Saying the name “JoJo Siwa” in 2017 conjured images of a smiling girl with a high blonde ponytail and brightly colored, oversized hair bows. Saying the same name in 2024 brings to mind a slightly more feminine version of KISS frontman Gene Simmons.
It’s true that all kids have to grow up. Siwa, like so many child stars who came before her, was destined to shed her sweet and innocent pre-teen idol image for something edgier as she matured. But Siwa’s transformation is so extreme, and so abrupt, that it demands explanation.
Siwa, who was born in 2003, shot to fame as a young performer on the Lifetime reality series “Dance Moms.” The Omaha, Nebraska, native appeared on two seasons of the show in 2015 and 2016. However, Siwa was not destined for mere reality star fame.

The aspiring singer released two singles, &#8220;Boomerang&#8221; and &#8220;I Can Make U Dance,&#8221; in 2016 and watched the music video views rack up. Siwa was named the Breakout Artist of the Year by Vivid Seats in 2018. This prompted her to announce she was embarking on “D.R.E.A.M. The Tour” in 2019.
Besides just singing, the young celeb became a national sensation thanks to clever branding and marketing. One school in the U.K. tried to ban the massively popular, oversized hair bows sold under Siwa’s brand name because they were so popular that educators deemed them “distracting.”
&#8220;I&#8217;ve always just worn bows&#8221; the singer <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39140210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CBBC&#8217;s Newsround in 2017 of the international trend. &#8220;They just got bigger and better and sparklier &#8211; and then I became &#8216;JoJo with the bow bow&#8217; and it became a thing,&#8221; she added.
Later, Siwa said the bows were &#8220;more than just a hair accessory.” She said they were also “a symbol of power, confidence, believing-ness.&#8221;
The brand is still sold at major retailers such as Claire’s, Justice, Walmart, and Target.

It wasn’t just bows, either. Siwa’s merch started popping up everywhere as young kids emulated her look and sang along to the bubblegum pop lyrics of Siwa’s upbeat song catalog. With titles like, “Every Girl’s a Supergirl,” “Kid in a Candy Store,” “High Top Shoes,” and “Bop!,” it’s easy to see exactly who the YouTube star was marketing to. There were leagues of JoJo Siwa devotees, fan club members, and YouTube subscribers. Most were in the highly impressionable pre-teen demographic.
The change in Siwa was both gradual and all at once. One of the most pivotal moments in her image change happened in January 2021 when she came out as LGBTQ. Siwa alerted fans by posting a photo of herself wearing a shirt that said, “Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.” She later clarified that her sexual attraction didn’t align with any strict labels and if anything, she was “pansexual.”
“I always believed that my person was just going to be my person,” she said at the time, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-comes-out-as-lgbtq-identifies-as-neither-gay-nor-straight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. “And if that person happened to be a boy, great, and if that person happened to be a girl, great!”
“I think humans are awesome, I think humans are really incredible people. Right now, I’m super duper happy and I want to share everything with the world but I also want to keep things in my life private until they are ready to be public. Right now what matters is that you guys know that no matter who you love, that it’s OK. It’s awesome and the world is there for you,” Siwa continued.
<div id="attachment_725275" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-725275" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-725275" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/04/GettyImages-1401454243-864x576.jpg" alt="WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 05: WeHo Pride's Next Gen Icon JoJo Siwa rides in the city of West Hollywood's Pride Parade on June 05, 2022 in West Hollywood, California.

The former child star went public with two romantic relationships with women shortly after.
While many followers were critical of Siwa for becoming a vocal LGBTQ advocate, others championed the move. But the pop singer’s most shocking and controversial transformation was still to come.
On April 2, the YouTube star debuted a drastically different look at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, explaining that she was evolving to cater to an older audience. Siwa dressed in all black with a revealing cut-out mesh bodysuit, combat boots, dramatic black eye makeup, and a faux mohawk.
The singer said it was the same outfit she wore while recording her new music video for the single “Karma.”

The former &#8220;Dance Moms&#8221; star had already showed off her brand overhaul on March 5 by uploading a series of behind-the-scenes photos from dance rehearsals for her upcoming single release, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-defends-her-black-beast-look-says-respected-stars-like-lil-nas-x-called-it-so-right" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
The captions from the nine posts formed a message that read, “See you in one month. Remember Karma’s a b****.”
“This is my ‘KARMA,’ black beast look,” Siwa <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1398587/jojo-siwa-pushes-back-on-criticism-of-her-adult-era-while-debuting-dramatic-all-black-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during a red carpet interview with E! News at the iHeartMusic Awards. “It’s got some rips in it, but you’d never know.”
When asked how she’s responding to backlash for her new, more provocative look, Siwa said, “People are afraid of things they don’t know. Things can be scary for people. New things can be very, very scary.”
She added, “The way that I’m able to keep going and keep being like, ‘Wait, actually what I’m doing is right,’ is because some of the most respected people in the world have come up to me and been like, ‘What you’re doing right now is so right. It is what the world needs, and I’m learning from what you are doing right now.&#8217;”
She mentioned rapper Lil Nas X and Meghan Trainor as two individuals who had vocalized their support for her new image. “Support from people like that means the world to me,” Siwa boasted.
The singer made it very clear that her new content was not for a younger audience. She teased the release of her latest single in March with a series of Instagram posts, writing:
<blockquote>Warning. The following content is not made for children and may be disturbing or offensive to some viewers. May contain sexual themes, violence, strong language, traumatic scenarios, and flashing lights. Viewer discretion is advised.</blockquote>
The “Karma” music video now has more than <a href="https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=VZIm_2MgdeA&amp;list=PL4fGSI1pDJn5kI81J1fYWK5eZRl1zJ5kM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24 million views</a> on YouTube.
Gone are the days of songs about high top shoes. “I was a bad girl / I did some bad things,” the single opens. 
The chorus continues with more of the same message. “Karma’s a b****, I should’ve known better / If I had a wish, I would’ve never effed around / When I saw the pics of you and her, I fеlt the knife twist /  Karma’s a b****, and she’s with you right now.”
&#8220;I wanted it to be as bold and as ballsy as possible. There is nothing more ballsy than this song,” the 20-year-old said during a Billboard <a href="https://www.billboard.com/video/jojo-siwa-billboard-news-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> about the song. 
“The genre is — I said it back in the day when I first signed with Columbia. I said, ‘I want to start a new genre of music.’ And they said, ‘What do you mean?’ And I said well, ‘It’s called gay pop.’”
<div id="attachment_725277" style="width: 394px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-725277" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-725277" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/04/GettyImages-2085137154-384x576.jpg" alt="BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 14: JoJo Siwa attends the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton on March 14, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California.

