- I’ve asked total strangers about unfair stereotypes of the lgbtq+ and Christian communities, here’s what they had to say!
Thanks for being my videographer @TristanKuhn, make sure you check out the video we did over on his channel!

Had such a great time doing this video with you! It’s cool hearing strangers thoughts on this matter
Before I watch the video I just want to say this is a pretty bold idea and scary one to do 😱
I thought we would run into at least a few rude people but everyone we talked to was super chill ✌🏻
@@josephgarner94 - But darn near everyone you asked was younger, open minded or Gay, with what looks like the Austin or Dallas skyline in the background. I’m in Dallas, ask most inner city people these questions and they will answer politely and with open mind. Go an hour in any direction to say Sanger, and you’ll be facing some harassment, rude responses and open intolerance.
Edit. The queen in front of the shop who said he wasn’t gay... Get TF outta town, LOL!
Kudos to you for having the balls to ask random people questions on such sensitive subjects.
Love these comments from strangers, Joseph, & your courage to interview them on these subjects! ♥♥
Oh man! I saw the video title and immediately wondered to myself why nice sweet Joseph would knowingly wander into such a minefield on purpose. However, that turned out really nice. It was inspirational. Well done!!
Awe that’s sweet, thank you 🙏🏻
Such a great vid, keep them coming.
I know a Christian who is very accepting and in favor of LGBTQ+, though I don't know if he has LGBTQ+ family. But that doesn't matter.
This really made my day. Thank you, Joseph!
Thumbs up Joseph! You did a great job and I enjoyed the video!
You captured the prevelant perspectives on both of those questions which seem to be primarily on the same page. I hope your parents fully embrace your orientation & religious degree of faith (or limit of it). If only you came out earlier...if only! Hey, go forward from where ur at now & continue enjoying life!
I'm Muslim and gay, grew up going to mosques and madrasa
(Haven't come out to my family yet)
Don’t.
Your religion is the most hostile and hateful towards gays on the planet. Do not come out unless you are financially independent and don’t need your family for ANYTHING. Oh and when you do come out, it wouldn’t hurt to be armed.
@@sandsmarc it depends on how their culture value, Indonesia largest muslim population do respect them.
but i do noticed there's intolerance growing not only by muslim but also all religious group in my country.
Very nice video! Keep it up!
Great video Joseph... and brave. As a catholic I carried a lot of guilt about my sexuality (I also grew up in a very different time lol) But I know many people who are genuinely accepted by their church, so times they are a changin’...
Two complex topics, I challenge people frequently with the collision of Christianity and the LGBTQ community with the intention of teaching. I say if your using the Bible as an excuse to hate someone you didnt read it. Judgemental Christians give the rest of us a bad name sadly. Thanks for the video, was incourging!
Really good work, Joseph!! 🌠
Thankful you put this out there , My Fav YT channel ❤️
Awe 🖤
This was very educational. Thank you.
Also I always love watching your videos you're amazing keep on doing what you enjoy doing, and hope one day that we can meet each other in person some time soon, and get to know one and another better.
Very cool topic and interviews. So what's next? Are we going to see you as a reporter on CNN?😁😘
Love you boy! Keep up the great work, and be safe!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very interesting. You're a natural with a microphone. More!
Thanks, Joseph, for your willingness to take on issues like these, especially the last question about whether you can be both gay and Christian? I have identified myself as being a Christian for longer than I have identified as being gay. When I realized I was gay, my relationship with God did not change at all, despite all of the messages that I was receiving that said that the two were incompatible. At that time I was also on active duty in the Army and the official position was that homosexuality was incompatible with military service. Well the long and the short of it was that I stayed closeted in the Army and in the church for quite a while. I now go to a church which officially says that "all are welcome." Recently I outed myself completely by doing a presentation on being gay and being Christian and challenged people to make sure they knew what they meant that gays were welcome. Does that come, for example, with conditions? Will you merely tolerate me as long as I "behave" and don't hold a boyfriend's hand or even mention him during coffee hour. It is bold to ask strangers questions like these, but in some cases it is even more scary to ask people who know you these same questions and challenge them to answer honestly. By the way, one of my favorite stereotypes about gays is that we constantly trying to recruit others to come over to our "team."
