TikToker Epically Trolls Homophobes By Recounting How Her Two Moms 'Oppressed' Her

TikToker Epically Trolls Homophobes By Recounting How Her Two Moms 'Oppressed' Her
@sidneyclementine/TikTok

Regardless of whether they are two moms or two dads, parents are typically seen as villains by their children who don't always get their way.

TikToker Sidney Clementine—a.k.a. @sidneyclementine–played on this notion by lamenting in a satirical video that her two moms didn't accept her for who she was as a straight woman.


But her sarcasm didn't land among homophobic trolls who interpreted her video differently so that they could respond with hateful comments.

In the clip captioned with, "My gay moms oppressed me," Clementine said:

“I was raised by gay moms growing up, and I want to tell you about the times that they did not accept me for who I was.”

In the first of three examples, she drew viewers' attention to the background image of an asymmetrical pink haircut and explained:

“First was when I wanted to get this haircut. I was told that I could get the haircut if I chose to—it was my own head, but that I would look stupid.”

"I felt oppressed," she deadpanned.

She then mentioned the time she was 7 and thought she could fly like the Darling children from Peter Pan if she stepped off from a high enough ledge.

"They did not allow me to do this," she said. "I'm not sure why, but once again, not accepting of my life choices."

Lastly, with a younger Zendaya from Disney's Shake It Up posing behind our TikToker, Clementine said she wanted to go to school dressed like the "Disney teens"–epitomized by "lots of layers and clashing fabrics."

Convinced she would have been a "fashion icon," she said her moms advised against the idea.

"Alas, my moms didn't accept me for who I was meant to be," she said, before identifying the problem with her moms.

“It was straight-phobia in its purest form," she said, "and you cannot convince me otherwise.”

Whether or not people were deliberately being sarcastic or genuinely sympathetic could be left for interpretation.

Although the video was posted back in December, the clip gained traction again due to the New York Post portraying Clementine in the title of an article featuring her video as the "'Traumatized' daughter of LGBT parents."

The New York Post did mention Clementine's video was purely satirical, but it didn't prevent social media users to make their own assumptions about the story simply by reading the misleading title.

Clementine took an opportunity to clarify a few points in a new TikTok clip addressing her previous clip–including the fact that "homophobic people on Twitter are sharing it bc they don’t know it’s a joke."

Clementine explained:

“The reason that I did the video is to poke fun at a very real reality that I grew up with, which was supposedly very well-intentioned people being concerned about the well-being of a child of LGBT parents."
"In reality, you don’t really care about children, you just hate gay people.”

She continued:

“Having a ‘What about the children?’ mindset is a really great way to rebrand things like transphobia and homophobia as more altruistic characteristics like ‘protecting young children and caring about others.’"

Clementine asserted that what makes someone a good or bad parent "has absolutely nothing to do with their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

She left a positive message for concerned LGBT parents looking to start a family by adopting or having their own children.

“I grew up in a household with parents that I knew, whoever I chose to date or whatever gender identity I identified with, I wouldn’t be not accepted by my parents and kicked out of the house simply for who I was."

She ended with a thought-provoking question for viewers.

"Can your kids say the same?”

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
