It's crazy to me that we are at a point that drag shows are becoming illegal but beauty pageants with young children is still totally fine. They literally sexualize children at pageants but because it's straight culture it's fine for some reason.
Preach!!! So true
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
That is true. Kids doing pagents and being forced to do it by their parents is mega grim and should not be a thing at all xxx
@@lauratwinkle6420 The fact that TLC aired a whole show revolving around child beauty pageants is revolting.
👏👏👏👏PERIOD
As a woman I feel like consuming drag content has made me more secure in my femininity and how I express myself, thanks for the videos always!
same, I love drag. drag queens give the best makeup tips ever, they’re the only ones I trust lol
Exactly
Yes! I can't agree more, they are a celebration of femininity and i love it, watching drag has inspired my love and appreciation of meakeup. I used to be a real tomboy when i was a child/ teenager and looking back I was quite ashamed of being female, as I was brought up with the typical 'girls are lame' stereotype that is portrayed across all media. I thought I couldn't really be cool and interesting if I was 'just a girl'. Me and my sister always played as male characters, we had boy names for ourselves (Sam and Max), my internalised sexism and self hatred of being a (shock horror) woman was very real. Only now at the age of 38 can I actually call myself a woman comfortably, I remember a little girl pointing to me once and asking her mum if she could say hello to that lady and I looked round as I was like what lady? She's not talking about me surely, there'sno lady here! I want to add that I am not trans, I've never wanted to change genders I just struggled to find many things I could relate to in the typical media/ world view portrayal of a 'girl', I always felt well I'm not like that. I realise now a girl/ woman can be like anything they want to be, I just wish I could have seen that as a child. Sorry oversharing rant over!
Absolutely same! Made me so much more confident in myself and owning how I look and celebrating others’ !
THIS!
Let’s be honest…They’re not truly scared or concerned about their children being influenced by a drag queen. They’re just using their children as an excuse to express their personal hate and bigotry.
I was thinking the same thing. I mean it's obvious they're just making excuses.
@marty88ish Ding ding ding spot on 👏
Yeah if they rly cared about protecting their kids they wouldn't let them go to church, but they aren't ready for that conversation
Dumb
@@Clemonade23BXCLOCK THE TEA
As a British person I can't understand how drag queens are considered "illegal" in Tennessee yet have harmed not one single child. Yesterday 3 CHILDREN were shot dead with 3 adults. Yet guns are still LGEAL?! It makes me so angry that this is happening!!
The comment in response to your comment is spreading disinformation straight from Fox “News.” These laws are being used to attack anyone who even appears to be in drag in public, as Trixie explains in this video.
Adult performances in the presence of minors is illegal. How is it that hard to understand.
@@cb1297 the definition of adult cabaret performance in the text of the bill includes "male or female impersonators," and they threw in the phrase "or similar entertainers" to basically let them cover anyone performing gender in a unique way. they have banned those groups from performing anywhere where they could "be viewed by a person who is not an adult," so anywhere in public, and law enforcement will absolutely interpret existing in public as "performing." they have banned drag. and made it vague enough that trans people are going to be targeted as well.
@@e_i_e_i_bro Aren’t “adult performances in front of children” illegal anyway?
What a ridiculous take.
Why would there be children at an adult drag show in a gay club?
How would that happen?
You think the family would walk in mistaking it for a Chucky Cheese?
If you think that’s the reasoning behind this, why have drag queens specifically been targeted?
The only reasoning is that the people making these laws are hateful and homophobic; pure and simple.
@@cb1297 That’s it?
Oh. Well that’s alright then (that’s sarcasm by the way)
No, that isn’t it.
Why has that been banned?
Which children are going to adult themed drag shows?
When has this ever happened?
Why does it need legislation to prevent it?
Answer; it doesn’t.
This has got nothing to do with protecting children.
It’s got everything to do with hateful, homophobic bigots making the laws.
It’s horrific
Here's a way to restrict things: if you're a parent with a kid, and you don't want to take your kid to a drag show, don't take them. Easy, time and money saving solution
Yeeeah problem is they're just oh so concerned with protecting other people's children.
Tbh in this situation the children are just the scapegoats for their parents' hateful discrimination. They're not 'protecting their children'.. they're using them as an *excuse* to be as bigoted and horrible as they truly want to be, and to enable the destruction/removal of all LGBTQIA+ people from their communities. Which is much more messed up than the claims they're making about drag
I just dont understand why there is literal laws being made to restrict consenting adults having consenting adult fun. Why dont they make laws forbiding adults from making money off their kids on social media? Because most of those channels are conservative and religious.
@@NoteToLoser Disturbing that they seem to have no qualms about using the real issues of child abuse as their mode of transport to spread their message. The people who benefit most from this are those who actually abuse children, which these people are inadvertently supporting by spreading misinformation and false news about drag queens.
They want the family unit but don't want to parent their own kids :)
seeing trixie using her platform to bring awareness to how drag bans will affect trans people brings so much joy to my heart. thank you for seeing us, and doing what you can to educate others 💙🤍💖
Three of my favorite people on this planet after my children are very non-binary. The one with whom I sometimes travel had to sit down with me to discuss which destinations to check off our “bucket list”, including Chattanooga (Ruby Falls, Rock City, and I have family there). It also eliminated traveling through those states to get to other places. It was a very sad and very sobering conversation.
Stay strong and know that you are loved and respected by people that don't even know you. ❤
👉 There is no drag ban.👈 Read the bill. I have.
The bill says, children cannot be present at drag shows. And I agree. And I love drag! Why would anyone want kids at drag shows anyway...?
I'm not trying to be combative. I hope you see my point, much love.
🇺🇲 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
Affect
I had not even considered that it is drag by certain measures of laws that have to be applied and interpreted by the individual not the broad spectrum of it's context
Drag content is what helped me be proud of things that I, as a straight male, used to have huge insecurities about. It is not just for the LGBTQIA+ community, drag is FOR eveyone It empowers EVERYONE.
I hated my body and had many complexes behaviorally that related to those insecurities. Watching drag shows and drag creators showed me that I shouldn't care. Love yourself, my fellow straight boys, literally no one will complain if you do!
