remember. Just recently there has been a fee of 3 MILLIONs saudi riyals and a prison sentence for at least 3 months¿ for anyone who expresses themselves as part of lgbtq+, they went as far as to burn and ban anything that has rainbows in it. No one talks enough about lgbtq+ discrimination in saudi arabia and middle east in general. It’s all because of islam. I’m still shocked at how religions can make people so cruel and harsh and abandon any kind of sympathy.
@@uncannedspaghetti Exactly. The Abrahamic religions have such a strong focus on condemning, oppressing and commodifying femininity and female sexuality. It leads to women who spend all day worrying about portraying virtue and believing they're lesser. It leads to men who are afraid of expressing any kind of femininity and softness, because what if someone thinks they are also lesser. But people don't actually work that way - we thrive when we're silly, open-minded and playful. They just can't deal with the reality of having been brainwashed by a system that wants to keep them small, so instead they keep trying to make everyone else feel equally small. It would be pathetic if it wasn't so sad
I work in a children’s library and we just *tried* to have a drag event for teens and news of it happening somehow spread to the wrong side of twitter and we go thousands of hateful calls, tweets, and emails calling us predators and groomers when all we were trying to do was show support for our queer youth. Over half my (library) dept is queer and it was really frustrating that we had to cancel for the safety of the kids due to the level of actual threats we got.
That is upsetting; I hope your library isn't in Portland because we have lots of (popular & successful) Drag storytime at public libraries here. I hope you are able to try again!! 💖
That’s actually wild bro💀 I just don’t understand people’s issue. Like it’s literally a story time it’s not even a performance in a club or anything💀 people just want to be mad and shift focus away from the real issue
And you know if you had someone femme presenting in a Clifford costume, nobody would have a hissy about Clifford being a boy dog. But as soon as it's drag, they sexualize it. They really can't imagine camp as an art.
As a kid, I was obsessed with Ursula. In my early teens, I was obsessed with Hairspray, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. I grew up to have a straight marriage, no more mental health issues than the average millennial, and an enduring love of bright lipstick and sparkly things. Horrifying to think what these kids might have ahead of them, if my experiences are anything to go by.
Ugh, this is how I was raised..I left at 14 and 4 years later I was a happily transitioning trans man. 11 years after that, I'm so incredibly happy and proud and so goddamn comforting. HERE, QUEER, GET USED TO IT!
When they say “whether we accept him or not” about “god” I legitimately feel sick. These people don’t want anyone to have freedom. They want Christianity to be compulsory.
@@cyberdaria maybe, but girl defined were being transphobic and queerphobic (cuz u don’t need to be trans to do drag) heteronormativity is when someone expects you to be straight but those two girls were being hateful not just expecting everyone to be straight and I don’t like when people hate on heterosexuality because there are trans, ace,aro people who are hetro and I wanted to make it clear. I hope you’re having a nice day
Fun fact: so Christianity is based on Judaism. Which means the Bible was originally written Hebrew. Hebrew is a gendered language (meaning it has feminine and masculine words) while English is not, so when translating the from English to Hebrew a lot of the Torah’s stories/ teaching were misinterpreted or lost. One thing that got lost in translation is that god changed genders MULTIPLE TIMES and had a few drag moments in between ! All I want to know is whose gonna tell them that “gods image” actually includes trans people and drag…
God is referred to as having male and female attributes in the bible. Also in heaven there is no male or female. They are choosing the wrong hill to die on. Years of brainwashing will make it hard for them to get well.
Very genuine question as a Jewish Studies person: Definitely with you on the translation issues and God being referred to by different genders at different times, and there are also some places where God is implied or even straight-up described as having a physical body, primarily in Genesis (unless you count God being embodied by fire and such later on) and probably as a vestige of the polytheism still present in ancient Israelite religion, but where is the God in drag coming from? I did hear a talk by Jericho Vincent about the discussion of some gender queerness with Joseph and his sister Dinah related to them being switched in the womb and the gendered connotations of some of the words describing them and their actions, which I think is really cool. And there's the whole "Six genders" thing. And on top of the gendered language translation issues, there's all the things that can't be truly understood because translation is never perfect, and we have very little cultural context. And connotation doesn't translate easily between even modern languages. (Also, sorry if I seriously overexplained everything in that first paragraph; you probably knew all that, but I figure a lot of people who would come across this don't, and also I am bad at editing myself when discussing a special interest.
To point out some clarity, the whole Bible wasn't written in Hebrew. The Old Testament was mostly Hebrew (with a little bit of Aramaic sprinkled in I think in Ezra) but the New Testament was written in Greek.
My thing is, how is drag any different than hiring a clown for a birthday party. I would argue clowns have done more harm to children than drag queens ever have but you can still hire them for events!
I was terrified of clowns as a child--to the point that when the Town Clown (I'm dating myself here--grew up in the 60s) showed up on Captain Kangaroo, my mom had to change the channel. Drag queens wouldn't have scared me one bit at that age.
@@babsb9889 Okay but for whatever reason any character on TV in the 60s looked like nightmare fuel. It's like whimsy hadn't been invented yet and costume/makeup ppl were still coping with fear of nuclear winter.
I agree, I had a clown spotting outside my middle school during the 2016 clown epidemic, and it had a "weapon" and made violent comments towards us kids!! The worst thing I had a drag queen say to me was that I should dump my ex 😂
"It won't lick itself" was a sign up behind an ice cream counter, someone said on twitter. Playful double entendre? Probably. But in the actual context? Not at all inappropriate. It's no worse than the Animaniacs having jokes like "Finger Prince?" for adults to get something out of it the kids don't. Difference is there are grownass adults who now can't comprehend wordplay :P I've been to a couple of drag shows and nothing bad happened. I went to church and go abused and fucked up for life. I'd send my kids to a drag show before church any day, it's far less dangerous.
Honestly the more they post the more obvious it gets that these women are insane and have never made a choice in their life. Maybe they are just spiteful that people have the nerve to what makes them happy and live authentically when they can't. They were brainwashed into not being allowed the option of true self expression. Exploring who you are is a wonderful thing. I'm gender fluid and although that's just what I identify as, learning and becoming who I am now has been a wonderful journey
Idk why anyone would hold their life to standards from the 7th century its like LARPing as modern person w historical beliefs while using a phone. Like thats confusing Pick👏 a 👏struggle.
Aren't they also like... Spinster crones? Didn't they save it for marriage and just get old instead? That's gotta suck ETA: written as a proud spinster crones
As a mother of 2: - I'd rather have my kids around a drag queen than any Christian leader. - It's practically CHARITY. They are giving their time to help educate the children. They have no self-serving desire to be around these loud little germ factories.
@@TheKatarinaGiselle Or, stay with me here, they're my kids so I'll take them to drag queen story time if I want to, and you can keep yours away if you'd like. Keep sweet!
@@TheKatarinaGiselle parents aren't taking their kids to a full blown drag show? From what I understand it's a fun event for kids. They aren't teaching kids how to be pegged they're teaching kids acceptance of people that have different lifestyles, and if one of those kids isn't cishetero and dosent realize it yet, having those positive interactions and learning that it's ok can do wonders for their mental health
As a gay man who grew up in a Christian household, I cannot stand Christians. I started refusing to go to church as soon as I was old enough to stay home alone because of the persecution.
Yeah … I was raised Mormon and began raising my kid as one. One day he refused to go to church and I asked why. He proceeded to go down a list of why church was messed up and why he refused to go. My husband and I couldn’t argue with him. His logic was sound AF. (Plus, even when we were Mormon, we weren’t the kind of parents to force our kid to go to church.) Our kid was 9 years old. His reasoning freed me to finally address the doubts gnawing at me my whole life. A lot of (messed up) things happened along the way but I credit my child for opening the door leading our family out of religion and into freedom.
@@sirdidymus24 Wow, it sounds like you have raised a very intelligent boy. I'm glad you were able to have some introspection into the reasons you believed what you did. I'm not inherently against people being religious. It certainly has its place in people's lives. What I am against is people using their religion as justification for bigotry and hatred. As well as denying science in favor of fantasy. There are certainly religious people who don't do that, but the majority (in my experience) do unfortunately. At the end of the day, no matter what you believe all religions are fantasy. None of it is real. If it makes people feel good to believe it that's great. The trouble arises when they take it to the extreme and use it to spread hate towards others. Fortunately, my parents came around. My mom and dad are still religious, but they are no longer bigoted religious extremists. My father is still a republican, unfortunately. But my mom is a full on liberal democrat which I never thought would happen when I was a kid. I'm proud of her growth as a human being.
I always get so sad when I remember girl defined isn't a parody channel. Like, How to wear makeup in a God honouring way is genuinely the funniest title. Such a waste
I’m pro drag queens as role models for my children. Positive energy, wearing what makes you feel awesome, reading stories, inclusivity… Better than the Christians hanging ancient torture symbols all over town and judging everybody 🤷♀️
