A poem by Kahlil Gibran titled, On Children:

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

"I love my religion more than I love my child" this is the heart of why Christianity is a child sacrifice religion.

I always love a pride month special. Happy pride forever, y'all!

Allen Parr does my head in

Can we appreciate that sweet big cat you have? This is so adorable!!!

“I’m out. I’m gay. I’m LGBTQ.” Said no one ever. 😂

binge-watched some of your work recently, even though I am on the other side of the planet and raised a Muslim. This video is relevant to me.

A good half of your content unfortunately applies to (but can help!) people raised in an Islamic context. The doctrinal core is often quite similar and the differences are important to learn. It's simply not morally acceptable to talk about our faith like this and in some places it would not legal.

some of your videos could be translated into Urdu and function perfectly well to a completely unintended audience. I don't know how to feel! Thankyou sir.

I don't blame for kicking the puppet, especially the scary one who has traumatized more than a few children in his day

Just came out as not gay, but "someone who despises the ways of God" by listening to Satanic music (Mother Mother)

Who wanna bet that I would get abandon or nah

If someone ever again tells me or suggests to me that I should be celibate, I'm going to ask them how many times that they've told it to a straight person

Clearly Mike winger doesnr actually like cats. Liking cats and having a cat is a fucking identity. I went from not liking cats fo having a mother fucking tattoo of the little bastard on my arm. If i can feel strongly enough about being a cat dad to permanently enshrine the love of my cat on my arm, sexual preference is 100% a core component of identity.

Yes, I do rant..I won't apologize for that.

this societal stigma is so deeply entrenched that i haven’t come out to any of my family despite not having any concrete reason to expect a negative response

I agree with these Christians; being gay is not someone's entire personality. But after they find out their child is gay, that is generally all they fixate on, to the point where they kick them out of their own house.

As someone who came out to her parents about half a year ago and is still dealing with the aftermath, I really appreciate your content. Thanks for helping me not feel so alone.

Thank you, Trevor. Words cannot express how grateful I am for channels like yours speaking to and about me with sensitivity, gravitas, and compassion. It means so much. Thank you.


P. S. I've been following for a long time. What is the "work work work sky moon" bit in thw outro about?

I really enjoy your videos and have watched them for a long time, almost nightly. I’m a trans lesbian and I don’t really have support in my family or many in the Bible Belt region where I live. You really help me feel seen and know that I’m valid. I’ve already sort of told my mother about myself, though not directly, and she says that she still “loves” me even though she chooses not to change a thing in her behavior towards deadnaming me or using the correct pronouns. It’s already been over five years in contemplation and hiding, trying out clothes at friend’s houses and testing names. I am deep in my beliefs about myself and I’m pretty tired of not being able to be comfortable in my own skin, especially in my own house. First, I started backing out of Christianity for small things like not agreeing with scripture encouraging slavery or violence towards marginalized groups, which my parents could barely handle, and now that I’m mostly past that, I’ve decided I’ve got to do something soon. I’m about to give my parents an ultimatum or just a serious conversation on this. If they can’t accept who I am, they just aren’t going to be my close and loving parents, right? I can’t just be complacent in how they treat me, purposely neglecting me for fear of rejection from the people around them or fear of giving into sin, right? I can’t let them openly shun me for being myself to show my siblings how to act “right”?Unfortunately, I’m not in a stable position to be kicked out and be independent, yet I’m still about ready to just go off on them. Like, would they rather me die or finally love me unconditionally? Anybody know how I should respectfully, yet strongly go about it? Sorry for the essay of a comment. Again, love this channel and how you continue to support the community and anyone being put under pressure by Christianity or people who use it as a weapon, really appreciate it. ❤🏳️‍⚧️

The hate is around sex. Being obsessed with who is fucking who and hating them because they have sex with people you think they shouldn't be having sex with is a very sick and disturbing

One thing I’ve always appreciated about your channel is the wide swath of pastors you use as examples, especially on this topic. It’s very easy to say that this kind of bigotry is only spewed by a few pastors, or by a specific kind of fundamentalism, but showing this many people with this much sway within Christianity shows that this kind of hate is not only common, but normalized. It’s the undercurrent of the faith, whether people want to accept that or not.

Tell Jagger he is a good boy. He deserves it. 😊

"a holy war like the Muslims" What about the crusades?