Wtf are you talking about. Drag is for 1% of people not "everyone". The narcissism is what pisses me off. How about fighting for something that actually matters which our self obsessed weak society refuses to do. Weak self centered narcissism is what this country has become about
Growing up as a girl, I always thought that my girly interests were lame. But when I watch drag, and I see people all coming together to celebrate things like fashion, makeup, hair, pop performances, diva vocals. Huge crowds of people showing appreciation for these girly things I was ashamed of, it really impacts me.
Omg I think you just made me discover one of the reasons why I love the drag 😳 besides the obvious that they're iconic and absolutely hilarious. I never thought about it that way, I appreciate your comment!
Omg same here!!
Parents are responsible for their children to protect them from explicit shows whether it's Drag, music etc. The artists are not responsible for other ppls children
I agree with you. However, if performers do see children at such events with adult content, they should probably refrain from performing directly to or involving the children in their performances. There are several adults in these situations and not one is using common sense.
That's why we are banning drag queens from children.
@@GirliePop_Z Hush they don't want to listen to logic.
@@GirliePop_Z who said that they would continuously perform adult content in front of children?
And are you maybe referring to drag queens on stage especially on a bar? Do you think they have the ability to screen each individual before they perform? It's on the establishment's liability if ever that happens for letting an underage individual enter the premise of an assumingly adult audience.
@@GirliePop_ZI disagree if they see a child at their show that isn’t for kids they shouldn’t have to change up their whole act. Especially when there are people who love and paid to see the performer….. the child can be removed before the show or the parents can be reminded like, hey b4 the show starts this isn’t a child’s show it’s adults onlyyy …
Transphobia affects US ALL. as a cis woman in my full glam Ive been asked what’s between my legs. Controlling gender expression is so misogynistic.
Discriminating against a group of people that’s already small and susceptible to violence is evil. Trans people deserve MORE protection. Black Trans Women deserve better 💔ALOT BETTER.
(I know that drag and being transgender is different, but like Trixie said I feel like it will affect normal trans people just living their life the most)
That is so true. I follow a Hijabi Woman and all the comments she get is "Are you Trans ? " "Why is your voice like that?" . Even though she detransitioned for Relegious reasons and don't want it to bring up.
YES THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT. a lot of people don't seem to think that transphobia affects more than just trans people. It hurts everyone, including cis people.
Your comment got me thinking. I would like to test this "drag ban" or where ever they are protesting it. How about some cis ladies get in full drag as ladies and go do a storytime or a show and see what happens. I am saying this as I don't think you can tell "who" is under all the drag when it is done well. Then we see if this ban is really about the "drag" or about who is doing the drag. They would have to admit that they do indeed just want to discriminate against LGBTQ+. They would have to admit they just are looking for a way to suppress something that is non gender conforming. Would they say, it's okay for you ladies to glam to the hilt and do a storytime or a show, but not someone who is not woman. Or would they ban the women form doing it as well? I doubt they would band the women. Or have they already come out and said that this would only apply to men and trans people? Canadian as well here so I don't know what the whole deal here is, other than just plain discrimination.
Yes!!!
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
"This artform that I've dedicated my life to is being used as a scapegoat for MONSTERS to get rich."
That summarizes everything! Trixie for president!
Banning drag shows because one might be inappropriate for children is like banning R rated movies because kids might see them. Like the rating is there for a reason.
They’re not banned, just regulated. Did you read the bill?
@@timemachine7026 did you watch the video??
@timemachine7026 actually never mind I'm not interested in bad faith arguments
@@otterzrkuhl Yes, I did.
@@timemachine7026 you obviously didn't. Bye.
So awful that homophobia is still rampant. I thought we progressed as a society, apparently not. Thanks for speaking out
Social progress generally happens in cycles. Movement forward, backlash, backlash to the backlash, and movement further forward.
I live in North Carolina... I can confirm homophobia is alive and THRIVING down here.
homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, human rights phobic, equality phobic. Sexism, toxic masculinity. Its a conglomerate of all the worst issues in the world all focused onto us.
@@CaseyWatchin I also live in North Carolina and I work at a public library. Trust me it sadly growing in a rapid rate.
Idk why you thought that lol
"Children don't have jobs, they can't give me any money"
Truer words were never spoken, queen ❤
True
Certain American states are making it so children do have jobs 😅
It giving you "don't running around & break anything while IM performing" vibe, no drag queen cant escape from face crack of the Century, children are dying from gun, and drag queen is a scape goat, republican is never stop Amaze me
children cannot consent for tattoo and cigarettes but they can consent for puberty blockers and genital mutilation?
They also don't need to be sexualized or tuaght about sex from strangers
As a member of the trans community all I can say is thank you thank you thank you, Trixie, I can't fully express how amazing it is to actually be considered and included in this conversation, we need more queens and people like you in the world ❤
You’re not just part of the conversation, you are the reason for the conversation. We see you, hear you, support you and will fight for you. Know that you are not alone. We will all amplify your voice and those of the Trans community. Keep strong!
@@DixieLongateChannel
I'm sorry for the hurt that you go through. You are loved for who you are.💖
@@DixieLongateChannel beautifully said 👏🏻
I know things are getting worse I just want you to know that your not alone
As a queer woman, one thing that I keep reminding myself is that just because I'm from a small town in the south, I still belong here just as much as everyone else. This is my hometown just as much as it is everyone else's. I might not be welcomed here, but it's still where I'm from and I shouldn't have to "just move if I don't like it" as I'm told so often. Instead, the people that live here should just be more loving and accepting of me and treat me like a local like everyone else. I own a small business here and I worked hard for it and deserve it just as much as my straight, cis colleagues
People from small towns will say stuff like "just move [slur]", then brag about being more friendly
Thank you for acknowledging we Christians who FULLY affirm the LGBTQ+ community. My husband started a church in the DEEP SOUTH. People hate us. But we will NEVER abandon our LGBTQ+ friends. Our church is thriving because we are the only safe place for these people. Love you so much, Trixie Mattel. ❤️
Love you for what you're doing Jacqueline, keep it up, we need more people like you and your husband to show that religion doesn't have to be hateful
Having people like you when I was younger would have changed my life
So many queer people have such deep and genuine trauma surrounding religion, ESPECIALLY Christianity. Thank you SO SO much for providing a space to allow people like us to explore faith in a safe and accepting environment. 💕
Please get louder. As far as Christianity in 🇺🇸 goes, your PR sucks. I am an atheist & a Humanist. It isn't MY job to fix this. Silence = Compliance. Your Christianity promotes hatred, bigotry, oppression AND THE ACTUAL ABUSE OF SO MANY CHILDREN!! SPEAK UP!! SPEAK OUT!! No one should be louder or more angry than Christians seeing their religion hijacked for terrorism. 😡
I am so done with the quiet "not all Christians are like that" group. IT IS YOUR JOB TO FIX THIS!!
