Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am pleased as punch to have another speaker from
the upcoming Stop the War on Children rally that is
happening October. I should have had this in front of
me and I don't, but I know. It's October fifth
on the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol at
ten a m. It is sponsored by our friends at
Gaze Against Groomers, and one of the speakers is a

(00:22):
person who probably knows way more about drag and drag
shows than I do, and that is Lady Maga Usa.
And Lady Maga welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
First of all, well, hello, Hello, It's an honor to
be here. God bless America, God bless you, and I'm
just so honored to be able to talk to you today.
Thank you for having me on.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well, I'm so glad you could make it, because you
have quite the persona as Lady Maga Usa. Tell me
a little bit about your alter ego.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well, my alter ego is a drag persona. Lady Maga,
you obviously make America great again. And I created this
persona because I've been a drag artist for years and
years than years, but I watched the hijacking of the
gay community by the LGBTQIA ever expanding alphabet, queer nonsense, everything,

(01:19):
and I just couldn't consider myself a member of that
alleged community anymore. I was a closeted Trump supporter. Now,
I grew up Mormon, I'm from Utah. Came out of
the closet as a Mormon. You know that was challenging,
But let me tell you, coming out of the closet
as a gay Trump supporter was one thousand times I'm
not joking. It was one thousand times more difficult. I

(01:41):
lost my entire eight year career in the airline industry.
I lost the whole community of friends I dealt with.
I tried to organize my very first event. They were
threatening to throw bricks in my head. So this community
is just out of control. They are vitriolic, they are aggressive,
and they're not about inclusion and talkerance. They're about cultural dominance.

(02:02):
You will use our pronouns. You are transphobic if you
don't think a thirteen year old girl should get a
mass sectomy. So, as a closet and Trump supporter, I
was like, how can I enter this movement and have
fun and be myself and make a splash and really
make a difference. And we got Senate Bill sixteen passed
here in Utah that made it illegal for predators to

(02:26):
chemically castrate, drug and mutilate children in the name of
gender affirming cares. So you know, it's been five years.
There's been an ups and there's downs, but it's been
quite an adventure. And Lady Magga just makes people happy.
And I'm a man. I don't claim to be I
don't pray to be a woman. No, you know, I
don't belong in women's sports. I don't believe in women's mathems.
I just like to wear a wig and play the

(02:47):
character and be fabulous and have fine.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So let me ask you this, because you know, I
love a good drag show. Some of my favorite times
and memories with my friends have been at drag shows
because they're fun and they're over the top and they
can be body and resay.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
But I was.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Truly baffled when there seemed to be this cultural divideline
of these parents that seemed hell bent on exposing their
little children to that kind of art.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Where did you come where do.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
You come down on that? And when did you realize
that this is kind of entering a new arena.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well, that's another reason I stepped away from the mainstream
drag community, because I saw countless videos of drag queens
in mini skirts, you know, not, sitting with their legs
crossed in front of little children in libraries, invading taxpayer
funded public spaces such as schools and such as libraries.

(03:43):
The taxpayers who are in those schools or who are
visiting that library did not get consent for a sexualized
drag show to be going on in those public venues.
If they're doing it in a private venue, that's sort
of another argument, Like people can take children to it
when are rated movie. I disagree with that, but parental rights.
But when they're in a public library or a public

(04:05):
school or a public place and they're putting on just disgusting,
debaucherous sexual performances, twerking, First of all, it gave drag
a bad name, and second of all, I'm not here
for that. I might there's sort of two types of drag.
There's there's weird people who want to be sexual and

(04:25):
somehow they like to feel sexy and all of that,
and then there's the over the top, campy, silly, comedic
type queens like myself. I've got this big, larger than
life like Barbie persona. I'm covered neck to tell if
I'm going to be in a public place, I have
no desire to sexualize myself, especially in public. So I

(04:47):
just believe that it's all part of the agenda, the
globalist agenda to destroy the family, to destroy our fundamental
Judeo Christian culture in this country. And by confusing children
through Drag Queen's Story Hour, they're pushing a very specific agenda.

(05:07):
They're not reading like Where the Wild Things Are or
Ramona or whatever. They are reading very carefully politically selected
books about erasing gender, confusing children, transgenderism, and topics that
little children should not even be considering. They should be
learning the ABCS. So that's that's my problem with Drag

(05:30):
Queen's Story Hour, and for public performances that they do
in parks. I don't care if you're over the top
and you're some fat black guy and you want to
do Aretha Franklin, nobody cares, literally, like, no one cares.
Good for you use your obesity for a creative cause.
But that being said, we if they had only been

(05:51):
doing that sort of campy over the top silliness. Nobody
would care. So the leat likes to claim that everybody's
anti drag, everybody's it's gonna be illegal. They always tell
me they're gonna put me in a camp, and it's like, no,
if you read the legislation that has to do with
drag or whatever, it's about lewdness and indecency in public.