Siwa names fellow former child star Miley Cyrus as her biggest inspiration.
“It’s no secret that my transition is heavily inspired by Miley Cyrus, of course,” she said. Siwa mentioned when Cyrus made headlines for her provocative Video Music Awards performance with Robin Thicke in 2013.
“Like it or not, everyone knows that moment and I think that that made such an impact,” Siwa said. “I think every child star has made their impact in some which way becoming an adult star. But Miley’s flip, Miley’s switch, Miley’s turn was the greatest thing I’ve witnessed with my own two eyes.”
Like it or not, parents of young fans need to realize that Siwa has traded in big hair bows for sexual innuendo. And it doesn’t look like she’s going back.

Things got out of hand over the weekend at the annual film festival in Brussels — specifically at the premiere of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kristen-stewart-claims-twilight-is-such-a-gay-movie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristen Stewart</a>’s new lesbian movie “Love Lies Bleeding” — resulting in both verbal and physical altercations.
During the screening of the thriller at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFFF) attendees said that &#8220;lesbophobic&#8221; and &#8220;toxic&#8221; comments were thrown at the screen in the divided theater, ending in a walkout protest by dozens of &#8220;queer&#8221; audience members, <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/global/love-lies-bleeding-brussels-bifff-homophobia-kristen-stewart-1235970906/">Variety</a> magazine reported.
&#8220;Things spun wildly out of hand,&#8221; attendee Elina Fischer said, calling her experience &#8220;traumatic and horrible.&#8221;
&#8220;We were afraid for our lives, because the kinds of people who say such things during a film screening are the kinds of people who assault us,&#8221; she added. &#8220;So we got scared and had to get out.&#8221;

&#8220;Once we stood up, we started hearing insults directed at us,&#8221; another attendee told the outlet. &#8220;It became something much nastier. Violent. We were overwhelmed, crying and we said to each other that this wasn&#8217;t normal.&#8221;
&#8220;We shouted so that they could hear us inside too, to spoil their experience of the film a bit, just as they had spoiled ours,&#8221; the person added, about the shouting from the movie lobby by those who walked out.
In a longer statement shared with the outlet, the attendees said, &#8220;We know the difference between standard jokes and lesbophobic insults and commentary.&#8221;
&#8220;When audience members applaud during [what we feel to be] a rape scene, when they pantomime masturbation and catcall the actresses on screen by shouting &#8216;get naked,&#8217; &#8216;she wants c**k,&#8217; &#8216;disgusting,&#8217; and &#8216;dirty dykes&#8217; at the slightest scene of lesbian intimacy, once spectators stand up to leave the theater or ask for respect, only to be booed, insulted and physically assaulted, and once dozens of lesbians leave the theater in tears, dirtied, degraded and shocked, we can&#8217;t speak of a &#8216;good-natured&#8217; atmosphere,&#8221; the statement added.
BIFFF press chief Jonathan Lenaerts confirmed police were called out to deal with the altercations and walkouts during the premiere, adding, &#8220;10 people out of 1,400 is already 10 too many.&#8221;
&#8220;We had programmed this film specifically because it touched on the LGBT community. We thought it was great that [this kind of] fantasy filmmaking was also opening to this community, giving us the perfect opportunity to welcome a new audience to our festival,&#8221; Lenaerts said of the festival that typically attracted a male, geeky type audience, per the outlet. 
&#8220;We have a duty to contextualize,&#8221; he added. &#8220;To make sure that all communities feel welcome and on the same footing. The humor in the room should never be targeted and mean spirited, and all exceptions are intolerable.&#8221;
Later, BIFFF released a statement calling the previous evening&#8217;s events &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and issued an apology to the audience for &#8220;discriminatory remarks against any community.&#8221;

“Harry Potter” creator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling">J.K. Rowling</a> indicated that she would not forgive the actors who starred in the film adaptations of her best-selling book series for their comments in favor of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">trans rights</a>.”
The 58-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">author</a> has become an outspoken critic of the radical trans agenda, specifically as it relates to women being protected in society.
Most recently, Rowling <a href="https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1778105223728255439">shared</a> her concerns about the medical transitioning of children who believed they were transgender by posting a lengthy thread on X. 
One of Rowling’s followers responded to the thread, writing, &#8220;Just waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology &#8230; safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them &#8230; &#8220;
Rowling <a href="https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1778124467027267804">replied</a>, &#8220;Not safe, I&#8217;m afraid. Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women&#8217;s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces.&#8221;
“Harry Potter” stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson publicly denounced Rowling’s views after several of her tweets went viral in 2020.
Rowling also <a href="https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/">posted</a> an essay to her website in June 2020, saying in part, &#8220;I refuse to bow down to a movement that I believe is doing demonstrable harm in seeking to erode &#8216;woman&#8217; as a political and biological class and offering cover to predators like few before it.&#8221;
Around the same time as Rowling&#8217;s comment, Watson, who played the character Hermione in the film franchise, <a href="https://twitter.com/EmmaWatson/status/1270826851070619649?lang=en">posted</a> on her own social media that &#8220;Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1712932862202000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0plT8RRdMy9XUpIhocnjQS">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
&#8220;I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the world see you, respect you and love you for who you are,&#8221; Watson added.
Radcliffe expressed similar sentiments in 2020 after the comments went viral. “Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional healthcare associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo [Rowling] or [me],” the actor said at the time in a lengthy <a href="https://www.thetrevorproject.org/blog/daniel-radcliffe-responds-to-j-k-rowlings-tweets-on-gender-identity/">essay</a>.
“To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you. I really hope that you don’t entirely lose what was valuable in these stories to you.”
Radcliffe specifically voiced his support for trans youth transitioning while moderating an episode of “Sharing Spaces,” a roundtable series produced by the activist organization The Trevor Project.
“There are some people in the world who are not trying to engage with this conversation in any kind of good faith. I think a lot of the time it’s just ’cause people don’t know a young trans person,” Radcliffe said, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harry-potter-actor-daniel-radcliffe-insists-trans-youth-can-tell-us-who-they-are">reported</a>.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">Trans activist</a> and “Euphoria” star Hunter Schafer is no longer interested in playing trans characters on screen, per a new interview with <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/hunter-schafer-creativity-awards-profile">GQ</a>.
The 25-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">celeb</a> is best known for playing the trans character Jules on the hit HBO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">drama series</a> &#8220;Euphoria.&#8221; But now, Schafer is ready to try different roles and not have “trans” be the main topic of conversation for every interview. 
“It has not just happened naturally by any means. If I let it happen, it would still be giving ‘Transsexual Actress’ before every article ever,” Schafer said, mentioning avoiding the word “trans” while giving interviews now. 
“As soon as I say it, it gets blastoff,” Schafer added. “It took a while to learn that and it also took a while to learn that I don’t want to be [reduced to] that, and I find it ultimately demeaning to me and what I want to do. Especially after high school, I was sick of talking about it. I worked so hard to get to where I am, past these really hard points in my transition, and now I just want to be a girl and finally move on.&#8221;
“It’s a privilege, but it’s been very intentional,” the “Euphoria” star continued. “I’ve gotten offered tons of trans roles, and I just don’t want to do it. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Schafer talked about having more responsibility due to fame.
“I know for a fact that I’m one of the most famous trans people in media right now, and I do feel a sense of responsibility, and maybe a little bit of guilt, for not being more of a spokesperson,” Schafer told the outlet. “But ultimately, I really do believe that not making it the centerpiece to what I’m doing will allow me to get further. And I think getting further and doing awesome sh**, in the interest of ‘the movement,’ will be way more helpful than talking about it all the time.”
Unlike other trans-identifying celebrities, Schafer said it doesn’t matter what other people say.

