[@samijodavis9204]

As for the flag, there are actual laws about the way you have to treat the American flag, I'm pretty sure the 'it can't touch the ground' is one. Also, you can't have a damaged flag flying. It's insane. And, there are many schools here where kids do in fact 'learn about god' they are Christian schools. And the reason the pledge was removed from public schools was because it had the line 'one nation under God' and there's supposed to be a separation of church and state.

As an American (who even served in the Navy) I have always thought the flag obsession is so bizarre.

[@bigboxxx]

It's what the flag represents, not what the flag literally is.

[@Sabah_Taj]

It’s not just being patriotic. The ritual chanting to a flag, the need to put it anywhere and everywhere, etc… I really don’t care one way or another but I feel like it’s an odd thing that seems United States-specific and I kind of feel like it trivializes it somewhat if anything. If it makes you feel proud to wear American flag boxers; sweaty red, white and blue Tshirts; with a beer in your America coozie and fly Old Glory everywhere she can catch a breeze, you do you! (I’m not saying you in particular, but that’s more the level of “extreme” I’m referencing).

[@sharimeline3077]

@@bigboxxx Only it IS what the flag actually is, the physical object. You can love what it represents without being obsessed over how a piece of cloth is treated. The rest of the word manages to do that.

[@alderfae9898]

Same. It's freaking weird. Honestly...I hate living in America. I wish I had the means to live with my gf in Germany. I got to spend some time with her last summer and we went to pride and had so much fun. I miss her😢

“If a person is gay… you’re eventually going to be gay.” This is my new favorite quote. I have no idea what he meant by this at all LMAO

[@TiaTruly]

🤔 I think it means that I was born gay but didn't know I was gay bc it was the 'before times' where there was no education or visibility, but eventually figured out I was lesbian when I was all grown up and married to a man? 🤦🏻‍♀️ my head hurts lmao

I was like wait....what do you mean you're eventually going to be gay? You just said the person is gay...its not like you have to go out and do a test to get your fabulous license or something..I would have looked at him and said"if a person is a human...you're eventually going to be a human...do you hear how dumb that sounds?"

[@lisakleinehexe7447]

My only explanation would be that he thinks queerness is contagious and if another person is being gay around you - you eventually become gay - which would contradict his other point that you "chose to be gay" like you "chose your religion" which I find quite a stretch anyway, chosing religions.

[@leeshaolivier9298]

Absolutely profound.

[@XievisTheDragon]

I am asexual, I had no idea what asexual was till I was in my 30s. I am a trans man. I had no idea what gender dysphoria was till I was 40. I wish someone taught me this stuff when I was younger :(

[@Rikrobat]

Fellow asexual who didn’t learn about the term until her thirties either. These things can make such a difference in a world where you feel like an outcast. So glad you have found yourself. ❤🏳️‍⚧️

[@borealernadelwald]

I'm another ace that found out in their 30s (+ aromantic & agender afterwards in rapid succession) No one taught me to be any of this, learning that it exists just gave me a way to understand myself, understand why there were so many confusing feelings and situations in my past. The moment I realised that I'm not just broken, but just another part of the human experience felt so freeing. I think especially the a-specs need more visibility, because it's so incredibly difficult to figure out that there is something you DON'T have. If you are gay, lesbian, bi, pan etc, you know that you are attracted to the same/opposite/non-binary genders, but how was I supposed to know that my aesthetic attraction is not the same as the sexual attraction my peers talked about? That I only know what "sexy" is, because I associated a certain look with it from others talking about it? I hope future generations have it easier with figuring out who they are. It feels so much better to know that there isn't anything wrong with you, just because you are a little bit different.

[@crownclowncreations]

Right? My entire life I thought something was wrong with me. Why did I hate my own body so much? Why couldn't I relate more to my girl classmates? Why did I not like the thought of "being the girl" in a relationship? Why did everyone seem to be much more s*xually and romantically attracted to others? Turns out I was trans and demisexual (and ADHD). For a while I thought I was asexual, but I knew that also didn't fit how I felt. I've always been trans. I've always been demi and pan. I just didn't have the words for it, because I literally had never even heard of "gender identity" until I was 16.