(06:13):
It's not about your desire to dress up and be
an idiot. You can do that, just don't be a
sick pervert in public in front of kids. Leave the
kids alone. You know it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Lady Maggi Usa is my guest and she will you
be appearing in your full regalia at the Stop the
War on Children rally in October.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I will as much as the novelty of dressing up
has completely worn off. This is sort of the political tool.
No it has like I've done this so much. This
is the political tool that I used to defy the left,
and for example me testifying for Senate Bille sixteen to
protect children from transmutilation in Utah. I can say what

(06:53):
other people can't say. I can say this wig, this makeup,
and this costume does not make me a woman and
I've loved this stuff since I was little, Like I
was born ready to sparkle, you know, I'll dress up barbies,
all that kind of stuff. And one of my primary
messages if you have a child like I was, who's
totally different, who wants to play with dolls, who wants pink,

(07:15):
they are not in the wrong body. They are not
in the wrong body. They're just a fabulous kid who's
a little bit different. But had I been born to
woke parents today, I would have been easily convinced that
I was a girl, and I would have followed everything
they told me, because they groom children into believing that
they're in the wrong body. So by presenting myself as

(07:37):
Lady Maga USA, it really is just a huge defiance
of the left, and it's also a public way of
saying you don't own us. And I only identify as
gay American. First. My bride flag is the American flag.
But as a gay man, common sense gay people have
to stand up, and that includes a drag artist, because
dragon has always been a part of gay culture. Clean

(07:59):
it up, separate ourselves from this terrible, awful, predatory movement
that from the Human Rights Campaign to Glad to the
Democrat Party. Every single lgbt QIA plus plus agenda is
focused on children in twenty twenty four, and that's something

(08:20):
I cannot support.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, let me let me just ask you this, because
you already mentioned the fact that you grew up Mormon.
Mormons have historically been unfriendly to gay folks, not exactly
the warmest welcome, And I ask you that in that
way only to ask what do you say to people
who say, look, if we don't do this, if we
don't normalize every single aspect of the gay community, then

(08:42):
gay children are going to kill themselves, or gay children,
you know, are going to be tortured or in some
way harmed. How do you respond to that when I'm
sure it wasn't the easiest thing in the world for
you to come to your Mormon parents and say, hey,
by the way, i'm gay.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Of course, well, the weaponization of suicidality is their number
one emotionally manipulative tool to convince people that it's death
or its trans hormones. And by the way, you said
gay child, my gay son, my gay whatever. They have
erased the term gay from LGBTQ activism. It is now

(09:18):
the queer community my queer child, and especially my trans
child is gonna kill themselves. You're not gonna hear any
of them say gay anymore. Like they said Ronda Santis
have that don't say gay, Bill. They're the ones who
don't say gay. But I am just I celebrate that divide.
I want good old fashioned gay people, like those of
us who support gays against groomers, to completely step away

(09:42):
and say, look, we want to live our lives. We
want a white picket fence, we want to make the
world fabulous. Will be your hairstylist, you know, if you're
a lesbian, will fix your truck. We have no desire,
we have no desire to indoctrinate your children or impose
our way of life for our sexuality on others. So
they are so good at what they do because they're

(10:05):
able to manipulate the vast majority of the public into
thinking that if you don't encourage hormones, if you don't
encourage a girl to cut off her breast when she's
thirteen years old, I mean, Chloe Cole was fifteen years old,
she'll never recover from that trauma. They say suicide is
the only other option. No, the only other option is

(10:26):
to teach that young person that they are beautiful just
the way they are. Their body is perfect, there is
nothing wrong with them, and that they have been groomed
and convinced by others that there's something wrong with them,
when in fact, they're just different. Save the tomboys, save
the boys like me who are feminine, you know, I
you know, little lip gloss doesn't mean you're a woman.

(10:46):
It just means you're different, and that's okay. So we
can have that conversation about being loving. And as for
growing up Mormon, you know, people often ask me what
that was like and how hard it was. To tell
you the truth, it wasn't hard until after I served
my Mormon mission, because I grew up in this very

(11:06):
safe environment where I did not need to think about
my sexuality. I was in Scouts, I was in church activities.
I was on high adventure hikes, I was in student council,
I was in the school place. Young people, especially teenagers,
their sexuality should not be their focus. Their grade should
be their focus, their school activity should be their focus.

