Helfgott points out the hypocrisy of Tennessee Governor Bill Lee banning drag shows in his state despite evidence to suggest he has appeared in public in drag in his past. Photos resurfaced of Lee in drag and were presented to him, something the governor wasn't pleased with. Helfgott's sharp rhetorical wit and awareness helps bring situations like this to our attention.

Helfgott gets out actor Jim Parsons to say his signature "gay news" line before advertising Parson's Christmas rom-com "Spoiler Alert." The film was one of the more successful gay romance movies in recent memory from a critical perspective.

It's very important to show children that same-sex couples are just as normal as opposite-sex couples, and what better way to exhibit this than with toys? Helfgott shows the first ever same-sex doll set from Bratz in the summer of 2022. He's just as excited as we are to see the progress being made!

Helfgott gives a small explanation of how the bisexual pride flag came to be. Bisexuals often receive discrimination both within the LGBTQ+ community and outside of it. Helfgott encourages everyone to learn about the unique traits that make us all different, yet special.
@joshhelfgott I love you, Moms. I am so incredibly proud to be your son. #lgbtq #lesbian #lgbt #mothersday ♬ original sound - Josh Helfgott
Helfgott gets personal in this short history of his family. He talks about how his mom married another woman when he was young, resulting in a two-mom household that showed him love and affection and acceptance. It's both adorable and inspirational to see lesbian couples raising bright and courageous people like Helfgott.