“I’ve kind of lost interest in achieving some sort of utopia,” the “Euphoria” star told GQ. “I am totally cool with people hating me for being trans or calling me a man. I am not interested in trying to convince them anymore. As long as you’re staying in your lane—work. Work! Do that. And I’m going to be over here with people I love.”

Trans-Identifying ‘Euphoria’ Star No Longer Interested In Playing Trans Parts: ‘I Find It Ultimately Demeaning’

Trans-Identifying 'Euphoria' Star No Longer Interested In Playing Trans Parts: 'I Find It Ultimately Demeaning'

Actor James Woods voiced his frustration on Sunday over a White House calendar that was quickly filling up with days, weeks, and even entire months dedicated to all or part of the LGBTQ community: &#8220;America now officially celebrates mental illness a full one third of the calendar year.&#8221;
Woods initially responded to President Joe Biden and his administration&#8217;s decision to go ahead with the Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31, despite the fact that this year, Easter Sunday fell on the same date.
&#8220;Joseph Biden ridicules Christians on our holiest of holidays&#8230;,&#8221; Woods posted, sharing a screenshot of the White House proclamation — issued on Good Friday even as Christians were commemorating the death of Jesus on the cross — calling on all Americans to join him in &#8220;lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people&#8221; on the 31st: Easter Sunday.

Woods delivered one more follow-up after posting the list, noting that approximately one-third of the year — almost exactly four months — was filled with similar days, weeks, and full months celebrating the LGBTQ community in some form or fashion.
&#8220;America now officially celebrates mental illness a full one third of the calendar year. If leftists have their way, it&#8217;ll be every day. And slowly but surely they are getting there&#8230;,&#8221; he said.

