The Fight for Anti-LGBTQ+ Rights in Arkansas | The Daily Show 

Well said.

Your statement in “quotations” really should be a billboard in that town.

Hit the nail on the head there.

Privilege is one thing, but too many are accustomed to bigotry... When you're accustomed to bigotry, equality feels like assault and persecution? *Shudders*

Beautifully put

🥰Me. 😎 I also expected that strangely-coiffed man with the moustache in the immaculate suit with the effeminate mannerisms to be gayer than me, and I don't think I was wrong. 🤩

@@ixlnxs Well he was a bit sweaty!😉

@@philiplacey5430 and the suit was very much not immaculate

Pleasantly surprised

She honestly seems like a lovely person to have a Sunday brunch with

"you feel like it's looming over you" someone get this man an Emmy

I could watch it a million times. It is perfection.

When you're clueless, you're unaware that you're clueless.

The Daily Show has been amazing at this skill since the Jon Stewart days! It's like watching the Jedi mind trick being done over and over and it never gets old. Jordan Klepper at the Trump rallies was my favorite sit-com during the 2016 and 2020 election seasons.

Someone should find a giant inflatable rainbow and stretch it out across the outstretched hands of the giant statue.

By the presence of people in the stands I presume his congregation is not the most abundant.

I doubt it. These are the bible thumping evangelical types. It's an interesting city and beautiful. Also a favorite stay for biker's. You'll see many hotels advertising they "welcome bikers". It's eclectic for sure.

@@Braun30 The Christ of the Ozarks is a big tourist attraction for Christians or anyone that wants a close up view. It's on several acres and has other stuff and stores. I'm sure his congregation is full. They have that outdoor Passion Play twice a week in the warmer seasons. Eureka Springs is quite unique. I used to tell people to not confuse it with the State of Arkansas.

Maybe not his congregation, but a large number of Christians in the city for sure

I looked to find out more about her. Sadly, she died less than a year after the interview

@@shauntheobald8546 That is so sad. She was so vibrant.

Can confirm as a fellow Arkansan, though NWA where I live is slowly getting more and more liberal I guess

As a straight woman, I've used men's bathrooms when I couldn't wait in line to use the woman's. When ya gotta go ya gotta go.

And freedom to deny others their freedom.

@@Highley1958 speaking facts

And if so, I GENUINELY wanna know why you guys don't accept people who don't support you?

You don’t accept us, so why is it wrong for us to not accept you ?

​@@nxbxxha_1764 "I think transgenderism should be banned and women shouldn't vote" "Why don't transgenders and women accept me?"

Yes

The grandma we deserved was Betty White. So now she with Jesus I guess

Compare Joyce Zeller to Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses... Zeller is the type of small town American we need to be celebrating!

When I saw her name was Joyce I was like no please don't let this auntie be homophobic 🥺 but she was normal 😁

But she didn't understand sarcasm

Probably worried someone might flush some classified papers. Trying to flush 11 or 13 times.

That woman is probably Christian and Conservative herself. She just isn't nuts.

And hits the nail on the head, too.

I'm still waiting for that 3rd bathroom Obama promised.

Totally. I love how this team gets their points across

@@cavemanlawyer5608 your childhood probably wasn't perfect either.

But what Bible thumper can tell the world what’s really happening right now with purgatory politics and what changes are happening in afterlife right now???

She was awesome. I looked her up and she passed away. This was from 2015.

Without getting hostile what does real one even mean

@@bonerthebarbarian7872 in this case, that she’s a genuine, open-minded & kind human being.

Agreed. Protect her at all costs!

@@YoliGSXR that's so sad she was such a sweet heart in the video.

Missouri a wannabe Texas could use her also.

AND who steadfastly obeys separation of church and state and doesn’t even entertain a conversation about BS “religious discrimination” . I mean the tolerance and kindness is there but ultimately she like a Supreme Court justice like “legally we can’t cater our laws to what this guy says is Christian values”

I died when she asked that

That was priceless. LOL

Yes!🤣😅😂 She's a gem!❤

@@markdavis7397 , rainbow sherbet should be all inclusive.

RIP AMERICA, TOO MUCH LIBERALS

My house only has one restroom for guests. I have yet to hear a complaint.

@@edwardmitchell6581 my house also has non-gendered bathrooms And i gotta say 🧍🏼‍♀️ i need to get my own bathroom Not gendered, just not for anyone but me

It's hilarious and the funniest part is that they are PUBLIC BATHROOMS, where you don't even have an expectation about privacy and there's no laws that say men can't enter women's rooms or vice versa, so they truly just want something else to WHINE about other than abortion and their delusional sky Fairy's existence or lack thereof...

@@ColonPal The line to the men's room are generally much shorter than for women. I remember being at places where women used the men's room when the line for the ladies room was too long.