[@christinaford7021]

I'm another asexual who's 24 now, and I only realized a year ago, and I'm trans non-binary. Both of those identities were unbeknownst to me until very recently as well

[@daniellecool89]

Yes same for me , i am trans i was 24 when i really knew it and pansexual when i was 19. But i have to google everything because on sex education my school skip topic LGBTQ+ twice.(On two different schools) 2010/2013 where other times.I question already thing when i was 11/12 to 24 so cost me only 13 years of my life. Xd could be way faster to just know what it was

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

It's the same for autistic people. We were always here. I wasn't diagnosed until my mid 30s. But I've always been autistic. But now people are questioning my existence because we are finally forming a community thanks to the internet and meeting groups. Neurotypicals STILL discriminate against us every day and we don't have protections in any country. It makes me angry. Autism is NOT a trend. We've always been here and finally got a voice, and we are still being bullied out of livelihoods due to rampant discrimination and hate from neurotypicals.

[@teri2466]

[@Atticus_Loves_Lacquer]

Seconded as someone with a very similar reality 🫶🫂♾️

[@jerrimenard3092]

Also, a higher percentage of us are LGBTQ then in the general population. I was diagnosed at 40 and I am nonbinary. I am also pansexual. Getting gender affirming care when you are on the Autism Spectrum is very helpful in reducing anxiety and depression.

[@Werevampiwolf]

People are like "there didn't used to be autistic people" but like, yes, there was. We've always been here. It just used to be "John doesn't talk much but he's a damn good shepard" or "Margaret hates going into town but she's the best weaver I've ever seen" or even just "my kid was kidnapped and replaced by fairies"

[@dietotaku]

i never understood the hate autistic people get, it's just a different way of seeing the world, why be mad about that? who does that hurt? well this past school year my son was identified as being on the spectrum, and the more i started learning about what falls under the umbrella of autism, the more i started seeing myself...

The book he’s talking about is just a general sex education box for lgbtq young people. It’s “this book is gay” by Juno Dawson…. So in school they have health and sexual education and it explains what’s sexual touch is, consent, how people end up with a pregnancy, how people get STDs, how that can affect for you LIFE, etc. and for decades, anything outside of teen pregnancy wasn’t really discussed, so now there are resources geared to lgbtq youth since they were excluded. There were young gay men for example who assumed since they could not get pregnant, there was no need to use protection or safety measures in sexual experimentation since they were excluded from the texts. Texts literally just said you had to use protect so the female partner could not get pregnant or get an std. that and they promoted abstinence.

[@Skye_7_7]

Of course he was talking about that 1 🙄 That guy, he’s just… no words even. The insanity!

[@infinitivez]

A book that was published back in 2014, who's suggested reading age is was literally 14-17. Not 11. And is currently considered to be in the 10-18 category, years later, because the subject matter is benign. Imagine my surprise that someone would stretch the truth.

[@ErisIsAnAbomination]

10:59 Not only this, but “impressionability” does NOT mean “blindly going along with anything with a smile on your face.” Kids are capable of feeling uncomfortable and KNOWING when something isn’t right or doesn’t agree with what they know and want for themselves. If I were to (hypothetically) try and convince a straight child that he’s gay, I’m sure he’d know enough about himself to not be convinced. Kids know themselves and have self-awareness. Treat them that way. Edit: We also need to mention how this entire argument is literally just an excuse to not believe or listen to queer children and strip them of any autonomy they have.

I went to a Catholic school in South America,and we did the flag loyalty stuff too. I was definitely influenced, taught, and brainwashed to be intensely homophobic. It took a lot of time and effort to break free from all that BS and even realize that I had crushes on both boys and girls. I prefer 10000% kids learning tolerance in school rather than prayers. Especially in the US, "thoughts and prayers" never helped any child.

I wonder if that guy who’s upset about books would object to a Bible being in a classroom because there is some verrry scandalous stuff in that book

[@bellememorie]

Right! I always wonder if they have actually read it, cover to cover. I think most of them have not.

[@Amethystar]

You want to talk violent media, that book has genocide, torture, the beating of slaves, and a woman who drives a spike into a man's head with a hammer. I'm not against the Bible as a religious text, but it's so hypocritical to be upset with one form of secular media that contains violence or sexual content, but the Bible is fine because God said so. I grew up a fairly staunch Christian, but I've been able to question what I actually believe and am still on that journey. I get how deep the brainwashing goes, and I wish more people were encouraged to have authentic faith and not be shamed for having doubts and questions. (Still haven't brought it up with my family, though. Those conversations are tiring.)

[@user-uo9kf1sx5o]

exactly. did jesus have any friends that weren't s3x workers? (i mean, idc because people can do what they want as consenting adults with their own bodies and if you enjoy making money using your body, more power to you). However, i don't think a lot of people who think LGBTQ+ s3x education is wrong also have a positive outlook on s3x work.