Easter

James Woods

Joe Biden

As they&#8217;ve done for thousands of years, Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Sunday. 
All over the world, the faithful gathered to celebrate the joyous news: that the Messiah died and rose from the grave, for the salvation of mankind. This is the central fact of our faith, and the reason why Easter is our most sacred holiday.
At the same time, a cult that was invented mere decades ago — and which opposes everything Christianity stands for — was holding its own observances on Sunday. In a deliberate attempt to mock the very idea of Easter, they celebrated something called the &#8220;Transgender Day Of Visibility.&#8221; Joe Biden, who claims to be a Catholic, ushered in the festivities with a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presidential proclamation</a> that can only be described as not only blasphemous, but also completely counterfactual. It&#8217;s not overstating things to say that this proclamation document underscores, once again, that the Biden administration is the single most radically anti-Christian regime in American history — and it&#8217;s not even close.
In the proclamation, Biden describes so-called &#8220;transgender Americans&#8221; as &#8220;part of the fabric of our Nation.&#8221; He accuses millions of Americans of being &#8220;hateful&#8221; for supporting laws that ban the castration, sterilization and mutilation of children, saying these Americans seek to &#8220;target and terrify transgender kids and their families.&#8221;
And he also claims that there&#8217;s an &#8220;epidemic of violence&#8221; against people identifying as transgender, without mentioning that this violence almost <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshShow/status/1727039849880830069" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exclusively</a> relates to domestic incidents, or prostitution and drug related crimes. He also failed to qualify this statement with the fact that trans-identified Americans are murdered at a lower rate than the general population.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1337-the-most-anti-christian-president-in-history-declares-easter-transgender-day-of-visibility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
Of course, nowhere in &#8220;devout Catholic&#8221; Joe Biden&#8217;s proclamation is there an attempt to explain how the concept of transgenderism is compatible, in any way, with Catholicism. He does not grapple with how a Christian can ascribe to modern gender theory while also accepting what we are clearly told in the first chapter of genesis: “male and female created He them.” There is no way to grapple with this. These views are diametrically opposed. One can either believe in transgenderism or Christianity, not both. Just as one can either believe in transgenderism or biology, not both. On both counts, Biden chooses transgenderism. Coming from the same alleged Catholic who pushes the mass murder of the unborn, that&#8217;s not surprising.
This decision — to issue this blasphemous proclamation on Easter — was so unbelievable, so unprecedented in modern politics, that a lot of people wondered if it was real. When I saw it on social media, I had to check the White House website myself. And I found that indeed, it was real. And precisely because it&#8217;s real — because it&#8217;s easily verifiable and so damaging to the Biden administration at the same time — so-called &#8220;fact-checkers&#8221; instinctively jumped into action to tell us not to believe our lying eyes.
There were many examples of this, so I&#8217;ll just pick one. Here&#8217;s the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/transgender-day-visibility-falls-annually-march-31-not-always-easter-2024-03-29/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> from Reuters: &#8220;Fact Check: Transgender Day of Visibility falls annually on March 31, not always at Easter.&#8221; And here&#8217;s the spin: &#8220;International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) takes place annually on March 31 to celebrate transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. It was not designed intentionally to fall on Easter Sunday as claimed by some online account. &#8230; TDOV has been celebrated on the same date, March 31, for years. The date of Easter changes each year.&#8221;
The point of &#8220;fact-checks&#8221; like this is to censor posts on social media platforms like Facebook by labeling information as misinformation. They do this not by debunking a claim, but rather by intentionally confusing the issue. We see this again and again. It&#8217;s like when PolitiFact said it was &#8220;false&#8221; to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/politifact-aoc-parking-lot-fact-check-mockery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claim</a> AOC was photographed crying in front of an empty parking lot, because in reality, it was an empty road. They know what people are reacting to. And instead of talking about that, they pick some phony misconception related to the episode, in order to rate it &#8220;false.&#8221;
The problem with this excuse, in this case, is that Joe Biden did not have to issue any proclamation recognizing the so-called &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8221; Even Barack Obama never did that, despite the fact that this holiday was invented a year after Obama took office. That is what people are responding to.
Of course, no president should recognize any &#8220;transgender day,&#8221; regardless of what date it falls on. But if you have any respect at all for the holiest day on the Christian calendar, you would at least skip the proclamation this year. That&#8217;s the point. Reuters knows that, and they dodge it on purpose. There was no need to issue this proclamation, except for the sole and express purpose of mocking Christians.
Secondly, it&#8217;s not like the Democrats just begrudgingly nodded towards Trans Day because they felt like they had to. This wasn’t a perfunctory checking of boxes. They went out of their way to celebrate the occasion. It wasn&#8217;t just some staffer in the White House who put out that proclamation with Joe Biden&#8217;s name on it — they all did it. And this went beyond the White House. Here’s Gavin Newsom&#8217;s Easter message, for example:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
BREAKING: CA Governor Gavin Newsom just released a touching Easter message. 
Just kidding. 
It&#39;s for Trans Day Of Visibility. <a href="https://t.co/maKOi0OXGb">pic.twitter.com/maKOi0OXGb</a>
&mdash; End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) <a href="https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1774569413611511878?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It&#8217;s not necessarily the most important point to make here, but notice how Gavin Newsom’s wife claims that trans people have made many incredible contributions to human progress but then fails to cite one single specific example. She just says they&#8217;ve done a lot of great things, and moves on. But the truth is that trans-identified people have accomplished nothing of significance in this country, or any country. All they have done is contribute to massively increased rates of depression in the last decade, by encouraging young people to castrate and mutilate themselves instead of improving their mental health. They&#8217;ve also committed several acts of terrorism. But beyond that, they&#8217;re not doing anything of significance. Even if I was interested in celebrating the achievements of trans people — even if somehow I wanted to do this on Easter, of all days — I still would not be able to partake in that celebration for the simple reason that there are no achievements to celebrate.
But politicians throughout the Democratic Party, all over the country, pretended otherwise yesterday. In New York, Kathy Hochul <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2024-03/Transgender-Day-of-Visibility_2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> her own proclamation for Transgender Day of Visibility. It states that New York &#8220;reaffirm[s] our commitment to see beyond the gender binary and create equity.&#8221; 
For his part, the HHS secretary, Xavier Becerra, put out <a href="https://x.com/SecBecerra/status/1774466699066024177?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this message</a>: 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Today, I&#39;m thinking about our country’s great transgender, nonbinary, and two-spirit leaders who epitomize resilience, progress, and joy. Transgender Day of Visibility is an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments and double down on our commitment to their wellbeing. <a href="https://t.co/BehdgWJZV8">pic.twitter.com/BehdgWJZV8</a>
&mdash; Secretary Xavier Becerra (@SecBecerra) <a href="https://twitter.com/SecBecerra/status/1774466699066024177?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
He also added a picture of a bunch of people without faces, because that&#8217;s what equity means. No one has a face.
First of all, like Newsom&#8217;s wife, he doesn&#8217;t mention what &#8220;accomplishments&#8221; transgender people have achieved. That&#8217;s because there are no accomplishments to mention. On top of that, like the identity of &#8220;transgender,&#8221; so-called &#8220;non-binary&#8221; and &#8220;two-spirit&#8221; are nonsense labels that mean nothing. The two-spirit thing blew up in Canada a while ago, which is why Justin Trudeau goes around referring to &#8220;2SLGBTQIA+&#8221; people. But it&#8217;s not a real thing; it was <a href="https://lgbtqhealth.ca/community/two-spirit.php">invented</a> by some woman at a gay and lesbian conference in Canada in 1990.
There are other major problems with this statement, which again, is from our HHS secretary, who oversees health in this country. The biggest one, perhaps, is that you cannot tell us that trans people will kill themselves if you misgender them and then in the next breath insist that these people &#8220;epitomize resilience and joy.” If they really are a resilient, joyful people then we don’t have to worry about what kind of language we use around them. They can handle it, with resilience and joy.
But if we do have to worry about the words we use — worry, in fact, that the wrong word might cause them to commit suicide en masse — then there may be many terms you can use to describe them but “joyful” isn’t one of them, and “resilient” even less so. As for &#8220;doubling down on our commitment to their wellbeing,&#8221; as the HHS secretary claims to want to do, the only way to accomplish that is to tell them the truth and stop catering to their delusions.
But of course, most importantly, Sunday was Easter. Xavier Becerra, like all of us, should have spent the day thinking not about trans people, but about the lordship of Jesus Christ, and the state of his own immortal soul.
The same is true of Karine Jean-Pierre, who issued a <a href="https://x.com/PressSec/status/1774203846023053330?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> about the &#8220;courage&#8221; of the trans community on Sunday. This is the same woman who claimed that &#8220;trans kids&#8221; are under attack in this country, just three days after a trans terrorist murdered men, women and children in a Christian school. 
But Karine Jean-Pierre never praised the courage of the police officers who put that trans terrorist down. She never mentioned their heroism. They do not need to be “visible,” apparently, like trans people do. They don’t have their own holiday, like the sacred Trans Day of Visibility. A holiday so apparently important, so engrained in our national tradition, that it must be officially recognized by the White House, no matter if it conflicts with Easter or not.
It could be interesting now to take a look at the person who started this fake holiday. It was invented by a man who identifies as a woman and now uses the name Rachel Crandall-Crocker. Here he is:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This is the person who invented “Trans Day of Visibility.” He claims he knew since he was 8-years-old that he was trans. <a href="https://t.co/FQtsqig1D2">pic.twitter.com/FQtsqig1D2</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Trans Week of Visibility 2018 | Rachel Crandall-Crocker" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aNoWDAbM2yA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is the Left&#8217;s approximation of Jesus now. This man who believes that 8-year-olds can change their gender, is who they&#8217;re choosing to valorize. He achieved the incredible feat of starting a Facebook group back in 2009, which is where Trans Day of Visibility originates. Easter began with the son of God emerging gloriously from the tomb. Trans Day of Visibility began with a guy starting a Facebook group. I guess this is what passes for a great accomplishment in the trans community.
Another irony of this whole &#8220;trans day of visibility,&#8221; of course, is that trans people are already more visible than any other group in the history of the world, when you compare their population to the amount of media coverage, et cetera, that they receive. There has never been such a vast gulf between the attention paid to a group of people and the actual size of that group. LGBT people in general are celebrated with <a href="https://x.com/jarvis_best/status/1774115482255106479?s=20">dozens</a> of special days and months, just for them. 
We’ve gone over the full list several times in the past, so I’ll spare you. But we know, of course, that they have all of &#8220;Pride Month.&#8221; That&#8217;s 30 days right there. They have the Trans Day of Visibility, the Agender Pride Day, International Pronoun Day, National Coming Out Day, Transgender Parent Day, Trans Awareness Week, Omnisexual Visibility Day, Bisexual Visibility Day, Bisexual Awareness Week, International Non-Binary Day (which is also a week, for some reason), the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, the International Lesbian Visibility Day, as well as Gay Uncle Day in August. There&#8217;s many more. In all, I counted more than 130 days on the calendar reserved to worship our LGBT deities. There might be more but I gave up counting.
Government leaders make a point of recognizing most of these days. Meanwhile, Christianity — the faith that built this country, the faith that many of the most important, most accomplished, most significant human beings in the history of humanity belonged to — only has two holidays that someone like Joe Biden will even pretend to care about. And now one of those two has been overshadowed by one of the 130 LGBT days. It&#8217;s outrageous and disgusting, but also instructive. I&#8217;ve been saying for years that &#8220;LGBT&#8221; isn&#8217;t just a collection of sexual and gender identities. It&#8217;s our new state religion. And never has that been more clear than it is today.

