in 4th grade, kids taught me I was ugly. “FAIRY!” “GINGER!” “QUEER!” i’m ashamed to say, i still believe them 💔 i still hear their voices.

but yesterday, i felt so happy and so proud, i didn’t have time to feel ugly. and as i look at this picture, my eyes water because i felt so…cute 🥹 here. because i was so happy. i am happy.

so i just want YOU to know: whatever those kids told you about yourself is NOT true. they told you that because they felt bad about themselves and wanted to take away your spirit. your smile. maybe it…worked.💔

but the truth is, you are beautiful. you are kind. and you are good enough.

and i am so incredibly PROUD of you 🏳️‍🌈 thank you for having the courage to be who you are. your future is so bright it hurts my eyes. 🥹☀️💗

I believe the world needs more “Gay News.”

Gay News is not about s*x—or who someone sleeps with—despite what the homophobes say. It’s about love versus hate.

When I was 8 years old, the world started to hate me. I didn’t know what s*x was or “gay” meant. I just knew I liked stickers. I wanted ALL the stickers at my speech therapist’s office. The one I went to because I had a lisp.

He had rolls of different stickers that he gave out as awards. Lose the lisp, get a sticker! And, let me tell you, I got all the stickers. I did it.

I don’t have my lisp anymore. But I do still feel like something is wrong with me.

It took me years of therapy to learn that feelings are not facts. I feel invisible, but the fact is, yesterday a Disney cast member refused to write “Gay News” on my Mickey ears. “That’s a social media channel,” she said. “We can’t do that.” I nearly fell over. She knows what “Gay News” is because of…me? I am not invisible! But because she knows what it is, she’s rejecting me. I felt invisible all over again.

To me Gay News isn’t a “social media channel.” It’s a boy locked in his bedroom in March 2020 searching for a way to heal his 13 year old self. The one who lost his lisp, got his stickers, but still felt so alone and invisible.

It’s the 16 year old trans girl in Florida who’s terrified she’s going to lose her life-saving medicine because a white man wants more votes.

It’s the non-binary child of the brunette Mother who gave me a hug last night. “Thank you,” she said. “My child just wanted me to see them for who they are. And you gave me glasses. I see them now.”

That’s all any of us want. To be seen. “Gay News” exists to make sure you—and the 13 year old child still inside of you—knows that you are seen and you are loved. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you for flying to visit me from Argentina and for spending the day with me. You are an incredibly talented photographer and so kind. And thank you Sheila Dang for sharing my story. I am so grateful.

SOBBING😭 THIS. is why I make videos

10/06/2023

WE DID IT JOE!!!!! 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🏳️‍⚧️

Today I could feel 13-year-old me — the boy with no friends, who no one would talk to for being gay— whispering “this is real. you are here. you did it josh!”

I could also feel the bullies—the kids who told me I was a loser, I was a f*gg0t, I was a failure — whispering “lmao loser. LOSER!!!”

It hurts me to even type this.

I go to therapy every week, I try my best to do some good in the world, I try to believe I am worthy, but sometimes the bad whispers come through (especially when they aren’t useful.) Trauma stays with us.

That’s why when states pass laws targeting LGBTQ+ CHILDREN — mainly Trans Kids — I always think about the trauma. They say they are “PrOtEcTiNg ThE ChILdReN” but all they’re doing is causing trauma. Telling a trans boy or q***r girl that their existence alone is wrong.

So to see the President of the United States dance to q***r musicians🏳️‍🌈, tell Trans Kids they are loved🏳️‍⚧️, and to throw the biggest Pride celebration in HISTORY 🎉🌈 makes my eyes water and my heart fill with love.

Because that’s what LGBTQ+ kids need right now. LOVE. Thank you and for reminding every q***r kid (even the q***r kid inside of me 🥺) they are loved. They are seen. And they matter.

THIS IS WHY WE MUST VOTE!

GAY NEWS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ oh my god I can’t believe I got to type that wow I’m crying 🥺😭 ok here we go…

"LGBTQ Americans, especially children: YOU’RE LOVED. YOU’RE HEARD.” President Biden said. “I’m not giving up on this.”

Get ready for what’s coming…because The White House is about to have it’s biggest PRIDE CELEBRATION IN HISTORY ❤️🧡🥹💚💙💜

If you ever questioned how far Republicans will go to hate Trans people…

For months, the Nebraska Senate has done absolutely NOTHING because one women, Senator Machaela Cavanaugh, has single-handedly blocked the them from voting on anything (by using the filibuster) until they throw out their law to ban healthcare for Trans Kids.

