I'm a non-binary man, so there's a part of me that's not entirely man.
► 00:00:05
And there's a part of me that's non-binary as well.
► 00:00:07
I identify as binder.
► 00:00:09
I'm a femme boy, so I'm a man who sometimes or most of the time dresses up or experiences the female side of me.
► 00:00:16

Hey, you can never be too safe.

But I'll tell you what, did that guy, hey, did that guy get some serious wood or what?

► 00:00:50
Yana.
► 00:00:50
Yana, okay, so we're out here in Pride.
► 00:00:52
What are we proud of today?
► 00:00:53
Being gay.
► 00:00:55
What about you?
► 00:00:55
I'm proud of being trans.
► 00:00:57
And you?
► 00:00:58
I'm also proud of being trans.
► 00:01:00
What's your name?
► 00:01:00
Martin.
► 00:01:01
Alright, Martin.
► 00:01:02
What are we celebrating today?
► 00:01:04
We are celebrating gay pride and the ability to free speech.
► 00:01:09
Sorry.
► 00:01:09
Alright, what's up?
► 00:01:10
I'm out here with you.
► 00:01:10
What's your name?
► 00:01:11
I'm Tennyson.
► 00:01:11
Highness Meet Yo.
► 00:01:13
So who are we here with?
► 00:01:14
I'm the Ganes Bunny.
► 00:01:16
Cool.
► 00:01:17
So what are we proud of today?
► 00:01:18
Myself.
► 00:01:19
What about you?
► 00:01:20
Yeah, what about you?
► 00:01:21
Finding myself and finding my own individuality as a trans person.
► 00:01:25
So what is individuality for you?
► 00:01:27
Individuality.
► 00:01:28
Oh, God, I can't speak.
► 00:01:29
So it's pretty much just who you are.
► 00:01:32
Be yourself.
► 00:01:33
So who are you?
► 00:01:34
I go as theme and I am pretty a proud person.
► 00:01:38
What's your name?
► 00:01:39
Deanna Lorraine.
► 00:01:40
Deanna Lorraine.
► 00:01:40
Now, Deanna Lorraine is actually an author.
► 00:01:42
You just put out a book, is that correct?
► 00:01:43
Yeah, it's called Make Love Great Again.
► 00:01:46
There's white supremacy, there's also straight supremacy.
► 00:01:49
And who's in charge of that one?
► 00:01:51
What do you mean who's in charge?
► 00:01:52
Because kind of like Richard Spencer and the white nationalists kind of run the terrible white supremacy kind of groups today, but what?
► 00:01:58
It's pretty mainstream.
► 00:01:59
I mean, there are leaders to straight supremacist culture, but I mean, straight supremacy goes back for thousands of years.
► 00:02:09
I'm doing it.
► 00:02:10
I'm blending in.
► 00:02:11
They would never know.
► 00:02:13
I got this.
► 00:02:14
We're going to keep going.
► 00:02:15
We're going to keep doing this.
► 00:02:16
And so what do you dress as today?
► 00:02:18
I'm a unicorn.
► 00:02:19
And what does a unicorn represent to you?
► 00:02:20
Hope.
► 00:02:21
Hope, and what kind of hope do unicorns represent?
► 00:02:24
What was that again?
► 00:02:25
What kind of hope do unicorns represent?
► 00:02:27
The hope of a brighter future and that one day, like, yeah, like, this is great and this is what we're doing, but hopefully it's going to be a better cause.
► 00:02:39
We'll still be able to do this and there'll be less hate in the world, essentially.
► 00:02:43
How do we reduce the hate in the world?
► 00:02:44
We just love more.
► 00:02:46
And how do we love more?
► 00:02:47
Just accept people for who they are.
► 00:02:48
So basically, so I have a question.
► 00:02:50
So are you guys familiar with some people's arguments that the LGBT community is unnatural or that it's not normal?
► 00:02:57
What do you think about that?