@@EMCain-rz6kv That's right. As a courtesy in those situations, I would always allow women to use the men's while I stayed watch outside. This is why the 'transgender bathroom' nonsense is such a NON-issue. Women who are 'uncomfortable' sharing the PUBLIC bathroom with ANYONE who needs to use it regardless of gender, don't need a new law, they need a therapist to treat their glowing transphobia and teach them how to behave like an adult in public. Transgender women keep biological women safe, so they don't have to worry about men rapists or pedophiles. Transgender women serve this duty out of the kindness of their hearts and biological women should be THANKFUL! And treat their irrational fears with therapy or education.

And most of them haven't a clue...

In what way? You don't make sense.

She understood. She was playing along.

Conservatives would lose their minds if they knew that things in languages such as Spanish are labeled as masculine, feminine, or neutral 🤣

This is actually the 100% correct response to what Jordan was saying though. Ice cream is gender neutral which means it can’t possibly be homosexual or heterosexual. That was a perfect response by her whether she was playing along or not 🤗

Lol

I love her! ❤️

Excellent point!

You would think

THIS!

AMEN!!!

Freedom of religion means I shouldn't have to accept or serve you if it goes against my religion and you can't shout in my face for that.

When you never leave the little circle of people who will agree with everything you say, your critical thinking skills never develop.

Nope

Not alone at all. I get the feeling she would be a riot to talk to, as my grandmother would say.

YES America... yes, yes, yes

Yes, you’re the only one.

Most women usually feel insulted when referred to as old.

“Irony” seems too kind a description for this nimnull with a hymnal-more like “hypocrisy”.

@@PC-kd7dj "Mimnull with a hymnal" hahahaha love it.

Lol yes I love that about him

Low key seems like the people he interviews are actors like its that level of putting words in their mouth

LOW IQs of the people he interviews helps a lot

I know what trans people are doing in the bathroom after using it. Washing their hands, obviously.

No one ever follows thru with the screwball notion that "you must use the bathroom associated to your gender at birth". Just imagine the reality of a group of butch, muscular, manly F2M trans men following that rule. Actually I'd LOVE to witness the outrage that would ensue. Wish Jordan would get THAT group together

"for some reason, conservative religious people are terrible hung up on bathrooms"

@@Midnight-Starfish washing hands?? Ridiculous. And blasphemy!!!

Are you comfortable sharing a public restroom with a man?

Because the other side is hung up on it even more. If they weren't, there wouldn't have been this issue to begin with

@@injamulazad6379 One side says let people use the bathroom that matches who they are and the other wants genital inspection and ID passports to us the restroom. Which one of those is harder to implement and more insane?

Conservative religious people are known for putting hidden cameras in public bathrooms. They just want see what is going on. The thing is I don't know why they pull their pants down when they are watching.

@@injamulazad6379 One side is fighting to oppress, the other is fighting for equality. I know EXACTLY which side YOU are on - Let's go fascist!

Right? I was sure right up to the end that it was going to turn out that the guy was being sarcastic.

glad i wasnt the only one picking up on his cues.... wonder how long til he knows

You saw that too

Yepperz..

@D Thank you for your thoughtful words about the Councilwoman and age! In fact some of us most liberal and thoughtful ladies came from the 70's. It's so great that she made this impact on all you younger people. She, and Jordan and you D make me proud! 🙂

maybe you need a slightly larger, less bias, sample to make that assertion :)

@@lumagethebest If they were trying to argue there's no correlation between age and homophobia I would agree with you, but I think their point is more that it isn't age that makes people homophobic but a refusal to adapt. Sample size doesn't really have anything to do with it.

@@lumagethebest why? They’re not saying that only people from a certain age group can be homophobic, they’re saying that age isn’t an acceptable excuse for bigotry and saying “they’re just from a different time” is a cop out.

@@brandonwalker379 who's saying that? I'm just pointing out that you can't support or disprove the relationship between bigotry and age with a one person sample

Sadly she died, in 2016. TDS should have added something about that in the segment, like a few words written in the screen at the end, since they're reposting it.

@@grumbles that's dampening the joy, though. I bet they considered, then decided against it.

@@Weirdkauz True. Maybe just in the description of the video then? I thought it was a new video until I looked her up because I wanted to tell her how awesome she is.

@@grumbles I checked the description, it really IS a new video! And nothing of her passing anywhere... they should have put a memoriam somewhere, I totally agree. I also like to tell ppl how awesome they are, btw., much better strategy than trolling or even reasonable complaining. Makes for a nicer world, too

People who support LGBTQ: Angels from above People slightly uncomfortable with the idea: Apparently demons. I mean comeo n. He has freedom of speech. He should be allowed to make his point. Is it justified to bash on someone because their opinion doesn't align with yours?

i know feminist r so privilege & they still whine

👍

Best quote of the day sir .

@@amant7963 huh?

Is like to give you 1000 thousand likes for this comment. It's priceless

She really was. She was family and she was not afraid to call me out when i was being an idiot.