As a queer woman who grew up Catholic and is still feeling the negative effects of how it hurt my self worth, Jacqueline you are an angel. Giving queer people the chance to feel accepted, safe and even heal their relationship with a space where they typically are not given that luxury is such an incredible and compassionate act. You and your husband are amazing! Sending you so much love ❤️
I wonder what Dolly has to say about this. Her entire iconic look is inspired by drag queens, and she’s a Tennessee treasure, both to the lgbt community and to country music loving conservatives.
Dolly tweeted out that if she’d been born a boy she would’ve been a drag queen. I know Dolly respects the community deeply. I don’t know if she’s made a specific comment about this bill, but she definitely supports the community.
@getyourecon well I hope Taylor still preforms cause I have tickets for Nashville
@@getyoureconI'd love for them to make a statement while performing in TN and get banned somehow, like how Gaga made a statement about LGBT rights in Russia. Then it's like "oops, I can't perform there".
Well my trans wife and I were gonna take out kids to Dollywood this summer and now we’re trying to sort that out and we’re just normal boring people.
One of the reasons Dolly has lasted so long in the business and is loved by everyone is because she keeps out of politics completely. She isn't going to say anything that will alienate over half her fan base - And nor should she! She's far too astute. And she isn't inspired by drag queens. She has recounted often enough that her love of makeup and wigs was inspired by the local town prostitute. It's only pre-Drag Race that she has joked about looking like a drag queen.
I’m extremely happy Trixie decided to talk on this. As a transgender guy it does make me really sad to see this happening, but watching this video has helped me a lot.
Just know you are loved and supported by so many of us. We might not know you, but you're still valid and wonderful
ever since I stumbled upon drag I’ve noticed myself become happier.. why? Because the energy all drag queens bring to the table is something you can’t find anywhere else!! Watching drag queens have made me happy just existing. 😊
watching sexist freaks made you happy???
Seriously what is so great about drag freaks?
@@Nyrelathotep They slay. 😌
As soon as I heard conservatives equating LGBT people with grooming, and they started getting their hands on drag, I knew that they'd harp on it nonstop. Remember that politicians will always latch on to a niche topic like this to 'save the kids', that they can and will come for something you love. Always stand up for what you love, and don't back down.
Also keep in mind is the massive projection that conservatives put on everyone to almost always cover up their own deep issues and personal vices.
Not all conservatives.
@@Jennifer12342 I think it’s pretty clear that they meant _those_ conservatives. you know, like how people talk about men hurting women or cops hurting poc. “this group has major issues so we are criticising them overall but not necessarily saying every individual is directly causing the problem”
yes!! i feel like this is so important to point out and notice for politics in general. pay attention to scapegoating people!!! niche topics being harped on so much like this only happens because they don’t want you to focus on all the atrocities they’re neglecting.
@@Jennifer12342 yes. ALL conservatives. Silence is support and complicity. The party has pivoted to anti-trans/drag bans now that abortion is no longer protected.
I love how Trixie is so firm in her defense of trans ppl. Allies like her make me happy and give me hope ❤
👉 I don't think kids should be at drag shows.
And I LOVE drag! 18+ everytime. Period.
🇺🇲 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
Me too 💙
Trixie also come from the Native American people Ojibwe. She understands more than most what it is to be marginalized.
Trixie really is so intelligent. Her wit and ability to whip up the perfect words to describe the despair, hope, and humor all at the same time is a part of her essence ✨✨
I’m sending this to my conservative grandma and I hope she watches because you explain this in a really compelling and digestible way. I hope this gets thru to the woman who went from taking me to my first drag show to watch Fox News 24/7.
It's sad how these misinformation channels are ruining our elders. It's not even limited to the US. These channels get so much engagement because they figured out that fearmongering keeps people's attention, and they know grandpa and grandma don't go out much anymore, so they can't tell how inaccurate their news are...
I hope the grandma who got you into drag can come back one day.
I live in east Texas and I worked with a beautiful trans woman as a server at Applebees. People would tell me they didn’t want her serving them food. It was such a culture shock for me. I will never forget the anger and hurt I felt for her. I can’t imagine the bullshit she has to deal with on the daily for being who she is.
I grew up in East TX (Longview), so I'm not surprised at the reaction to her. I chose to leave after HS and moved to Dallas, getting out of TX altogether in my early twenties.
@@davidadams2395 I’m in Tyler! I’m originally from Orange County so to see transphobia so blatant in front of me was shocking and new. I’m looking into ways on how to make a difference and I feel we are going towards change. Trying to spread awareness is hard and I’ve lost a few friends speaking on these issues. It’s hard not to get discouraged!
@✨Katy Stinks✨
Orange County, eh? I'd say you had quite the culture shock. I'm happy for your support for the community. We need it so much in the smaller cities, especially in red states.
These same people who belittle someone for just existing are so often the same people who cry "LiBz aRe bULLyiNg uS aNd wE Won'T tAKe iT!!" when someone calls them out about it.