► 00:02:58
Do you think that they're wrong?
► 00:02:59
Do you think they're right?
► 00:03:00
Do you think you're normal?
► 00:03:01
Do you think you're not?
► 00:03:01
What do you have to say to those kind of viewers?
► 00:03:04
There's no such thing as normal.
► 00:03:06
Are we purposely serving hot dogs because they look like, you know what?
► 00:03:11
No, not really.
► 00:03:12
People love them either way.
► 00:03:13
I think there's a lot of people here that like hot dogs.
► 00:03:16
You know what I'm saying?
► 00:03:16
Chili with bacon?
► 00:03:17
Yes, and in their mouths, possibly, too.
► 00:03:20
Okay.
► 00:03:21
All right, make love great again.
► 00:03:22
What's the book about?
► 00:03:23
The book is actually about how men and women can get back to their foundations of a little bit more traditional values.
► 00:03:29
We're on opposite sides of the planet.
► 00:03:30
Let's get back together and make love great again and restore what it was like back in the day a little bit more.
► 00:03:35
What do you think about the people that are against this?
► 00:03:37
I think that we're on another mentality and we have no tears left to cry and they should just like go be haters somewhere else.
► 00:03:48
And like pride's all about accepting everyone.
► 00:03:50
So the fact that people are like hating on accepting everyone, that just is completely against like everything that I think is good for our planet.
► 00:04:02
Yeah, we're out here dancing.
► 00:04:06
Hey, hey, what's up?
► 00:04:07
What's your name?
► 00:04:08
Michelle, the House of St. Laurent, honey.
► 00:04:11
We are representing for Post tonight.
► 00:04:13
Amen.
► 00:04:13
All right, good.
► 00:04:14
I five.
► 00:04:15
That's good stuff.
► 00:04:15
Keep getting it.
► 00:04:16
All right, Tezan, what are we wearing today?
► 00:04:18
This is my Dakini made from Namilia.
► 00:04:21
And we're wearing some shorts from Top Shop.
► 00:04:24
And last but not least, I'm wearing Christian Louis Buitton on my feet.
► 00:04:27
Awesome.
► 00:04:28
That's pretty crazy.
► 00:04:29
That's like, so you called it a dick kini.
► 00:04:31
Dikini.
► 00:04:32
A dikini?
► 00:04:32
Did you make that one up yourself?
► 00:04:34
No, that's actually what the designer calls these.
► 00:04:36
How much was that cost?
► 00:04:38
It was like around $400.
► 00:04:40
Really?
► 00:04:41
Yeah.
► 00:04:41
Really?
► 00:04:42
Yes.
► 00:04:42
But you can't put a price on a Dakini, correct?
► 00:04:44
No, you can't.
► 00:04:45
Hashtag what?
► 00:04:46
Refuse fascism.
► 00:04:47
What kind of fascist?
► 00:04:48
What kind of fascism are we refusing?
► 00:04:50
The Trump pants fascist regime.
► 00:04:52
So if they were fascist, wouldn't we probably not be allowed to be out here resisting them?
► 00:04:55
I'm sorry?
► 00:04:56
If they were fascist, probably would we not be allowed to be out here resisting them?
► 00:05:00
Necessarily.
► 00:05:01
It's not an insult and it's not an exaggeration.
► 00:05:03
They're fascists.
► 00:05:04
So what do you think that the LGBTQIA plus community stands for now that you're out here seeing it firsthand?
► 00:05:10
Degeneracy.
► 00:05:11
We have a, right here, this sign says, believe there is life after love.
► 00:05:16
Saint Cher of Malibu, 520 through 87.
► 00:05:20
It's absolutely my favorite book in the book of hedonism and debauchery.
► 00:05:24
I love it.
► 00:05:24
Thank you guys.
► 00:05:26
Believe in love after loss.
► 00:05:29
I've been saying this like all day.
► 00:05:31
Why are the cops here?
