'Moms For Liberty' Chair Has Unhinged Meltdown After Spotting Drag Queens At Hawaii Hotel

Anti-trans California Moms for Liberty chair Beth Bourne has gone viral after her meltdown over drag queens at the Alohilani Resort Waikīkī Beach was caught on video.

Beth Bourne—the transphobic chair of Moms for Liberty's California chapter, has gone viral after her meltdown over drag queens at the Alohilani Resort Waikīkī Beach was caught on video.

Moms for Liberty was founded by Tina Descovich and Tiffany Justice, two Florida Republican women who ran for school board seats and gained notoriety for railing against COVID-19 restrictions in schools, including mask and vaccine mandates.


The duo and their supporters have falsely alleged that members of the LGBTQ+ community have been "grooming" children and pushed anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in many conservative states based on these lies.

And Bourne proved herself very much a member of this hateful group after she expressed her anger in response to seeing drag queens on the premises.

One of the drag queens present during Bourne's outburst was Marina Del Rey, who posted the footage to Facebook.

Bourne says the following on camera:

“I paid to be a customer at a hotel where I thought you believed women were real. This is degrading. This is misogyny."
"If you give me back my money right now I will leave the hotel. But I’m not going to have my children come down from the 30th floor to see what’s happening here."

After demanding the names of staff members and confronted the drag queens with the following remarks:

"Are you with the hotel? Are you a man?"

She wasn't done there, ranting that her son “might think he can put on makeup and fancy clothing and high heels, and have his penis cut off and take estrogen and grow fake boobs like those."

After once again calling the experience "degrading," she complained that she'd spent $3,000 for her stay at the resort and insisted on speaking to the police to report the drag queens for being there.

Later, Marina Del Rey offered more context in an Instagram post, saying there "was prior dialog from [Bourne] ahead of what I filmed and ultimately she was taken off the property by [the Honolulu] Police Department."

She added:

“I would like to say a huge THANK U to the @alohilaniresort for your care and concerns during and after, to all of us…. those within witness – guest or staff – many extended compassion of which I’m very very grateful."
“To give some context – a few of us were on the hotel property to film a video for an upcoming pageant, playing roles as hotel staff. This woman saw us filming and came to a slow burn and then she popped off."
“Her rant went on and on – possibly with the attempt to get a riled angered response. She didn’t get one. In this video – you see my perspective. In her video – u will see three drag queens surrounded by staff and guests – just sitting down."
"I’m not here to figure her out, incite hate against her, or call her names —— I’m here to remind you, many meet worse daily, the ugliness of this happens without regard to where, why, how etc….Even in the lobby of your hotel.”

You can see her post below.

Honolulu authorities said Bourne was briefly detained in handcuffs due to a disturbance. However, she was neither arrested nor taken to a police station and is not facing any charges. The hotel issued a trespass order against her, barring her from returning to the property.

Bourne later identified herself in a post on X, formerly Twitter, confirming she'd been detained by police but expressing no remorse for the incident:

"I am not okay with children being exposed to drag queens. Several other Alohilani hotel guests told me they also found it offensive so I spoke up to the manager yesterday."
“I was briefly detained by @honolulupolice, refunded my hotel charges, and have no regrets for speaking up. If we can be heard, this will end."

You can see her post below.

She was swiftly called out for her bigoted behavior.



Bourne is employed by the University of California, Davis

The university stated that while Bourne’s comments are "protected by the First Amendment," the school still condemns them.

It added:

“We are aware of a widely circulated video in which a university employee makes a number of offensive statements. We condemn these statements as deeply hurtful. While the employee’s comments are protected by the First Amendment, they do not reflect the values of respect and belonging that form the foundation of our campus community.”
“To the LGBTQ community, UC Davis is a place where you should feel seen and supported. June is when the nation celebrates Pride Month, and at UC Davis we’re committed to making sure this community has every opportunity to thrive and flourish on our campus."
“We reject all manifestations of discrimination, including those based on gender and gender expression."

Bourne is on the record saying that she's "used to my colleagues thinking I’m a terrible person," a quote she gave to The Sacramento Bee about her estranged transgender child.