[@dietotaku]

@@user-uo9kf1sx5o they wish that was as scandalous as the bible got! one of the very first stories in the bible is a child who murders his brother out of jealousy. the same book that tells them "being gay is an abomination" also tells them not to wear mixed fibers or eat shellfish but if you rape a virgin, just toss a couple bucks to her father and marry her and you're all square. lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt because she looked over her shoulder. then lot's daughters get him drunk and rape him to impregnate themselves. all the firstborn of egypt are massacred. there's even INSTRUCTIONS on how to perform an ABORTION, so there goes that religious argument! if you presented any other book that was filled with rape, incest, murder, and abortion how-tos they would not only ban it from every library in the state, they'd try to have you burned at the stake for knowing it exists.

I remember learning it; but I only remember having to recite it once or twice for a few specific situations. I've always found it quite odd that it is a widespread thing for schools to do every day over the PA, and I went to public school for elementary and middle school so it wasn't like I was in a weird alternative school or anything.

[@searchingfororion]

There was a Supreme Court ruling back in the 2000's that determined public schools could not force nor penalize a student for not saying or standing for the pledge. Of course, like many things, lots of schools try to skirt around this *Federal law* (usually hoping people will be unaware of it and that it falls under first amendment protection). I however, felt it my patriotic duty to inform as many students in as many districts as possible as soon as it happened including the portion regarding penalties to schools who violated the ruling *immediately* after it occurred. I even made convenient print-outs. --- Two different states *loathed* me for it. (The feeling was mutual) Though they were rather powerless as when *my* school called in the parental unit "to talk" they were literally laughed at and reminded of my spotless record, honor student status, and that my test scores raised their average (and funding by proxy).

[@Skye_7_7]

@@searchingfororion 😂 Wow, that’s great. I’m glad it worked out that way, too. I was an honour student & raised their average, but some people still decided to hate me. I did have a problem with getting sick pretty often- with doctor’s notes (until I stopped being taken to the doctor because they didn’t feel like it, way later). Maybe that’s why- sounds dumb to me, though. They should’ve been able to put that together, I think. Point is; people find any excuse. Glad it worked out for the best, there.

[@hollierushby]

As a mother of teenagers in the UK, I was sent the LGBTQ+ and sex education syllabus from both the primary and secondary schools. All it teaches is that love comes in many forms. It teaches about the difference between sex and gender identity. In younger aged children, they only teach about relationship and what is a safe and healthy relationship. It definitely doesn't teach children or even teenagers about blow jobs or any oral sex. Yes, it teaches them how babies are conceived, safe sex, and STI and STDs. But that's it. My boys have always known that love comes in different forms. When I was on Hoilday me and hubby got talking to an American family who were disgusted about LGBTQ+ education in schools especially transgender kids. They truly believed that our kids were being forced to be gay and that these transgender children were having surgeries and being given hormones like sweets in the UK. It took a lot of convincing that that was a load of crap and that it takes years of specialist help to even get the hormones nevermind surgery and you have to be over 18 for it. As for the LGBTQ+ education they believed we were teaching our kids how gay/lesbian couples have sex and alsorts. I was shocked at their beliefs. Hopefully I was able to help them see the benefits of LGBTQ+ education in schools and how it is a positive.

[@quakey7727]

"Teaching kids 'conservative' values then when they are adults actually tell them being gay is just a thing that exists" is legitamently a horrible idea. I was literally raised like that and was a horribly homophoic and transphobic person and kind of a bully until late highschool because of it. What ALSO happened is I found out I was queer in highschool and because I wasn't educated about it being okay and not a choice I pretty much lived my life being full of fear due to my conservative family and what their teachings possibly meant for me if I was outted. Just teach kids about this stuff and that its okay and it will lead to more open and accepting kids period. What's the problem?????

[@muchomangotangos]

I grew up in a conservative church and I can say "values" I learned was so bad. And I was brainwashed since 4 when I finally had memories. Forcing your children to a old tradition kills the person's humanity.

[@binglemarie42]

2:39 When I was a kid in maybe 2nd grade, I asked to opt out of the pledge of allegiance every morning. My teacher told me it was illegal to refuse. I argued that the pledge was unconstitutional because it mentions God in a public school. She doubled down that I would be breaking the law if I didn't, so until I graduated high school I mouthed most of it and completely left out the "under God" part. Such a crock of 💩. I agree that it's cultish.

[@ayevee90]

As an American, the pledge of allegiance is absolutely creepy. I stopped saying it in middle school and I think we stopped all together in high school, thankfully.