Today, Republicans did something disgusting to get around her. They voted to combine the law that bans trans healthcare WITH THEIR 12-WEEK ABORTION BAN.

They are expected to vote on their new law that bans abortion and healthcare for trans kids…tomorrow.

18/05/2023

Breaking Gay News🚨 I am incredibly sorry to report that the second largest state in the country just banned healthcare for trans kids.

The most horrifying part of Texas’ new bill is that they will forcibly detransition trans kids who are already on medicine - requiring them to “wean off” their current medication over an unspecified period of time. That could mean 1 week. We don’t know.

18/05/2023

Breaking Gay News🚨 This is NOT A JOKE. Florida just passed their “SLATE OF HATE” law. It is truly horrifying.

1- Trans ADULTS are effectively banned from getting healthcare. They must get “written consent” from multiple “oversight boards” filled with members selected by the Governor if they want to get healthcare.

The Governor announced this under a “Let Kids Be Kids” sign as he banned healthcare for Adults.

2- Trans kids are banned from getting healthcare.

3- Teachers, Guidance Counselors & school employees are banned from telling students their pronouns, or asking students for their pronouns.

4- Trans people are banned from using a bathroom or locker room in any public facility — from schools to prisons. If they want to go to bathroom, they have to use the bathroom “based on their biological s*x.”

Forcing trans women to use the men’s room is a recipe for genoc1de.

5- Businesses will be shut down & lose their license if they let anyone under 18 into a drag show.

THE TEXT THAT GOT TUCKER CARLSON FIRED. Fox paid nearly $1 Billion to cover this up, as it was going to be Exhibit 276 in the defamation trial, so they settled the case and fired Tucker, knowing that this would leak anyway.

Tucker Carlson is a SICK man who indoctrinated almost half of Americans with his rac1st, h0mophobic, transph0bic lies…every single night.

Thank you for buying me school supplies every year. That was my favorite day. Thank you for cooking for me, even when I became vegetarian, and thank you for buying me Taco Bell.

Thank you for sleeping overnight in Times Square with me so I could meet Britney Spears. I know it was below-freezing and our lips cracked but I will remember that day forever.

Thank you for telling me I’m beautiful. “My beautiful boy,” you’d always say. You still do.

Thank you for smiling ☺️ And thank you for reminding me that I am good enough.

Most kids give their mom a hug. But I got to do it twice…and I am so lucky for that.

Happy International Women’s Day, Moms. I am proud to be your son ❤️

03/03/2023

400 anti-LGBTQ bills in 36 states. They are forcibly detransitioning trans kids. Banning drag shows. Criminalizing trans adults. Legalizing a students & teachers right to bully trans kids (but not cis kids.)

More will pass tomorrow. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, but it WILL get better. We will make sure of it.

To every trans kid, I am SO proud of you. You are worthy. You are loved. And you are STRONG. We have your back. Hold on. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

26 days ago, I fell off my scooter. I thought I was okay.

I was just riding a short distance to the mall & somehow the front wheel got caught in a groove in the road. I could feel myself lose control and - in a split second - I had no choice but to accept it: I’m about to smash into the ground.

The right side of my body fell onto the pavement and I remember the thud. The noise my body made. I didn’t hit my head. Thank god.

I went home to shower & almost fell while turning to grab the body wash. I had a terrible headache but I thought I was okay. I didn’t realize I had a concussion because I didn’t think you could get a concussion without hitting your head. I was wrong. I got a concussion.

It’s been almost a month now and every day is hard to function. The headache, the brain fog, the dizziness. I can barely go into a store or turn my head without feeling like I’m on a merry go round. 🎠 My stomach drops sometimes when I’m just laying in bed like I’m on a bad roller coaster🎢The feeling grabs hold of me and it’s hard to think. It feels like I’ve lost control of my head. I’m really sad.

I had to buy special blue-light glasses to watch TV because otherwise my eyes hurt. I hide in dressing rooms at stores so I don’t get dizzy. (That usually doesn’t work.)

Scooters were my main form of transportation. 🛴💨 I felt so FREE on them. But I’m not sure I will ever ride again. Seems way too risky.

I just want to get better. I’m scared I won’t.