YOU ARENT LIVING THE WAY I WANT YOU TO AND ITS DISGUSTING 😡😡😡. But we love you 😚. That's called fake love, no way around it

Great video Trevor!
I wish parents realized that real love doesn't say 'I love you... but'. Love shouldn't have to come with conditions. When parents say they agree to disagree over accepting you it's not the same as disagreeing over pineapples on pizza, it's a matter of parental duty to accept their child for who they are. Sometimes casual homophobia can be just as destructive as blatant homophobia. Loving the sinner and hating the sin just leads to queer people feeling that they are sinners just for expressing their true selves in an honest and proud way. Remember, if you believe that God created you, then he created all parts of you, including the queer parts. Stay proud, stay loud, and continue to love.

🌈Happy Pride Month!🌈

I know it’s only five minutes into the video, but when you said “every word you say about a gay or trans person out there, they are hearing about themselves” I immediately cried.

For me, this intersects with “man I wish I had come out and started transitioning earlier, why didn’t I?”

Well there you have it. My parents had no IDEA they were talking about me, and both of my siblings when they said the things they said

When I was a Christian, not too long after the the second of my children had come out, I was told by a family member I should put my kid out.. But I had known a friend when I was a teen whose parents had put her out. I realized, no matter what, at least short of them murdering someone, I'm their ride or die. Not long after, my oldest brought home a friend whose mom had thrown her out.

All this to say if you love being a mother and you're the parent of a gay kid, keep your arms open and some extra food in the pantry. Your kids will bring him their friends who are gonna need you. You'll have so many kids.

Love them well.

im a disabled trans man, birthday is coming up in a few days and ill be turning 27. i still live w my transphobic christian parents (they chose the double-down route and refuse to challenge their beliefs) and its been a neverending living hell. i finally scheduled my first hrt appointment a couple weeks ago tho and im ready to face the consequences to be who i am, even if that means getting kicked out. this video was very cathartic, thank you

Ryan Visconti should do one about left handed people now...

"A really good article on Focus on the Family"..😂 There has never been a truthful article by Focus on the Family.

I'm aroace, an agender/enby entity, and had suffered from ideations since I was a very young adult... not because I wasn't cishet. Turned out the source of my problems had been the unaccepting genetic donor who I could never confide about my queerness because he repeatedly blasted homophobic and transphobic right-wing media throughout the house, and that desire to drink windex and disappear in my nearest national park disappeared after he died from lung cancer

My coming out story is a pretty familiar one. Mom catches me making out with a guy in my room, she kicks me out saying she doesn't accept me. Difference is that my mom eventually did accept me. Relatively soon after too. Like 2 years later. Those 2 years... were hell. I had to stay with my stepdad who I hated. Picked up an opiate addiction to get thru working 2 jobs. Dropped out of school. And before someone insinuates that all that happened was becuz I was queer, it wasn't. It was becuz I was depressed! My mom abandoned me and I had no idea she would react this way. My mom has never been like these bigoted Christian conservative cranks, and I was just tossed out onto the street at 19. This is the reason coming out is so terrifying. We have always been marginalized and relegated to the fringes of society for just being ourselves. And even tho my story ended relatively happily, you know, I was allowed back in the house, I went back to school. Had to kick an opiate addiction which wasn't fun, but I made it to the other side. Many of these stories don't end happily. Some end in the worst way possible. Sure, my mom came around and is now just one of the most lgbtq affirming parents you'll ever find, that entire experience could have been sidestepped if my mom just affirmed me in the first place.

I am glad that american protestant or evangelical christians are split up in oh so many denominations, just imagining them rallying and claiming to have the universal truth, like Catholics and launching the newest crusade, gives me chills.
And for any parent out there; the easiest definition of love is just wanting people to be in your life, reevaluating your religious beliefs shouldn't feel like a betrayal if the relationship with God is to be personal, sola scriptura is the most unpersonal realtionship you could have with God.
Denying the love you feel for your children whether gay or not, is the worst betrayal of all. Denying yourself and your children, there is no grace in that.

choosing to be a horrible person “omG PeoPle HaTe mE BecAuSe I LoVe gOd”

my mom saw the progress flag in my room and ranted abt how trans ppl aren’t real and demanded to know if me or my friends had been SA’d (in way worse terms). like, in the most horribly uncaring, as-an-insult way. it wasn’t a shock but I was pissed bc what if that had happened and that was her response? mind you, I’m 24 and never actually officially came out so she’s just hoping one will stick I guess. For sure validated me in the sense of knowing exactly how she’d react - right up to pretending she didn’t say the worst things anyone’s ever said to me! lol
ngl this video was a bit triggering bc of all the horrible parents who said very similar things. it feels more annoying in a way because while she grew up catholic, as long as i’ve been alive she’s never gone to mass, so like,,, it’s mostly her choosing random facebook conspiracies + fake outrage over me vs any idea of “loving god more” (barf).
thank you for this video <3. it always hits harder when it’s a “former gay” perpetuating these people’s worldview, ugh.

