The “Real Time” host expressed hesitancy about children using puberty blockers, citing a lack of long term studies, saying that “we’re literally experimenting on children.” “Maybe that’s why Sweden and Finland have stopped giving puberty blockers to kids, because we just don’t know much about the long term effects,” Maher said.
“Although common sense should tell you that when you reverse the course of raging hormones, there’s going to be problems,” Maher added. Some problems Maher pointed to were child bone density development, fertility and “the ability to have an orgasm,” the comedian said.
Maher also pointed to statistics that show an exponential increase in LGBT-identifying people generation by generation.
“According to a recent Gallup poll, less than 1% of Americans born before 1946 — that’s Joe Biden’s Generation — identity that way. 2.6% of boomers do, 4.2% of Gen X, 10.5% of millennials and 20.8% of Gen Z … which means if we follow this trajectory we will all be gay in 2054.”
“It wasn’t that long ago that when adults asked a kid ‘what do you want to be when you grow up’, they meant ‘what profession’,” not gender. After commending the evolution of gay rights in the U.S., Maher told activists that “someone needs to say it: not everything’s about you.”

Millennials, in my opinion, is closer to actuality. In the animal kingdom, approximately 10% of all animals are queer, so it stands to reason that that # will apply to the human species as well. Trust me, I don’t know why. As a gay man, I wish I could explain it. Millenials grew up during the most tolerant point in American history, while Gen z is being groomed into it by their parents who want to be chic and viewed as tolerant and accepting. Trust me, it’s not fun hearing that I’ll “burn in hell for all eternity” for being who I was born to be. I am judged for that and not for all the good I put forth into my community daily. I bet you any amount of $ that not a single one of my neighbors would want me to move, for they know the type of person I am. I not perfect, but I am proud of the man that looks back from the mirror.

Bugsy278 says
Thank you, my friend. Very kind words.

“10% of all animals are queer”?????
Bugsy278 says
Approximately…yes.
Gay ducks, cats and dogs, lions…it’s been found in every species. No known explanations. Easy to look up.
bill says
It’s just a hopeful anthropomorphic projection.

Normally the only thing I agree with Bill Maher about is his stand on islam when he called it a bad idea and Sam Harris, sitting beside him said it was the motherlode of bad ideas and wee Ben boy went bat shit crazy.
He still thinks of himself as a Liberal though hes waking up as he gets older, he recently said in an interview that the Democrats were going nuts.
This is not woke, this is being awake.
BLR says
yea I agree to late for maher to do damage control on most of our american ideals he wrecked but he has some use yet unlike his soul mate jane fonda who will live in infamy in my kinds eyes to the end
Linda Rivera says
Bill Maher is so funny. LOL !
Maher is a leftist who has integrity and ethics.
I deeply appreciate Maher speaking up for America’s and the world’s children against the SATANIC CHILD HATERS who seek to utterly destroy precious, vulnerable children.

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene thanks Maher. American heroine, Marjorie courageously speaks out for the Jan 6 imprisoned American Political Prisoners who have not been charged with any crime but still rot in jail. One of the political prisoners lost all hope and committed suicide.
This is what communist regimes do. The US Supreme Court allows it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene visits Jan. 6 detainees at D.C. jail, says they are ‘suffering greatly’
November 5, 2021
The Georgia Republican said her visiting the detainees in the “Patriot” wing of the D.C. Central Treatment Facility “was like walking into a prisoner of war camp and seeing men [whose] eyes can’t believe someone had made it in to see them.”
Mrs. Greene said they have “virtually no medical care, very poor food quality, and [are] being put through re-education which most of them are rejecting.”
She said the detainees “have felt forgotten and hopeless” and that she was “greeted by men with overwhelming cheers who rushed out to meet me with tears streaming down their faces.”……….

Linda, you probably remember that Maher is even better at speaking out against Islam. I have at least 6 or more videos here where he does just this. And brilliantly, facing off with leftists.