Slightly different but I once worked with a lovely lady from India, we once had a customer come up to me and tell me he’d rather “not have someone of her kind” helping him. We told him if that’s how he felt no one else would be willing to help him anyway and he needed to leave. Not letting people be abused and mistreated at my place of work under any circumstances. It amazes me what people think they can get away with 🤦🏻♂️
Don’t forget to register to vote and vote in EVERY election at every level, down to the local dog catcher. It matters!
This is so true! Vote Vote Vote!
I am a straight white woman who was raised as a catholic from the middle of nowhere Kansas and I consider myself a moderate. I’m also a military spouse who is currently stationed in the UK. I honestly thought when I heard about this at first it was a joke. Now learning this is a real thing is horrifying to me. Drag brings my life so much joy that I can’t imagine why anyone would attack this art. How are we moving BACKWARDS?! I hope all of the drag queens know how appreciated and loved they are even by those you wouldn’t expect it from. This world would be so dark and boring without the amazing and talented souls that are the drag queens of the world💖
We Kansas girls have to help spread the word of love, peace and fun! Love the honesty here too and support them!
Thank you so much for saying this and standing with the community. It means a lot. 💙
What she said. 💕
Just remember to make those kind of statements to your straight, Catholic, conservative friends. That would make you an ally, instead of a commentor on a video.
@@PH-wz5in I’ve had multiple in depth conversations with my mom about this because she is a traditional catholic that doesn’t understand or agree with any of this. Truthfully I don’t have any “conservative friends”. I’m a military spouse so we are constantly moving around and having to make new friends and meet new people. The people I choose to surround myself with are accepting of everyone. But comments like this are why many people like me choose not to say anything even if it’s supportive or positive. Instead of assuming something about someone’s life you can be appreciative of the positivity and leave it at that.
I'm concerned for the cosplay communities as well. So many people, myself included, have done crossplay and gender-bent characters that this bill has now made illegal. We also get crazy religious people that stand outside the conventions with all those hateful signs, yelling and condemning us. I wouldn't be surprised if they called the police and tried to get the people who stand up to them arrested for "drag".
We stan an ally
Please welcome to the stage, the incomparable talents offff

something i find comforting is, as i study history, i know that there have been other points in american history where movements that were having success are setback by out-of-nowhere extreme conservatism. It’s nice to know that even though those movements were set back, they didn’t stop progress all together. yes we need to work to make sure lgbt+ rights maintain and move forward, but please anxious lgbt+ people remember we have been here before and have moved forward. stay strong!!!! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Yeah, this is what I'm thinking too, no matter how hard they try, they can't keep the world from becoming a better place for more people!
@@clartblart3266 exactly! if the last 1000 years haven’t taught us anything it’s that kick and scream all you want - people are still queer. there is no law or “treatment” or abuse that can stop us from being who we are! truly born this way
damn this made me emotional
Yeah I don’t want to dismiss the concerns of people who are affected by this, but conservatives have already lost the culture war. What we’re seeing now is likely the loud, obnoxious death rattles of a bygone era.
Yeah like I teach children that have the potential to drive soon and they can’t remember a time where gay marriage was not fully legal like so much progress has been made, we have so much access to our resources now too like we must keep supporting each other and doing what we can
As a trans woman, thank you for standing up for us. I truly appreciate it more than I can put into words. The world is a very scary place
Drag has given me a comfort I cannot explain but I will try. I am a nonbinary, bisexual person. I have never felt at home in my skin because of the many things society thinks i should be. Drag has taught me that I can e however I want to be, and not only be excepted, but celebrated. It makes me feel acceptable, and that's incredibly new for me.
Thank you to Trixie, Katya, Ginger Minj, Alaska, Detox, Jinx, Juno and the countless others for their efforts in the years past and in the decades moving forward.
As a straight white women I had never seen any kind of Drag Queens until I discovered you on TH-cam and I absolutely adore you. Anytime I see anything on TH-cam with you in it I watch it. One of my girlfriends are taking me to my first Drag show and I am so excited. You my full support!!! ❤
Thx for the comment! Shows how important exposure and role models are for acceptance. Enriches the pov imo. I mean Randy Rainbow or that comedian in a dress in Tennessee are way more entertaining and uplifting than the other side, but the "grey mass" that just didn't care thins out and positions itself, therefor pro and contra get louder... Enjoy the show;o)
(Also recommend Torch Song Trilogy, Girls will be girls, Nigel Finch's Stonewall '95 and Priscilla - Queen of the Dessert for next movie night with the gal pals.^^)
Enjoy queen!
You're going to have SO MUCH FUN!! My mom took me to Mt first drag show at 21 and I've been an avid fan ever since! It's truly a magical time!!! 🎉❤
Stories like yours make me so happy. It's proof that people can approach new things with an open mind instead of being afraid of what's different. We just need to listen to each other and learn!
Omg you'll have such a great time!! Enjoy it !
Going between ‘Trans rights!’ and ‘You guys this eyeshadow’ is giving me a much needed laugh to cool my fury 😂
Literally! Banning all drag would be like banning all movies. We KNOW some movies aren't appropriate for kids, so we don't show those movies to kids. Same with performers! Some drag performers are family friendly and some perform for adults! It's all valid, it all deserves to exist.
If you read the bill you will see that nowhere does it say that drag or drag performance is banned.
Thank you for explaining how this might affect the trans community, darling, and thank you for caring about us.
you have the support of this cis bisexual ❤❤
Did you read the bill? It has nothing to do with the Trans community. Don’t let people speculating on what “might happen” distract you from living your life and being happy. Nowhere in the bill does it say that drag is banned, just that drag shows are considered as adult “cabaret” entertainment and will be regulated as such.
@@timemachine7026 Yes, I read it. What's being criminalized is performing while wearing clothes that don't match your biological sex. And the language is incredibly vague about what constitutes a performance. If I were to hold a speech in a context where a child could stumble upon it, say at a rally, that might be considered a criminal act. The bill might not be aimed primarily at transgender people, but it affects us nevertheless.
Both religious and middle of the road leaning conservative- thank you for educating me on this topic and all that’s going on. I had no idea. It breaks my heart to see art villainized.
Tell your conservative friends and educate them if you can. Ignorance spreads fear and hatred.
thank you for doing your best to learn! Please pass on the message
Thank you for being open minded.