I remember coming out to my Catholic mother as bisexual after I got caught reading gay fanfic in high school. I was a sophomore, and I got in trouble for reading gay male romances on Wattpad late at night (you know the drill, normal teenage hormones, got caught on my phone when I was supposed to be asleep, all that jazz). When she asked me why I felt compelled to read gay media, I didn’t have a good enough answer besides “I just like it”. Stupidly, I came out to her in a panic, hoping it would explain my inclination to read queer pairings. In my teenage mind, if I was a bi girl, then that would somehow magically explain my draw to mlm romance. Sponge + starfish = clam kinda situation lol.

She didn’t accept that, and she also didn’t believe me. She told me that I was “confused” and “being influenced by kids at school”. I didn’t even fight it, because I knew no amount of insisting would change her mind. I had all my electronics taken away for a full calendar year. No phone, no laptop, nothing. I guess it was my parents way of separating me from the gay community, that I would somehow magically stop being bi if I couldn’t read my favorite fictional pairings. It didn’t stop me, of course. I was still bi, except now I felt guilty about it and had to hide it away. I beat myself up for years, tried to convince myself I was a straight girl so I wouldn’t be a disappointment to my parents and God. My depression got worse, because I felt like I was damned for eternity and my parents would never see me the same. When I finally told them I was sorry and that I really wasn’t bi, things went back to “normal”.

Years later, I graduated, went through a couple straight relationships and started questioning my gender identity. I did like men, and I was kind of attracted to women, but not as much as I thought. I wondered if my parents were right, that maybe I was negatively influenced by “the gay agenda” and I was confused. I later realized I was a gay trans dude. All the gay fanfic consumption made sense, because when I was reading it I was wishing I had a connection like that as a man with another man. All the times I hated the sound of my name, being called a girl or she, having to present femininely, hating my body when I hit puberty. It all made sense and it was such a relief to discover that about myself. I came out to some very close friends who accepted me immediately, helped me figure out a name that suited me and my newfound identity, and my attraction wasn’t something I felt guilty about because now I understood and accepted myself.

Unfortunately, I will probably never come out to my parents, not until I’ve at least started to physically transition. I already wanted to in the beginning, I want to look masculine and sound masculine. I’m not transitioning for them, and I’m not obligated to transition fully just to convince them that I’m a real man. But I fear if I tell them now before any HRT or surgery, I’ll get the same response I got the first time I came out; “You’re just confused.”

Christian parents like to play victim and say that their kids coming out as gay or bi or trans or nonbinary is so hard and life ruining. For my mom, learning I was questioning my sexuality was a minor upset that has since never been spoken about. For me, being put down and told I didn’t even know what I was feeling nearly drove me to the edge. If it wasn’t for my friends and the hope for a brighter future for myself, I may not even have lived this long.

I’m so grateful for content like this, because it’s helped me get over some of that residual Catholic guilt. Even years after I privately left the faith, I still have those lingering doubts of damnation and losing the love of my family. The good thing is that I have a solid group of friends that I consider family than my own. I may never come out to my parents, not until I’m stable financially and happy with my body. But this gives me hope that someday maybe I can, and maybe they’ll accept me instead of invalidating my feelings. Until then, I’m gonna keep reading and writing my gay little fanfics lol

For over a millenia, Christians thought they actually were being called to fight a holy war. It's generally referred to as the Crusades.

Also, that verse about how Jesus came not to bring peace, but a sword, is completely contradicted by the one about beating swords into plowshares. You really can find support for ANY belief somewhere in the Bible, if you're willing to grab a basket and go cherry-picking.

Another thing is that I absolutely hate the way that "LGBTQIA+" is used by these people. You can't "be" LGBTQIA+, you identify with a single letter of it. It's an acronym (sort of) and an adjective, not a noun.

"like the Muslims".

They totally want to act like Israel right here in the US. In a very sense that's part of our problem.

I forget you’re Canadian sometimes and then I hear “gen zed” and I just smile knowingly
