Kinky Boots New Viral Video Sings It’s ‘Just Pee’
Transphobes got you down? Let this bathroom-ography inspire you.
Maybe what we've needed is a musical response to get through to the transphobes.
The Tony-winning Broadway stars at Kinky Boots have put together an elaborate response to the bathroom panic that's criss-crossing the nation -- especially North Carolina. It includes a message from the show's creators Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper.
Said Fierstein in a scathing post on Facebook:
"So, you don't like transgender people? Have the balls to honestly say it. Today's bathroom controversy is fueled by the same bigots that sought to ban gay and lesbian teachers forty years ago. All these years later they're still hiding behind the claim that they're only protecting their children. These discussions are great opportunities to educate and strengthen the bonds that make us all one human family. But when I see discussions on social media proposing a Men's Room for adult males, a Ladies' Room for adult females, a Little Girls's Room for little girls, a little Boy's Room for little boys and then another pair of bathrooms for Little Boys with a parent and Little Girls with a parent... Well, it's time to take a step back and laugh at our own absurdity. This video is a reminder that sometimes we go to the bathroom just to pee."
"You can change the world when you change your mind," was the message posted by Kinky Boots to Facebook with the video, using hashtag #JustPee. A mere 10 hours after the video went live on Friday, it had already racked up 1.6 million views on Facebook.
