Thank you all SO so much for all the love and support on this video. It's a really special and important song to me and thanks so much for helping me share it and spread the word! You can follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/dorianelectra/ and Twitter: twitter.com/DORIANELECTRA for more
@day6creation breathing whos doing that? God (if he exists) is great for creating us and this work of Art. God isn`t the culprit. Think about it and you will eventually realize that you aren`t worshipping god but that what the church told you to. :-*
My birth name is Eve. This is hitting me on a whole different level, I just came out as trans to my strictly christian dad and this song feels like a satisfying, tough love slap to his brain.
okay i'm always obsessed with dorian's stuff to begin with but this is like next level i'm-- even the routine head smashing was next level, what did we do to deserve them
@@gabegardner94 I mean you basically can infer it from, "God made me just like Adam and Steve". You don't always need to say it directly. Context is important.
This is the only music video that makes me cry every time I watch. There is so much power in a queer person shouting “god made me, and he loves me”- defending that they are not the creator’s bastard, but Its child, as sacred as any other. It hits me incredibly close. Thank you, Dorian.
Yes, I come back to this song from time to time too. It came out around the time i fled the fundie christian house hold i was raised in. I was playing this song plus the whole album a lot then and it really helped me stay confidant in the face of my situation. I've given up on the idea of organised religion, but at the time this song really triggered something in me. A thought that maybe God doesn't hate me for my inherit feelings
i know this and Montero gave nothing to do with each other, but i like the duality between them. this ends with Dorian in heaven despite all the hate throwing his way Montero ends like "you want me to go to Hell? okay, but i might as well get comfortable down there"
as a cis-gendered straight man i am so happy to see those who are under represented in this society make it big. i love your aesthetic. i love your music. keep it up Dorian. great work.
we're just glad to see our community be accepted and have creations from us enjoyed even more everyday, so thank you for appreciating non-cishet works as well!
I grew up believing God/Jesus would hate me for being queer... I never thought Christianity and queerness could be together.. and while I'm not a Christian anymore, this song hits me so damn hard. If only I could show this to younger me, who believed God hated me for who I was. But God made me, and He loves me
So, conundrum for you. Dorian is gender fluid with female genitalia. So she says she is a dude who is gay but with female parts. So when Dorian has sex with a gay dude is it straight sex ,🤔
@@ShatteredDiscoBall no I didn't say that at all. Read my conundrum. Another conundrum. If she identifies as a gay guy while having sex with a straight dude with female genitalia does that make her the equivalent to James Charles. I don't know her pronoun so I'm saying she. She really be doing this big brain gender shape shifting shit on these straight and gay dudes
As an east asian, that peach on the tree is quite interesting. In ancient east asia, peach considered as holy tree because people believed that peach tree can expel the ghosts. And in many myth stories say that peach is for xians and they eat it to live forever. There's a lot of old stories related to peach. So for me it is a verrrry interesting choice! Though I gotta think more to figure out what Dorian meant this for 😅
Yh C wow! I didn't know this - super interesting! I meant it more like a mix between the traditional forbidden fruit and the emoji representing a butt. Haha💙
"They want to destroy me they will all enjoy it Say I'm an abomination but I'm god's creation They all want to crush me say I am so disgusting Secretly they love me just like him" I typically don't cry anymore but this part brought out a tear from me
In a way it isn't, I mean it is preaching the bible. God made everyone and god loves everyone, it's just doing it in a way that shows how hypocritical many christians are.
I think it may be heretical - (against official church doctrine) but maybe not actually blasphemous (i.e. showing a lack of reverence for "god") (?) at least that was my intention :) but what do y'all think?
DORIAN ELECTRA First off, absolutely love the video, you did an amazing job here, and this is possibly my favourite album of the year. I was mostly joking when I left my initial comment, but the things that stood out to me as maybe being ‘blasphemous’ were things like the blood on the text in the church, stripper poles in heaven (I love it lol). So I suppose just the use of symbols in a way that might be traditionally viewed as against god wishes? I think the imagery of the self flagellation is so beautiful and concise in representing the guilt put on people due to gender identity / sexual orientation. It makes you feel for the people who grew up in religious households but were made to feel bad about being who they are. The fact that these people are made to feel they have to repent for harmlessly being themselves is absurd and I think this video illustrates that quite well. Makes me think of the fact that religious institutions are going to have to be more accepting if they plan to maintain relevance.
I'm bigender trans gender-fluid and this is the first time I've felt representation by anyone in any form of media, and yes I go to church and yes I cried when I saw and heard this. This is giving me courage to be more seen.
i wish this song was there for me when i was 14 and so endoctrinated into christianity that i hated myself for something i couldn't change, and for something that i should've never been ashamed of to begin with. this song hits home
@@jeremyadamic5660 Self-love is a long and difficult process, especially for gay/trans people... But you will get there, in the meantime, don't blame yourself for struggling, do not blame yourself for any self-loathing you may feel, these feelings are a part of your struggle to getting better, accept them so that you can slowly let them go. Be close to those who cherish you for everything that you are, find them if don't have that support in your life, whether that's online or in real life. Remind yourself every single day that you are beautiful, that you're worthy of love from yourself and from others, even if you don't believe these thoughts in your own heart, with time, you'll start to convince yourself that they're true... A piece of advice, you should never have to fight for others to accept and love you, don't waste your energy on people who only feel contempt towards who you are, they do not deserve your efforts in trying to get them to love you... It may be a long journey, but humans are adaptive creatures, you're evolutionarily destined to get better, to be happier. In due time, my friend. Good luck! I for one know that you are beautiful and deserving of everything good in this world, no matter any faults in your life. You're valuable.