I absolutely love this video thank you so much for doing it ❤️💜💚🌈👍👍
I would enjoy a video where you interview gay married Episcopalian priest. Episcopalians are American Anglicans and are very Christ centered, love oriented, traditional Christian and embrace Same sex love.
I think I want to move to Austin. What great, thoughtful responses! I don't know if you could do that in Houston. (I live near H town in Spring)
Haha I do love Austin, there are some great people here!
I have to laugh because some people in this interview is the same as Tristan. Sure different questions and topics that gives your viewer's something more to think about an listen more. Great video Joseph and would love to see more like this along with Tristan's channel ad well.
Lol yes we definitely used some of the same people that were willing to answer more questions.
Great video, Joseph
Great video!
Thank you:)
Great video Joseph! Stay safe. ❤❤❤
🖤🖤🖤
Black heart's... what does that mean?
@@yamahamasterfz same as red hearts ♥️
@@josephgarner94 Thanks for not trying to kill me three times?.....
I loved the video so much
Very interesting interviews. The subject is always a hit or miss with people. You found a younger more liberal group. Why are you and Tristan Kuhn not dating?
Good interview and good questions. Limited cross section of people. But I don’t think Interviewing bums sitting on the sidewalk is identifiable to your viewers. It was something new and interesting. I enjoyed it.
Zilker Park in Austin is like thee most liberal place in Texas, hands down and what is really weird is that many LGBT citizens who live here in Austin work for the state and subsequently have some say so about state matters. For instance, there has never been a problem with a gay couple becoming a foster parent. It is funny however how conservative republicans always portrait run down Detroit as the example of liberal democrats. When I see these commercials I say to myself well, what about New York City, Boston, Miami, Austin, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles - they are all liberal democrat led cities. They might have some issues but they are all powerhouses - LOL
Fantastic, stupendous, magnificent !!!!! See that guy out your window doing continuous naked backflips....that's me being overjoyed. Due to being brutally outed in Jr. High, and believing in my absolute innocence, I studied and questioned environmental, religious and governmental implications and came to the conclusion the truth known and lived by the LGBT community would allow humanity to evolve into a new world order. You have proven you care and you think, and you don't go for being a guy trying to be a bad imitation of a woman. Question me any way you want, but I don't think anyone can fault this truth. Good Grief man, can we talk.
Joseph, YOU are AMAZING. I'd like to tell you my personal story, but I am not going to post it here.
Good job, #Joseph! Great film. You are so sweet.
I would like to know more about YOUR faith and story! Do you still consider yourself Mormon, or Christian for that matter? Have you been disfellowshipped or excommunicated? Have you done like I did. and have your name taken off church records? What effect has accepting your sexuality had on your faith?
Lots of hard hitting questions! Stay tuned because my next video is going to be “answering all the questions I’ve been avoiding.” 😬
@@josephgarner94 I hope that you don't think I prying too much, I just think that your story is and can be inspirational to others! I expected that you would eventually talk about these things! You were still just in the "discovery" phase of sorting everything out yourself! Thanks again!
@@brian52763 Joe's young "in gay years", but has made great strides related to your question. As time goes on, he will open up & share current opinions with us, that naturally make sense. Having been LDS, he's still in the discovery gay phase for even a 2-yr Alaskan Missionary Servant. Do now, he'll be in the normal enjoyment of LGBT life, just wait, you'll see.