"Ancient torture symbols" 🤣 just too true. I talked toy husband about that because right before our road there are 3 crosses. And I commented how creepy it is lol. Could you imagine large scale guillotines just hanging out around the country 😵
i absolutely agree with this as a girl who grew up with influence from drag queens and queer people in general. my parents were bffs with our neighbors who were gay men, so we always went over to their house for parties and stuff. i have such good memories of playing fetch with the dog, talking to amazing people, and mixing unholy combinations of coca cola and fanta at the drink table. i remember meeting a drag queen there for the first time and being obsessed with her blue hair and dangly earrings. i still think she's so cool lol. me and my mom also regularly watched ru paul's drag race together when i was a kid. it's prob why i never really freaked out when i realized i myself was a queer girl 🤪 i swear puritanical christians don't know what fun is (also something i didn't grow up with since my church was super accepting of everybody from every walk of life). p.s. me and my family have since moved out of state but we still come around for parties at our old neighbors' place 😊
These are the same women that said wearing your hair in a braid is a sin… while having braided hair!! And if they mean African American braids then that’s even more fucked up
@@nailinthefashion thats not "African American." Americans have nothing to do with it's origin and they aren't the only country that does "corn rows." Saying black is ok. It's a black hairstyle. Commonly used by black people or people that are mixed because the hair texture supports it. Don't need to break your back being PC.
6:22- as a parent myself, taking my kids to something like a drag queen read along is to keep the kids entertained and for me to see other adults! I’m sure my kids would love a drag story time. Heck, I’d love a drag queen story time!
Right ☝️😭😂 I actually work with an entertainment company that focuses on circus acts, dance/art instructors, characters. Etc. for kids parties. I'd never thought of drag Queens being a fun addition to a kids party 🙂☝️ but im gonna bring it up next time I'm at the office. Drag story-time sounds really cute 😌👏👏👏
If I had kids, I’d be all about drag queen reading events. Given how visual kids are, a drag queen’s makeup is going to draw their attention and make them listen MUCH better than my tired face!
My brother and I grew up doing each other's make up. (I used to make him do lolita w me he looked like the cutest doll 🥺). I also took him into my home at 13 and helped him get away from our homophobic abusive father cause he is openly gay (I'm bi but never told my dads family). Our dad made us so blindly hateful that it took so much deprograming to shake off the indoctrination. These are the same type of ppl that applaud a person doing gay conversion therapy (like what they wanted my brother to do) while crying about DRAG QUEENS minding their own business. As an ELEMENTARY in their state was shot up. kids and teachers died. Bigger priorities, tasteless hags. We went to church growing up w a man who went to conversion therapy and was a "reformed gay" they'd prop him up to talk about how he is celibate and how conversion therapy works. Before I knew that I thght He was the nicest man but he always had the saddest eyes and smile I never knew why as a kid. The day I was old enough to stay in w the adults and hear him speak my heart shattered. I cried. He was so nice he didn't deserve that. I refused to let my brother ever have that zombified look I saw on him. No trans people are forcing anyone to be trans, no drag queens are forcing ppl to be in drag.
Those girl defined girls are DEEP in the Sunken Place. Sis literally said she was terrified of the concept of personal autonomy and free will. These girls would probably read the Handmaid's Tale and unironically cry and what an uplifting tale it is.
I’m from Boston, Massachusetts and summered on the Cape. Spent lots of time in P-town (a beautiful LGBTQ+ beach community) so I basically grew up around drag queens. There are queens all over P-town selling tickets to their night shows. I can honestly tell you, they had zero negative effect on my life or development except maybe making me wish I had long legs because my mother always said “they have the best legs” 😂😂😂
Imagine being so mad that someone wants to read to kids while wearing cool clothes and makeup. Are The Straights okay? Blink twice if you need help and someone will send you A Safety Queer to your aid.
Took my kids to Drag Queen Story Time a few years back. it was great. Lots of kid-friendly songs. Lots of stories about accepting yourself no matter what. It was so great. I wish my city would bring it back.
You should see the episode where the one on the right and her husband talk about how awful their sex life is. Unwittingly hilarious. BTW "off the rales"?!
They finally reached that desperate bottom for attention and victimhood when Nick making a video about these respectable and defined girls… cough cough ADULT WOMEN. Internalized misogyny and overall self hatred are one hell of a drug!
"The Gays got the mimosa jugs; YOU get to eat at the church bake sale." --- Nick, the absolute unit, able to hit Peak Sass before the 2min mark & sustain, sustain, sustain. --- (also maybe a good quote for next wave o' merch?)
I admit it, Drag Queens did it - they cheered me up when I had a difficult time with their exuberance, their artistry, their talents, and their amazing humor. It is ALL their fault I didn't sink deeper into depression. Honestly, I am the mother of a trans son, and I get terrified by rhetoric like this because it is so dangerous! My son is an amazing, intelligent, honest, caring person who I am proud to say is my child. I couldn't be more proud of him for being strong, and brave, enough to live his truth in a society that is so insanely biased against him and other LGBTQ+ people. I should not have to live in fear for my son's safety from people like them and the fearmongering they cultivate. While I laughed along with your video and your assessment of these bigots, it scared me even more that this rhetoric of theirs is allowed to exist on RUclips. You are right, their whole video was a bunch of alarmist, hate speech.
I took my family to a pride festival in denver. We had so much fun at the drag show. My daughter walked away with a backpack full of swag and I gained 10 pounds in funnel cake.
A lot of drag queens don’t let children into their shows for a reason so I don’t understand the rhetoric. Plus, the drag queen readings is interesting for kids because they just see it as someone playing dress up .
If they were REALLY concerned about mental health, they would use their abundant energy & resources to push for better mental health services for all. But I'd be willing to bet they are also against expanding Medicare or ACA.
They’re just mad that the drag queens don’t do their make up in a “god fearing” way. I mean of course kids love drag queens. They’re essentially clowns! A person dressed up in big bright eye catching out fits with a pound of make up on that makes you laugh (and sometimes cry). My nephew loves the library drag hour
The only difference is that a bunch of predators dressed up in pounds of makeup and threatened to harm people in October 2016, and the others are drag queens. (Clown Invasion was the last season that time felt real tbh)
These girls are so worried about going to hell and suffering and yet their whole lives are just being bland and not having fun 💀couldn’t be me love the video Nick😂
Man, I could have saved myself so much therapy if I knew your lack of gender conformity was responsible for my anxiety disorder! I hope they make a follow up video about which oppressed minority is causing my OCD.
I grew up in an LGBTQ house, what's weird to me is hearing people talk about how gay/trans messes kids up (it doesn't). I can personally tell you the only thing that's a "mockery" is random people worrying about strangers sexual preferences... ETA lmao their hair
My favorite thing about Nick's videos are his very astute politics. This made too much sense, it made me think, being an "ally" is more than just speaking positively about queer people, but maybe taking my son to a show, or a parade, so he can see positive representation, and have fun. Oh, plus, his jokes are pretty great too
I struggled a lot with my self identity growing up. When I was in high school I started going to drag shows at a local (non-alcohol serving) club that allowed 16-17 year olds until 11pm, mainly because it was one of the only things we could do as restless teens with home lives we would rather avoid. I didn't even fully know what drag was at first, but I vibed so hard with the theater aspects that I got hooked real quick. Some of my best memories are sitting on a patio surrounded by drag queens smoking cigarettes and shooting the shit or sweating profusely in a little curtained off area trying to pin a wig to a moving target. The confidence was infectious, and I needed it. That was where I learned that the definition of who I am can only be written by me and to be unashamed of whoever that is. I would gladly trade all my church memories for that club to have survived the pandemic (It did not).
Any "Christians" proclaiming God hates anything are suffering through some intense cognitive dissonance. The great Creator made all of us and hates none of us and their own "good book" tells them that being judgmental like this is going to send them to their own version of hell, and it says this *very plainly* . Maybe they should try reading their entire book and reflecting on it and getting off the internet for awhile, like, forever.
I'm pretty sure that drag event with the "it's not gonna lick itself" sign was in a chain ice cream parlor, NOT a night club, so they were just lying about that
You are 💯 correct!!! The Dallas cowboy cheerleaders are more suggestive. It's just an excuse to project their self loathing onto LGBTQIA individuals. Also, they need to learn some color correcting techniques from those drag queens for those under eye circles bc mama!!!
I love how they seem to think people go through all the 'options' as if they're deciding what color to paint their living room. Standing in front of a mirror holding up different gender swatches debating between Ivory Gender and Eggshell Gender. They're just definitions, yo. You just find the one that describes the way you already feel. I bet they get overwhelmed at the "how are you feeling" option on FB, there's just so many options how do you pick which emotion you want be?!
i like how they said drag was ruining mental health but then have done podcasts with people who r “ex” gay when multiple people who’ve been apart of the ex gay movement or have done conversion therapy have unalived themselves
I started going to drag shows many years ago in high school. My friends and I would get decked out in our Hot Topic alt gear and go to downtown Oklahoma City and spend all night at the Wreck Room. The queens were fabulous and I'll never forget those memories!!