I love when people quote "stats" (that they won't ever give you a citation for) while also misconstruing/making up their own conclusion of what those stats mean. More people are identifying as part of the LGBTQ+ than ever before? Hmm gee I wonder why that is.... Couldn't be because we have more exposure, more connection with the internet, and more safety to be ourselves. This man talking about how he's so influenceable- no one influenced me to be pan (they incentivized me not to be!) and no one influenced me to be trans (again, they definitely tried to incentivize me NOT to be). Every time I see people like this talking about how we the LGBTQ+ trick people into being 'confused' about themselves.... they can only talk about things that they themselves do. There's just this constant projection from people too scared and complacent to think for themselves.

[@hexonyou]

it is so hard to watch these people, I can't imagine how exhausting it is to have to go out and find this sort of content proactively.

[@susanlund967]

Well, there are more people in the world, therefore more gays. It's simple math, the percentages are there. How many people of earlier generations could admit they were gay? We probably had the same percentages. How many people have you heard of that divorced because one partner or the other decided to stop living a lie?

[@leizylromero]

Bringing up children is no longer a topic of lgbtq+ it’s a topic for pdf files. It’s so gross when heteros bring up children. No one wants to imagine children doing sexual acts except for pdf files. The only time kids should be brought up is during the topic of sex education. It’s important for kids to learn about it so they can recognize when they’re being abused at home and they can understand how diseases spread and how women/girls get pregnant. It also wouldn’t hurt to include sexual orientations and identities during sex education so children will be less ignorant adults.

[@stalemate9730]

I think by him saying "If a person is gay, you're eventually going to be gay", he meant that if someone CLOSE to you is gay, you'll ALSO become gay, like it's contagious?!?!?! Crazy lol.

Ramble, ramble. I'm a dyslexic, left-handed, trans, bisexual. No one told me that any of that was okay. They tried to make me right-handed but gave up. Technically I'm ambidextrous, but that made me choose one. I was very annoyed. I chose left to spite them. I didn't accept my bisexuality until I was 18. It took me until my 40s to accept that I'm trans. I never knew a transperson personally and I only had one gay (that I knew of) until I was 18. It would've been nice to know why I was pining over my female friends. It would also have been nice to know I was trans ,not just a "Tomboy ". Going through puberty was awful. Why do I have to grow boob's? If I had access to transgender care (not there was any), I wouldn't have hated myself and body so much.

[@Kasey.Walker]

Omg I remember singing hymns in school at assembly and it was so awkward. I was one of the rebels that wouldn't sing and just stand there, because I quite simply didn't want to. We also used to pray (or at least assume the prayer position) and I would be sat the whole time wondering what was I meant to be thinking or doing. Also I learned nothing about the LGBTQ community and the history of it, so trying to come to terms with being queer and trans was so difficult, as I didn't know anyone who was LGBTQ. Yay for being a 90s kid and where the majority of my school life being under Section 28.

4:30 that’s the thing. When people in America talk about putting God in schools, it IS about forcing religion upon children. I say this as someone who was forced to be catholic for 20 years of my life.

[@captmalingering]

Richard “Iceman” Kuklinski was a hitman/serial killer active in the ‘80’s who got the nickname by trying to obscure time of death of one of his victims by freezing the body. He did his work by compartmentalising his personality and by all accounts he also was a loving and doting father and husband. So Yeah, he was cold when needed, sure, but was complicated like most humans. He gave A LOT of interviews from prison before he died in 2006. I know too much about too many serial killers and their psychological profiles…it’s been a special interest since I was a small child.

My sister has autism and intellectual disability. She couldnt memorize the pledge of allegiance so she used to say, "i pledge allegiance to the flag, to the United States of America and to to the republic for which it stands 101 dalmations under god invisible with liberty and justice for all." So my sister pleadged to the invisible 101 dalmations.

In the 1970's in the USA it was required in school to say the pledge the allegiance. Prayer in school was based on where you lived and what the school policy was at the time.

I have been Asexual since middle far as i know. I didn’t know what Asexual was in middle school but i wrote a book and made the main character "independent." That was her sexuality. She didn’t want to be with anyone. She didn't want a relationship. She was independent! Now, I am 33 years old and still haven't had sex and I'm still terrified to. I'm independent aka Asexual and have been for a very long time. I'm proud of it too.

As an American, when I moved to the UK I was shocked to learn that there were no real rules for the UK flag. My entire life I was taught proper rules for folding the flag, how to hold it, how it cannot touch the ground. Never understood why though.