Keep that mind and heart of yours open. There is much for you to learn, but I am grateful that you are doing so.
Thank you for learning! Pass it on please, don't let us be silenced! We appreciate your willingness to learn- now go spread it for others! 😊
Queens have helped me feel so confident as a woman. Most women I know including myself are full of shame about our femininity and how “soft” we are viewed by the world. Drag has shown me women can absolutely be soft, sexy AND strong at the same time
6:50 I actually have accidentally walked into a drag show with a group of friends! It was great, and really showed us who the hidden bigots were in the group.
To clarify, it was 11pm at a bar, lol
It's so sad. This literally just happened in Perth western Australia. one of our local drag queens who does story hour at a library had a smear campaign put around the place about them. These things spread so fast. We gotta stand up to it.
The same thing happened here in my neck of the woods. I live in Silver Spring, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. A bookstore in downtown Silver Spring held Drag Queen Story Hour, and the Proud Boys showed up. They tried to break into the store to assault the drag queen reading to the kids, but the counter-protestors standing guard prevented the PBs from doing so. And Silver Spring is typically a very diverse and progressive area, too.
@@juratory8876 the fact that groups are willing to assault others tells you where their priorities lie, and it’s not in protecting vulnerable people.
that’s so weird that i haven’t heard anything about it :( do you know the drag queens stage name ?
You know s#*t is getting real when Trixie's comment section is full of earnest heart warming comments.
As a cis het woman who loves drag (especially you and Katya!), I heard about this ban and thought, “Oh wow, how horrible for drag queens!” But you opened my eyes to how this nonsensical legislation will affect not only drag queens, but also trans people and gender non conforming people, as well as even the people who run businesses that usually serve them. All while serving LOOKS and makeup tips. Thank you!
Everything is on a spectrum. For example: you could be a waitress at a local pizza place, a waitress at hooters, or a waitress at a strip club. We don’t ban waitresses, we just don’t take our small children to the strip club for dinner.
Dear Trixie,
Just being ALL of yourself I see you doing for your generation what Ru and queens like her did for my generation. You don't have to lead, just keep doing what you do so well.
I'm 70 now and was a Drag Bartender who sang in my hometown of San Francisco. The great Charles Pierce once told me "Honey, what you show people when you do drag and make them love you, is nothing compared to what you learn about yourself."
He also said, the first time I did my own makeup, "Great! Next time try doing it with your eyes open..."
A fan since day one,
Scott, aka Stella Zafella
Thank you for everything Scott, aka Stella Zafella, you’ve done so much and admire you. Thank you for being apart of the drag community and giving us your insight! Although I’m a cis-woman I absolutely love doing drag and look up to queens including you. Appreciate what you’re doing and a beautiful quote from Charles Pierce ❤
Beautiful comment, Scott. And GREAT drag name! 👏😂 Thanks for every foot of trail you helped blaze. ❤️ Living your truth & being authentically yourself is the biggest personal & political statement of support for those looking for the courage to hold their heads up in this world. 🌎
Dear weirdo, you will never be accepted.
Seeing folks like you, where I am 25, is awe-inspiring. When I look at what's happening to our community today, I remember what folks like you fought tooth and nail for, in arenas like the AIDS epidemic. I know we can fight and win because you all did before us. You are our North Star, Scott, and I am eternally grateful.
Just remember, the population of LGBTQ people is less than 1% of the American population, you want a war? Cone get it
Conservatives are missing that point that drag is so many different things. Like yes, there is drag that shouldn’t be around children due to song lyrics or outfits- but those drag shows happen in bars that are 18-21+ and require ID to enter. No children allowed. The drag brunches or story time hour are singing Taylor swift in a gown or reading about Olaf while dressed up as Elsa.
Correction: they aren’t missing the point. They know the point but are ignoring it cause it goes against their agenda to attack queer people.
And it’s fully just an attack on queer people and a starter to impact trans people. There has been drag on tv for years- Mrs Doubtfire or Medina, but those are done by cis straight men so it’s seen as fine. But because it’s queer people it’s automatically sexualized. What about Hooters or Toddlers and Tiaras where’s that uproar?
They're not missing the point so much as furiously refusing to make eye contact with it while plugging their ears and singing la la la...many of them know, but they would rather pretend ignorance
They don’t care about any of that. They will expose their children to anything they see fit regardless of how appropriate it actually is for kids. They just don’t like people that are different than them. They don’t want anybody to have freedom.
they're not missing the point. they just want a reason to ban what they don't like.
Outfits?? Those kids are put into racy outfits too… lmao
I’m a straight white Gramma that loves Drag! I’m also Canadian so there’s that - we are for the most part a very cool and accepting kinda place - love you drag queens!
I'm from the UK and I'm a bisexual woman, I'm also an ally. I feel so sorry for the drag queens and the trans folk who are going through this. I will support you from across the pond and I'm honestly disgraced with the law that's been passed.
It’s okay to call yourself an ally if that’s how you feel comfortable identifying, but Bisexual people are absolutely members of the LGBTQ+ community! Ally usually refers to a cis het person who is supportive but not a member of the community.
@@jillsarah7356 I guess allies of trans people specifically.
I love how the same people who are grasping their pearls and "what about the children" about drag story times are the same people turning around and condoning toddlers in tiaras and baby beauty pageants. Like you don't think there are predators who scope out that scene?!
And Churches! Youth pastors!!!
And also supporting conversion therapy that is like, actual child torture
Literally, they pretend that's what they care about, but it's bs
Lmao they never cared and never will about children, hundreds of children are in abusive homes or in orphanages and they do nothing about it. They're just hateful bigots.
They will just tell you “we hate those things too” oh yeah?? But why make a legislation about this exclusively then?
i am also thinking of the ways they will have to "prove" the person's gender. they see a person they perceive as the opposite gender wearing non-conforming clothing, what's the next step? look at their license? pull their pants down? how is this logistically ever going to work without infringing on millions of people's rights and mental well being honestly
Back before Stonewall this is what happened. People had to wear at least three pieces of clothing of their gender and their ID would be checked. Drag queens often had to get ready in the clubs bathroom. I am sure it happened after Stonewall too.