Question: WHY would a CREATOR GOD (YHWH) be interested (or excited) in a group of grown up MEN playing DRESS-UP and then having competitions to see whose fancy dress costume is “the best”??
Do YOU find that fun or entertaining? Really??
There’s a verse in the Bible that goes something like this: “When you grow up, drop the childish things and be a grown up”.
Drop your childish habits and just be a grown up. Leave fancy dress Halloween costume parties alone.

Every accusation is a confession
A system where it's codified that men are next to godliness and the only ones fit to rule, and women are commodities for men - of course it attracts predatory and mentally weak men in hordes 🙄 when are these people finally going to get a clue and abolish their sexist beliefs
Exactly what I thought!!!! 🧚♂️
When she said “God made me to be a woman” my first thought was “well God also made you to have brown hair but clearly y’all didn’t give a shit about what God made you to be then so” 🤷♀️😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao I literally thought the exact same thing, they're so nonsensical 🙄
You should have seen the episode on how to use makeup in a "godly" way. They read a verse about how a woman should dress, and in the list of things not allowed was - I shit you not - no braided hair. They BOTH had their hair braided, didn't bat an eye, didn't bring it up, and went on to talk about eyeliner and shit that isn't mentioned in the Bible AT ALL.
@@DimaRakesah omg YES, that was so???????? i guess we shouldn't be surprised by people picking and choosing what to reinforce and what to throw away from the bible, but the fact that they CHOSE to film that despite the hypocrisy is wild
They've gotta try and look like their n@zi great grandparents, God honoring Aryan hair
These two ladies being "scared" and "overwhelmed" about having CHOICES for how they decide to live their life is seriously sad.
It just goes to show how so many of these fanatics just need some therapy and emotional intelligence
No no you can't be anything you want! That's confusing!!
strong “we never asked for the vote!” energy
Bethany literally once said “just tell me the rules and I’ll follow them.” They found making decisions regarding makeup super hard because the Bible isn’t specific on how to wear your makeup.
These two also "suffered from same-sex attraction." They could have been so different.
"You don't necessarily sexualize anyone with a chest."
Nick, you're giving them too much credit. These are absolutely the type of people to think that big bazoingos = temptress
Me and my DDDs are proud to be a temptress
Considering I got slut shamed as a literal child because of how I developed despite the fact that I only ever wore loose T-shirts, this is terrifyingly accurate and it made me feel like I was a garbage human being just for my genetics.