The campaign for former President Donald Trump released a statement Saturday afternoon condemning the White House&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-declares-easter-sunday-transgender-day-of-visibility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declaration</a> of Easter Sunday as &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8221;
In a Friday proclamation, President Joe Biden said that on Easter Sunday “we will honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.” The White House also <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/29/media/religious-themed-designs-banned-from-white-house-easter-egg-art-contest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned</a> religious themed Easter egg designs for an annual art contest.
The Trump campaign responded, calling the declaration &#8220;blasphemous.&#8221;
&#8220;It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden&#8217;s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art event, and formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as &#8216;Trans Day of Visibility,'&#8221; the statement reads. &#8220;Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration&#8217;s years-long assault on the Christian faith.&#8221;

In each of his first three years in the White House, Biden has issued proclamations for “Transgender Day of Visibility” to be recognized on March 31. This year, Biden called on “all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
The White House proclamation also comes just days after the anniversary of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, where a trans-identifying woman murdered three children and three adults at the Christian school. Biden did not issue a statement for the anniversary of the deadly shooting.
In his Friday proclamation, Biden also criticized “extremists” in Republican-led states who have passed laws protecting children from life-altering gender procedures and conservatives who have fought to remove sexually explicit books from school libraries.
“These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child,” Biden wrote.

The Trump campaign called on the White House &#8220;to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ.&#8221;
Biden&#8217;s proclamation was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speak-out-loudly-against-this-evil-internet-erupts-over-biden-declaring-easter-trans-day-of-visibility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slammed</a> by Christians and conservatives on social media who called for people to &#8220;speak loudly against this evil.&#8221;
“President Biden has announced that Easter Sunday is now ‘Trans Day of Visibility,’ pushing the toxic lie that one can be born in the ‘wrong body’ &amp; it’s ‘healthcare’ to mutilate one’s body,” prominent pro-life activist Lila Rose said. “Speak out loudly against this evil, which is destroying a whole generation of kids.”
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh wrote, “I have as low an opinion of Biden as you can possibly have and yet this is so outrageously evil that I had to check to make sure it was real. It is. Our ‘catholic’ president has chosen the highest holiday on the Christian calendar to celebrate transgenderism. This man is a demon.”

‘Assault On The Christian Faith’: Trump Campaign Blasts Biden Declaring Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day Of Visibility’

Politics

A &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transgender Day of Vengeance</a>&#8221; outside of Nashville, scheduled for Easter Sunday the week of the anniversary of the mass killing of schoolchildren by a transgender terrorist, has been cancelled following the exposure of the event in The Daily Wire.
Organizers did not apologize for the optics of calling for &#8220;vengeance&#8221; near the anniversary of the Covenant mass murder, but rather claimed that they were victims.
&#8220;Event Canceled. Due to misleading headlines from right wing news sites, we have received many threats. &#8230; We will be having a make up show at a later date and a new venue. &#8230; We decided the threat was too great, and we don&#8217;t want to risk anyone&#8217;s safety,&#8221; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5Hvi1fOWGa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boro Fondo</a>, a festival group that sponsored the event, said on Instagram.
Organizers did not respond to a text message asking for specifics or evidence of any threats.
The concert was set for the Graveyard Gallery in Murfreesboro, about an hour from Nashville, shocking residents in what one resident called &#8220;the heart of the Bible Belt.&#8221; The show was to raise money for sex-change operations and to mail chest binders to people who &#8220;could not access them.&#8221;
Tennessee State Rep. Clay Doggett, the chairman of the legislature&#8217;s Criminal Justice Subcommittee, condemned the event&#8217;s scheduling, telling The Daily Wire, &#8220;It’s incredibly insensitive to the memory of the victims, their families, and the entire Nashville community that is still grieving over this horrific tragedy. &#8230; The shock of evil that happened at Covenant School on that day will never fade.&#8221;
A &#8220;Transgender Day of Vengeance&#8221; in D.C. scheduled for last year, was also cancelled for the same reason &#8212; not out of compassion for the victims of the transgender-identifying child killer, but because of claims that transgender people would be harmed at the event.