I would not be surprised that police will molest anyone they pull over for the gender discrimination
@@lynnstlaurent6789 Wow, we are regressing, how pitiful. I have hope that better things are coming, the more generations pass, the more accepting and open to things they become!
That’s probably what they’ll do, they don’t care about rights and mental well being. It’s terrifying
There have been some proposals in my state for girls, under the age of 18, who want to play sports to be "tested" that they are female...blood tests, gyno testing that is only done on adult females, etc. The testing would be done by doctors chosen by a particular school's school board, not by that child's pediatrician/doctor.
I don't believe these bills ever made it out of committee, however there are currently 44 states where high school aged females play ask them about their menstrual cycle on medical forms you have to turn in to play on a school team.
Things can always be made more intrusive, burdensome, or gross to the point where people walk away.
To see Trixie Cosmetics as a written sponsor for the drag isn't dangerous event makes me so happy! I've bought alot of trixie makeup eventhough I don't wear makeup because it's beautiful and I want to support one of my favorite queens so to see her give back like that is amazing! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I’ve seen it in TikTok or somewhere similar “who would you trust your child to sit in the lap of a priest or drag queen?”
For all the clownery and tomfoolery Trixie gets up to, you can't deny that she's an intelligent, well-spoken biological woman who knows how to get her thoughts across.
Biological woman? He is a guy that plays womanface. How is it that if a white person paints their face black they call it racist black face, but if a male puts on makeup and acts like sexist version of what he thinks is a woman that is called empowering?
Yes madam
so tired of whatever “biological woman” is supposed to mean
@@manioke 👁️👄👁️… whaa
@@maniokewe’re literally messing with you, glad to see it worked x
thank you for speaking out on this trixie, people need to wake up
Wake up? Have you looked in the mirror? Seriously mentally ill
“Conservatives being afraid of drag queens I think it is deeply rooted in the fact that my eyebrows are not symmetrical” I CANT💀
Went to an amazing kid friendly drag show at an anime con this past weekend. As a non binary person who really wants to start doing drag, the new laws are very concerning. I feel like who I am as a person is being attacked in multiple directions. Not only do I not have control over my body as an afab person, I now also can be discriminated against for my gender presentation. Luckily I live in an area where I do feel safe but I’m very scared about going on vacation to Cancun in a few short weeks. This discrimination is horrible and I can only hope that the younger generation can fix this moving forward.
There are so many lgbtq+ people who live in Cancun. You don’t need to be scared. Enjoy your trip it’s a beautiful place
Thank you Trixie. I'm in Canada but what happens in the US inevitably trickles directly into our politics. Last year we had protestors at libraries who hosted Drag Queen Story Hours.
I'm grateful that where I am, the legislative bodies and organizations that fund these events are welcoming to 2SLGBTQ+ people. Regardless, the pressure is intense and very scary.
To everyone who's affected by this: I love you. You are not alone. We will fight our way through as our community always has. Love is stronger and more powerful than ignorance and bigotry. Keep going- a better future IS possible. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
👉 There are a TON of conservatives like me that support drag. I just don't think kids should be at drag shows... so I agree with the bill(s). Drag shows should be 18+ everytime. Period. I would love a discussion. *(Let's just all be respectful.)*
Much Love. 🇺🇲 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
We literally can't even protect our own kids here... the homeless population consists of ages 13-24 here. If your child wants to transition here and their parents don't allow it they end up on the STREET. same with dr*gs. You know how hard it is to get an adult to rehab its IMPOSSIBLE to get your child/teen into ANY in canada. The government OWNS you. We have HUGE issues here. Don't pretend. Ignorance must be blissful I WISH I COULD BE SO NIEVE.
@@DeVill3007 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so Drag Storytime events should be 18+?
@@cgt9056 Hmm, well she better ban cartoons then and every art form & genre including kid friendly. Drag is everywhere and has been since long B4 even Shakespeare was doing it. I mean for F*CK sake, I grew up watching Bugs Bunny put on a dress and do drag. Still a cis-het ♀️. It didn't make me gay. 🙄 Kids love costumes - have you never seen how they respond at Disneyland and Chuck E. Cheese! It helps to keep their attention held. Have you ever tried to inspire kids to read or to hold the attention of a whole group of them while reading a story? The costumes help and make it more fun & interesting for the kids.
@@DeVill3007 Your ignorance is showing. Drag is everywhere and always has been. You better go start banning children's cartoons & every other form of art & entertainment too.
Now, if you actually gave a damn about protecting the children, you would be closing the Boy Scouts down. You would be demanding that only 18+ be allowed anywhere near a church and ID's checked!! WE KNOW WHERE THE PEDOPHILES ARE!! WE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN WHERE THEY ARE!! THEY ARE IN THE CHURCHES!! HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ABUSED AND MOLESTED IN THE CHURCHES & BOY SCOUTS IF NOT MILLIONS - AND THAT IS JUST IN 🇺🇸!!
So drop your whole fake drag 👑 story hour is bad for kids bullsh!t. It is just a distraction to keep the focus and pressure off of the churches. The churches that now have to take out molestation insurance because they care more about protecting their 💰 than they give a damn about the children they molest and abuse.
And your whole fake premise for requesting a debate is absurd. You have no legitimate basis for your argument outside of your own hatred, bigotry & ignorance.
YOU are not being reasonable or respectful, so you have no business demanding it from anyone else. HAVE THE DAY THAT YOU DESERVE! 🖕
Here in Arkansas we were THANKFULLY able to beat our Drag Ban. With Eureka Springs, MGA Pagent and the influence of Athena Sinclair. I can film my Drag outside and not be tackled to the ground 🙃 THANK GODS
Cheers, keep up that energy, we desperately need it!
Great
Im so happy to hear this! Gives me hope!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
As a kiwi (from New Zealand), I was shocked to see all this legal change taking place. It's so removed and foreign to the culture I've grown up in that it just feels really surreal.