As a trans person who works with kids (summer camp right now, in college for a teaching degree), my biggest problem is the stereotype of trans people as predators and unnatural. This idea that I’m somehow confusing or dangerous to my kids, when the truth is, my gender identity has nothing to do with my work with kids. I’m tired of being demonized in my line of work.
Ugh I can’t imagine how tough it must be to be a trans person in education or childcare right now. I feel for you 💖 Mad respect to you for continuing to pursue your dreams in the face of these crazies
I'm so, so sorry you have to deal with that. Demonizing good people as groomers is absolutely disgusting and says far more about the people who would believe such a thing, just because they don't understand you or your life, is abhorrent.
@@ShannaRiley we almost have the same name!!
I don't understand it. There are some for sure but there are also predators that wear business suits ...they come in all colors
Yeah as a trans person abt to go into subbing to see if I have the temperament for teaching I am. Very scared (lives in tennesee and doesn't know what honorific won't get me in trouble)
The most telling part for me is when she is talking about rejecting her creator, whether or not you acknowledge it. Is basically saying you have to play and follow my christian rules whether or not you are indeed a christian. It is so gross and a big part of this whole christian nationalism problem.
Well put! Its scary because it's not just being forced Christian but their specific beliefs within Christianity. They even publicly bully other Christians accepting of LGBTQ+ identifying ppl.
What are we supposed to do? Chug cheap wine and put up live love laugh signs while accepting a sub par life like them? Sorry sweety.
Yeaaaa, that part DEF caught my ear too

Being a cis het white male I would just like to say that we are perfectly capable of manifesting crippling depression and other life shattering mental health issues without exposure to the LGBTQ community thank you very much.
No kidding. And if you were trans and forcing yourself to live as a cishet man out of shame and fear of eternal damnation I'm confident that the crippling depression would be that much worse.
Lmaoooooo you sir are legit
This. This I can agree with. Even as one of them gays.
Yeah, don’t take away the credit for my own crippling depression. I put in long hours in having a monthly existential crisis and being queer has nothing to do with it.

Two words Fundie Fridays
Also a fun place that sometimes drags Kristen and Bethy
@@ckilbarger01 oh my god yes I was litterly just about to say that!!
Also, Trixie Mattel made a vid on them🤘
Sooooo Bethy is against Drag Queens cause they are ‘a bad influence for children’ but she’s totally fine with following Debbie Pearl’s methods of raising a child which involves physical abuse of children. Saw in a tweet she was excited to start blanket training her young child. (Basically involves putting your baby down on a blanket and then calling them over to you, and when they leave the blanket you hit them. Supposedly teaches them to stay where they are put regardless. Absolutely disgusting just like bethy is)
dude i literally remember my parents doing similar things to me, like i remember basically nothing of my childhood, but i have this very vivid memory of me at age.. 1 or 2? sitting there with a blackboard in front of me and a pencil.
my dad would tell me to write on the blackboard with the pencil, and when i did he slapped me, i guess to teach me not to use pencils on blackboards (why was that a vital piece of information for me to learn at age 2, your guess is as good as mine) and i would start crying and get so confused cause like, i literally just did what you asked me to do, why are you punishing me.
the fact that i still remember it probably says a lot about how confusing and, well, maybe traumatizing, of an experience it was for me... the fact that ""experts"" are recommending such a treatment is... w o w
Oh my god. I have no words for how horrendous, hypocritical, and all around AWFUL that is. And the prospect that this lady is EXCITED to start conditioning her child by hitting them?? Good god. Just wow.
I have never heard of this, wow it's cruel
So she's going to... punish her baby... for minding her?
Horrendous
It’s worth noting, their not-so long dead ancestors were Nazis in Austria. They downplay that fact, while also not denying it or being critical of it. Bethany in particular is proud that she resembles their great grandmother, and has shared a picture of her in her god-honoring 🙄 Hitler youth uniform.
It's always worth noting this. Honestly people should spam their replies with this and then report the whole video for hate speech, since it is.
Yup! Their great grandfather was a Nazi mayor
Woooooowwww, horrific. Thank you for informing us!
OOP
Yeah, and they also proudly shared photos with them posed next to their graves AND outside the giant “family house” their Great Grandfather-who with his Nazi friends-took from a Jewish family in that town (they were dragged out of their home-probably on Christal Nacht
-or one like it in Austria-in which the family was thrown out of the house and shipped to a ghetto and most likely Concentration Camp after that). So now there are probably a lot of decent human beings NOT here (possibly a drag queen or two). Instead, we have Bethany and Kristin (🤮) in a picture bragging about “family heritage,” and spewing this BS.
"i can't respect your god, i read his book and he sounds like a tool. " I AM DEAD here is 5$ for such a beautiful line.

now why'd you have to make this so funny. I should be taking this seriously 😂😂😂
edit: to be clear, I only found the nickname funny, not the situation the kids are in.
LOL
When people talk about kids doing drag, they're usually talking about kids putting on colorful wigs and jumping around singing their favorite songs. That's called dress up. The only places where kids are being told to shake their hips while wearing bikinis are child beauty pageants and Trump rallies.
When I was in college, I gave a speech about my trans identity (it was a dang speech class y'all) and after, a girl who looked exactly like them handed me a letter saying she desperately needed to talk to me. When we talked after, she tried to convince me that I hated god because I was rejecting his plan for me. These girls might not be saying the quiet part out loud, but that is what they believe. Oh, and that girl stalked me for the rest of the semester. She kept leaving notes in my car--They do believe that it's part of their faith to convert us to jesus or whatever.
That last part is something I think the rest of the world needs to be reminded of more often. "Why can't they just let us be? Why are they being hypocritical instead of giving a fair chance to other beliefs and opinions?" Because Christians believe they're obligated to make everyone Christian. It's one of their foundational beliefs. You can't trip up a Christian by saying "Haha, you said you wanted freedom of religion, but then you failed to give religious freedom to anyone but yourself! Checkmate!" That's the point, that's the point, that's the point!
As a trans Christian I am so sorry, I promise not all Christians are like this, we accept gay + trans rights ! The bible has been edited to control people, Christianity is about loving and respecting others, NOT controlling others like these two idiots
@d b Buddy, I'm gonna try to say this as nicely as I possibly can cause you seem like you've got your heart in the right place, but you've done a lot here to say you believe 'love the sinner, hate the sin'--As if Jesus still loves queer people despite being 'screwed up, wayward, misguided'. You compare being queer to Judas betraying Jesus--What ARE you talking about? You seem to consider yourself an ally, but this is not allyship. It reeks of the same bigotry & superiority I was shown in college. You are not 'one of the good ones' when you talk like this to queer folks.
You should just turn it back, and say jesus wants her to get rid of her hate.

an ALL loving god wouldn't shun whole groups of people, hell his son didn't either. Anyone who uses religion as a means of controlling other's lifestyle so they can't argue against it is a coward. If something makes you uncomfortable, like your daughter going out in a short skirt own up to it and admit why that's upsetting or worrying to YOU. Don't shame people with faith, and dire consequences like a painful afterlife. "Because God said so" is the laziest, most manipulative trash excuse to use against anyone.

