20:57 my 100% favorite fact about gay penguins is not just that they take in eggs, it’s that the percentage of penguins that naturally pair up with same-sex partners (completely independent of/before any eggs are involved) is almost identical to the average number of eggs that are abandoned or have the parents die annually.
@@gotmilk9843 Uh, no. Eggs just get abandoned sometimes. One, or both, parents might have died, not found it again, weren't able to keep it etc. Gay penguin couples adopt those eggs (penguins are monogamous and both, male and female, breed the eggs and feed the peng...lets?). The number of eggs that end up being abandoned is pretty close to the number of gay penguin couples that adopt eggs.
@@gotmilk9843 The underlying conclusion one could draw from this is that gay couples actually help the species' survival by ensuring more chicks make it to adulthood. Which would then mean: Gayness is a beneficial evolutionary trait within a population. Take that, homophobes!
hint: that's because it doesn't actually say that. the first time it appeared in the bible was in the 1940's I believe, long after the original texts and many of their translations. the older german versions say nothing about homosexuality at all, including martin luthers translation.
@AliceBunny05 the 1611 King James reads "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." So it's not really a "new" translation. Is it correct, that's a different discussion.
Wrong, we the muslims use a book that is 1400 years old, far more recent./j The thing is, the ancestors usually have more respect, more authority, it's the authority of the past that makes that
Thats such a funny scenario to imagine Kid 1: I dont like gay people Kiid 2: Oh yeah? Whats your favorite animal? Kid 1:giraffes Kid 2: looks up "gay giraffes" and shows it to kid 1 Absolutely owned
Your kid is wrong and needs to correct their mistake. It’s not that giraffes can be gay, it’s that 90% of them are gay. Saying they can be gay is like saying the model T Ford can be black.
@@alexdavidson7498 Wikipedia calls them "especially gay". 😂 "Giraffes in Kenya; giraffes have been called "especially gay" for engaging in male-male sexual behavior more often than male-female (heterosexual) sex."
It makes a lot of sense. That's basically my life. When I was younger I tried so hard to pray the gay away because I was taught by the religious zealots in my life that it was just about the most immoral thing possible. Then, after much therapy, I accepted it, lost my faith (more like yote that bitch over the horizon) and have been gaying the pray away ever since.
As someone who literally wrote their master’s thesis on gay cowboys I can tell you it was one of those open secrets. The old west was mostly devoid of women so there was a lot of “mutual solace” as the history books label it. It was also common for there to be all male dances in the west where the “female” dancing partner would be designated by a white scarf tied around their arm. So it wasn’t necessarily accepting, but there was a a lot of “gay stuff” happening in the west. 🤠🏳️🌈
There were also cases like Charley Parkhust where women disguised themselves as men. They could have been seeking traditionally male roles or could have been transgender.
I think it was also easier for some trans people to live as their true gender because clothes were bulkier and just no one would have questioned a person as much, right? In addition, people frequently moved out west to change their identities for other reasons, so gender would have been just as easy to change. I mean, obviously the hormones and the surgeries weren't available, but social transitioning would have been easier for most people, I think.
8:53 going off this little rant about "boy clothes and girl clothes", I was at Disneyland Paris recently, and obviously, there were a lot of little girls dressed as their favourite princesses, but we also saw a little boy dressed as Princess Anna from Frozen, and it made me so happy to see. Kids literally do not care, just let them be kids and be happy
I read a book by Mercedes Lackey that had a character say "If the birds & beasts of the fields, who are innocent in a way Man can never be, accept love betwixt the same gender than why won't humans?" when I was younger and that really stuck with me
That would be Moondance of the Tayledras to Vanyel Ashkevron in Magic's Pawn. (Sorry, my most favorite books featuring gay characters of all time from a teen to today, some thirty years later). Shay'a'chern is such an awesome phrase for gay people, though Shaych is good too (shortened slang term for it). Mercedes Lackey was a HUGE proponent of gay characters in fantasy. (will stop fangirling now)
I just got "misgendered" at my local supermarket. I told the employee that she was right the first time (calling me "ma'am" instead of "sir"), and I also SUPER casually came out to another employee who had her pronouns on her name tag. I felt so warm and fuzzy due to those interactions.
About wrinkled Pride flags: I’ve read somewhere that in some communities people leave their flags unironed on purpose because it shows that the person has been taking their flag to protests and Pride parades rather than just using it to decorate their living space.
Here's a story related to my aromantic realization: In the game Stardew Valley, you can get married to 12 different people, but also, in a later update they added an option where you can get the shadow monster that lives in the sewers to move in with you platonically, to get the same bonuses. I always chose that second option before I even knew that I was aromantic, and looking back, yeah that makes sense lol
I'm playing stardew trying to 100% and I just want to be antisocial. But you have to max out everyone. I can't wait to get rid of my kids. Also, Jaiden Animations not that long ago played Stardew, you should check her out if you haven't. She's a chaotic aroace.
So good to find sweet aromantic experience in the comments, love it 💚🤍🩶🖤 As for me, before I even knew the term aromantic, I wrote on the "Author notes" section of the book I tried to publish on Amazon: "I'm the most anti romantic person ever" That was years before my questioning. Why I didn't notice before? 😅
Fun Fact: back in the 1900's the Edinburgh Zoo got 6 penguins and named them based on who was mating with who and people started freaking out when their favorite penguin pairings weren't being faithful and even worse they were having gay sex turns out they got 4 of the penguins sex's wrong and people freaked out more because most of the pairings people still believed in were gay
2:00 (Regarding gay cowboys, TLDR they did exist, and John Wayne types are just fiction.) Kaz Rowe has a wonderful video about this. The truth is, being a cowboy was not glamorous, but it was also out of the eye of white cishet society. Both meant that the Wild West was filled with countless queer people, people of color, etc. Multiple trans people are documented, and were beloved in their communities!! All that history was erased by Hollywood. 50s American nostalgia (and post-war politics) rewrote a historically diverse subculture into nothing but white, hypermasculine nationalists. The real people of the Wild West, for the most part, looked nothing like John Wayne. Hope this provided some helpful details. In short, the Wild West was one of the safer places for queer people in US history. ❤
Ah, to be a trans lesbian cowgirl in the wild west... I was born too late for that. But unfortunately i was also born too early ro be a trans lesbian space cowgirl.
The funny thing is that in a lot of places and times with huge toxic masculinity problems, a certain type of male homosexuality was absolutely treated as an open secret or only shameful for the bottom. It’s like homophobic toxic masculinity loops right back around into a sort of "Why would a buncha lads need girls around" and "oh, he's a man's man" homoeroticism. You don’t see quite the same thing with lesbians, because toxic feminity isn't really A Thing in that way, although the femme4femme stereotype of a "girls' girl" does exist and often flies under homophobes' radar as "admirable female friendship".
Can't find a pansexual joke without a cookware pun? Well that's just a SKILLET ISSUE (I invented this pun completely on my own and pans seem to fucking love it lmao)
Also, speaking as a bi woman who grew up in a very fundamentalist Christian community, it is hard to even recognize your sexuality when you are taught same-sex attraction is evil and that women don't even have sexual desire anyway. It took me years to recognize that I was bi.
Real. But even without the fundie-ness, bi-erasure makes it so we can exist for ages in an "I'm hetero because every woman is sapphic to varying degrees amirite??" bubble. When we pop that thing is when we're all "OoOoHhhh. There's a word for that!!" /much forehead slapping ❤
😂 I'm an older Millennial bi woman who also grew up in an extremely evangelical household, but I remember quote clearly that my bi awakening dates back to the release of The Little Mermaid when I was 7, and my fascination with Ariel's shell bra cleavage. I was clueless for a long time afterward, though, and very sincerely identified myself as an "ally" until my early 20's. "Wait, what do you mean all women don't find boobs just as hot as straight men do...?" 🤦🏼♀️🤣
Relatable! I didn't realize I was asexual until my 20s bc well "girls aren't supposed to have sexual desire" anyway so I guess being a "good girl" just came naturally to me. And then it took til I was 30 to figure out that I was gay bc not having attraction to men didn't mean that I didn't have any attraction at all. 😅
The American Old West was, generally speaking, accepting of most people, because life was hard enough without spending the energy to make other people's lives worse
I was gonna say, they had women doing men's jobs and voting back then because of how close people were since it was so hard to survive. So I doubt they cared about gay people as long as they could chip in a hand
people in the old west didn't really accept trans or gay people, people just didn't notice due to LGBT people hiding the fact they are LGBT, and because of individualism there was more privacy and autonomy for ones owns actions thus they could do what they want and hide as said before. also there was both a sense of communalism and individualism during the wild west, there was just a lot of individualism with examples of communalism being mutual aid societies. and you can even get political by saying that with more social security people have relied more off the government than off each other in a community.
just yesterday I stumbled over an old german proverb that says "where everybody thinks the same, nobody is thinking much". Whoever came up with this (not quite sure respectively some controversy) likely had no idea how sadly even more true this would become in our actual time with all these horrible bubbles and echo-chambers that the internet offers so freely. Just thought it fits all too well in here, so I felt like sharing it.
"I understand that you feel uncomfortable with being labeled cis. Is homogender better?", and watch them blow their lid in anger. It's funny as all hell
In reference to the dog owners who broke gender norms, I have a pink leash for one of my roosters, and I bought a pink tutu as a joke for a rooster I no longer have, and he LOVED it. Whenever I put Penn into his tutu, he'd get all sorts of excited then zoom around the yard like he was showing off the fact that he was wearing something while everyone else was naked. It started as a gag costume only to be used on Halloween, special events, or to help people see roosters as something other than "inherently mean"... but it turned into Penn's Manly-Man-Bro outfit, if one were to judge based on his behaviour while wearing it.
@@awkwardukulele6077 Haha, I can make that mental image even better. Penn was a dwarf. Specifically, he was a project Serama. Project = breeding with an end-goal, but that end-goal isn't quite achieved Serama = smallest breed of chicken in the world, almost wiped out by a hurricane, and many Americans have since taken up trying to save the breed by starting with the breeds that Seramas were made from, which is primarily the Chabo (AKA Japanese Bantam), which is a miniature chicken that was then bred to have dwarfism in order to make them, as I call them, "low rider chickens" due to their legs being about a quarter the length of a normal chicken. Penn looked slightly more Serama than Chabo, and his colouration was all black with a pale, sandy cape (feathers on the back of the neck from head to shoulders), and lemony feathers scattered over his back.
@@OlyChickenGuy Went looking for pictures of both types of chicken, and it makes this mental image absolutely brilliant and wonderful, because I'm now picturing this tiny black rooster with that upright-looking posture in all the pictures of the Serama variety, wearing a little pink tutu zooming around excitedly to make sure everyone sees his fancy outfit. Just this teeny tiny little feather-man, showing off his lovely ensemble.
@@Mokiefraggle You got it, almost spot-on! That's a perfect description of Penn and his almighty tutu. XD I'm also really glad that someone actually took the time to look up what these little guys look like! That makes me very, very happy to know. :3
@@OlyChickenGuy Roosters always amuse me, so I had to see what Penn might have looked like, especially since you mentioned he was a somewhat rare breed. This did not disappoint, as the image of this tiny little chicken breed that looks like a tiny soldier standing at attention is absolutely precious.
We should go back to the original definition of "super straight" as defined by comedian Robin Tran in 2017 - that being straight people who _are_ attracted to trans people.
Jamie: I'd rather have garlic bread than violets and roses. Me, an asexual: I'd rather have violets. They're my favorite. All I do this time of year is walk around and look at flowers, it's my favorite thing. Sunflower with teeth: (has teeth) Me: ...someone get me the garlic bread.
Even more entertaining is that those aren't even fire ants. They're Honeypot ants, and those big brightly coloured abdomens aren't edited either! Turns out if you put some food colouring in the honey before they eat it, that colour shows up through their skin as well.

