Segment co-anchor Michael Che kicked off the second by addressing the Republican-led state legislatures in locations like Florida, Kansas, and Missouri which have very closely restricted gender-affirming take care of transgender kids. Taking on a severe tone, the SNL star stated:

“Since the start of this year, over 400 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced across the country, many of which directly target trans youth. Here to talk about it is someone with their own introduction.”

Then, SNL‘s “first non-binary cast member” got here down from the sky — actually!!

Featured participant Molly Kearney was slowly swung down from the ceiling whereas tethered to ropes and sporting a brilliant purple go well with! When the star obtained all the way down to the set, they delivered this quip:

“This harness is pretty tight and my groin area is beefed. I have been hung up on my genitals for far too long, and I’m starting to feel like a freaking Republican lawmaker.”

And Kearny continued, cracking a joke about their pronouns and relaying it again to trans rights:

“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.”

LOLz!

When Che requested about how “14 states have passed bills” limiting healthcare for trans youth, Kearney turned severe:

“Restricting healthcare for kids — for some reason there’s something about the word trans that makes people forget the word ‘kids.’ If you don’t care about trans kids’ lives, it means you don’t care about friggin’ kids lives! … People need to wake up. We are making trans kids grow up too fast. We should be keeping them safe and we need to lift them up.”

By the tip, Kearney was pulled again up into the sky excessive above the Weekend Update set. But they made positive to get in a single closing dig earlier than being swooped away eternally:

“What’s happening, kids, is wrong, and you don’t need to be scared. Our job is to protect you, and your job is to focus on being a kid. It’s kind of like me flying in the SNL sky: there are a bunch of dudes asking you about your crotch, and controlling when and where you’re allowed to pee. But if you just hang on, you’ll just look up and you’ll realize you’re flying, kid!”

Love that!

We want extra of that inspiring and optimistic speak in society!! Especially for at-danger youth!