I miss my life. I never knew dizziness and headaches could take so much. I need to try and be positive. It’s just so hard. Ok fine. I’ll try…

I am strong and adaptable. I am smart and creative!!! It’s only been a month and brains are slow to recover. I will find doctors who can help me. And…I think I will start praying 🙏 God is a woman. Maybe she will help me 💕

I’m scared to post this. I don’t know why. But I just want to try and be open and not feel so alone. Thank you so much for reading this. For hearing me. And for being here. I love you ❤️

When I was a little boy, I knew I was different. I liked Britney Spears, they liked Eminem. But I didn’t hate myself for it yet.

One day on the playground in elementary school, I was on the swings and a really nice boy came over and started swinging next to me. Suddenly I felt so…special. For those five minutes I wasn’t alone. I had a friend.

We started talking and he asked me a question. “Do you know what gay means?” I said no. “Oh, because I think you are…” He told me what it meant.

Suddenly, even while the boy continued swinging next to me, I was alone again. I forgot about new friend. It was just me, my gay, and the swing.

I went my whole childhood without friends. One here or there, but mostly, I was alone. Because everyone noticed what that kid on the swings did. I was gay.

But I liked being gay. I knew I couldn’t change it & I knew boys were so cute. I just didn’t like being so alone.

Why am I alone? Why do these kids keep calling me a maggot?

I had no choice, so I just lived my life, gay and alone. But I made a choice to be happy. I graduated from Cornell University, even though my English teacher told me I would never get into a good school. I kissed a boy for the first time. And I graduated with a 4.0.

I met a guy who became my boyfriend. He broke up with me a year and a half later. I got diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy. I met Oprah and Britney Spears. But I still felt like that little boy. Gay and alone.

Until I met you. Suddenly I got all these comments and messages saying I helped you come out. I helped you accept your gender identity. I helped you…feel less alone.

I cried and cried.

You gave my life purpose. So I want to say thank you. Thank you for making my dreams come true. Thank you for watching my videos. And, most of all, thank you for being my friend.

I am so incredibly thankful for YOU

Growing up, I was too scared to paint my nails because I knew people would bully me more than I already was.

But yesterday I did something I’ve never done before. I went to and for the first time ever, I got “nail art.” And I started to get really emotional…

It makes 13-year-old me glow to know there are people out there who will paint my nails without judgement—but with love. She didn’t make fun of me or stare at me. Why would she?! Why do I even think someone would? Because of my childhood.

But my childhood is over.

Yesterday I noticed a lot of people staring at my nails. But I don’t think its because I’m a boy. I think its because they are so beautiful.

Thank you to every Gen-Z’er who gave me the courage to paint my nails by painting theirs. Thank you . And thank you .

I love you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

On my live, I shared a version of my “coming out script” which can be used for inspiration - or exactly, word for word - on how to come out. Trust your gut. This is your coming out, not mine, and not anyone else’s.

After the script, I discuss coming out as trans or a gender identity and also discuss the true purpose behind coming out. It’s not what you think.

🚨Only come out if it is safe physically, financially, and mentally. There is no rush! YOU ARE VALID IN (OR OUT OF) THE CLOSET!

I came out to just one person when I was 13 years old and it was too early…it was a mistake. I waited 4 years before telling anyone ever again. That is OK! You are OK!

TOMORROW the LA court decides if Britney Spears will be FREE😭🙏🎉 We will PROTEST⚠️ if they do not

⚠️13 years ago, Britney’s family claimed she had DEMENTIA (she does not) and the courts stripped Britney of her basic human rights.

She is almost 40 years old and is not allowed to make her own decisions, spend her money, drive a car, have children, go on vacation, or even live in her own home.

Her father locked her up in a 1 star “mental health facility” when she refused to do a specific dance move.
She was forced to sit in a chair for 13 hours every day.

Britney Spears inspired me to be who I am today🏳️‍🌈 She is strong. She is empowered. She is smart. And she is beautiful - inside and out.

It is time. NOW

Britney’s abusive dad was JUST SUSPENDED from the conservatorship which controlled her life for 13 YEARS!!! 🎉🎈🥺🙏

She is TEMPORARILY free from his oversight. He wants over $2 million from Britney before leaving 😂which her lawyer calls “extortion.”

As you may have seen in my recent IGTV, Jamie Spears bugged Britney’s bedroom with a recording device and recorded her interactions with her lawyer, her boyfriend, and her children…

He bribed her with medication and he recently locked her up in a mental health facility against her will because she refused to do a specific dance move.

Britney’s lawyer has called for a FULL INVESTIGATION into Jamie Spears and all parties who abused Britney the past 13 years.

This is a big step. Soon, we will once and for all!!!

(I am a lifelong Britney fan🙏 These are photos of me through the years. The last one is me and Britney’s longtime loving assistant Felicia)