James from Pokemon confused the heck out of me as a little kid. I couldn't understand why a *boy* was soooo dang pretty! And so comfortable with being pretty?? I think that early influence taught me gender isn't just pink and blue; there's shades of purple in between. 💜
@@alex_blue5802 Interestingly enough (not really that interesting, but whatever), since I came out as a trans man I'm a bit more interested in wearing dresses and makeup. I'm not very interested in it, but noticeably more than when it was a "woman in a dress" thingy. I still don't wear them, since I can't stand it with my boobs still on. After top surgery though, once the "brothers" are out of the way, I already know I want to wear a dress sometime. 😅 (As a "woman", my interest was maaaybe 5% at best. Now, now it's about 15%. Not much, but yeah, more.)
I never got the blue collar for boy dogs, red collar for girl dogs thing because I'd always thought the popularisation of the "colour coded" dog collars was 101 Dalmatians wherein Perdita has the blue collar and Pongo has the red collar, and this coding is passed down to their 99 puppies. When my dog had a red collar he would always get called a she, and people would be surprised that I picked a red collar for a male dog (I picked red because I was waiting for his orange collar to arrive, it had more to do with his namesake than his tackle)
I personally thought that the most hilarious thing in the world was when my mum got her two labradors (a boy and girl from the same litter) shimmery gradient pink-and-blue collars when they were still puppies, so that you couldn't just look at them and go "Oh, that's the boy, and that's the girl." You actually had to call them, which had the added effect of helping them learn to come when their name was called! It's a lot harder to mix them up now, since he's a big ol' tank, and she's a dainty little thing, but at the time it was kinda funny that you actually had to see who came when you called to tell who was who.
I have 2 female mini schnauzers. Daisy has a rugged black studded collar and all black accessories. Buttercup has all purple (studded) accessories… and they both have grey knitted jumpers.
If you want to really mess with someone who says a racist or homophobic joke, act like you dont get it. Make them explain it to you. I mean really act like you dont get it. They will either realize their joke is bad and wont tell it again, or they will at least be more careful about who they say it around, and wont tell any more around you. .
Act like you dont get it. Make them explain why its funny...in detail. Continue to be like ok, but I don't get how it's funny, explain why it's funny.