@@Cici_CMJ exactly! That's how they get you! They rope you in with stories about Jesus so much that it becomes nostalgic, preach love thy neighbor as thy self, do unto others as you would yourself (😏), love is patient, love is kind and then you age out of Sunday school at like 15 and they're like "the presence of your shoulders turns on pastor Dave! Don't be such a sinful sl*t!", "being gay is bad, but don't hate the sinner, hate the sin, unless the sinner is you, then you better hate yourself", "we're all trash and undeserving of love! We all deserve to burn in hell! But because god is such a good person, he loves us even though we're garbage!"
I was ready to eat it up, but then they told me to read my Bible, ask questions and "struggle." Basically to use my brain. And that's why I couldn't drink the kool-aid anymore. Why would God be mad at muslims/buddhists/hindus/pegans etc. for guessing wrong about the origin of the universe? Why would God who is supposedly a perfect being, be jealous? Why would premarital sex be a sin? Why would acting on gay feelings be a sin? Why would a perfect and loving God ask a man to hand over his virgin daughters to be r*ped by soldiers to protect angels and then refer to that man as a righteous man? Why would God send bears to kill teenagers for calling a preacher bald?
Sorry, I'm deconstructing right now and need to throw my thoughts into the void.
I've never heard any evidence expressing why anyone should agree for the common claim that God actually is all loving, or even slightly kind?
Honestly, christianity is centered around (Jesus) Christ, yet most of its followers are the most hateful and bitter people I've ever seen. Excluding people, judging, forcing them to do this or that... Jesus would probably piss them off irl too
“Did you grow up wanting to get pegged by Mrs. Doubtfire? No.” is one of the best lines I’ve heard regarding the “gay panic” that conservatives claim to exist.

"And it's like you don't necessarily sexualize everyone with a full chest" OH THEY DO. As someone with boobs that have tried to smother me in yoga, even in a crew neck tee I can be "inappropriate".
As a Pre-K teacher this nonsense disgusts me! I have students as young as 3 and a half telling me which colors they can and can’t use or that they can only use a certain color bathroom even though both bathrooms have the same stalls. It’s ridiculous the things they’ve learned so young. I wish we could have drag queens come and read to us because some students know “blue is for boys and pink for girl” but have zero early literacy skills.
What drives me further insane about the dumb color binary is that it's also completely arbitrary. They talk about gender norms like it's written in stone when in past societies men wore skirts, or robes, and had long hair that they possibly even braided themselves. As recently as the 1950s pink was considered a warm and masculine color, whereas blue was considered milder and softer, more appropriate for women. So it really doesn't matter either way, because society will always be changing its mind about what different aesthetics represent about the people expressing them.
Heck Jesus himself has long hair and wear a robe. They really pick and choose. 🙄
Do you tell them they can use or wear any color and that colors aren't only for boys or only for girls? Or, would you be crucified if you did?
Oh no I tell them all the time color is a preference like anything else. The example I give is that I love the color pink, my TA loves yellow and the aide loves blue but we are all girls. Then I ask them "Are you going to tell Ms...that she can't like blue". (The aide is an older lady who gives off stern vibes lol) Then the aide pouts and says "No way! I picked my favorite color already." We try to make it silly. The kids then join in and share their favorite colors and it's usually not an issue. The problem is parents Mostly the dads!@@ThatRedhedd

So it’s ok for him to hate on them but not them hating on drag queen. GOD this country is fucked ass backwards on a Sunday. If you hate something why would you waste your breath speaking on it or them. So it’s only ok to spread hate about hate channels I mean because bad attention is still good attention
. American Privilege is alive and well. Welcome to the New America people. We are one big laughing stock and this is just part of it. Let’s stop hate by spreading more hate makes perfect sense GOD forbid people should think for themselves and have a different opinion , clearly these girls are idiots she give them a platform, idea no platform no girls
On the note of the "it's not gonna lick itself" sign it's actually the sign of an ice cream shop next door. Kuncan Dastner has a great video on this called "the drag queen discourse"
I knew I'd heard of this it's not gonna lick itself "controversy" before!
Yep, I heard about it from the Knowlege Fight podcast when Alex Jones flipped his shit about it.
Looking up Kuncan Dastner 👍
loving their misinformation!!! how awful!!
Yo literally near my hometown we had a similar instance. There was an ice cream/ dessert shop with an Alice in Wonderland mural on the outside of the building. It showed a box full of sweets with one of them saying “ Eat Me”. The town prudes banded together and reported it for inappropriate content. And they won! The city’s “ official “ position was that there’s no permit for the mural , it was so stupid
Pretty bold move on their part acting like they have any room in dictating what's "family friendly" and not, considering they're directly related to a LITERAL Austrian Nazi and are pretty darn proud of it. Really makes you think a bit more about their stances on pretty much anything 🤔
Ah, I'm sure it's nothing though. Pure coincidence.
"did u grow up wanting to get pegged by mrs doubtfire" is truly the most effective argument for family-friendly drag shows i've ever heard
Side note: “It’s not gonna lick it, itself” sign was still up because they were giving out ice cream. So I think the girl defined girls are just thirsty.
Do they know toddlers can’t read?
@@ginao6810 Even if they can, family movies have innuendos 99% of the time, that's you know what partly makes them such good movies that adults will get things in ways kids don't. Go back and watch a lot of stuff you did as a kid, movies, shows, cartoons pretty much anything.
Gross I don't want to think about their weird jesus mouths
@@sirherothebrave yeah i guess they never watched Animaniacs
@@ukchanak actually I'm sure they didn't. Animaniacs would be far too spicy for them. They probably enjoyed the old racist Looney Tunes cartoons though.
The neon sign…was also at an ice cream place. The drag performers were hired for a kids bday party at an ice cream shop. Hence the licking sign.
Wow, twisting the truth to push their agenda??? They would never!
BOOST THIS
Makes my skin crawl when these 2 act like they care about the well being of others while simultaneously blaming and attempting to discredit entire groups of people for just existing. If you're this bothered by the way complete strangers live their lives, you better look inwards to figure out why because that's definitely a you problem.
This!!, the call is coming from in the house👀 lol they know it and trying so hard to avoid answering it
Christians be wilding
I garuntee you these women don’t even believe in mental health. But yet, they have no problem blaming “mental issues”, “anxiety issues”, and worse on gender identity. Sure, Jan.
@@Boochieween Pretty sure you're right. They've used the term "crazy girl emotions" and the way to combat the "crazy" is a healthy dose of prayer and giving all your problems to God. But if that doesn't help, it's your fault and you're not trusting in God enough. It's scary what they're doing because they're actually doing damage with their books and videos giving out advice while being completely unqualified and having zero credentials.
Their roots are telling me that they are rejecting God's design for them being brunettes. Their ends are also telling me that they are rejecting God's design for human hair and seem to be going for scarecrow hair.
I can’t believe it took me this long to put together, but these people see drag as sexualizing because they can’t see women as anything other than sex objects.
Yoooo that is succinct and definitely checks out, seeing as they think being female is one of the worst sins and the cause of all evil
thats such a great point that u just made...thank u
That is my theory to. That's why they don't care if women dress in men's clothes.
OMG, it's so disgusting, but true!
As a pagan, I’ll never forget the time Girl Defined railed against Halloween for being demonic-pagan-filth and then advised their viewers to instead celebrate by going to a “harvest festival”….. which is literally closer to Pagan tradition than celebrating in the modern way😩😂🤡
My point being, they don’t know what they’re talking about.
I think it’s important to make it crystal clear that drag shows for adults are a totally different thing than drag events for children.
Drag shows/events for children are designed for a young audience. They revolve around education, reading, or just wholesome fun. They don’t contain any of the more explicit language or themes that may be present at events suited for adults.
Being against drag events for kids is like saying your kid can’t see Seussical because you saw Chicago once and thus, deam all musicals inappropriate for children.
It’s abundantly clear Girl Defined’s issue isn’t actually with the content of the shows themselves though. They hate anyone who doesn’t fit into their narrow world view. Full stop. It’s nothing more than “think of the children” fear mongering in an attempt to sway moderates towards their evangelical right wing extremism. They don’t care about children, they only care about furthering their agenda.
Somehow the fact that these two hate Halloween does not surprise me
They are willfully uneducated on everything they judge others for. And they obviously despise women! They sound so stupid af that they don't even know basic history or other common knowledge subjects but go on and on as if they do!
It also shows the lack of knowledge of their own religion. Halloween is tied with one of the holiest solemnities of Christianity as well.
they've never cared about the children
if they did, they'd be more concerned with predatory religious leaders instead of people living their lives and being happy
They’re the type of girls to love everything “autumn” except for Halloween itself and move right into Christmas November 1st because it’s “more important”.
I forgot Girl Defined still existed. I remember them being everything by the “good church girls” when I was in college several years ago. Now I can’t help but think… why do they care so much about gay people? Are they afraid of developing a personality spicier than printer paper?
Watch an interview with their husbands, then you might see why they care so much about gay people, lol. I imagine it’s something they wouldn’t think about nearly as much if they had both married straight guys. No one is experiencing any pleasure in those households and they want to make sure that you aren’t either!
Well, if they aren't attracted to their husbands maybe they should re-evaluate their relationship.
Just to be clear, people can have personalities outside their sexualities
I heard that one of their husbands went through c*nversion therapy (and claims himself to be "cured") so... Maybe that's part of why?
I heard about it secondhand tho so I can't say for sure or give the source
@@Gxylord He went twice lol