The bands set to play the show included Dumpster Pussy, Dru The Drifter + The Back Alley Hookers, Boy Clothes, Spinning Lodge, and the Oitakus.
Participants had little compassion when The Daily Wire asked them about the optics of hosting the event on the anniversary week of the Covenant shooting, when a Left-wing gun-woman who believed she was a gun-man killed three children and three adults. A band member in Spinning Lodge, one of the bands scheduled to play, did not reply to a request for comment, but instead posted the reporter&#8217;s phone number to incite harassment.
The band&#8217;s singer describes himself on Facebook as a &#8220;She/It trans goblin girl&#8230;. far left.&#8221; Its Facebook banner is a picture of the Daily Wire article and profile picture features a Palestinian flag.
Spinning Lodge said on social media that a Daily Wire reporter &#8220;tried to present himself neutrally,&#8221; but contained &#8220;misinformation,&#8221; including being offended that the article described the terrorist as a &#8220;transgender-identifying woman” instead of “transgender.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tennessee-venue-to-host-trans-day-of-vengeance-event-days-after-covenant-shooting-anniversary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire article</a> said that while transgender people call for &#8220;vengeance&#8221; against a &#8220;genocide,&#8221; FBI statistics show no such thing, with only two transgender people killed in hate crimes in 2021, both by black men.
Spinning Lodge suggested that that&#8217;s because the FBI was in on it, saying, &#8220;his reasoning there can be no genocide is that anti-trans hate crime rates are too low. I don’t think he understands genocide. It’s kinda the whole point that the violence and attempted elimination of a group of people are state sponsored.&#8221;

The White House has officially proclaimed Sunday — the day on which billions of Christians will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ — as &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8221;
President Joe Biden released a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proclamation</a> on Friday, calling on &#8220;all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.&#8221;
In the proclamation, the White House added that on Easter Sunday &#8220;we will honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.&#8221;
In each of his first three years in the White House, Biden has issued proclamations for &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221; to be recognized on March 31. Leftist activists across the country will celebrate &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility,&#8221; including some who will host a “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tennessee-venue-to-host-trans-day-of-vengeance-event-days-after-covenant-shooting-anniversary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trans Day of Vengeance</a>&#8221; concert on Sunday. The White House proclamation also comes just days after the anniversary of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, where a trans-identifying woman murdered three children and three adults at the Christian school. Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/page/4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">did not issue a statement</a> for the anniversary of the deadly shooting.
In his Friday proclamation, Biden criticized &#8220;extremists&#8221; in Republican-led states who have passed laws protecting children from life-altering gender procedures and conservatives who have fought to remove sexually explicit books from school libraries.
&#8220;These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child,&#8221; Biden wrote.
The president then claimed that trans-identifying Americans, &#8220;especially women and girls of color,&#8221; face an &#8220;epidemic of violence.&#8221;
&#8220;Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end,&#8221; Biden added. &#8220;No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.&#8221;

Biden has used his office repeatedly to promote pro-trans and LGBT policies, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trans-activist-who-went-topless-at-wh-event-apologizes-calls-people-who-spoke-out-vile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inviting</a> trans-identifying social media influencers to White House events, such as Pride Month <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-white-house-pride-month-celebration-108f336660b46cb807dc8d1eea8ac2dc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrations</a> hosted on the South Lawn.
The White House &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221; declaration was slammed by social media users, who were enraged the president promoted the day on Easter Sunday.
&#8220;Hey Joe, I will NOT be celebrating your woke, IMAGINARY, demonic holiday,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/WatchChad/status/1774080566385672507" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> comedian and conservative commentator Chad Prather. &#8220;It is a DISGRACE to put a &#8216;TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY&#8217; on Easter of all days.&#8221;
Kaylee McGhee White, op-ed editor at The Washington Examiner, <a href="https://twitter.com/KayleeDMcGhee/status/1774062846394933274" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>, &#8220;Such utter contempt for Christians and their beliefs.&#8221;
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary professor Andrew T. Walker said the &#8220;true priorities&#8221; of the Biden administration &#8220;are desecrating the human body.&#8221;
&#8220;While American Christians celebrate the pinnacle of their faith on Resurrection Sunday on March 31 (the faith that nourished the American experience), the Decency is Back™️ caucus in the Biden administration are celebrating the same day as &#8216;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8217; Read the room, you degenerate neo-gnostics,&#8221; he <a href="https://twitter.com/andrewtwalk/status/1774105169564774794" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;Maybe they’ll muster the courage to say something about Easter, especially from this supposedly &#8216;Catholic&#8217; President, but we know their true priorities are desecrating the human body, not celebrating its renewal through Jesus’s resurrection.&#8221;

Biden Declares Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day Of Visibility’

Disney’s new &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; showrunner Leslye Headland has been raising eyebrows with her latest comments about her upcoming female-centric, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yet-another-star-wars-show-wants-to-challenge-the-story-this-is-about-power" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sith-focused</a> series.
So, we took a deep dive into her past projects and the comments she’s made over the years to get an idea about the woman described as the &#8220;Queen of Raunch Comedy.&#8221;
<h3>Harvey Weinstein And The Seven Deadly Sins</h3>
Early in her career, Headland worked under disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein as his assistant for <a href="https://tvovermind.com/leslye-headland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one year</a> during her time at Miramax.
In 2012, Headland said that Weinstein influenced her &#8220;raunchy female comedy&#8221; &#8220;Bachelorette,&#8221; which was first a play and later her debut film, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/bachelorette-harvey-weinstein-leslye-headland-366769/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a> reported. It was part of her Seven Deadly Sins play series, this one dealing with gluttony.
Next, she developed another part of her sins play series called &#8220;Assistance,&#8221; this one dealing with greed, THR <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/bachelorette-harvey-weinstein-leslye-headland-366769/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>. Later, she did &#8220;Cult of Love,&#8221; <a href="https://stagescenela.com/2018/05/cult-of-love/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stage Scene LA</a> reported, where she takes aim at the sin of pride, &#8220;particularly that of self-proclaimed ‘Christians’ who would counsel praying away the gay, blame a couple’s miscarriage on their godlessness, and refuse antidepressants the better to keep on hearing voices straight from the Big Guy himself,&#8221; the outlet noted.

