Who could forget the adorable little boy who starred in his own incredibly passionate viral Lady Gaga lipsync videos? Staten Harry, a Little Monster whose YouTube lipsyncs of Lady Gaga's music went viral in 2018, is back in the discourse for reasons nobody could have predicted.
Staten Harry's content more recent has not been circulated much. His most popular video, a lipsync of Alejandro, is frequently used as a reaction video on Twitter.
Like the stars of many old memes, people have wondered “where is he now?” The answer came as a shock to many, as he is now a Christian influencer
The revelation that Staten is now likely Lady Gaga to a demon sparked comparisons between him and Lohanthony. Lohanthony is a former influencer, Vine star, and YouTuber who similarly went from being a flamboyant online presence to promoting Christianity as a cure for homosexuality.
At the end of the day, we do not know this kid and the exact events that led him from being a Little Monster to a passionate Christian. I will say, however, don't believe everything you see in the media about conversion therapy. It's not just people being sent away to camps to be explicitly instructed on how not to be gay. Manipulating young people away from being gay happens in subtle ways in churches, schools, and families to the point where the kids they once were are barely recognizable. These are intentional acts of homophobia and are genuinely upsetting to watch.
