Reneé Rapp doesn’t hold back—especially not when it comes to dealing with bigots. The Mean Girls star, who recently embraced the lesbian label publicly, took to TikTok in a livestream that’s now going viral for all the right—and outrageous—reasons.
In a clip reshared by fans, Rapp was asked how to convince a homophobic mother to attend one of her shows. Without missing a beat, the pop star served her brand of deadpan sapphic wisdom: “I don’t know if I want her there, I’ve got to be honest. I feel like you should just run.” She followed it up with a more generous suggestion—bring her if your goal is unity, not battle lines.
But then came the part that had queer TikTok screaming.
“I’m not sure she’ll like it, I’m not sure she’ll leave being a changed woman,” she said before flipping into full gay-theatre absurdity. “You could try sedating her and maybe dragging her against her will. Knocking her out cold, and then she wakes up in the middle of GA at one of my shows, and she’s surrounded by a bunch of gay people—that might help.”
It’s pure camp, pure chaos, and peak Rapp. While no one’s actually recommending abduction by glitter and rainbow fumes, the exaggerated humor speaks to something deeper—a collective exhaustion with trying to earn tolerance from people determined not to give it.
The Power of Lesbian Laughter
Rapp, who first came out as bisexual and later publicly identified as a lesbian during her appearance as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live, has spoken candidly about her struggle with internalized homophobia. But her current energy is one of liberation and defiance, and TikTok is her pulpit.
For young fans facing homophobia at home, the real message underneath the sedative joke is validation: your pain is real, your queerness is valid, and your mom doesn’t get to ruin your night—or your identity. There’s something deeply queer, even revolutionary, in laughing at the absurdity of trying to “convert” intolerance with good manners and soft invites.
Lesbian Euphoria, Now Streaming
From proudly saying “straight people don’t exist” to casually suggesting a surprise gay show intervention for bigoted parents, Rapp is quickly becoming the sapphic voice of a generation. She’s not just another pop act—she’s gay culture in eyeliner and leather pants, holding a mic and an unfiltered sense of justice.
For the LGBTQ community, especially young queer women, Rapp’s honesty is a lifeline. She embodies what it means to live freely, queerly, and unapologetically—where even the most difficult family dynamics are no match for humor, community, and a good show.
And if your mom happens to wake up surrounded by drag queens mid-ballad? Well… bless her heart.