@@afoolishfopdoodle3284 Bethany said this in a video of theirs
@@Mels0103 Somehow I'm not surprised
My parents are older, religious, and probably not comfortable with drag shows. They deal with it by not going to drag shows. Nobody is forced to go to these shows. If it’s not your thing then don’t go. If you don’t want your kid exposed to a show, don’t take them to one. It’s not hard
As a person with a lifetime ban from the IBTC, thank you for pointing out how weird it is that they’re immediately over sexualizing a large chest. Like, I’m not attacking children because of my cup size, my dudes.
I mean, unless those kids stand way too close and you turn too fast.
I'm definitely not speaking from experience. 👀
This witch hunt for drag queens breaks my heart. I’m literally tearing up watching this because I can’t understand how people have it in them to be so hateful and bitter.
Just let people express themselves, it’s a beautiful thing. It’s the fun part of life, when you stifle that, what’s the point in living? Which obviously is the part of the thought process behind people who in the community who do take their lives.
It’s just so ridiculous. I don’t understand how people can be so stupid.
Imo these people are so afraid of themselves and have such deep self loathing that they have to take everyone down with them to cope. It’s really fucking awful and sad.
I live in a society where this type of mindset is the norm (i live in saudi arabia) and yeah, even though i grew up here, i still cry about how people are willing to hate so much and not feel bad about it. When a queer person died here (her name is Sara Hegazy, she killed herself after getting prisoned for raising a flag at a concert, she got so many threats afterwards) people never felt bad for her, it was normal to see “she deserved that” comments. I cried so much at her last letter. Honestly living here as a queer person made me suicidal for as long as i can remember. Just recently there has been a fee of 3 MILLIONs saudi riyals and a prison sentence for at least 3 months¿ for anyone who expresses themselves as part of lgbtq+, they went as far as to burn and ban anything that has rainbows in it. No one talks enough about lgbtq+ discrimination in saudi arabia and middle east in general. It’s all because of islam. I’m still shocked at how religions can make people so cruel and harsh and abandon any kind of sympathy.
@@glowrillaz I’m so sorry. I hope you can leave at some point.
@@uncannedspaghetti Exactly. The Abrahamic religions have such a strong focus on condemning, oppressing and commodifying femininity and female sexuality.
It leads to women who spend all day worrying about portraying virtue and believing they're lesser. It leads to men who are afraid of expressing any kind of femininity and softness, because what if someone thinks they are also lesser.
But people don't actually work that way - we thrive when we're silly, open-minded and playful.
They just can't deal with the reality of having been brainwashed by a system that wants to keep them small, so instead they keep trying to make everyone else feel equally small. It would be pathetic if it wasn't so sad
@@glowrillaz rest in peace, Sara 🏳️🌈❤️
I hope you'll be free one day, glowrillaz. None of us are free until all of us are free
I work in a children’s library and we just *tried* to have a drag event for teens and news of it happening somehow spread to the wrong side of twitter and we go thousands of hateful calls, tweets, and emails calling us predators and groomers when all we were trying to do was show support for our queer youth. Over half my (library) dept is queer and it was really frustrating that we had to cancel for the safety of the kids due to the level of actual threats we got.
I’m so sorry, as a drag queen I know how frustrating this is
People are sick. And I definitely don't mean the drag queens or y'all. I can't imagine threatening anyone over something not even for me.
That is upsetting; I hope your library isn't in Portland because we have lots of (popular & successful) Drag storytime at public libraries here. I hope you are able to try again!! 💖
That’s actually wild bro💀 I just don’t understand people’s issue. Like it’s literally a story time it’s not even a performance in a club or anything💀 people just want to be mad and shift focus away from the real issue
And you know if you had someone femme presenting in a Clifford costume, nobody would have a hissy about Clifford being a boy dog. But as soon as it's drag, they sexualize it. They really can't imagine camp as an art.
As a kid, I was obsessed with Ursula. In my early teens, I was obsessed with Hairspray, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
I grew up to have a straight marriage, no more mental health issues than the average millennial, and an enduring love of bright lipstick and sparkly things. Horrifying to think what these kids might have ahead of them, if my experiences are anything to go by.
You poor thing, growing up to have excellent taste! How do you manage to live day to day?!
"no more mental health issues than the average millennial" oh wow I felt that in my millennial bones
Ugh, this is how I was raised..I left at 14 and 4 years later I was a happily transitioning trans man. 11 years after that, I'm so incredibly happy and proud and so goddamn comforting. HERE, QUEER, GET USED TO IT!
When they say “whether we accept him or not” about “god” I legitimately feel sick. These people don’t want anyone to have freedom. They want Christianity to be compulsory.
So scary, and wrong, but true!
If you believe the christian god literally exists, christianity *is* compulsory the same way that gravity is.
We truly need to call out toxic heterosexuality
So heterosexuality
It’s queerphobia
@@pinkclouds9563 is cisheteronormativity more specific or just redundant?
@@cyberdaria maybe, but girl defined were being transphobic and queerphobic (cuz u don’t need to be trans to do drag) heteronormativity is when someone expects you to be straight but those two girls were being hateful not just expecting everyone to be straight and I don’t like when people hate on heterosexuality because there are trans, ace,aro people who are hetro and I wanted to make it clear. I hope you’re having a nice day
Fun fact: so Christianity is based on Judaism. Which means the Bible was originally written Hebrew. Hebrew is a gendered language (meaning it has feminine and masculine words) while English is not, so when translating the from English to Hebrew a lot of the Torah’s stories/ teaching were misinterpreted or lost. One thing that got lost in translation is that god changed genders MULTIPLE TIMES and had a few drag moments in between ! All I want to know is whose gonna tell them that “gods image” actually includes trans people and drag…
God is referred to as having male and female attributes in the bible. Also in heaven there is no male or female. They are choosing the wrong hill to die on. Years of brainwashing will make it hard for them to get well.
Very genuine question as a Jewish Studies person: Definitely with you on the translation issues and God being referred to by different genders at different times, and there are also some places where God is implied or even straight-up described as having a physical body, primarily in Genesis (unless you count God being embodied by fire and such later on) and probably as a vestige of the polytheism still present in ancient Israelite religion, but where is the God in drag coming from?
I did hear a talk by Jericho Vincent about the discussion of some gender queerness with Joseph and his sister Dinah related to them being switched in the womb and the gendered connotations of some of the words describing them and their actions, which I think is really cool.
And there's the whole "Six genders" thing. And on top of the gendered language translation issues, there's all the things that can't be truly understood because translation is never perfect, and we have very little cultural context. And connotation doesn't translate easily between even modern languages.
(Also, sorry if I seriously overexplained everything in that first paragraph; you probably knew all that, but I figure a lot of people who would come across this don't, and also I am bad at editing myself when discussing a special interest.
To point out some clarity, the whole Bible wasn't written in Hebrew. The Old Testament was mostly Hebrew (with a little bit of Aramaic sprinkled in I think in Ezra) but the New Testament was written in Greek.
My thing is, how is drag any different than hiring a clown for a birthday party. I would argue clowns have done more harm to children than drag queens ever have but you can still hire them for events!
I don't have nightmares about queens
How about Winne the Pooh running around with no pants?
I was terrified of clowns as a child--to the point that when the Town Clown (I'm dating myself here--grew up in the 60s) showed up on Captain Kangaroo, my mom had to change the channel. Drag queens wouldn't have scared me one bit at that age.
@@babsb9889 Okay but for whatever reason any character on TV in the 60s looked like nightmare fuel. It's like whimsy hadn't been invented yet and costume/makeup ppl were still coping with fear of nuclear winter.
I agree, I had a clown spotting outside my middle school during the 2016 clown epidemic, and it had a "weapon" and made violent comments towards us kids!! The worst thing I had a drag queen say to me was that I should dump my ex 😂
"It won't lick itself" was a sign up behind an ice cream counter, someone said on twitter. Playful double entendre? Probably. But in the actual context? Not at all inappropriate. It's no worse than the Animaniacs having jokes like "Finger Prince?" for adults to get something out of it the kids don't. Difference is there are grownass adults who now can't comprehend wordplay :P I've been to a couple of drag shows and nothing bad happened. I went to church and go abused and fucked up for life. I'd send my kids to a drag show before church any day, it's far less dangerous.

