“[Expletive] Joe Rogan, [expletive] Joe Rogan!” Queerbomb attendees chanted as they passed by Comedy Mothership<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Queerbomb is a local anti-corporate grassroots Pride event<\/a>\u00a0founded 16 years ago to ensure Austin had a Pride event that “was for and by the community,”the core organizer of the\u00a0LGBTQ+ group, who goes by Roadkill, told the American-Statesman. This year’s parade took place on June 7.<\/p>\n

Roadkill said the chant against Rogan was impromptu, and that the event itself is about “queer joy as radical resistance.”<\/p>\n

“Many seemed to have gotten some joy from their message to Joe Rogan,” Roadkill noted.<\/p>\n

The parade-goers chanted as they passed the venue, holding Pride flags and posters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The camera panned to those presumably working to let people into the comedy club. Some people appeared to be recording the parade as it passed in front of the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Statesman contacted Comedy Mothership for comment, but did not receive a response by publication.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A video of the spontaneous anti-Rogan moment made its way to Reddit, where one commenter, who claimed to have marched in the parade, said attendees started to shout at Rogan because of what they referred to as his past transphobic remarks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the comments, a Substack post by self-described independent LGBTQ+ journalist Erin Reed was linked. Reed highlighted a conversation<\/a> “Jackass” comedian Steve-O had with Rogan on his “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast in which the podcaster implied many transgender people are “[expletive] perverts.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I genuinely think there\u2019s people that feel like they are in the wrong biological sex, right?\u201d\u00a0Rogan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there\u2019s also people that are [expletive] perverts, and they have a thing called\u00a0autogynephilia, and what that is, is they get a turn on by pretending to be a woman, they get excited by it, and they want to be around women,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Rogan made several other comments within that conversation and others that Reed and other LGBTQ+ writers and advocates have deemed transphobic.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“[Expletive] Joe Rogan, [expletive] Joe Rogan!” Queerbomb attendees chanted as they passed by Comedy Mothership.
