 what's going to happen to gay people well they could still get married right they would just have to marry somebody of the other biological sex so i what yeah we we have to set boundaries how merciful we're gonna watch this vice documentary so this is called god's law and um it's about the fight to ban dragon ohio and uh dax mccoy one of my viewers sent this to me and i wanted to check it out because this is very interesting we hear from some christian nationalists in this documentary and what they say is predictably stupid and unintentionally hilarious heavenly father we are so grateful for the privilege to come and learn about what you are doing in the state house for these things in jesus holy we're outside a church in boise to attend a town hall organized by the idaho family policy center a right-wing christian lobby organization who wrote this bill outlying a sexualized exhibition in public spaces also known as the anti-drag bill please welcome blaine kanzadi hello everyone it's good to see you tonight man this is a good crowd thank you for coming out blaine kanzadi is a key figure in conservative idaho politics he's helped pass laws restricting access to abortion and limit trans students participation in girl sports now he's rallying support for his latest effort the house bill 265 the drags legislation passed off the house floor this morning yeah you want to have kids at your drag show don't do it you want to have adults at your drag show you want to do that your private venue that's fine under this legislation check id's at the door that's pretty basic to me kanzadi's bill i love how they're just like all of a sudden pro nanny state after decades of them claiming that they're in favor of small governments i mean for republicans to the extent that they supported a smaller government it was a government small enough to fit in your own bedrooms or in your own family's home so that way they can police every single thing that you and your family does i mean i just have to say get a life why are you focused on what other people do if your constituents or you know people in your state want to take their children to drag queen story hour and you disagree with that tough titties mind your own fucking business like i don't like the idea of parents taking their children to gun shows for example and i think it's maybe inappropriate to take your son to a hooters but guess what i'm not a parent i don't get a fucking saying this okay and neither do you when it comes to the parents with kids who want to go to a drag show or who might be lgbtq or trans in particular like just mind your own fucking business and that's the only way that we can exist as a pluralistic society you mind your business all my my business will live the lives that we think is appropriate and then we all live happily ever after but these dipsheds they can't help themselves they have to impose their christian nationalist ideology on everyone you can't legislate morality you can't impose your morality on others or expect your morality to reign in the public square is that true as christians we know that god's law is the perfect reflection of morality okay but i don't know if you've heard about this thing called the separation of church and state it's pretty important because it's in the first amendment but you don't get to do that i mean to the extent that lawmakers are able to legislate morality i mean they do right they take action to protect people that's what seatbelt laws are right um but what he's referring to is a very specific type of morality it's god's laws you know and i find that interesting because what even is biblical morality because god himself like he put thou shall not murder in like the 10 commandments so i'm assuming it's pretty important if he put it there but he couldn't even follow his own commandments did you not hear about the story of noah where he was so triggered by people doing degenerate things that he flooded the world and killed everyone including babies i mean if a god can't even follow his own fucking commandments don't you think that that morality system is a little bit flawed or at least requires further questioning i mean if that god would kill babies don't you think that that god is maybe immoral and shouldn't be followed well of course not because these people are dipshits and to even pretend as if they've thought about their own bible and you know system of morality this much is being way too charitable they've never thought about these things if his law is the perfect reflection of morality then wouldn't we want to model our civil laws after his after that perfect law when men begin to shirk back from their responsibility and allow evil men to set policies and set rules and promote evil in the public square we get here kanzadi is just one piece of a national movement of right-wing christian groups like the family research council and alliance defending freedom that's had remarkable success pushing anti-lgbtq laws this year 10 states have passed bills restricting gender affirming care for trans youth and 18 states have introduced bills to restrict drag shows kanzadi's work often involves strategizing with lawmakers like ben tapes who sponsored the drag bill in the senate i think that there's going to be a hearing on the bill guaranteed okay as far as a path to getting it passed there's a few people that i'm going to have to get on board i'm hearing that as a theme where people a lot of people are concerned about civil rights of action alliance defending freedom and heritage and family research council they only want bills with civil cause of action enforcement mechanisms at this point because we rely on prosecutors to enforce these types of yeah just it's not going to happen kanzadi's bill would restrict any public drag show deemed quote patently offensive to an average person it was inspired in part by a viral video show what does that even mean though because