Honestly the more they post the more obvious it gets that these women are insane and have never made a choice in their life.
Maybe they are just spiteful that people have the nerve to what makes them happy and live authentically when they can't.
They were brainwashed into not being allowed the option of true self expression.

Yeah … I was raised Mormon and began raising my kid as one. One day he refused to go to church and I asked why. He proceeded to go down a list of why church was messed up and why he refused to go. My husband and I couldn’t argue with him. His logic was sound AF. (Plus, even when we were Mormon, we weren’t the kind of parents to force our kid to go to church.)
Our kid was 9 years old. His reasoning freed me to finally address the doubts gnawing at me my whole life. A lot of (messed up) things happened along the way but I credit my child for opening the door leading our family out of religion and into freedom.
@@sirdidymus24 Wow, it sounds like you have raised a very intelligent boy. I'm glad you were able to have some introspection into the reasons you believed what you did.
I'm not inherently against people being religious. It certainly has its place in people's lives. What I am against is people using their religion as justification for bigotry and hatred. As well as denying science in favor of fantasy. There are certainly religious people who don't do that, but the majority (in my experience) do unfortunately.
At the end of the day, no matter what you believe all religions are fantasy. None of it is real. If it makes people feel good to believe it that's great. The trouble arises when they take it to the extreme and use it to spread hate towards others.
Fortunately, my parents came around. My mom and dad are still religious, but they are no longer bigoted religious extremists. My father is still a republican, unfortunately. But my mom is a full on liberal democrat which I never thought would happen when I was a kid. I'm proud of her growth as a human being.
I always get so sad when I remember girl defined isn't a parody channel. Like, How to wear makeup in a God honouring way is genuinely the funniest title. Such a waste
I’m pro drag queens as role models for my children. Positive energy, wearing what makes you feel awesome, reading stories, inclusivity… Better than the Christians hanging ancient torture symbols all over town and judging everybody 🤷♀️
"Ancient torture symbols" 🤣 just too true. I talked toy husband about that because right before our road there are 3 crosses. And I commented how creepy it is lol. Could you imagine large scale guillotines just hanging out around the country 😵

i absolutely agree with this as a girl who grew up with influence from drag queens and queer people in general. my parents were bffs with our neighbors who were gay men, so we always went over to their house for parties and stuff. i have such good memories of playing fetch with the dog, talking to amazing people, and mixing unholy combinations of coca cola and fanta at the drink table. i remember meeting a drag queen there for the first time and being obsessed with her blue hair and dangly earrings. i still think she's so cool lol. me and my mom also regularly watched ru paul's drag race together when i was a kid. it's prob why i never really freaked out when i realized i myself was a queer girl 🤪 i swear puritanical christians don't know what fun is (also something i didn't grow up with since my church was super accepting of everybody from every walk of life).
p.s. me and my family have since moved out of state but we still come around for parties at our old neighbors' place 😊

6:22- as a parent myself, taking my kids to something like a drag queen read along is to keep the kids entertained and for me to see other adults! I’m sure my kids would love a drag story time. Heck, I’d love a drag queen story time!