22:25 as a Sapphic woman, that was absolutely not my awakening. My awakening was the Hex Girls from Scooby-Doo! And the Witch's Ghost. Both for my goth awakening AND my sapphic awakening.
damn mines basic i heard people say a "man should come home to a wife and kids" and i remember thinking why not "a women should come home to a wife and cats"....
Another option when someone makes a phobic joke is to ask them to explain it. Just act like you really don't get what they're on about and ask them to explain what the joke is.
I stick by the trans gay man idea for Jesus. I mean, he wandered the lands with his 12 buddies, washing their feet, offering them his body at nice parties. That does sound kinda gay to me. Now, some might argue that there was Maria Magdalena, but she could have been a friend, a cover wife, or just a symbol for his slight bi tendency (still 12:1 though). And yeah, you COULD argue that the whole "I'm a virgin, it was actually god that made me pregnant" thing was an excuse for naïve Joseph, but that just would make Jesus cis and not less gay.
I work in the garden center of Walmart and shouted to one of my cis, white, straight male coworkers “I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m ready to cashier!” He was laughing his ass off
1:12 I've been saying for a while, if you believe the biblical account either Jesus was a trans man, Mary was xy intersex and fertile, or God did something very not nice to a 14 year old girl (and yes that was Mary's most likely age when Joseph married her even though he was likely a full grown man.)
Which is ironic, considering pandas are one of the most asexual bears to-date. That’s one of the biggest reasons they’re endangered, they literally do the “why have sex when you can have garlic bread” meme but instead of bread it’s bamboo. Nature is wild
Funnily enough my gay awakening was at my extremely homophobic grandmother’s house She was watching Fox News and I thought one of the ladies that was speaking was really hot.
My nonbinary/bisexual cartoon character awakening was Mulan. She was incredible whichever clothing she was in, and she and Shang were equally attractive
8:45 - That made me remember the time we dressed our dog in a pink tutu for Halloween, and she friggin HATED it! Dog's don't know what "gender norms" are, all they know is "hmm, my hooman is putting something on me."
I’m sorry this is one of my favorite historical topics! The American west during the American Policy of Westward Expansion was INCREDIBLY gay, and trans. In addition to being very ethnically diverse. The idea of the white, traditionally handsome, straight, cis, outlaw is a construction of Hollywood in a fit of post period fascism
Oh hush, you know Jamie WAS the gold at the end of the rainbow. ❤🌈 I'm just old enough that Jamie feels like a baby.