what is and isn't offensive is highly subjective what some people interpreted as inappropriate dancing in front of kids but not everyone has the same that was the video that was inappropriate it was inspired in part by a viral video showing what some people interpreted as inappropriate oh no i can't let these kids how are their heads not exploding there's got to be at least one example that exists this is a large country that's better than that right come on interpreted as inappropriate dancing in front of kids but not everyone has the same idea all the kids are all the kids that are being hypnotized and they're automatically being turned trans that's that's why they're offended that's what they think is happening yeah she showed ankle there you go that's that's part of the problem there show ankle then these kids are going to get uh sexualized and i don't even fucking know like these people are absolute psychopaths not sociopaths like they are psychopaths they are genuinely psychotic like i usually try not to diagnose people over the internet because i'm not qualified to do that but i think that all of us are qualified to deduce that these people are absolute fucking lunatics offensive i firmly believe that drag shows are sexual in nature when you expose children to that type of material it will harm children where is your evidence that seeing a drag show causes harm to a child so there is a wealth of scientific and academic literature that demonstrate is there is there though bro is there though come on because if these studies existed then uh why didn't you mention them in 2018 there were zero drag bills proposed or bans on drag shows proposed then why is this all of a sudden in the year 2023 and at the end of 2022 an issue that requires all of our urgency come on you're full of shit the harm caused the children by sexual conduct there's a reason why but you're equating drag shows with sexual conduct absolutely yep yep so there's no okay there's no spectrum there so certainly there are some types of sexual conduct that are more obscene than others but adult entertainment can be anal gang bang and it can be a drag show on the street sure yeah when you are exposing kids to drag performances you are exposing them to a vision of sexuality and gender that's transgressive that's the purpose of drag welcome listen everybody should feel comfortable here because you are in a loving queer space and we love you all thank you so much for being here oh my god but what if the kids hear that message we love you all you're in a loving space but he's wearing makeup though oh my god i don't like it ban it makes me feel uncomfortable Idaho is a conservative state but it has a vibrant drag community still like much of the country they've experienced a surge in violence and threats last summer dozens of members of the far-right group Patriot Front were arrested and accused of plotting an attack on a pride event in Coeur d'Alene later the Boise Pride Festival was forced to cancel its youth drag show over safety concerns Aslan Walker is a non-binary 15 year old who was planning to perform drag is like the embodiment of self-expression drag is so important to me because of the fact that I have found an actual community and like group of people that I feel safe within so you found yourself absolutely I mean how is this any different than ballet or like letting your kids do dance class or something like that I mean I just the hysteria over this is so ludicrous that like I don't think that normal people see this and think okay yeah that's sexualizing kids I think that most people see this and they think okay you're fucking dumb if you're worried about this I'm worried about other things actual issues that affect kids perhaps gun violence because that's the number one cause of death for kids in the United States not drag shows not you know any LGBTQ plus pride events but gun violence yeah I just see happiness exactly they want to stop this non-binary teenager from performing when it makes them happy because they're just assholes like they're miserable pricks and they want to bring all of us down to their level of perpetual misery I had a performance that I had been working on for four months Aslan taught themselves to lip syncing Korean and Mandarin what happened to that there were many incredibly like threatening violent protesters that were threatening to come to the show with guns basically but I mean like if they saw this kid performing in Mandarin and dancing then you know that might turn the other kid's trans or something and you know this this mom here has different colored hair so it must be that she pushed this on on her child here I mean how can you look at this how can you hear from these people and think there's something evil going on or something degenerate going on here called us groomers said we were all pedophiles it was a call to arms it was really awful it was a very scary time for us when they just remember that every accusation is a confession when it comes to republicans so the people who are calling you groomers and pedophiles probably have some skeletons in the closet themselves this bill they presented it as this sort of common sense thing like you know we're not going after the drag community at large we just don't want our kids to be exposed to perversions right is that um misrepresentation then all of the children that I see at the drag shows love it they love the costumes and the glitter and the pretty makeup I feel like the people who are creating these bills don't really realize that who they think they're protecting they're just hurting what will it mean that's a great point you know republicans they see that child there and they think it's terrible that you were groomed into this lifestyle and you think you're non-binary when really you're not but that's not appropriate for kids also I think that kids should return to work and let's uh get rid of child labor