UC Davis condemns video of employee yelling at drag performers in Hawaii hotel lobby

In the video, activist Beth Bourne can be seen yelling at the performers, prompting Hawaii's governor and UC Davis to speak out.

Watch a longer clip of the interaction. She has first amendment rights, but she was shreiking and acting like an uncontrollable child, making OTHER hotel guests uncomfortable. Then she made several Twitter posts directed at UC Davis complaining about this issue and other policies. They were pretty childish, too. She may keep her job, but I'd lose all confidence in her as an instructor after seeing all that. And it appears she's taunting the administration at UC Davis, too. Big fail. If she REALLY cared about her own kids so much, she could have just talked to the manager and then checked into a different hotel. Without all the drama and clickbait. I wonder how her kids feel about seeing their mom shreiking all over social media. If her job is jeopardized, no sympathy here.

I saw on another youtube that the woman's own son is transgender. He is out of the house it said. Can you imagine living with a mother like that?

[@mandalorehamster]

Davis is for everyone. It troubles me that there is this much hate especially from someone who claims to be “for liberty” but yells at people for expressing their liberty to express themselves. That’s what freedom of speech is for so these bigots in our community can out themselves so people know to avoid them.

[@drowe2]

Freedom of speech works both ways

[@foxykins]

@@heudu7h3brudi Being intolerant of intolerance is a virtue, but nobody is telling her that she isn't allowed to have whatever ignorant views she wants. The problem is when she is filming and harassing others when she could have just kept her stupid mouth shut. She decided to eff around, though, and now has moved on to the finding out part. But if you think that aggressive harassment is a simple "disagreement," you should reassess your values.

[@skylarkphillips744]

@@foxykins The main goal of a university should be fostering critical thinking skills not blindly pushing a biased political agenda. She is right about the medical transitioning of children, and European countries such as Sweden, Finland, and England have done the research. What essentially amounts to a medical experiment of children has been going on for years. Children are being sterilized with GnRH analogues and hormones, and in states like California 13 and 14 year old girls are getting mastectomies. The Chancellor and his sycophant employees gleefully go about their business of pushing their political agenda.

1:21 Her defence is that she has a right to have her own personal views - but at the same time will take out a camera and try to get random people kicked out of a hotel because she doesn't like their personal views. Conservative hypocrisy as usual: She believes that she has the freedom to express herself, but when someone else expresses themselves in a way that she disapproves, she tries to take that freedom away from them.

[@ajl577]

What you describe is basically cognitive dissonance. So, while we may point the finger at ones political alignment, it likely precedes their political views. She was already probably a very hateful and intolerant person before all this. I understand her desire to be what she perceives as a good parent, but that idea is very subjective. It's funny how simply and concisely you put it, so that it should be easy to understand. The real litmus test, though, is being aware that something is wrong but not caring and doing it anyway, the problem is that someone like that believes they're right 💀💀💀 (but don't we all😅....*sigh* just one big war of perspectives) its just that some of us recognize that we ought not to justify hurting others in the name of our beliefs.

You can do whatever you want in your personal time,BUT a video of her aggressively harassing people just sitting there minding their business. If the she has values that don’t align with the college and it’s on display to this manner, then they SHOULD fire her. Especially since she’s a well-known figure at the college. A video going viral of her harassing someone is extremely unprofessional and very naïve for a university staff. There’s a difference between disagreeing with someone’s lifestyle or values and minding your business and coming up to them yelling and screaming at them, even though they were minding their business. Harassment is harassment. And if she does this off-campus, I only wonder what she says to students on campus where there isn’t a camera.

[@skylarkphillips744]

Did you see what trans activists and their Antifa buddies did to the campus about a year ago when Charlie Kirk tried to speak on campus. Raging, screaming, trans activists, Antifa, broke windows and destroyed campus property. There is a LONG history of trans activists physically preventing women from speaking through intimidation and drowning out their voices through loud noise. Trans activists have assaulted women in Portland, Oregon, Tacoma, Washington, New Zealand, and the UK. Antifa has destroyed property, and has been convicted of assaulting conservative journalists such as Andy Ngo.

[@WhitExNoodlE]

It may be a choice to do drag, but it is not a choice if you are transgender. This should be treated as prejudice and discriminatory behavior. If she was attacking them for their race she would totally be fired. I don’t see this as very different.

[@loulou21-y5t]

If you read her story, it starts with her child who now identifies as them/they. Beth has contradicted herself so much, previously stating she has no problem with the LGBT community, as long as children are not medically changed, either by surgery or pharmaceuticals. But her recent actions do not support her expressed tolerance of LGBT. She has crossed the line. My personal opinion is that she feels she “lost “ her child. She wants to assign blame, when there is no blame! I feel extremely sorry for her child (who is now in college).