We had protestors at a drag storytime event for children earlier this year in Christchurch. As a result, the ticket sales skyrocketed, and a whole bunch of families attended. Essentially, the protesting led to more publicity for the drag artist. Still, it can't have been easy for that performer.
I think we are really fortunate here. We also just passed a near unanimous bill banning conversion therapy in New Zealand, which I was really delighted to see.
Disgusting how we going backwards and backwards instead of being more open minded people and more accepting.
people act like that they haven't been entertained by drag and cross dressing for thousands of years. Drag and cross dressing used in theater and entertainment has always been popular and respected as an art that NEVER has been overly sexualized until recent history.
fr they better not get caught watching a Shakespeare play now!
In the UK men have been dressing in Drag and entertaining Kids for decades as Pantomime Dames.
According to Google the first panto dame was in 1806.
This! People have been acting like drag and gender-bending is this new thing when really it's part of history. Even in the modern day, so many famous male actors (ex: Tyler Perry as Madea, Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire, etc.)or iconic pieces of theater and film/TV were influenced by drag.
6 people (3 children) murdered today in TN but drag is what everyone should be worried about. Just manufacturing fear while the real terror has been experienced throughout schools in this country for years. And people will always take the bait.
Politicians know this but say you can’t bring up guns after people just got murdered by guns. It’s A conservatives faux pas. They like to blame it on somthing else. Like mental health somthing they also don’t give a damn about.
But yes those dangerous drag queens should be restricted.
Not to mention the six were murdered via g*n violence in a Christian Private School.
TN deserves legislators and public officials who ACTUALLY care about their safety 💔
And it was a trans woman who did the awful thing...So sad.
It was a trans woman who was a former student and it was a targeted attack on a Christian school. Crazy comes in all genders.
We can be concerned about MULTIPLE THINGS, especially when queer children need as much protecting as any other child. Maybe you should care about them too.
Its a wonder they haven't banned Shakespeare in American schools, he literally came up with the term drag and had men dressing as women in every single one of his plays
You’re not speaking into an echo chamber, you’re educating the public
i went to pride last summer aged 15 and met a drag queen. she was singing in a small tent away from the main stage to a small group of people, most of whom were teens. it was not perverse or dangerous or confusing. it was a person in a fun costume singing britney spears songs, and everyone in that tent was dancing, singing and having fun. but in certain places, that queen would have been arrested. stand up for drag, for queer lives, for self expression and for love always ❤
From a TN momma please know this bill is not approved by all and I am extremely ashamed to be from TN, my family and I have been seriously looking into leaving due to the hate.
Much love to all
If you can stay safely and affect change with voting and personal activism, that would be powerful.
I second this, from fellow TN mama. ❤
We DO NOT agree with all this new anti-LGBTQIA legislation! It's just heartbreaking 💔
Yes!!! I’m from TN also and I absolutely agree that this ban is just ridiculous!!!
Also in TN, also think this stuff is crap. Unfortunately, they have our state so gerrymandered there is no fixing it for awhile.
Girl, leave and come to New York! 💙
I have to admit, I truly didn't understand the drag bans until I watched this video. I'm horrified. you did a great job explaining why the issue is so big and has the potential to get even bigger.
Have you read the bill? There’s no major drag ban…it’s just been regulated as adult entertainment, which is exactly what it is.
Drag has honestly saved me. I suffer severe depression, anxiety, and watching you, watching drag race, consuming drag content is what has kept me going and given me something to look forward to in the hard times. ❤
This reminds me of that viral video of a woman speaking to the town council about how she had never been sexually assaulted at a drag show. But she had been in church. TWICE.
As a queer woman in the church thank you for the awareness of those who believe in the love and acceptance of faith, not the hateful and judgemental side of the church.
It is so important to point out in times like these!! Conservatives will never take our voices away!
it’s crazy that Trixie felt the need to say “if you’re a conservative and you find this and you think i look like Voldemort, just know that us drag queens are not half as evil”. like..WHY DOES THAT NEED TO BE SAID
She said it because conservative Christians thing drag is evil!!!...its the whole point of what she's saying!!!!
Drag queens are some of the kindest most loving people I’ve ever met
My wife & I won't visit TN at this point. She identifies as a woman but has short hair & wears men's clothes. To all the people saying it's "just kids at drag shows" - it's not! My wife could technically be arrested in TN!! And that's to say nothing about trans or non binary people who could be affected. It's utterly ridiculous!!!
The drag ban as well as the abortion and trans discussions are so weird to me because I thought the US was all about freedom and stuff. I can't imagine having the government dictate what I can and can't wear or even medical procedures. This entire thing is insane.
Yeah it really is
They just straight up said “All people are equal, but some people are more equal than others”
Trixie is correct, not all Queens perform for children. The ones that do bust their asses to make sure that EVERYTHING from what they read/sing/say to their hair/makeup/ dress they wear is appropriate. No queen I know is trying to corrupt children, if anything they're trying to do a service for their community like Reading Time with the Queens.
What they look like and say during that is VASTLY different from the set and look they use in the monthly drag show at the local gay bar.
What you said about the real intent to be punishing trans and gay people is exactly what I've been thinking! It's insidious.
I was arrested for yelling at the TN governor a couple weeks ago. I am hoping I don’t end up in prison by the end of the summer for wearing yarn wigs and Lipsyncing to Faith hill.
Hello hello as your current reigning Miss Midsouth Pride!
This conservative discriminating backwards politics in the US scares me and makes me sad! Love that you’re speaking up Trixie ❤!
I am so glad she is speaking up as well too. These drag bans also affect tomboys like me, because they want to ban women from wearing pants again. America is having it’s Christofascist version of the Iranian Revolution and I am scared to death. So glad Trixie is calling it out
They can't claim they support the Constitution (used a lot with the 2nd amendment) and ignore the obvious violation of the 1st Amendment by banning drag. Of course they stacked the supreme court so they are obviously feeling they can violate any rights they want.
