00:00:59.940 this is the 77 wabc minicast i can't imagine growing up with the likes of rosie o'donnell
00:01:13.820 being your your parent uh 12 years old this poor kid and of course of course the kid has to be some
00:01:25.260 other sexuality but besides just a girl what are you i'm a heterosexual girl i'm a girl whatever
00:01:34.020 uh the kid's non-binary again what a coincidence right all these hollywood stars
00:01:42.240 they have kids or they adopt kids and the kids are never just regular heterosexual kids
00:01:51.920 they're all the uh you know an array of different sexualities but it has nothing to do with the
00:02:02.560 the parents they're not forcing them into that to uh push an agenda they're not convincing the
00:02:11.000 the impressionable child that they are indeed bisexual or non-binary or gay or
00:02:18.820 trans never because they would never do that to bolster their career you say
00:02:25.840 because for some reason in hollywood especially of late having a child that
00:02:32.520 is gay or trans or non-binary or what have you uh is a great thing it's a
00:02:40.200 great publicity piece for uh actors and actresses and boy have they used it so here's rosie she had
00:02:51.240 one fail one fail as a kid she's batting 500 with kids so far we'll see what happens with this one 0.99
00:02:59.140 uh but she's in ireland now so she can badmouth the united states of america 0.99
00:03:06.680 and here's listen to rosie talk about her kids and fascist america you know i have a little
00:03:14.740 non-binary 12 year old and she asked me if i was non-binary and i told her no i was an og lesbian 0.99
00:03:21.320 bitch and she said bitch is pejorative and i said you're too smart for me you're only 12 0.99
00:03:26.740 but uh it's wonderful to see a child so assured of who they are and they asked me what did your 1.00
00:03:35.420 class say when you told them you were gay when you were 10. It's like in America in 1973,
00:03:42.120 you didn't tell your class, you didn't even tell yourself, you know, and we've come a long way,
00:03:46.940 but there are still miles and miles to go. Now that fascism has taken hold in the United States,
00:03:52.440 it's now or never. We're about to lose democracy and lose our country and LGBTQIA people have to 1.00
00:03:59.940 stand up. And we have a tremendous history of doing just that through the AIDS crisis. And
00:04:05.020 you know through acceptance and stonewall and everything why do you think lgbt people find 1.00
00:04:11.860 such a home in musical theater you know it's always been the land of misfits and uh when i 1.00
00:04:18.380 first did my first show when i was in high school or junior high i thought this is where i belong
00:04:25.420 these are my people even though i couldn't really sing or dance i did not let that stop me and i've
00:04:31.020 done about five broadway shows since and to me the promise of hollywood and show business is best
00:04:36.320 realized on a broadway stage and uh show business can be very difficult and very tough but the
00:04:42.720 broadway community supports and loves each other and i'm happy to be a part of it everything's tough
00:04:48.580 for rosie so she's got a 12 year old and she's a non-binary i taught and by the way that what a
00:04:56.400 made up story they asked me what was it like did you tell your school that you were gay 10th grade
00:05:04.700 10 years old whatever it is that never happened rosie told the kid that the kid wouldn't ask
00:05:13.840 kid don't care and rosie probably went do you know what it took back then i couldn't say anything
00:05:20.320 You're lucky.
00:05:21.380 I couldn't say anything about my being gay, being a lesbian.
00:05:26.420 You could just walk around and tell anybody you're non-binary.
00:05:31.100 And then she's got to twist it to make it look like the kid asked her a question.
00:05:36.920 Gee, mother, what was it like when you were a child lesbian? 0.87
00:05:41.660 Please tell me, mother.
00:05:43.840 Well, I couldn't say anything.
00:05:46.860 You could say whatever.
00:05:48.380 that's that's what they did they just make up stories and they push these kids they just push
00:05:56.900 them into this whatever they want them to be non-binary a 12 year old you don't even know
00:06:07.360 what that means in any sense mathematically if it was simply ones and zeros mathematically
00:06:16.120 they don't know what non-binary means at 12 never mind sexually and and is this a 12 year old uh
00:06:25.460 what what are you have you matured sexually have you matured sexually because i don't know if you
00:06:31.980 know what a binary is because uh unless that happens that will wreak havoc on every aspect
00:06:42.580 of your life when you're a kid and you're like you know let me tell you what i your your pal
00:06:50.580 anthony liked as as a kid i liked dinosaurs i loved me some dinosaurs i would get these models
00:07:03.260 of dinosaurs there was a there was a line of of dinosaur models called prehistoric times
00:07:15.280 and i think i had every single one of them and they all linked together so you get like the
00:07:21.560 caveman one and then you get a triceratops one which didn't make sense time-wise i know
00:07:27.520 But it was just, you know, and then a T-Rex, of course.
00:07:32.200 And that's what Anthony liked.
00:07:35.380 And then all of a sudden something happened. 1.00
00:07:41.700 And Anthony didn't care at all about his stupid dinosaur. 1.00
00:07:49.080 All Anthony cared about were girls and how to get them to look at you and like you. 1.00
00:07:57.520 and talk to you and then as a little more time went by how you could maybe conjure up a few
00:08:05.660 more things a few more sick twisted ideas what you could do with these newfound things called 1.00
00:08:13.220 girls but before that when i liked a stegosaurus model i didn't know what i was there was no
00:08:25.520 possible way that I could come to a reasonable conclusion at 12 that I knew what I was sexually
00:08:38.960 unless there was an adult telling me and and leading me in a direction of what I
00:08:47.020 was supposed to be or questioning me in a leading way that I might say something like oh then I 0.90
00:08:54.520 guess i'm non-binary i don't know then you're non-binary put your dinosaurs away put your 0.96
00:09:01.140 dinosaurs away put on a backwards hat and try to grow a chin beard kids do not know 0.97
00:09:11.600 at that age they do not know a safer ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure
00:09:19.640 my car doesn't get stolen it means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars
00:09:24.880 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
