a good friend of mine is a hard core Juggalo. Most of them are very accepting. I’ve been to a gathering and it’s wild. Good people, lots of drugs and titties. I have a soft spot for clown girls. The music isn’t my thing and the anti-science stuff is cringe. But all in all they seem like good folks.

I’m from the Midwest, had friends go to check out the gathering, never had problems. They’re self proclaimed outsiders and anti-establishment and are generally sympathetic to minority groups. The worst I’ve seen from them is anti science and anti education getting wrapped up in their anti establishmentism, but they usually just want to get high and listen to music about horror movies and wrestling.

Yessir alive and kicking.

iirc one of the main juggalos got a furry suit made to match his kid and goes to furry conventions with them. So id assume theyre allies

Group of juggalos living out in the woods in Washington saved my life by helping me ditch a r×pist who was traveling with our caravan.

They did stuff like help out at the food pantries, told us the best places to go for free/low-cost supplies, and sabotaged the construction area for the Walmart often enough for it to be delayed for a loooong time.

I always think you gotta check with the people before you assume anything, but, from what I have experienced, they are scarily enthusiastic yet genuinely cool folks. Majority seem to be supportive of LGBTQ+ kinda stuff. 👍

Some of their older lyrics had some homophobic bullshit in them, for which they have since apologized. I read one such apology from one of them and it felt pretty genuine to me, FWIW.

So Juggalos I would expect to be inclusive of LGBT+ people, but no group that big is going to be perfectly in lock step on something like that.

MMFCL. Great question. I looked up some stuff.

• “Trans Joy and Acceptance at the Gathering of the Juggalos” https://www.papermag.com/juggalos-trans-joy
• twitter JuggaLGBT https://xcancel.com/JuggaLGBT seems like mostly a personal site
• r$ddit: https://redlib.northboot.xyz/r/juggalo/comments/10jqxeb/yo_wait_is_icp_lgbtq_friendly_because_i_think/

• there a couple other posts on r$ddit but they’re basically saying the same…

I don’t believe I’m an arbitrator of who is or isn’t an ally, but I did grow up with folks who identify as juggalos, I’ve joined them at the gathering previously, and live in an area of the midwest that is somewhat prolific with ICP fans.

My perspective is they are some of the kindest, easy going, unconventionally individualistic people I’ve ever met. Nearly unwaivering in their acceptance of others into the community. Almost like modern day hippies, very pro drugs, human unity and family. Many are lgbtq themselves.

I would GENERALLY consider them lgbtq allies. There’s always assholes in every crowd though.

Every Juggalo I’ve interacted with (sample size of 3) has been the kind of person I’d definitely consider an ally.

Potentially not representative of the greater community, but I’ve yet to experience anything to the contrary.

In case someone else needed to learn this: “Juggalo” is a term for fans of Insane Clown Posse, a hip hop group.

I had to look up so much stuff to even understand the question, so I’ll let others provide actual answers.

Of course you’ll still meet individuals with a wide range of beliefs and I don’t think you can boil a complex group down to a simple answer; but yes.

A few years back now it came out that Violent J’s daughter was a furry, and like a good dad he supported her and at least tangentially got into the furry community which is very LGBTQ+. This opened up a really weird friendship between the groups, but from what I understand the Juggalos also have a history of being very anti-fascist which also jived with the progressive furries.

While I haven’t met many myself, I fully accept the alliance. They’re both alternative cultures which can look odd from the outside, but as you pointed out I think they both heavily focus on acceptance, respect, and support. It’s a good unifying thread! Juggalos and furries will show you who they are without shame, I trust and respect that.

I know a smattering of Juggalos and as a whole they are kind and accepting folk. ICP actually has a number of songs that call out racist and bigoted behavior. Obviously there are bound to be a few jerky exceptions, but they would be at odds with what the majority expresses as core values.

The Daily Show had a segment Who Will Juggalos Vote for?.

They accept what society rejects besides pedos.