My awakening was "The Mummy" with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, I wore out the VHS I had of it, because I watched it so many times. I still love both of them.
6:15 As a bisexual man, this is extremely relatable. I came out to my mom around 6 weeks after my 18th birthday, and I showed her the man I'm in love with, and just a few weeks ago, she said that I'll eventually have to get a gf. I told her, "What makes you think I want that?" She replied with "or a bf if that's what you want." I had to hold in my laughter after that.

My awakening - Princess Jasmine. Specifically, when she's in the red slave outfit and is pretending the Jafar love spell worked on her. She stands up and puts a crown on her head, and a little piece of see-through fabric falls down the curves of her body 🥵 8 or 9 year old Vicki had no idea why she liked that so much but early twenties Vicki eventually figured it out 😅
5:10 Thank you for reminding me of this, a lot of times I go online and see so many negative comments, and especially on non-binary-focused things it can sometimes be ONLY negative comments on posts, and I wonder if I’m really just really some sort of freakish anomaly… Society definitely has a long way to go in terms of understanding and accepting queer people, and GNC people, but… I’m working on just living the way that feels best, and letting that show the people in my immediate circle that queer people come in all shapes and sizes.
2:36 If you want to learn more about transgender outlaws from the Wild West in the late 1800s/early 1900s, google Harry Allen. He had quite an interesting life story. I mean, he wasn't really an outlaw, just was arrested a few times, and he was from Indiana, but I think that's close enough.
Jamie, are you going to do a video covering the unscientific Cass Report and cover the possible ramifications it'll have for trans people in England/the UK?
15:10 Bible verse cited to "support" the idea that Satan made gays and transsexuals. Genesis Book 5, Verse 2 states: "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." Not only is there no reference ANYWHERE to Satan or gay people or transsexual people, but it's written really oddly here. Because it's talking about the creation of Adam. Nothing about Eve. But "male and female, created he them?" SEEMS to be saying that God created male and female, but also could be read that there are male and female deities who worked together to make Adam. Additionally, Adam seems to be nonbinary because "called THEIR name Adam... when THEY were created." So like... good Bibling, random church!

Concerning learning about 'cowboys' from the movies. A lot of cowboys weren't white - virtually never seen in movies. Across the USA, estimates are that 25% of the cowboys were Afro-American and another 15% Hispanic/Native. Particularly during cattle drives, cowboys lived in a mainly male environment. On an official level, cowboy culture was homophobic (like the rest of society) but it was much less uniform than settled culture. Like other homosocial subcultures (prison, hobo, or navy) gay relationships happened - not always consensually. And to add, When I lived in Germany I traveled on the Cisalpine train. Guess they'll have to rename it the Normalalpine train. (The Cisalpine train goes around rather than through the alps.) And, your last question. Gay awakening with Fred Jones in Scooby Doo - original version. (Fun facts from the original series: Shaggy was a varsity athlete in acrobatics while Fred was in the Drama Club. It was later on that the characters got flattened into narrow stereotypes.)
21:05 I think the frog with a crown is a slight reference from the show Young Royals. Wilhelm had many frog Prince related items that his brother, who died pretty early into the first season, gave to him, and Wilhelm was bi or pan, didn’t clearly say what he was but the fandom has gone with him being bi
19:15 I once encountered a biphobic trans woman and it really made me sad. My friend and I went to an LGBTQ+ bar and really clicked with this girl. We were all taking a break from dancing and having a chat when the subject of sexuality and gender identity came up. This woman, let’s call her “V,” said she was MTF and a lesbian. Love it. Then my friend answered, saying she was a lesbian, too, but cisgender. V then turned to me, so I told her I was bisexual and cisgender. Spuds, this woman actually scoffed. She crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat, and in the most condescending tone possible said: “ Have you even been with a woman?” My brain short-circuited for a minute, because I could not come up with a response to such a biphobic question coming from somebody whom I thought could relate to how it feels to have your identity questioned. My friend was quick to “assure” V that I had in fact been with both men and women, and that I was actually engaged to a woman (now my wife.) I couldn’t meet V’s eyes for the rest of the night, although I tried my best not to let it show how much her response bothered me.
A LOT of Disney animated movies included my various awakenings.. Aladdin was actually my bisexual, polyamorous, AND trans awakening. (But it took your videos around 2020 for me to put it ALL together)
i think if someone said "trans women and normal women", i could think that it excludes cis neurodivergent women, cis queer women etc. Just specifically trans women and women who find themselves to be quite average in most aspects. I can't think of a context where it makes sense to say that, but it's theoretically possible, so i would have to consider it.
My transphobic family refers to cis men and cis women as "natural men" and "natural women". I've tried to inform them that the accurate terminology is "cis" but I don't dare push too hard or I will start a fight.
If someone said "trans women and normal women", that shows that they're *thinking* the right concept but using the wrong language. So the thing to do is to use the right word for the right concept: "women". Just as normal people do. ;-)
20:35 I had a gay awakening. I absolutely had a crush on Anakin/Hayden Christensen while I was growing up. Now I’m gay and still love Star Wars, and so does my husband.
10:00 that's so relatable. Whenever my father knows I can hear him, he stops being transphobic and actually starts to use trans people's actual names, but when he thinks I'm not listening, he immediately stops. I honestly don't understand how he doesn't notice that I can still hear him. Most of those times I literally sit next to him.

