Are Drag Queens Coming For Your Kids?? – EARLY ACCESS, AD-FREE, AND UNCENSORED
Added 2023-06-20 00:41:19 +0000 UTCHi. In today's episode, we look at the right-wing moral panic surrounding drag queens, the nonsensical laws many states are trying to pass, and the ways in which grifters are trying to use the panic to attack the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
And here's the full essay that's referenced in the second half of the episode: https://sites.middlebury.edu/sexandsociety/files/2015/01/Rubin-Thinking-Sex.pdf
(We're trying out Patreon's video player, but you can also watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FDv_VxeVcL0)

Does anyone have a link to the decades-old NYT “Against Homosexuality” article/op-ed that was shown on screen during this episode? I couldn’t find any reference to it in the sources doc

2023-07-11 00:40:01 +0000 UTCSo, if men do not traditionally wear skirts then how do we explain kilts? I really have so many feelings about gender roles and how hung up so many people are on them. Also on the fact that this country is so hung up on sex as well. We sexualize everything, and as long as it is "good, clean, hetero sex" it is okay, but the second it becomes something else... something other, then it becomes an issue. ARGHHHH!

2023-06-27 18:41:54 +0000 UTCThis was a great episode! Re: the video player, I'm a YouTube premium subscriber mostly for the ability to download and play offline. I don't have wifi in my shop, which is where I do most of my video and podcast listening. So I'm hoping you'll continue to upload subscriber videos to YouTube as well, and I'm still looking for a way to get the EMN podcasts to be downloadable without their *abysmal* app.

2023-06-22 12:03:55 +0000 UTCI'm still sorta stuck on that Ben Shapiro clip. Is he against women wearing "men's" pants? Would he be okay with drag queens if they all wore kilts instead of skirts made for women? I'm wearing men's underwear right now and I don't have a dick, so I use the little dick pocket to carry my vape pen sometimes. Does Ben want to take that away from me?

Karen Cox
2023-06-21 14:47:43 +0000 UTCAlso, if ‘sexual content’ is a problem, then why not ban kids from weddings which are ceremonies solely designed to give people permission to have sex.
Karen Cox
2023-06-21 14:15:52 +0000 UTCSo Shakespeare is now dangerous? Will the summer production of ‘As You Like It’ be banned?

2023-06-21 02:47:23 +0000 UTCI thought this country was founded on puritanical weirdos pushing their shit on everyone and not letting the poors threaten the ultra wealthy/powerful? Stupid Federalist Papers...

2023-06-21 01:54:58 +0000 UTCImpassioned and earnest Katy is my favorite Katy, right behind "I'm selling your blood and doors Katy"
Aaron Lutes
2023-06-21 01:36:09 +0000 UTCI'm constantly infuriated these days. I was lurking (reading only, not commenting) in some Twitter comments of people who are constantly claiming drag = pedophile. They linked to a video of an actual pedophile getting caught in a sting (the guy was middle-aged, white guy, that looks like / was dressed like anyone you'd see in a Baptist congregation) and they were saying that all pedophiles should be punished by h@nging, or other d3@th penalty actions. I don't support pedophiles but the extreme reaction is over the top. The right is simply full of violent, terrified, angry, hate-filled trolls. It is truly stomach-churning.
Pelicans are my favorite dinosaur
2023-06-21 00:06:48 +0000 UTCIn case it's being considered to move purely to the Patreon player for future videos: I like to watch through the YouTube app on my TV. Being able to use my remote to mess with the video, while keeping my laptop free for other things. I'm not sure if there's a way to keep things as convenient for me with just the Patreon player. Thanks for tackling the great subject matter, as always!

2023-06-20 20:50:44 +0000 UTCThe church is crazy. Drink gods blood to live forever, teach lil kids demons are out to get their souls, tithe 10% every week. Church is supposed to transform people, specifically from their heart space…. Religious people are a great example of how religion is a failure. It’s maddening that they wanna find pedophiles so badly but don’t wanna go after the church at all
Andrew Cottingham
2023-06-20 20:42:08 +0000 UTCAnita Bryant. Oh boy. Hates the gays while both her dad and husband physically abused her. You’d have to be severely indoctrinated to your culture to overlook such brazen abuse while claiming another minority is creating chaos in the culture with their existence
Andrew Cottingham
2023-06-20 20:25:53 +0000 UTCI believe only his friends call him Dick. He prefers to be called Richard Clown . Also side note, it's nice to see Cody and Katy presenting the show together. More please :)

2023-06-20 20:12:47 +0000 UTClol, "Erotic DMZ" gonna have to start using that instead of "trial separation" when I talk about my divorce

2023-06-20 12:00:14 +0000 UTCI wouldn't mind it if jazz was banned. I can't stand the stuff, I had it forced on me at guitar lessons in my youth. That's the only reason I would love to see jazz banned. And also I'm joking about banning jazz, but I'm not lying about my feelings for jazz, As always, love you guys!

Carl P Crossgrove
2023-06-20 06:16:04 +0000 UTCLove how Katy just had major puke face at Cody getting the film reference wrong. Cementing Cody’s hetero cred. Also love that you discussed former enslaved black cross dressing badass Swann, showed some of our funnier and more erudite current queens, and gave props to those and all the other historical queers for fighting on the front lines. People don’t necessarily get it, but the fascists absolutely will not stop at drag story hour, as idiotic as that already is. They’re going after birth control, talking about dress codes, and drafting legislation that gives women zero control over their reproductive health. They're never going to stop, and the response is definitely not “waiting to see what happens”…. We already watched that movie. Kudos on a consistently hilarious and engaging episode and especially kudos to Katie for falling through the floor, on her neck, while keeping 2 shotglasses full of party juice.

2023-06-20 06:15:56 +0000 UTCExcellent as always. The Patreon Player worked fine for me

2023-06-20 05:53:30 +0000 UTCAdding another "thanks for continuing to include the YouTube link" to the chorus - Patreon doesn't seem to play the audio in the background when I need to switch to another app for awhile on mobile, like YouTube does

2023-06-20 02:26:53 +0000 UTCMy closest brother and sister and I grew up with our upstairs neighbor being a homosexual prostitute (who was a wonderful person!) and it did not harm us in any way.
Jackie Rekowski
2023-06-20 02:20:31 +0000 UTCI don't know why, but your little Patreon ad break notes make me feel warm and fuzzy. And I really want to see more Katy. Maybe she can have her own show, like The Katy Hour that's like a 10 minute rant. You two have great screen chemistry, too. Thank you for somehow being the most wholesome news show on YouTube.
Chelsea Seachord
2023-06-20 02:11:42 +0000 UTCPlease keep listing the youtube link in the description. I don't mind having to go one extra step, but I'm not super into the patreon video player. -- More precisely, I'm not into the concept of patreon having a video player-- unless there's some chance they can give youtube serious competition in which case I'll support it.
Isaac Comer-Wyrd
2023-06-20 02:10:51 +0000 UTCThanks for including the youtube link. The patreon player doesnt work well with moble and headphones (at least for me)
Made of Stardust
2023-06-20 02:09:38 +0000 UTClove the idea of getting to avoid youtube/google. think you can convince patreon to add "theater mode", where the video expands to be the same width as the window?

2023-06-20 02:03:22 +0000 UTCI can’t express enough how much I love when you drop each new episode. Seriously makes my day, or at the very least a great hour of my day (plus dose first few rewatches yo). I’m a little drunk and emotional right now and maybe somewhat incoherent but I fucking love you guys. You give me hope.