Leslye Headland in Sleeping with Other People (2015)." width="833" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/8Picture1-833x576.jpg 833w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/8Picture1-300x207.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/8Picture1-768x531.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/8Picture1-1536x1062.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/8Picture1-2048x1417.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px" />IMDB. Leslye Headland</div>
In 2018, Headland talked to the <a href="https://www.americantheatre.org/2018/05/30/leslye-headland-on-sin-certainty-and-harvey-weinstein/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Theater</a> about her series and the seven deadly sins. &#8220;I think they’re just normal,&#8221; Headland said. &#8220;They’re what comes along with the baggage of being alive and sentient.&#8221;
She also told the <a href="https://www.americantheatre.org/2018/05/30/leslye-headland-on-sin-certainty-and-harvey-weinstein/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Theater</a> in 2018 that she was &#8220;shocked&#8221; Weinstein was taken down and &#8220;so emboldened by the chorus of voices that brought him down.&#8221;
&#8220;When someone is screaming at you, and a whole bunch of grown men are in the same room and don’t do anything, that tells you something right away about what kind of danger you may or may not be in,&#8221; Headland said. &#8220;You’re like, &#8216;Oh, no one is going to stop this person. The only person that is going to make sure I don’t come to harm is me.'&#8221;
<h3>From Plays To Movies</h3>
<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/leslye-headland-meet-the-new-queen-of-raunch-comedy-59020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rolling Stone</a> magazine took their interview with Headland to a whole new level, naming her &#8220;New Queen of Raunch Comedy&#8221; in 2015 following the release of her raunchcom &#8220;Sleeping With Other People.&#8221;
The film deals with one of Headland’s favorite themes, &#8220;sex addiction,&#8221; <a href="https://tvovermind.com/leslye-headland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TV Overmind</a> noted. In one scene, actor Jason Sudeikis demonstrated sex acts in explicit detail.
Headland told Rolling Stone that men &#8220;&#8230; have no idea what’s going down there. Just, zero clue. I have a chart of the vagina in my house, and when a male friend saw it, he said, ‘Wow…this just looks like something I’m going to fail at!’ I don’t get the mystery. It’s not a boogeyman.&#8221;
<div class="image"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-716361" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/83Picture1-865x576.jpg" alt="" width="865" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/83Picture1-865x576.jpg 865w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/83Picture1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/83Picture1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/83Picture1-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/83Picture1-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/83Picture1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/83Picture1.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px" /></div>
In 2015, <a href="https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/sleeping-with-other-people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paste</a> interviewed Headland about the movie and going from plays to the big screen.
&#8220;I meant to make these very important pieces of work, and then everyone was just losing their mind laughing about the whole b***-j** monologue or the bottle scene,&#8221; the new &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; creator said. &#8220;I guess there&#8217;s just something important behind making people laugh about the things that are really, truly painful.&#8221;
She also admitted she’s always been a provocateur since she was young and is still today with her plays, films, and series.
&#8220;I am that provocateur that I was when I was a little kid &#8230; I&#8217;m much more interested in &#8216;What am I not allowed to say? What is the thing that we aren’t talking about in a mainstream space?'&#8221; Headland said. &#8220;And why not?&#8221;
<h3>LGBTQ Infused</h3>
In 2021, Headland talked with <a href="https://www.avclub.com/leslye-headland-s-favorite-star-wars-is-the-star-wars-y-1847118044" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AV Club</a> about LGBTQ representation in films. She said, &#8220;as somebody that is a lesbian, every time I see gay or queer representation in the media, I scream with happiness. There is just nothing like seeing that out in the world.&#8221;
&#8220;To have the power, when you’re creating media, to just put in certain types of people that maybe aren’t necessarily in normal mainstream content or media is just…&#8221; she added. &#8220;I know that for people who don’t identify that way, it doesn’t seem that important, but to us, it’s huge.&#8221;
Basically, if Headland is involved in a project, whether it be on stage, the small or the big screen, it will include LGBTQ references.
<h3>Representation In New &#8220;Star Wars: The Acolyte&#8221;</h3>
In 2021, Headland spoke to the <a href="https://www.advocate.com/film/2021/7/01/lesbian-leslye-headland-brings-queer-lens-star-wars-franchise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advocate</a> about having representation on &#8220;The Acolyte,&#8221; series on screen and behind the scenes.
&#8220;You can expect some sort of expression of my own artistic dream and just my voice and what it looks like in that universe, for sure,&#8221; the SW creator said, &#8220;But I also think that representation both on screen and behind the screen, it&#8217;s just so important.&#8221;
She said with her new series she fully &#8220;intends to allow her own personal experiences as a queer woman shine through in the finished product.&#8221;
&#8220;In the same way that the original ‘Star Wars’ film, ‘A New Hope,’ is about a young man living in Modesto, California, who doesn&#8217;t want to take over his dad&#8217;s hardware store,&#8221; Headland said. &#8220;There&#8217;s just no way that me being a queer woman is not going to be reflected in my work. I could try not to do it, but why would I? It just feels like a natural extension of what I do.&#8221;
She also talked about the characters in her stories and made it clear they will all be queer, in some way.
&#8220;I think that because storytelling, at its core, is always going to come down to either the personal or emotional through-line to your characters, your identity is important,&#8221; Headland said. &#8220;And like I said, mine is just going to be in my work, whether I&#8217;m explicitly dealing with it or not, it&#8217;s always going to be there.&#8221;
Speaking to <a href="https://ew.com/tv/the-acolyte-star-wars-leslye-headland-amandla-stenberg-lee-jung-jae/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Weekly</a> she also promised that &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; fans will &#8220;see more morally ambiguous characters than you’ve seen in other Star Wars content.&#8221;
LGBTQ representation also includes who she’s hired to work on the new series, <a href="https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/03/20/star-wars-the-acolyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PinkNews</a> reported.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-casts-transgender-actor-for-new-star-wars-series-on-streaming-site" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transgender actor Abigail Thorn</a>, a biological male who identifies as a woman, was hired for the role of Ensign Eurus and Jen Richards is one of the writers.
Not to mention Headland, a lesbian, is helming the series with wife Rebecca Henderson starring in it as a &#8220;Jedi knight prodigy,&#8221; Pink News noted.
Gay, non-binary star, Amandla Stenberg, stars in the show, as does Charlie Barnett, an outspoken gay star, the outlet noted.
Disney has faced a backlash at the box office following its push of LGBTQ representation.
Disney Pixar studio, &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pixars-elemental-with-non-binary-character-flops-at-box-office-with-2nd-worst-opening-in-studio-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elemental,&#8221;</a> included a &#8220;non-binary&#8221; character and the movie had one of the worst openings in the studio’s history, earning $29.5 million at the domestic box office. &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disneys-strange-world-on-track-to-lose-100-million" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strange World&#8221;</a> involved a same-sex teen romance and was a box office flop for the company.