The trans/homophobic nature of social media has to be put into perspective. As Jamie has said, it can be a very loud minority on there, and it's a place where it's easy to make it seem like there's a lot more of them than there are.

You're doing great work, clearly!
Your kid is wrong and needs to correct their mistake. It’s not that giraffes can be gay, it’s that 90% of them are gay. Saying they can be gay is like saying the model T Ford can be black.

Also I need a "Gaying the Pray Away" t-shirt.
It makes a lot of sense. That's basically my life. When I was younger I tried so hard to pray the gay away because I was taught by the religious zealots in my life that it was just about the most immoral thing possible. Then, after much therapy, I accepted it, lost my faith (more like yote that bitch over the horizon) and have been gaying the pray away ever since.
As someone who literally wrote their master’s thesis on gay cowboys I can tell you it was one of those open secrets. The old west was mostly devoid of women so there was a lot of “mutual solace” as the history books label it. It was also common for there to be all male dances in the west where the “female” dancing partner would be designated by a white scarf tied around their arm. So it wasn’t necessarily accepting, but there was a a lot of “gay stuff” happening in the west. 🤠🏳️🌈
I’d literally read that so hard
the west for the longest time was where you could go to escape society's standards, so it makes sense.
There were also cases like Charley Parkhust where women disguised themselves as men. They could have been seeking traditionally male roles or could have been transgender.
I think it was also easier for some trans people to live as their true gender because clothes were bulkier and just no one would have questioned a person as much, right?
In addition, people frequently moved out west to change their identities for other reasons, so gender would have been just as easy to change. I mean, obviously the hormones and the surgeries weren't available, but social transitioning would have been easier for most people, I think.
I need to read this thesis
8:53 going off this little rant about "boy clothes and girl clothes", I was at Disneyland Paris recently, and obviously, there were a lot of little girls dressed as their favourite princesses, but we also saw a little boy dressed as Princess Anna from Frozen, and it made me so happy to see. Kids literally do not care, just let them be kids and be happy

I read a book by Mercedes Lackey that had a character say "If the birds & beasts of the fields, who are innocent in a way Man can never be, accept love betwixt the same gender than why won't humans?" when I was younger and that really stuck with me
That would be Moondance of the Tayledras to Vanyel Ashkevron in Magic's Pawn.
(Sorry, my most favorite books featuring gay characters of all time from a teen to today, some thirty years later).
Shay'a'chern is such an awesome phrase for gay people, though Shaych is good too (shortened slang term for it).

About wrinkled Pride flags: I’ve read somewhere that in some communities people leave their flags unironed on purpose because it shows that the person has been taking their flag to protests and Pride parades rather than just using it to decorate their living space.
Also heard it can be a sign of solidarity with those who are forced to hide their flags folded up somewhere safe most of the time. Both makes sense

Here's a story related to my aromantic realization:
In the game Stardew Valley, you can get married to 12 different people, but also, in a later update they added an option where you can get the shadow monster that lives in the sewers to move in with you platonically, to get the same bonuses. I always chose that second option before I even knew that I was aromantic, and looking back, yeah that makes sense lol
Gotta love those dark sewer monsters, they make for great QPR partners and roommates.
I can never be arsed romancing anyone, I don’t care about the stardrop. 100% is too much work.
Stardew Valley doesn't have any romance. It's transactional affection.
I'm playing stardew trying to 100% and I just want to be antisocial. But you have to max out everyone. I can't wait to get rid of my kids.
Also, Jaiden Animations not that long ago played Stardew, you should check her out if you haven't. She's a chaotic aroace.
So good to find sweet aromantic experience in the comments, love it 💚🤍🩶🖤
As for me, before I even knew the term aromantic, I wrote on the "Author notes" section of the book I tried to publish on Amazon: "I'm the most anti romantic person ever"
That was years before my questioning. Why I didn't notice before? 😅
Fun Fact: back in the 1900's the Edinburgh Zoo got 6 penguins and named them based on who was mating with who and people started freaking out when their favorite penguin pairings weren't being faithful and even worse they were having gay sex turns out they got 4 of the penguins sex's wrong and people freaked out more because most of the pairings people still believed in were gay
2:00 (Regarding gay cowboys, TLDR they did exist, and John Wayne types are just fiction.)
Kaz Rowe has a wonderful video about this. The truth is, being a cowboy was not glamorous, but it was also out of the eye of white cishet society. Both meant that the Wild West was filled with countless queer people, people of color, etc. Multiple trans people are documented, and were beloved in their communities!!
All that history was erased by Hollywood. 50s American nostalgia (and post-war politics) rewrote a historically diverse subculture into nothing but white, hypermasculine nationalists. The real people of the Wild West, for the most part, looked nothing like John Wayne.
Hope this provided some helpful details. In short, the Wild West was one of the safer places for queer people in US history. ❤
came here just to comment that!
Very interesting. Thanks.
Ever since I found out about this, I’ve been desperate for a novel that uses this setting. Anyone got any recs?
I love Kaz's videos!
Ah, to be a trans lesbian cowgirl in the wild west... I was born too late for that. But unfortunately i was also born too early ro be a trans lesbian space cowgirl.
The funny thing is that in a lot of places and times with huge toxic masculinity problems, a certain type of male homosexuality was absolutely treated as an open secret or only shameful for the bottom. It’s like homophobic toxic masculinity loops right back around into a sort of "Why would a buncha lads need girls around" and "oh, he's a man's man" homoeroticism. You don’t see quite the same thing with lesbians, because toxic feminity isn't really A Thing in that way, although the femme4femme stereotype of a "girls' girl" does exist and often flies under homophobes' radar as "admirable female friendship".