(11:28):
And then I served a Mormon mission in France for
two years, and I was the most devout missionary you
ever met, so I didn't really have to face my
sexuality until after I had served that mission and I
came to terms, and I just never became bitter or
anti Mormon. I view growing up Mormon as this awesome,
uplifting don't drink, don't smoke, don't cuss, don't watch story

(11:51):
to movies. Boo hooo. It was a great upbringing and
I had this safe group of incredible Mormon friends and
this safe environment that I was in, and I don't
regret that. So I just view it as I graduated
the program, and I don't feel like I don't feel
like the Mormons have to change their doctrines. Religious tolerance goes,

(12:11):
tolerance goes both ways, and the LGBTQYA plus does not
believe in tolerance. They would make it illegal for a
church to not accept homosexuality if they could, and that
is not diversity, tolerance and inclusion. That's cultural dominance.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
It was a very quick lead because I have long
advocated for gay marriage. It was a position in other
markets that I was at complete odds with my audience, right,
But for me, the argument was not about church doctrine
as much as it was about legal status. Right, because
we weren't talking at the time of forcing churches to

(12:48):
perform gay marriages. I always said, I'll be the first
on that protest line too if you try to force it.
But the speed with which we went from we just
want to be able to marry the people that we
want to marry too. You not only must accept us,
but must celebrate our life and who we are has
been pretty remarkable to watch, and hearing you talk about

(13:10):
it from your perspective kind of confirms what I already knew.
It's like, it feels like the activists and all of
the normal gay people that I've known my entire life
who really did just want.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
To get married.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
They got it done, and they all kind of went, huh, okay,
we're just gonna sit back and be married now. And
the activists were like, oh no, we're just getting started.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
That's exactly right. You know, the religious rite often talks
about the slippery slope, and I'm like, well, wola, you
guys are vindicated. However, However, that being said, the game
the gay issue was over. Nobody cared if your neighbors
were lesbians, you know, wearing their flannel with their short hair.

(13:53):
Nobody cared. Nobody cared about their gay cousin, their gay nephew.
It was a non issue. We achieved our goal of
just being able to visit our partner in the emergency
room get married. My opinion is the government should never
have had anything to do with marriage. I'm libertarian on that,
but I won't go into that. But you know, we
reached a point where we did have common sense integration

(14:15):
into society. That is why that is why Glad Human
Rights Campaign, Democrat Party. They realized, holy moly, the gay
victim narrative no longer works, and we're not going to
have our We're not going to have our millions and
millions of dollars in funding. We need to accelerate a

(14:36):
new victim narrative because perpetual victimization is very lucrative. That's
one and two. Big Pharma is making billions of dollars
off of these evil drugs that they're pumping into children
and adults. And so that is why the LGBTQ alphabet
kept expanding, and now they have this new queer definition

(15:00):
which is just straight people in the old days. No,
I'm serious. The people who shopped at Hot Topic are
now LGBTQ because they get to identify as queer or
whatever they want, and really they're just straight people who
want attention, and especially white people who want attention because
white people can't be special. They don't get to be

(15:21):
a minority, they don't get to be black powered, they
don't get to be a Latino. So the only way
they get to join the trendy victim Olympics is by
identifying as queer. So you put on a little black
nail polish and suddenly you're part of the LGBTQ community
and that gives the activist at the Human Rights Campaign
way more power.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Now, Lady Maggia USA is going to be at the
rally to stop the War on Children. It's happening October
fifth at the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol
at ten am. She is just one of a long
line of speakers that will be it's gonna be boming here. Hey, well,
you know, I was just trying to be respectful.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well, the persona is obviously a female character, but I
always make sure people are comfortable knowing that they never
have to refer to me as she. The characters obviously
a female character, but I just the pronoun Nazis are terrifying,
so I just make sure you could just call me
a man, whether I'm wearing makeup and a wig or not.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
All right, thank you for that. I appreciate that. I
hope everybody supports this, Lady Maga USA. Thank you for
your time. You are outstanding.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Well. Thank you. Be sure to follow me on Twitter
one word Lady Maga USA and on Facebook Lady Maga Usa.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
All right, thank you sir, and we'll meet again.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
God bless you. I can't wait to meet you in person.
All right, thank you.