► 00:05:32
Cops here, yeah.
► 00:05:34
Probably to protect people.
► 00:05:35
Don't you guys want to be protected?
► 00:05:37
Well, security does not equal police.
► 00:05:40
And police like in the United States are like way over-militarized.
► 00:05:44
And so they're a force that are harming people more often.
► 00:05:47
So then who would protect us with guns in case there was like a terrorist attack or something?
► 00:05:51
That's just like my question.
► 00:05:53
Security does not equal police.
► 00:05:55
We don't have to have police here.
► 00:05:56
There's like, maybe private citizens with guns or not.
► 00:05:59
No, It's like armed security?
► 00:06:02
think so I think that it's just that the police are not trained well and there's not like a lot doing security are trained better than police I don't think that.
► 00:06:11
I think that there's like a widespread harm being done from all of these like well militarized like forces against citizens and I don't have a solution to be honest with you but I know that it's not to have militarized police at any event.
► 00:06:29
LGBTQIA LMNOP QRSTUVWXYNZ I know that I am at Pride LA.
► 00:06:43
Let's keep talking to people on the spectrum.
► 00:06:47
What do you say universities are supporting the LGBT community?
► 00:06:50
UCLA is.
► 00:06:51
Awesome.
► 00:06:52
What about other, do you think Biola University is?
► 00:06:55
No comment.
► 00:06:56
Awesome.
► 00:06:56
And so are you just having a fun time out here or what?
► 00:06:59
I am the Mujo Grande.
► 00:07:07
Me am El Bujo Grande.
► 00:07:11
Eh.
► 00:07:12
Bagar.
► 00:07:14
Awesome.
► 00:07:14
Well, thank you very much.
► 00:07:16
You enjoy it.
► 00:07:17
Have a good time.
► 00:07:18
I hope you have a great rest of the day at Pride.
► 00:07:20
Cool.
► 00:07:20
So what are we out here marching for today?
► 00:07:23
Equality, equal rights, gay rights, trans rights, all of that.
► 00:07:27
So what rights do the LGBT community still not have?
► 00:07:32
I think we've progressed to quite a bit.
► 00:07:34
Maybe they still discriminate against who can work where?
► 00:07:38
I don't think they do that, but so what like, is there any specific rights that we're fighting for equality in?
► 00:07:43
I guess more trans rights, the more visibility with them.
► 00:07:48
For me, I think I'm just fighting to like be with whoever I love.
► 00:07:52
Right, which is legal in every state at the moment.
► 00:07:55
So is there any other specific rights?
► 00:07:57
I'm sorry, no, I don't know.
► 00:07:59
Awesome.
► 00:07:59
But we ought to fight for the rights still, right?
► 00:08:01
Yeah, I guess, yeah, we do, we do.
► 00:08:03
We out here at Pride LA 2018.
► 00:08:06
We're with everyone nice.
► 00:08:07
No, we ain't mean.
► 00:08:09
Celebrating everything, because you know we out here, nobody wearing a ring.
► 00:08:15
What up?
► 00:08:16
We rapping, we talking, we repping.
► 00:08:18
What's up?
► 00:08:19
I'm here.
► 00:08:20
Yeah, I do SoundCloud.
► 00:08:21
What's up?
► 00:08:22
She's getting it.
► 00:08:22
There she is.
► 00:08:23
Oh.
► 00:08:24
Quick question.
► 00:08:25
So some people are pushing for an ability to even have sex with like possibly like in Europe, they're having these brothels with dogs.
► 00:08:33
Should people have the right to do that, or is that too far in the community?
► 00:08:37
Some people are pushing for it, and I just wanted to see what's your take, because that's freedom.
► 00:08:41
So is that too far?
► 00:08:44
Freedom for animals, too.
► 00:08:45
I mean, so animals need to be able to have consensual sex with humans if they're going to do that.
► 00:08:50
Awesome.
