Professing Christian model Hailey Baldwin Bieber has joined hundreds of celebrities in endorsing a public letter from GLAAD that calls for social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and Twitter to censor so-called anti-LGBTQ hate speech, including deadnaming, misgendering, and spreading ‘misinformation’ about ‘gender-affirming healthcare’ for trans teens.
The letter, which is from “celebrities, influencers, and prominent public figures with significant followings on social media” includes such names as Patrick Stewart, Demi Lovato, Zooey Deschanel, Lena Dunham, Judd Apatow, Sam Smith, Jazz Jennings, Dylan Mulvaney, and Elliot Page.
It argues that “dangerous posts (both content and ads) created and circulated by high-follower anti-LGBTQ hate accounts targeting transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people are thriving across your platforms, directly resulting in terrifying real-life harm” and that “targeted misgendering and deadnaming of trans and nonbinary people is a widespread mode of hate speech across all platforms, utilized to bully and harass prominent public figures while simultaneously expressing hatred and contempt for trans and non-binary people in general.”
Their call action is that the owners of these sites meet with them to address how they will censor and shut down hateful content that “spreads malicious lies and disinformation about medically necessary healthcare for transgender youth,” accounts and postings that “perpetuate anti-LGBTQ extremist hate and disinformation,” including “anti-transgender hate speech, including targeted misgendering, deadnaming, and hate-driven tropes”
It’s an unsurprising move from Hailey Bieber, who has nearly 50 million followers on Instagram. Despite being a professing Christian who is married to Justin Bieber, attends Churchome with Pastor Judah Smith, can occasionally be seen doing little mini bible studies and scripture readings online with her husband, and has publicly stated, “I’m here to represent Jesus through me, for other people — for His will to be done,” Hailey has frequently bucked basic standards of Christian belief and practice, demonstrating a decidedly unbiblical worldview.
Chief among her foibles includes routinely going nearly topless as part of her modeling endeavors, resulting in pushback from other believers criticizing her for her scantily clad shots. This has led Hailey to defend herself by saying:
I’ve met Christian people that are just super judgmental and made me feel like I’m a bad person because I don’t live my life the way they think I should live my life. And I felt weird about posting certain photos of myself or feeling like, ‘People in the church are gonna see this. Am I doing something wrong? Am I setting a bad example?’ And the reality is- no.”
That she can sign her name to a letter like this is more proof that she is deeply compromised, and whose profession of faith should not be assumed.
