‘SNL': Molly Kearney Condemns Anti-Trans Legislation: ‘We Are Making Trans Kids Grow Up Too Fast’ (Video)
“This harness is pretty tight and my groin area is beefed,” Kearney said. “I have been hung up on my genitals for far too long, and I’m starting to feel like a freakin’ Republican lawmaker.”“Restricting healthcare for kids — for some reason there’s something about the word ‘trans’ that makes people forget the word ‘kids,'” Kearney continued. “If you don’t care about trans kids’ lives, it means you don’t care about friggin’ kids’ lives.”Che and Kearney continued to make use of Kearney’s stunt to double down on their point, with Che asking Kearney how long they were hanging by the ceiling before being hoisted down.“Longer than I would have liked!” Kearney responded. “At one point I heard a crew guy say, ‘Is she gonna die up there?’ And then another crew guy was like, ‘ You mean, are they gonna die up there?’ And then they both walked away and didn’t help, which feels a lot how trans people are being treated right now.”Kearney cleared up that all was resolved when they used their code word for emergencies: “trans rights.”“People need to wake up,” Kearney said. “We are making trans kids grow up too fast.
We should be keeping them safe and we need to be lifting them up.”Right on cue, Kearney was lifted back up, leaving a heartwarming message for trans kids on the way.“What’s happening, kids, is wrong, and you don’t need to be scared,” Kearney continued.