Also, speaking as a bi woman who grew up in a very fundamentalist Christian community, it is hard to even recognize your sexuality when you are taught same-sex attraction is evil and that women don't even have sexual desire anyway. It took me years to recognize that I was bi.
Real. But even without the fundie-ness, bi-erasure makes it so we can exist for ages in an "I'm hetero because every woman is sapphic to varying degrees amirite??" bubble. When we pop that thing is when we're all "OoOoHhhh. There's a word for that!!" /much forehead slapping ❤

@@Wednesdaywoe1975 Well hello, my fellow late-bi-blooming, gen-x* sister!
*Potentially!
😂 I'm an older Millennial bi woman who also grew up in an extremely evangelical household, but I remember quote clearly that my bi awakening dates back to the release of The Little Mermaid when I was 7, and my fascination with Ariel's shell bra cleavage. I was clueless for a long time afterward, though, and very sincerely identified myself as an "ally" until my early 20's. "Wait, what do you mean all women don't find boobs just as hot as straight men do...?" 🤦🏼♀️🤣
Relatable! I didn't realize I was asexual until my 20s bc well "girls aren't supposed to have sexual desire" anyway so I guess being a "good girl" just came naturally to me. And then it took til I was 30 to figure out that I was gay bc not having attraction to men didn't mean that I didn't have any attraction at all. 😅

The American Old West was, generally speaking, accepting of most people, because life was hard enough without spending the energy to make other people's lives worse
So community was stronger than now, got it.
@minestar2247 basically, yeah. Late stage capitalism hadn't destroyed our sense of community yet
@@ItRemindMeOfHome no, I mean that capitalism destroyed the sense of community that existed in the past.
I was gonna say, they had women doing men's jobs and voting back then because of how close people were since it was so hard to survive.
So I doubt they cared about gay people as long as they could chip in a hand
people in the old west didn't really accept trans or gay people, people just didn't notice due to LGBT people hiding the fact they are LGBT, and because of individualism there was more privacy and autonomy for ones owns actions thus they could do what they want and hide as said before. also there was both a sense of communalism and individualism during the wild west, there was just a lot of individualism with examples of communalism being mutual aid societies. and you can even get political by saying that with more social security people have relied more off the government than off each other in a community.
just yesterday I stumbled over an old german proverb that says "where everybody thinks the same, nobody is thinking much".

In reference to the dog owners who broke gender norms, I have a pink leash for one of my roosters, and I bought a pink tutu as a joke for a rooster I no longer have, and he LOVED it. Whenever I put Penn into his tutu, he'd get all sorts of excited then zoom around the yard like he was showing off the fact that he was wearing something while everyone else was naked. It started as a gag costume only to be used on Halloween, special events, or to help people see roosters as something other than "inherently mean"... but it turned into Penn's Manly-Man-Bro outfit, if one were to judge based on his behaviour while wearing it.
Now I’m just picturing a Rambo-looking guy with a chicken head wearing a tutu and flexing on all his leaf-loincloth wearing brethren.
@@awkwardukulele6077 Haha, I can make that mental image even better. Penn was a dwarf. Specifically, he was a project Serama.
Project = breeding with an end-goal, but that end-goal isn't quite achieved
Serama = smallest breed of chicken in the world, almost wiped out by a hurricane, and many Americans have since taken up trying to save the breed by starting with the breeds that Seramas were made from, which is primarily the Chabo (AKA Japanese Bantam), which is a miniature chicken that was then bred to have dwarfism in order to make them, as I call them, "low rider chickens" due to their legs being about a quarter the length of a normal chicken.
Penn looked slightly more Serama than Chabo, and his colouration was all black with a pale, sandy cape (feathers on the back of the neck from head to shoulders), and lemony feathers scattered over his back.
@@OlyChickenGuy Went looking for pictures of both types of chicken, and it makes this mental image absolutely brilliant and wonderful, because I'm now picturing this tiny black rooster with that upright-looking posture in all the pictures of the Serama variety, wearing a little pink tutu zooming around excitedly to make sure everyone sees his fancy outfit. Just this teeny tiny little feather-man, showing off his lovely ensemble.
@@Mokiefraggle You got it, almost spot-on! That's a perfect description of Penn and his almighty tutu. XD
I'm also really glad that someone actually took the time to look up what these little guys look like! That makes me very, very happy to know. :3
@@OlyChickenGuy Roosters always amuse me, so I had to see what Penn might have looked like, especially since you mentioned he was a somewhat rare breed.

