Randy Rainbow's Revelation About Trump May Surprise You As Kids' Book Comes Out
HuffPost
The Trump-spoofing comedian opened up about his trolls on social media.
If anybody can pull off writing a children’s book about being yourself in these Trumpian times, it’s Randy Rainbow.
The Emmy and Grammy-nominated comedian, whose musical YouTube spoofs of President Donald Trump and his cronies entertain millions, is now telling a simpler, sweeter tale about his young self to kids.
It’s called “Randy Rainbow and the Marvelously Magical Pink Glasses,” and it covers the comedian’s childhood experience of being different and owning it with the help of his grandma.
Rainbow pointed out that young Randy doesn’t come out as gay in the book (though he’s open to that possibility in a sequel). But the author still factored in potential censorship amid the Trump administration’s attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion.
“I know this will be at the top of every banned list ― and I take no joy from that, it’s a sad state of affairs ― but I’m so proud to be contributing something like this at this time for that reason,” Rainbow told HuffPost recently. “Self-expression, expressive freedom, is so under attack now, so I mean, I just think any opportunity we have to impart that message that it’s OK — it’s not only OK, it’s great.”