It takes a lot of guts to be asking these questions of strangers. I would be too inhibited to be asking these questions or answering them on camera
Is it bad I was kind hoping for at least one super rude person? It would make interesting content for sure 😅
you did an awsome job there joseph
Thanks Kerry!
thanks for this video I enjoyed it a lot. I support the lgbtq community even through I am the member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I do feel like there are some judgmental members of the Church and Christens but there are a lot others that are not. I feel like we should accept everyone of their differences because I know Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father would. I feel like we talk about not judging other by what their doing or what mistake they did or the kind of person they are because we're not prefect. But some of us forget about that lessons we are taught. Accouple weeks ago one of my friends shard a message about we need to love everyone including the LGBTQ community, and give them more support, love and that they disserve to be treated better, and loved as any of us because they are people too, and Gods children too just like we all. We are all children of God the Father, and we need to show it. I can't remember what ells he said but I 100% agree with him. I wish we could all work, and live together with out haltered and fear. Sorry for this long comment but I just what you to know you and the other gay community that your are not alone I'm her, and there's other that are here for all of you. We should all live in Harmony and love with one with each other. I just want you to know not all members of the Church are judge mantle there are lots of good ones you just need to find them. Anyways Hope all goes well for you, and you have a great day.
Hi garmer good video👍
Why This video didn't appear on my recommended page though 🤔
2:13 I loved that girl 😂!
💙
Just curious, but did anyone refuse to answer these questions? If so, what percentage?
Out of the 13 people we asked only one said no.
"An unfair stereotype against pastors, is how they handke their money."
Not gonna lie, this made me thing of a few characters and a certain Baptist mega-church wannabe in Anchorage. 🤣
*I would be really interested in hearing the perspective on the rise of Christian Nationalism over the past few years.*
Look at the rock strata in the intro. Evidence that the ground is millions to billions years old

Great to see your video and that your okay through all you've bee through. Radical religious conservatism what you're describing was also life in the 70s. Nothing has changed, apparently. A very important movie and read on sexuality and religion is the book and movie "Prayers for Bobby." But in it, an Evangelical mom finally gets what you are saying only after losing her son. May God bless you and always be with you. He loves you so much, just the way you are. Here is a Word from the Lord he gave after a 30 minute near-death experience, "“Can a mother forget her child? Should she not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, though a mother forget her child, I will not abandon you." Isaiah 49:14 In my near-death experience (see" Proof of the Afterlife 2") God the Father speaks and reveals himself as my Father behind a gray screen, "I will not abandon you" and "A Message of Mercy." The people of our world, ourselves and our parents are all, 100% severely disordered. The only constant is love. God is love. Unfortunately, even our friends and partners will fail us (as you already discovered) from time to time or all the time. God is the only single everything that we can surely count on. You are loved. You are a child of the Father. He is yours and you are His.
woah wait how tall is Joe?? 👀 👀
I’m a tall boi, almost 6’1
Watch out for the King. 🤗. He has been sighted wandering around down there. 🤗. The Jaguar is the undisputed King of Texas. 🤗. He is slowly, (but surely), making a comeback to Texas. 🤗. He and his Queen both. 🤗. Please be careful if you see Him or the Queen down in Texas. 🤗
Hello my name is Albert Dodson writing you about how are you doing today I'm a gay male myself and need help me come out
I would love to go to church with you.
How about some Christians insist upon everybody living according to their beliefs, yet if you were to do the same thing with people who believe in Islam they would be the first to protest.
I've never 'disliked' any of your videos before so it was difficult to dislike this one but with only 2 options I would have preferred a more neutral choice. My main grievance was it seems you chose mostly young and all (mostly?) white people to interview. As an older, gay latino male and father of 2 girls I am interested in hearing points of view from a diverse pool of individuals and not just the demographic represented here but those from my end of the pool. However please keep up your good work.
Tbh we were just asking whoever was at the park that day.
I'm asking as someone who's learning English... But the frase "Those type of people" is ok? Sounds a bit bitchy to my foreign ears... No?
Austin, as a general rule, is pretty liberal. you should come over here to College Station and ask those questions away from campus, you will get different results.
It’s true, the answers would have been different in Utah too
There is no reason to be part of a religion that by definition hates you in their official written doctrines. You can cherry pick the doctrine, but reality is reality. The bottom line is faith is not a good reason for believing anything. We should all require demonstrable evidence to support any and all beliefs. Deity claims do not hold up and never have. We are the God of our lives, there is no one to pray to and no one to “take care of you”. That’s just simple basic observed reality.