laws and send them back to the factories and the coal mines I mean these people don't give a fuck about kids I can't stress that enough they don't care at all about kids and this is just about enacting their theocratic agenda and they are doing everything in their power to subject all of us to the laws that they believe are divine and come from their gods that's what this is about they're autocrats pure and simple your community if Idaho keeps going in the direction and which is going we're probably gonna have to move out of the state yeah at this point it kind of feels like we're fleeing I've lived here my entire life this is the state where I've been raised so having to leave will be horrible but also I can't stay here like this is not a healthy place for me to be in any way they're trying to build this world where only people like them are allowed to exist true what would your ideal America look like so we would want to see government following biblical law when it moved to Saudi Arabia then you dipshit that is unconstitutional not all of us agree with your version of morality in fact in fact I think that your version of morality is actually morally bankrupt and deeply immoral but that's not acceptable no like you wouldn't like it if I said I want to impose atheism on everyone but it's okay for him to impose his dumb fuck fairy tale beliefs on all of us fuck you baldy to moral issues I mean we look no this to other bald people because the interviewer is bald and brave I don't know why I said that bald people are good I'm sorry bald people forgive me fuck this bald person though the United States and the 17 and 1800s when you follow God's laws you experience the same type of prosperity freedom no matter what time you're you're implementing those laws in well I mean like I wouldn't say that America was necessarily a free country back in the 18th century this he's just sitting there he's like this is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my fucking life yeah that's such a good point he's wearing mixed linens oh time to be put to death you're gonna get stoned motherfucker should I do it or are you gonna do it yourself you can't wear clothing of mixed linens also did you eat shellfish because that's against the bible Leviticus bitch look it up these people are just I can't handle them they're too stupid okay and say that America was necessarily a free country back in the 18th century I would I would beg to differ America at that time was the most free country in in the world and has remained that way since what's gonna happen to gay people okay before we get to what's gonna happen to gay people because I think he knows that he wants to put us all to death but he is basically tacitly saying we were more free when white people could own slaves yeah and when women weren't able to vote legally okay that's a hell of a take hell of a take somebody who is same-sex attracted would have just as much of a place in society okay he's gay I'm gonna say he is homosexual okay because I was on these forums when I was a teenager and a Christian and this is a term that they use nobody's gay but they're same-sex attracted and I'm fighting my same-sex attraction he just tacitly admitted that he is in the closet okay maybe he's deeply in the closet maybe he has blown dudes you know in bathrooms and asked for forgiveness but he just outed himself right there so yeah yeah he thinks that if he goes ham against minorities and gay people and people of color that God will forgive him for getting boners looking at men's butts or something like that um sorry brother you're a degenerate but let's continue probably not recognize um you know the a marriage they're so not really not really just as much of a place oh absolutely just as much of a place but there would be certain things that they would be barred from no they wouldn't be barred from anything that anyone else would be allowed to do except marriage well they could still get married right they would just have to marry somebody of the other biological sex so I what yeah we we have to set boundaries how merciful and I'm sorry but doesn't your bible say that gay people should be put to death so just the mere fact that you think that they should be able to exist that's a bit of a tell is it not because this dude is same sex attracted and he doesn't want to be put to death simply because he's attracted to dudes so wow but it's funny how much you can learn from someone um just by listening to the terminology that they use and the way that they describe things he doesn't want to put gay people to death just not allow them to get married so same same sex attracted people probably like him you know they just are forced to live as straight people or be celibate forever what a very merciful person wow what what a loving free society marriage right we already do with polygamy do you ever wonder if you're like on the wrong side of footloose with kevin bacon we don't want the dancing to take place yeah exactly well is that what you're saying no of course not but we will no it is what you're saying because you were triggered by a video of a trans or not a trans person um what was it that first year they showed it was the drag queen yeah they were all clutching their pearls because a drag queen was dancing not dancing in a sexual manner at all but yeah you you are at the opposite side of the fucking footloose people or whatever the analogy he used was okay until biblical truth and christian morality is the prevailing philosophy in the public square okay that's all that we're gonna watch of this how about you go fuck yourself fuck your bible i wipe my ass with the pages of your bible suck my dick get a hobby get laid get wrecked loser up yours up your son's a bitch a bitch a bitch a wolf more or less more or less i dreamed i saw my maternal grandmother she was stroking herself absentmindedly i let her have her way hey i let her have her way