I'd never thought of drag Queens being a fun addition to a kids party 🙂☝️ but im gonna bring it up next time I'm at the office.
Drag story-time sounds really cute 😌👏👏👏
If I had kids, I’d be all about drag queen reading events. Given how visual kids are, a drag queen’s makeup is going to draw their attention and make them listen MUCH better than my tired face!
I had a drag queen read a group of us butter milk bunny and it was amazing
We have Drag story time at public libraries in Portland 👍🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈💖
My brother and I grew up doing each other's make up. (I used to make him do lolita w me he looked like the cutest doll 🥺). I also took him into my home at 13 and helped him get away from our homophobic abusive father cause he is openly gay (I'm bi but never told my dads family).
Our dad made us so blindly hateful that it took so much deprograming to shake off the indoctrination. These are the same type of ppl that applaud a person doing gay conversion therapy (like what they wanted my brother to do) while crying about DRAG QUEENS minding their own business. As an ELEMENTARY in their state was shot up. kids and teachers died. Bigger priorities, tasteless hags.
We went to church growing up w a man who went to conversion therapy and was a "reformed gay" they'd prop him up to talk about how he is celibate and how conversion therapy works. Before I knew that I thght He was the nicest man but he always had the saddest eyes and smile I never knew why as a kid. The day I was old enough to stay in w the adults and hear him speak my heart shattered. I cried. He was so nice he didn't deserve that. I refused to let my brother ever have that zombified look I saw on him.
No trans people are forcing anyone to be trans, no drag queens are forcing ppl to be in drag.
Those girl defined girls are DEEP in the Sunken Place. Sis literally said she was terrified of the concept of personal autonomy and free will. These girls would probably read the Handmaid's Tale and unironically cry and what an uplifting tale it is.
I love the audacity of Christians to think that "God" made everything on earth, but he didn't make Drag Queens???!?
Love that their advice is literally “just don’t have gender dysphoria” 🙄
If I could just not have gender dysphoria then that would make life so much easier.
I tried that for 39 years. Spoiler alert: It didn’t work.
Literally the same as, "You have asthma? Then just breathe!" or "You have ADHD? Then just focus!"
It's also the same as for anxiety. "Have you tried not being anxious?" Wow. Revolutionary concept, Barbara.
But has nothing to do with drag... drag is a fun mockery of women..we need drag kings
“Cut and dry hate speech.” You’re right, so I went ahead and reported their video and podcast for hate speech. I encourage others to do the same
I’m from Boston, Massachusetts and summered on the Cape. Spent lots of time in P-town (a beautiful LGBTQ+ beach community) so I basically grew up around drag queens. There are queens all over P-town selling tickets to their night shows. I can honestly tell you, they had zero negative effect on my life or development except maybe making me wish I had long legs because my mother always said “they have the best legs” 😂😂😂

I admit it, Drag Queens did it - they cheered me up when I had a difficult time with their exuberance, their artistry, their talents, and their amazing humor. It is ALL their fault I didn't sink deeper into depression. Honestly, I am the mother of a trans son, and I get terrified by rhetoric like this because it is so dangerous! My son is an amazing, intelligent, honest, caring person who I am proud to say is my child. I couldn't be more proud of him for being strong, and brave, enough to live his truth in a society that is so insanely biased against him and other LGBTQ+ people. I should not have to live in fear for my son's safety from people like them and the fearmongering they cultivate. While I laughed along with your video and your assessment of these bigots, it scared me even more that this rhetoric of theirs is allowed to exist on RUclips. You are right, their whole video was a bunch of alarmist, hate speech.

OMG seriously!
They’re just mad that the drag queens don’t do their make up in a “god fearing” way. I mean of course kids love drag queens. They’re essentially clowns! A person dressed up in big bright eye catching out fits with a pound of make up on that makes you laugh (and sometimes cry). My nephew loves the library drag hour
The only difference is that a bunch of predators dressed up in pounds of makeup and threatened to harm people in October 2016, and the others are drag queens. (Clown Invasion was the last season that time felt real tbh)

I grew up in an LGBTQ house, what's weird to me is hearing people talk about how gay/trans messes kids up (it doesn't). I can personally tell you the only thing that's a "mockery" is random people worrying about strangers sexual preferences... ETA lmao their hair
Really fricken tired of people conflating gender with sexuality. They're TWO distinct concepts. THEY'RE DIFFERENT.
My favorite thing about Nick's videos are his very astute politics. This made too much sense, it made me think, being an "ally" is more than just speaking positively about queer people, but maybe taking my son to a show, or a parade, so he can see positive representation, and have fun.
Oh, plus, his jokes are pretty great too
I struggled a lot with my self identity growing up. When I was in high school I started going to drag shows at a local (non-alcohol serving) club that allowed 16-17 year olds until 11pm, mainly because it was one of the only things we could do as restless teens with home lives we would rather avoid. I didn't even fully know what drag was at first, but I vibed so hard with the theater aspects that I got hooked real quick. Some of my best memories are sitting on a patio surrounded by drag queens smoking cigarettes and shooting the shit or sweating profusely in a little curtained off area trying to pin a wig to a moving target. The confidence was infectious, and I needed it. That was where I learned that the definition of who I am can only be written by me and to be unashamed of whoever that is. I would gladly trade all my church memories for that club to have survived the pandemic (It did not).
Aw that's a sad ending for a happy story :/
I'm so happy you got to have that experience!
"You don't want to bring your kids to a drag show because they might learn what it's like to enjoy a Saturday afternoon."

Any "Christians" proclaiming God hates anything are suffering through some intense cognitive dissonance. The great Creator made all of us and hates none of us and their own "good book" tells them that being judgmental like this is going to send them to their own version of hell, and it says this *very plainly* . Maybe they should try reading their entire book and reflecting on it and getting off the internet for awhile, like, forever.
I'm pretty sure that drag event with the "it's not gonna lick itself" sign was in a chain ice cream parlor, NOT a night club, so they were just lying about that
“Hitler with a headband” is wayyyyy too accurate to be a joke
“So God is Boring” needs its own merch.
I’d buy it
Please I'd adore this.
Yes
You are 💯 correct!!! The Dallas cowboy cheerleaders are more suggestive. It's just an excuse to project their self loathing onto LGBTQIA individuals. Also, they need to learn some color correcting techniques from those drag queens for those under eye circles bc mama!!!
I love how they seem to think people go through all the 'options' as if they're deciding what color to paint their living room. Standing in front of a mirror holding up different gender swatches debating between Ivory Gender and Eggshell Gender. They're just definitions, yo. You just find the one that describes the way you already feel.
I bet they get overwhelmed at the "how are you feeling" option on FB, there's just so many options how do you pick which emotion you want be?!
They're both definitely Eggshell gender; pale, easily shattered, tasteless yet horribly unpleasant
LOL, I know, right?! My thoughts exactly. People aren't confused by acknowledging multiple gender identities. They know who they are.
DRAG QUEENS ARE SO OVER SEXUALIZED meanwhile Yvie Oddly out here dressing like the whole cast of Sesame Street
i like how they said drag was ruining mental health but then have done podcasts with people who r “ex” gay when multiple people who’ve been apart of the ex gay movement or have done conversion therapy have unalived themselves
There is no hate like christian love. Great video, thanks, Nick!
Love that line!
I started going to drag shows many years ago in high school. My friends and I would get decked out in our Hot Topic alt gear and go to downtown Oklahoma City and spend all night at the Wreck Room. The queens were fabulous and I'll never forget those memories!!
They've never been to a family friendly drag show. The shows are so sweet and not sexual at all. What in the world lol
This is absolutely beautiful, top rate snark.
loll thank you so much!!