The amount of awareness she has is astounding to me. Like she really talks about every party that's going to be affected negatively by this
Thank you so much for your words. I live in Tennessee. My son and DIL live next door to me. He's a disabled vet and she's Trans. I love her to pieces and am terrified about what's going on here in our own community. I constantly fear for her safety. And I see her becoming more and more depressed.
It’s absolutely wild that Tennessee did this but they love Dolly Parton, who one could argue, participates in drag.
I’m a Christian. When the news story broke, I tackled it head on, on my Facebook page, where my pastors wife is a friend. I go to a Pentecostal church, and many views they share are not mine. You’re my fav drag queen(I’m that b*tch with the long luscious locks that loves your scrunchies) and I’ve dropped mouths when people comment on them. I’m from KY, a lot of people around here are very anti drag. I don’t get it. Christ told us to love everyone. That’s what I choose. Love, always love.
im an atheist myself but thats what always confused me about christians. christ said to love everybody, so why do they constantly choose hate? isnt that the opposite of what he wanted?? theyre so hypocritical.
@@moppupaws it really is. It’s a part of the issues within a Christian church. It really is about love and unfortunately many can’t see past their biases to see the human in everyone.
@@moppupaws Hate sin .
@@richcampbell6808 By attacking and dehumanizing the sinner. 😀
@@richcampbell6808 Hate the sin, not the sinner. You missed half of that proverb try again. This legislation isn't attacking the so called "sin", it's attacking the innocent people just trying to live their lives.
LOVED seeing the Muslim community come out to support us at our Trans Visibility march here in New Orleans
I love that your not just talking about it, but giving people ideas and ways to use there voice and the almighty dollar to DO something about it! Great job, Trixie!!! ❤
I'm a queer white woman in TN. I'm scared for all of us, but mostly for our beautiful POC Kings and Queens.
Thank you for speaking on this. ❤❤
White savior vibes from you.
Praying for y’all over there. ❤️
It’s so scary.
I hate how we are regressing so far as a society, we are constantly having to have the same conversations over and over ("no, that minority group is NOT evil"). Thanks for giving us your perspective!
Not really. It's not a BAN... it's a RESTRCTION. Just like R rated movies. The issue never came up, because until 5 years ago or so, you never SAW drag queens performing at children's events.
@@brockreynolds870not true lol, all ages events have existed for eons
@@gone1453 You got any examples? Because the only place I saw a drag queen was in a bar or in the pride parade, 35 years ago. And children were not at the pride events back then.
@@brockreynolds870 Get out of here with that nonsense. Just because YOU never saw a drag queen doesn't mean they haven't been around. And calling it a "restriction" instead of a "ban" doesn't magically make it okay. It's absolutely unacceptable to target groups like that and pretend they're all dangerous.
@@saxamachick Not using correct terminology is the basis of "spin" and why people on other sides of arguments never listen or trust the media, or people like you, for that matter. You need top be accruate, upfront, and truthful, if you expect people to take you seriously. If these people were really trying to be assholes, they would have made a TOTAL ban. But they didn't and y'all are making it seem like it is.
When I was young one of the first drag queens I saw (trixie) did actually scare me, but not because I thought she was going to do something to me, but because it was back during season seven when she looked like a clown and I’m afraid of clowns lmao
She had blue contacts and a dream lol
@@haydenfisher1387 more like blue contacts and a nightmare
I'm not done watching, but before my chemotherapy boggled brain forgets, I love the image of the plotting queens around the risk board, and I want to see it happen! Lol. I honestly like your work. Keep it up! Thanks pal, you're awesome.
J'ai découvert les drag Queens grâce à la chanson "Let me be a Drag Queen" puis plus tard dans ma petite ville de France , dans un bar gay. J'ai toujours aimé cet humour piquant , extraverti... Ces univers portés si fièrement. J'aime qu'elles soient politique. Alors de tout coeur avec vous. L'intolérance ne passera pas par moi. ❤
Bonjour et merci beaucoup!
Mon français est comme-çi comme-ça mais je voudrais dire merci!
C’est pertinent que nous continuons parler plus de ce sujet! Les États-uni est très insupportable, je veux dire les fonctionnaires du gouvernement.
So slay. I don’t speak French but translation helped me understand. Thank you for participating in the conversation
je suis d'accord totalement
I don’t know French but thank you for listening to the subject about our queer issues in North America! I wish we lived in a world where LGBTQIA people were accepted without legislation harming us.
Yeah, the policing and enforcement of 'gender norms' expression has been so scary. So many of the state legislatures are already doing strange dress codes (women can't show their upper arms, because apparently it means legislation can't be argued?) towards their own members-it's just a continuing terrifying time in the cultural zeitgeist.
As someone born and raised in Tennessee I am ABSOLUTELY ENRAGED and EMBARRASSED over this Legislation….
Here in Oklahoma I will support yall and spread the word. Though it is hard being in this state.
I was pleased to see Trixie so aware of her own privilege and position in terms of this legislature when compared to transgender individuals, people of color, and even those who simply are not making as much money as she is. Very astute
Huge respect to your mother, Trixie. My family chose my religion at birth. Now that I’m an adult and have found I disagree with the values and practices of the church, I am an atheist and it’s been quite alienating to deal with. I never want my child to go through that though. Allowing your child a choice in their religion is a great thing and should be much more normalized
It’s clothing, makeup and acting and not hurting anyone. Get a life haters.
In my small town in Ohio we were supposed to have drag Queen readings at the local library but gown white men in masks were protesting and making threats so we had to cancel it…just goes to show you these town will never change until the people do 😕
I'm a trans high school teacher, and this whole mess is terrifying. Thanks for talkin' bout it Trixie
Thank you for your service. I'm a retired high school teacher. Be well.
@@mizotter Thank you as well
i'm sorry about what's been going on with you guys, please be safe
My little brother is trans and we live in Texas, so I'm always scared when he goes somewhere without me. 💔 It's so sad that this is happening and I hope things can change soon.

Literally going to a drag show tonight! Lucky to live in a city where you can go to a local drag show just about any night of the week
i also did not grow up religious, and always felt grateful for it. however, i was the only person i knew without a religion my entire life which made me so confused by people's bigotry that stemmed from that