I'm nonbinary they/them muslim but this song makes me and my heart cry, bless you Dorian Electra you also have literally the best trans name.... ever???
God idk if Dorian will ever see this but this song has done so much for my self-esteem and dismantling internalized homophobia since I grew in a conservative religious family. Thank you it helps so much.
Hey, just wanted to say this song has impacted me on a deep level. I've always had a lot of affection towards gay and bisexual people, and while I've been nothing but loving and affirming of my transgender/transsexual friends, I never really understood what it is to be trans. I hate to say this, but I regarded trans people with skepticism in my heart. Now that I've listened to your music as well as 100 gecs, it encouraged me to learn more about trans culture. I've come to a place that I no longer have any doubts, I fully accept being trans is healthy and valid, and if my future child wanted to transition or felt gender fluid, I would love them just the exact same. God does not make mistakes.
I can't tell you what this song means to me. I was raised extremely religious (Christian) and hearing just the lines "And God made me... and he loves me" somehow means more to me than anything I was taught, like it's real. Thank you Dorian for writing this
Dorian I keep coming back to this video it’s so beautifully subversive. I grew up deeply religious and it gives me chills and makes me almost cry every time I hear this song. I have struggled for so long to accept myself as gay and this encapsulates my pain. this is true art.
I love this cause hes right, God loves LQBT as one of his children. God made everyone his masterpiece and he thinks we are the most beautiful thing in the universe. If everyone ever says God hates you ignore them because there is nothing you could do to make God stop loving you.
ライリーReilly like in LGBTQ, you kinda skipped the G lmao And I now notice you put Q instead of it and not at the end, so Deliberate choice? Queer instead of Gay?
I don't know how, but you have struck this intricate balance between a face-value statement of divine acceptance, and critical subversion, and very slight taking the piss? It's like a perfectly respectful dissent. It could be entirely secular or deeply religious and I love that I don't know which you actually intended (both??). Well done, A+, I am going to come back and watch this many times more. It's beautiful and you're beautiful and if there is a god I know they would love you dearly!
I'm Christian and nb/pan, I understood it as an affirmation of God's love but a criticism of church dogma (particularly Catholicism) God made us all perfect, if humans can't accept who we are then that's their problem
The lyric of "Madame and Eve" at the end of the song, as well as "God made me gay." honestly made me burst into happy and loving tears when I re-listened to this today... This song made me feel so seen when it first came out... I listened to the song so much back then, particularly when when I was coming to terms with the fact that I am a lesbian, as well as being an agnostic within a family of religious relatives in a particularly conservative town. The fear and uncertainty I felt in myself around others just got to me so much... Music and art was my only true escape. Coming back now, I'm even more certain within myself, as I am now an agnostic genderfluid, demisexual, demiromantic, polyamorous lesbian. This song means so much to me in many ways...
i've watched this and all your videos everyday for the last week because ive never seen a transmasc person running shit this way before, in the center and reclaiming everything thats theirs. growing up i thought trans people would always have to be 100% binary and passing to be creatively accepted or even get a chance at commercial success. i had given up all my dreams of being a musician for this reason. not only is this inspiring but it has set a new precedent for all of pop culture, that trans is too powerful and persistent to be repressed or ignored, where trans people will now get a turn taking leading and producing roles in all forms of art. thank you and your entire team for dedicating so much hard work to producing this album and its videos. i have never seen anything like this in my life, and it moves me to tears. you have a sincere and vibrant vision of pop music that has revitalized the integrity of the genre moving into the future, and introduced a new archetype of pop personification. thank you for showing people they're allowed to invent themselves and for bringing this iconic transmasc imagery to the forefront of pop. you can never know how much this truly means to young trans people.
The amount of thought Dorian puts into their videos is amazing. The visuals are always so beautiful and thought out. Especially the exorcism scene, it was stunning and captivating.
It came to me through a series of strange coincidences, so I feel like it's God himself telling me he loves me even though I'm not cis/straight Definitely brings tears to my eyes
I'm not the exact demographic to expect this to hit hard, but as the pivotal point of our estrangement from family of origin was our Christian nan laughing at our coming out before we cut everyone off and then she died, maybe there's some religious trauma passed down there. Family was mostly secular but our gay uncle was essentially closeted by them even though everyone knew and even he kinda rejected us so yeah.. We cry at it.
Omg you need to hear their hidden gems and older music, too. A couple of my faves that deserve more recognition: Mind Body Problem 💕 Jackpot Clitopia 2 Fast Vibrator
i was literally too scared to watch this for a long time because i wasnt sure i could handle the raw power. this bones to the high heavens and ive leveled up
I've listened to this at least 100 times in the past couple of days. I think the most important part of this is that G-d loves everyone. I don't believe G-d would create people in a way They wouldn't love.
I'm heterosexual and listen to rap, when my friends heard and saw this they looked at me weird but I don't care. I know what the song Musical Genius meant. You were right Dorian. You're a god of whatever genre this is but i don't even care, the quality is so good and as an artist myself I feel very inspired. Your music videos are another thing, such good direction.
Honestly the I think that Montero's video is rather underwhelming compared to this. When I watched it, all along I thought about how it felt like a watered-down version of Adam and Steve.
Strange thing: lyrics says "God made me, and HE loves me", but listening to this song at the first time i clearly heard "and IT loves me" which fits the context perfectly as a glimpse of forbidden knowledge of God's nonbinary identity.
this makes me cry but also it's very iconic. Seeing myself as something beautiful and an abomination and holy all at once hits me in a place i didn't know i had, and heals a hole in my heart i didn't know was there