I never got the blue collar for boy dogs, red collar for girl dogs thing because I'd always thought the popularisation of the "colour coded" dog collars was 101 Dalmatians wherein Perdita has the blue collar and Pongo has the red collar, and this coding is passed down to their 99 puppies. When my dog had a red collar he would always get called a she, and people would be surprised that I picked a red collar for a male dog (I picked red because I was waiting for his orange collar to arrive, it had more to do with his namesake than his tackle)
I personally thought that the most hilarious thing in the world was when my mum got her two labradors (a boy and girl from the same litter) shimmery gradient pink-and-blue collars when they were still puppies, so that you couldn't just look at them and go "Oh, that's the boy, and that's the girl." You actually had to call them, which had the added effect of helping them learn to come when their name was called! It's a lot harder to mix them up now, since he's a big ol' tank, and she's a dainty little thing, but at the time it was kinda funny that you actually had to see who came when you called to tell who was who.

I mean, he wandered the lands with his 12 buddies, washing their feet, offering them his body at nice parties. That does sound kinda gay to me.
Now, some might argue that there was Maria Magdalena, but she could have been a friend, a cover wife, or just a symbol for his slight bi tendency (still 12:1 though).
And yeah, you COULD argue that the whole "I'm a virgin, it was actually god that made me pregnant" thing was an excuse for naïve Joseph, but that just would make Jesus cis and not less gay.

15:10 Bible verse cited to "support" the idea that Satan made gays and transsexuals.
Genesis Book 5, Verse 2 states: "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."
Not only is there no reference ANYWHERE to Satan or gay people or transsexual people, but it's written really oddly here. Because it's talking about the creation of Adam. Nothing about Eve. But "male and female, created he them?" SEEMS to be saying that God created male and female, but also could be read that there are male and female deities who worked together to make Adam.
Additionally, Adam seems to be nonbinary because "called THEIR name Adam... when THEY were created."
So like... good Bibling, random church!

Concerning learning about 'cowboys' from the movies.
A lot of cowboys weren't white - virtually never seen in movies. Across the USA, estimates are that 25% of the cowboys were Afro-American and another 15% Hispanic/Native.
Particularly during cattle drives, cowboys lived in a mainly male environment. On an official level, cowboy culture was homophobic (like the rest of society) but it was much less uniform than settled culture. Like other homosocial subcultures (prison, hobo, or navy) gay relationships happened - not always consensually.
And to add,
When I lived in Germany I traveled on the Cisalpine train. Guess they'll have to rename it the Normalalpine train. (The Cisalpine train goes around rather than through the alps.)
And, your last question.
Gay awakening with Fred Jones in Scooby Doo - original version. (Fun facts from the original series: Shaggy was a varsity athlete in acrobatics while Fred was in the Drama Club. It was later on that the characters got flattened into narrow stereotypes.)
It’s sad how those that hate lgbtq the most actually end up forcing it on so many
21:05 I think the frog with a crown is a slight reference from the show Young Royals. Wilhelm had many frog Prince related items that his brother, who died pretty early into the first season, gave to him, and Wilhelm was bi or pan, didn’t clearly say what he was but the fandom has gone with him being bi
weren't a lot of cowboys gay poc? (or am i thinking of something else?)
You're correct! Kaz Rowe has an excellent video about it, it's how I learned about it. The Wild West was quite diverse 😊❤
19:15 I once encountered a biphobic trans woman and it really made me sad. My friend and I went to an LGBTQ+ bar and really clicked with this girl. We were all taking a break from dancing and having a chat when the subject of sexuality and gender identity came up. This woman, let’s call her “V,” said she was MTF and a lesbian. Love it. Then my friend answered, saying she was a lesbian, too, but cisgender. V then turned to me, so I told her I was bisexual and cisgender.
Spuds, this woman actually scoffed. She crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat, and in the most condescending tone possible said: “ Have you even been with a woman?” My brain short-circuited for a minute, because I could not come up with a response to such a biphobic question coming from somebody whom I thought could relate to how it feels to have your identity questioned.
My friend was quick to “assure” V that I had in fact been with both men and women, and that I was actually engaged to a woman (now my wife.) I couldn’t meet V’s eyes for the rest of the night, although I tried my best not to let it show how much her response bothered me.
3:32 I had garlic bread for dinner 🧄 🥖
A LOT of Disney animated movies included my various awakenings.. Aladdin was actually my bisexual, polyamorous, AND trans awakening.
(But it took your videos around 2020 for me to put it ALL together)
"Rainbow Lace" sounds like a band name
10:46 ah yes. My friend hit me with a rainbow and made me lesbian.
The wrinkly flags are part of the gay aesthetic guys 😭
3:01 “I’m not, like, homophobic. I’m an Ally.”
I love heartstopper
HEARTSTOPPER MENTIONED
@mujahe4dYawn!
"That girl? I'm right here!"
"Thank you for your service."
As a pansexual, my favourite joke is "I put the 'pan' in 'panic'." lmao
11:42 or we could switch to the greek prefix and call cis people homogender
Technically Homophylic but I digress
Point is: they will be adressed with a root prefix whether they like it or not.
@@_StarlightRose_ oh this is gold, since phylic and philic sound the same (homophones)
They still gonna flip out bc the prefix homo obviously only refers to homo sexual people 🙄
As a lesbian, my fashion extends to all four categories 😂
i think if someone said "trans women and normal women", i could think that it excludes cis neurodivergent women, cis queer women etc. Just specifically trans women and women who find themselves to be quite average in most aspects. I can't think of a context where it makes sense to say that, but it's theoretically possible, so i would have to consider it.
My transphobic family refers to cis men and cis women as "natural men" and "natural women". I've tried to inform them that the accurate terminology is "cis" but I don't dare push too hard or I will start a fight.
If someone said "trans women and normal women", that shows that they're *thinking* the right concept but using the wrong language. So the thing to do is to use the right word for the right concept: "women". Just as normal people do. ;-)
Not exactly a cartoon but Venti from Genshin Impact was my gay awakening
Most cowboys where gay it's why they became cowboys (at least that is my understanding)
Broke back mountain
Cowboy was a derogatory term referring to cowpokes who were men of color. So no not most.
@@elaexplorer Thank you so much for correcting me I really appreciate it
@elaexplorer wait, really? Interesting
@@elaexplorer And men of color can't be gay?
A more original pan joke is when I came out to my dad and he turned around as said (with a shocked face) "You're peter pan!?"
20:35 I had a gay awakening. I absolutely had a crush on Anakin/Hayden Christensen while I was growing up. Now I’m gay and still love Star Wars, and so does my husband.
Panakin was one of my early bi awakenings! He looked so good in the 3rd film!
I've been trying to hint to all of my friends that I'm LGBTQ by acting as queer as possible in the hopes that they will just ask me if I'm gay
Thank you for the palate cleanser! 👏🏽
10:00 that's so relatable. Whenever my father knows I can hear him, he stops being transphobic and actually starts to use trans people's actual names, but when he thinks I'm not listening, he immediately stops. I honestly don't understand how he doesn't notice that I can still hear him. Most of those times I literally sit next to him.
Jesus was definitely gay, he hung around with 12 guys all the time.
And 1 did kis him
Can confirm this happened, it was me, I was the 1