[@tefeckincraicen]

at 14 my sister joked with me for a day that I was her brother, and in that moment I decided I would grow up to be a man. I didn't know what a drag queen was. I didn't know about being trans. I devised a whole plan about running away and starting a secret life before I found an online blog about a 40yo trans woman a year later desperately googling why I felt the way I did a year later. I immediately came out to my friend and spent the next year reading fellow trans peoples stories. I publicly came out and wasn't accepted. If i gave a singular fuck what people though, I would have de transitioned. I'd rather be myself and alone than be someone else and accepted. I have bright acid piss green hair with hot pink sideburns. If I cared what people think I'd have buzzed natural coloured hair. I have a ton of piercings and tattoos. Not once have I thought to take them out because I get hate for it. I am gen z. I am 25. I have been "correctively" r*ped, still asexual, I've been bullied my whole life for literally everything, I am still me, and I will never let anyone else take that from me. I am fucking amazing.

What's funny about the argument of "influence" is that I grew up with a conservative father but a queer sibling 16 years my senior who I'd go spend weekends with often as I got older so very much also grew up in the LGBTQ+ community and thought I was cishet for 30+ years. Turns out I'm non binary and pan. I agree saying the pledge of allegiance is weird and culty, I've always felt that way. Also, for any young Americans reading this, you're not required to say the pledge, you don't even have to stand. They can't force you to do it and you are legally allowed to not participate. If a teacher tries to force you, take it to the top.

[@IloveaxolotlsOwo]

let me tell you something, when I was in the 5th grade I had no idea what gay meant, but I knew something was up when I started liking more than one gender.

[@KillJoy_Since2017]

Yeah your right , pledging to the the US flag is kinda weird . I’ve figured it was so we can be reminded what happened so long ago and why we’re free or something. And you’re right roly not every school should be about prayer , I went to a Christian school for a while and they taught Bible study here and there , we had chapel on Friday but it was only for a short period of time during the day. At my school they didn’t shove it down our throats , it was more like this is who god is and memorize this verse . We had regular lessons like any other school. Having any religion in school is only a problem when your shoving it down someone’s throat.

[@freyaf6637]

10:01 I find this notion hilarious, mostly because I was a Christian until I was 13. I went to every church event and I slowly realized, I Hated Bible study and Sunday school. By the time I was 9 I knew I liked girls, but because my mom taught me right I didn't know it was "wrong". I didn't even know what the word "gay" was until I was 14, because I looked my feelings up myself. ❤Thank you rolly, keep encouraging people to be themselves ❤

So is that guy trying to say he's only straight because he was influenced to be... so does that mean he really doesn't want that and is actually gay?

[@elaexplorer]

Oh no he's saying the default is straight and nobody is not straight without an outside force making it so.

[@ActuallyDoubleGuitars]

@@elaexplorer But if you think about how he explains it, it sounds like you can be influenced any which way. So if gay people are influenced to be gay then straight people are also influenced but in reality that makes some of them them gay. It's just what he is saying that he thinks you can be influenced to be anything. I know the guy didn't make sense in much if this, so shouldn't try to understand it but clearly it shows that's how weak his arguments are.

Sorry, boys. Internet Uncle-Gay🏳‍🌈 loves seeing the two of you, but I can't watch this video. I came out in the 1990s. I lived in Colorado when the Christian Taliban got the state constitution amended to make gays, lesbians, and bisexuals second-class citizens. The Supreme Court struck it down in 1996. The current Supreme Court? Yeah they would've upheld it. All of those trans-bans racing through the US? They look _awfully familiar_ to this old Uncle-Gay🏳‍🌈. Plus, Internet Uncle-Gay🏳‍🌈 had a heart-attack last week [needed 4 stents to clear the blockage], and needs to keep calm.

I paused the video, my curiosity got the better of me, and I googled the Iceman. "He was born this way", according to wiki, isn't even the case in that film - the summary provides a good reason why. So his argument, whatever the f that was in the first place, falls short. This gotta be some form of projection.... I love you guys! Been watching on and off for a few years now, and since discovered my own identity (transman, gay). Stuff like this gives me headaches and makes me laugh at the same time xD

[@borealernadelwald]

I only figured out that I'm aroace & agender a few years ago in my early thirties, because I learned about those identities and vibed with them. And as soon as I realised that I am those things, so much of my past suddenly made sense. Weird interactions I had with allos that confused me and my (subconscious) disconnection with my gender. I've been aroace & agender all my life, but only when learning that they are even a thing made it possible to give myself those labels. Finding out that I'm not just some oddly broken person, but a nuance of the human experience was incredibly freeing and there was a huge weight falling off my shoulders I didn't even know I was carrying around. If I hadn't stumbled into the lgbtq+ community (mostly through memes with One Topic, then Jamie & Shaaba and then Roly and last but not least Luxeria) I would still be a lot more miserable and confused than I already am.