► 00:08:50
So are you familiar with California Bill AB 2943?
► 00:08:54
I am.
► 00:08:55
And according to that law, the Bible might be banned in California as well as my own book and my own counseling services.
► 00:09:02
Right, in regards to the fact, the banning, in the fact that certain types of counselors can't use any type of literature that would try to convert someone from being gay or living the LGBT lifestyle into being straight or what some people might call normal.
► 00:09:16
Obviously, it's not banning the Bible in churches or whatnot, but in the professional counseling setting, it's not going to be able to be used.
► 00:09:22
What do you think about that?
► 00:09:23
Well, I think it's ridiculous because if we're saying that gender is fluid and sexuality is fluid, right?
► 00:09:29
And we're always promoting gay and gender in our schools and everything and in our TV, then why can't we say, hey, you can have the option to learn how to be more about different sex attractions, opposite sex attractions.
► 00:09:43
If someone actually wants to genuinely become more heterosexual, maybe, or they want to actually learn the way to be attracted to the opposite sex, which is something that I teach, then why can't they learn that in California?
► 00:09:57
I think it's outrageous.
► 00:09:58
So do you think people are born gay or do you think it develops over time?
► 00:10:02
Ah.
► 00:10:04
Good question.
► 00:10:09
I can only speak for myself.
► 00:10:10
I am who I am and that's all that really matters.
► 00:10:13
Can you go from being gay to not being gay?
► 00:10:18
Me?
► 00:10:18
Just people in general.
► 00:10:20
Do you think that's possible?
► 00:10:22
Sure.
► 00:10:23
Resist Trump pens.
► 00:10:25
Resist Trump pens.
► 00:10:27
So we're just out here respecting the environment, taking care, representing people of color, and trying to spread diversity.
► 00:10:35
Look at all this.
► 00:10:36
This is just what clean air means to us out here in West LA.
► 00:10:40
Let's keep taking care of our streets.
► 00:10:42
Amen.
► 00:10:43
So if we keep promoting this and allowing this sort of degeneracy to run wild, we are going to basically f ⁇ up our own kids.
► 00:10:50
Like that.
► 00:10:50
See how the person just came up and kissed me?
► 00:10:53
What?
► 00:10:53
That person just came up and kissed me.
► 00:10:55
See?
► 00:10:55
Yeah, it's like, it's weird, right?
► 00:10:57
And we're in the Me Too movement, but it seems here like people, these are often very progressive and liberal people, but they seem to be very forward to push themselves upon you sexually.
► 00:11:06
Would you agree or disagree with that?
► 00:11:07
Yeah, I agree, because pretty much the progressives are actually regressive in the sense that it's Me Too for me, but Me Too not for thee.
► 00:11:13
So you want to explain to me a little bit about what you're wearing here today?
► 00:11:16
It's just Speedo.
► 00:11:19
I don't know.
► 00:11:20
It's just random stuff.
► 00:11:21
I like to just be naked.
► 00:11:24
Things you would wear to work.
► 00:11:25
Oh, yeah.
► 00:11:26
Well, I used to be a go-go dancer, so.
► 00:11:29
Consensual sex work is still federally illegal?
► 00:11:32
Yeah, that's why we should legalize it.
► 00:11:35
That way it's more like legalized prostitution.
► 00:11:40
Yeah.
► 00:11:41
Because sexuality, I mean, a lot of people here are claiming that sexuality is fluid, right?
► 00:11:44
That it's this idea.
► 00:11:46
So technically then you could change.
► 00:11:47
So then wouldn't that mean that as an adult, if they wanted to get counseling to change their sexuality and get help, that that's probably should be lawful?
► 00:11:54
I mean, yeah, if they wanted to do it, then yeah, I don't think people should be pressured into anything that they don't want to do.
► 00:11:59
Awesome.
► 00:11:59
And then do you have any words for our viewers about what your views are and how you found out or discovered that you were gay?