these memes are cute and should be more of them. I am blown away by CISMAS once you take HRT out....I never noticed that
14:38 - that’s Leafy Street’s channel! I love it. The geckos he has go through parthenogenesis, so they create clones of themselves! Absolutely recommend his channel it’s great
20:44 As someone who is pan, and is obsessed with hamsters, I see this as an absolute win. Though I have no idea what the cherries are for 🤔
Garlic 🧄 bread 🥖
Relatable
@mujahe4d
Consider getting a brain
I'd rather have a grilled brie beget than garlic bread. It is still a step up from sex 90% of the time
ACEEEEEEEE❤
🥖🧄
🧄🥖🌿🧈🧀 (The cheese is 'cause I'm extra!) Little greysexual here loving that garlic bread!
17:43 Oh, it goes even further back than Ancient Greece. Look up the Epic of Gilgamesh.
OMG I love Gilgamesh! My seniors a couple of years ago were obsessed with Enkidu & Gilgamesh as gay icons 😂
Apparently there was a whole priesthood in ancient Sumer made up of what we today would call trans women. That's literally at the beginning of history^^
Oh and the nb character who helps Ishtar get out of the Underworld by distracting the goddess and queen thereof🤩 to quote OSP "So if you're nb, just remember you are magic and the Queen of the Dead finds you hot."
Somebody needs to write this.
I LITERALLY READ THAT IN SCHOOL A FEW WEEKS AGO
18:09 WHY WOULD WE IRON OUR FLAGS
TO MAKE THEM STRAIGHT /lh
13:37 the way i burst out laughing and then had to stop myself because I was about to choke on my yoghurt
19:18 I'm also trans, biromantic, and ace, so does that mean I have 8 times the hate, or does it add so I have 6 times?? It's like those damn +2 uno cards.
😈
I'm aromantic, asexual and trans/non binary. What does that add up to for me?
21:43 as a scientist i can tell you the last one is the full chemical name of sucrose (suger)
Forget ‘Netflix and chill’ give me toast and garlic butter and I will never leave you.😂
My mom is 2 on the lesbian fashion spectrum.
The trans/homophobic nature of social media has to be put into perspective. As Jamie has said, it can be a very loud minority on there, and it's a place where it's easy to make it seem like there's a lot more of them than there are.
@islammujaheed Are you now? I don't see any fire light. And why not show it in frame, you coward?
Do the different colors make different color flames? How does it smell? Is a standard polyester one? Or did you go out and find a cotton one? If it's polyester, you're most likely melting it rather than burning it. Do you know that you're supporting the LGBTQIA+ cause by purchasing a flag?