No kidding

I mean.. the dude is pretty literally the punchline to a cliche joke himself (I'm sure I don't need to point it out lol)

You can't refer to anything as 'gold' anymore because that's precious metalist.

yeah stop being gold medalist. wait that didn't come out right

People should take more of a stance like that pastor. The last thing we need is some LGBTQ activist teacher telling our 5-year-old that it's OK to be transgender at that age. LGBTQ people can live the way they want. That's OK. Just stop the indoctrination and this so-called imaginary movement to make the world gender neutral. People don't talk against these matters because of the FEAR of being called certain things. Their voice is taken away. That should not stop you from protecting your family from people who go after your kids.

They’re basically being racist by not being racists

Perfectly said

Classic 😂

shame she passed away RIP

She is so awesome 🥹🤗

Agreed! Loved her

she's SO funny, the jokes write themselves

She sadly passed away in 2016 :( RIP Queen!

EXACTLY what i was thinking

🗣️ Facts!

Hopefully they're up in heaven together having a ball

She has the same voice

How do we know she , he , they , who , what , am , are , a women. ?

Eureka is a beautiful town. I graduated from Berryville.

In my experience tht is pretty much the Hypocrisy of the whole thing.

I hung out in Eureka as a teenager back in the 90s for the live music scene, and it was actually the go to place for inclusiveness then. He is disappointing..

Eureka Springs is Awesome

I don’t think we should outright remove it-make them demonstrate their charity status like we make every other charitable organization do to get their tax exemption. The ones that actually provide charitable services should be entitled to tax exemption just like any non-religious organization. Just don’t give them an automatic free pass.

I support this message.

@Mr. chicano The automatic charitable status given to religious organizations is why they’re tax exempt. I say make them pay taxes if and only if they wouldn’t otherwise qualify for a tax exemption-there’s no reason to disincentivize charitable works just because it’s coming from a church/temple/mosque/etc…they just shouldn’t get that automatically as a privilege. You want tax exemption…earn it.

😂😂😂🤣

@@thefourshowflip , nor should we give them an automatic rifle...It's just a thought.

I agree completely. She helps to restore my faith in small town government.

I would move to Eureka Springs, Arkansas just to invite her to a BBQ.

Sadly passed away in 2016.

@@Federico_Cahis - Joyce Zeller passed away in 2016? Wow! She's amazingly nice to come back from the dead to do this interview!!!

@@AllThroughALife this was 2015. I'm sure 2 seconds worth of research would have helped.

Amen!

Ah, but remember, being forced to treat others as human beings with the same rights as your own means you can't discriminate against them! And as we all know, not being able to discriminate is the biggest form of discrimination.

It's not pie...

Tthey're losing their rights to bully a vulnerable minority without consequence. Their lives are meaningless without this capacity. Think of how sad they are.

And that right there is called privilege

She was amazing! She passed away

Awww ;w; If I happen to visit or live within the state, I would looove to met her or someone like her anywhere in general! < 3

I suspect she was always more representative of the town than him.

She's adorable 😊

That was actually my grandmother, She was always very very sharp. even wrote a few books.

Indeed

yes! Honestly when the corespondents for Trevor do comedy interviews it feels like the interviewees are filmed answering mundane questions first and then they insert the footage of the comedic questions in post. It's just so disconnected but here it doesn't feel that way. I just hope she understood his ironic tone and that he wasn't actually behind what he was asking. Poor thing looked so confused and disgusted 🤨

Agree

What is up with that eyesore? (Ha-ha, "The head. It's 60 feet up!") How desperate are you to show off your cult at the expense of your cult members?

That image is one of the reasons I love Jordan Klepper. These idiots are comically not self aware.

Kleppers delivery of "it's almost like it's looming over you" is perfect. I don't know why Klepper isn't as big of a name as say Colbert, Carell, or even Noah

@@matildatheoboldt2261 I think it is because Jordan is a far better interviewer than he is a talking head behind a desk.

@@matildatheoboldt2261 He's getting there. The last year his name has popped up in feeds all over the world, his videos are gaining popularity completely independent of The Daily Show. I have Scandinavian friends who has never seen a video of Trevor Noah but would immediately recognize Jordan on the street, it's pretty obvious that this guy is going places.

they don't have to do anything if they choose not to, Except breathe.

@@melaniecotterell8263 Honestly, if they choose to stop breathing (and they're not currently operating a motor vehicle/plane/construction machinery or caring for a minor) then I'm all for it!

What makes you think your town came across as nuts??? It was the pastor that came across as completely off his rocker. That woman made your town as a very welcoming town to all people. You should be proud.

Yassss!!!

I totally agree! They def need to bring her back!

"You really want me to ask them that?", She shrugs her shoulders, "well ok as long as you keep paying me..."

I'm really surprised his church isn't flying the "Christian flag" that's popped up in the last few years. If it is, _The Daily Show_ team definitely should have filmed that.

@@MikeJProto Progressives hate you for being intolerant. I've never met a single hateful progressive person for any other reason lol