According to Disney+ &#8220;The Acolyte&#8221; is rated TV-14. <a href="https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/03/16/star-wars-declared-worse-and-woker-than-ever-after-confirmation-of-intimacy-coordinator-hired-for-the-acolyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bounding into Comics</a> reported in March 2023, that Headland brought in an intimacy coordinator for part of the show’s production. The outlet reported that the coordinator was used for 8 episodes of the first season.
An intimacy coordinator &#8220;is an advocate, a liaison between actors and production, and a movement coach and/or choreographer in regards to nudity and simulated sex and other intimate and hyper-exposed scenes,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.sagaftra.org/contracts-industry-resources/workplace-harassment-prevention/intimacy-coordinator-resources" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAG-AFTRA</a>.
Earlier this month, a <a href="https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1770167671654396333?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> from the 2023 Star Wars Celebration resurfaced in which Headland said the new series will be like the children’s movie &#8220;Frozen&#8221; which she labeled &#8220;coded queer.&#8221;
Headland talked about watching &#8220;Frozen&#8221; as an adult and was captivated by &#8220;the concept of true love being between two sisters and not a heterosexual relationship. She said it &#8220;inspired&#8221; her to create a similar story that her parents would have allowed her to watch when she was a younger &#8220;queer&#8221; person, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-reacts-to-star-wars-the-acolyte-creator-crazier-than-the-south-park-parody" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
In 2020, Headland spoke to <a href="https://ew.com/tv/the-acolyte-star-wars-leslye-headland-amandla-stenberg-lee-jung-jae/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Weekly</a> about improving LGBTQ representation in films and promised that &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; fans will &#8220;see more morally ambiguous characters than you’ve seen in other Star Wars content.&#8221;
<h3>&#8220;Russian Doll&#8221; And &#8220;Dying For Sex&#8221;</h3>
Headland co-produced a short in 2021 called &#8220;<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11717932/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pink and Blue</a>,&#8221; about &#8220;a Trans couple of color raising their child in a binary world.&#8221; She also directed Netflix’s &#8220;Russian Doll,&#8221; which is filled with references of drugs, sex, and numerous LGBTQ references, <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2019/02/russian-doll-leslye-headland-interview.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vulture</a> noted. She’s currently directing the <a href="https://www.sugar23.com/news/michelle-williams-to-headline-dying-for-sex-fx-series-from-liz-meriwether-leslye-headland-based-on-podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FX series</a> called &#8220;Dying for Sex&#8221; about a woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, who abandons her husband of 15 years to explore her sexuality,&#8221; <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/01/jenny-slate-michelle-williams-dying-for-sex-fx-1235795295/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deadline</a> reported.

A new player on the U.S. women’s national soccer team (USWNT) apologized on Thursday after facing pressure from people on social media, including former USWNT player Megan Rapinoe, for reposting a clip of a Christian man who spoke on his past experiences with same-sex attraction and transgenderism.
Korbin Albert, a 20-year-old midfielder who played for Notre Dame, <a href="https://twitter.com/tonaliana/status/1773139822858719624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1773139822858719624%7Ctwgr%5E9786f621f97252cda4bc7f8b7974937bad3c4660%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Farticle-13251253%2FUSWNT-midfielder-Korbin-Albert-apologizes-Megan-Rapinoe-criticism-backlash-admits-post-anti-LGBTQ-content-insensitive-hurtful.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sparked outrage</a> after she shared a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@wareagle25/video/7298398026119318814?_r=1&amp;_t=8l2YLz7GWCf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clip</a> on her TikTok account that showed the Christian man, who previously thought he might be a woman, telling his church that he stopped taking hormone treatment after expressing his faith in Jesus Christ, The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13251253/USWNT-midfielder-Korbin-Albert-apologizes-Megan-Rapinoe-criticism-backlash-admits-post-anti-LGBTQ-content-insensitive-hurtful.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. After Albert shared the clip, Rapinoe — who is a lesbian and staunch LGBT advocate — posted what appeared to be a response to Albert on her Instagram story without naming the young soccer player.
“To the people who want to hide behind ‘my beliefs’ I would just ask one question, are you making any time of space safer, more inclusive, more whole, any semblance of better, bringing the best out of anyone?” Rapinoe wrote. “… because if you aren&#8217;t all you believe in is hate. And Kids are literally killing themselves because of this hate. Wake TF up! Yours Truly, #15.”
Some of Albert’s teammates on the U.S. women’s soccer team shared Rapinoe’s post, including USWNT captain Becky Sauerbrunn, according to the Mail.
Albert — who now wears #15, Rapinoe’s old number, for USWNT — posted a statement on Thursday, apologizing for her “actions on social media” and promising “to do better.”
“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions on social media. Liking and sharing posts that are offensive, insensitive and hurtful was immature and disrespectful which was never my intent,” Albert wrote. “I&#8217;m really disappointed in myself and am deeply sorry for the hurt that I have caused to my teammates, other players, fans, friends and anyone who was offended.”
“I truly believe that everyone should feel safe and respected everywhere and on all playing fields. I know my actions have not lived up to that and for that I sincerely apologize,” she added. “It&#8217;s an honor and a privilege to get to play this sport and on the world stage and I promise to do better.”

After her injury, Rapinoe also joked about God, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/megan-rapinoe-takes-another-shot-at-christians-after-saying-injury-is-proof-god-isnt-real-theyre-not-okay" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, “I’m not a religious person or anything and if there was a God, this is proof that there isn’t.”
Later addressing her comment, Rapinoe said, “Somebody needs to check on the Christians. They’re not okay. They also missed the whole joke, but okay.”

“Alumni and students are constantly challenging me and inspiring me in new ways. The things I’ve done in my life and career all stem from the things I was exposed to at Princeton,” Farmer <a href="https://alumni.princeton.edu/stories/trey-farmer-philosophical-approach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a 2022 profile published on the school&#8217;s alumni website.
The glowing &#8220;alumni spotlight&#8221; profile called Farmer a &#8220;piano prodigy&#8221; and touted that he was &#8220;heavily recruited by other prestigious universities.&#8221; He has earned master’s degrees at both Yale and Harvard, the profile said.

Farmer also owned and ran companies in the U.S. and abroad and organized art festivals.

Farmer spends some of his time in Florida.
The prosecutor&#8217;s office <a href="https://alumni.princeton.edu/stories/trey-farmer-philosophical-approach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they received a tip in January that someone in Mercer County had uploaded an item portraying child sexual abuse material, and investigators linked the material to Farmer.
Princeton referred questions about Farmer to the prosecutor&#8217;s office, <a href="https://www.nj.com/mercer/2024/03/well-known-music-activist-entrepreneur-charged-with-child-porn-possession.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to NJ.com.
The tip came to the prosecutor&#8217;s Internet Crimes Against Children unit, and the information originated with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Several law enforcement agencies coordinated to arrest him Friday, including the county prosecutor&#8217;s office, the Mercer County Tactical Response Team, and Homeland Security Investigations Trenton.
They executed a search warrant to seize &#8220;multiple items of evidentiary value,&#8221; the prosecutor&#8217;s office said.
Farmer was being held at the Mercer County Jail before a scheduled detention hearing Wednesday in Trenton at the Superior Court of Mercer County.
The prosecutor&#8217;s office said they planned to argue that he should be detained before trial.
