State Rep. Nick Wilson of Kentucky has come a long way from his days on Survivor.
The former reality TV contestant, who appeared on Survivor’s 37th season in 2018 and returned for the 40th season in 2020, was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 2022 after running unopposed following the retirement of incumbent Regina Huff.
Since taking office, he’s used his newly-obtained position of power to spew anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry and push for legislation that harms queer people, particularly queer kids.
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
During his first year in office, 33-year-old Wilson voted in favor of a bill banning gender-affirming care for transgender children as well as the discussion of sexual orientation in schools.
This week, he kicked off his second year in office by embarking on a single-man crusade to decriminalize incest.
On Tuesday, Wilson introduced House Bill 269, which sought to make sex between first cousins OK in the eyes of the law, only to withdraw it less than 24 hours later after he received widespread ridicule.
OK, now for the backstory…
Under current Kentucky law, a person is guilty of incest if they have sex with any person known to be “his or her parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, great-grandparent, great-grandchild, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother, sister, first cousin, ancestor, or descendent.”
Wilson wanted to remove “first cousin” from the list of familial relationships. Taking it one step further, he also wanted incest to be downgraded from a Class C felony to a Class D felony, “unless it is committed with a person who is less than twelve years of age.”
Evidently, in his mind, cousin’s bumping uglies with one another (provided they are heterosexual and over the age of 12) is far less egregious than two gay people who aren’t related falling in love, or a trans person being treated with dignity by their doctor.
Almost immediately after introducing the bill, Wilson became a laughingstock on social media.
In a two-minute video posted to TikTok, New York public defender Eliza Orlins blasted his “truly insane” proposal and urged Kentuckians to “flood his office” with phone calls.
“Nick Wilson is not only supporting but has introduced a bill that would reclassify incest in the state of Kentucky to not include your own first cousin,” she said. “Kentucky, like so many other places, is facing a lot of issues, and this is Nick’s top legislative priority.”
Less than one day after introducing HB 269, Wilson withdrew it. In a post shared on Facebook yesterday, he claimed the whole “first cousins” thing was actually a typo and that he’s fixing it now and plans to reintroduce the bill later.
“During the drafting process, there was an inadvertent change, which struck ‘first cousins’ from the list of relationships included under the incest statute, and I failed to add it back in,” he explained.
He also said that he wants to add groping by a family member to the definition of incest.
“Currently, incest only applies in cases of intercourse. So sexual touching/groping by uncles, stepdads, or anyone with a familial relationship is not included in incest,” he outlined. “My bill makes that kind of sexual contact a Class D Felony unless the victim is under the age of 12, then it increases the penalty to a Class C Felony.”
Wilson said he hopes people will give his bill a fair shot once it has been redrafted, saying it’s imperative that lawmakers combat the of legacy of “familial and cyclical abuse that transcends generations of Kentuckians.”
“I understand that I made a mistake, but I sincerely hope my mistake doesn’t hurt the chances of the corrected version of the bill,” he said. “It is a good bill, and I hope it will get a second chance.”

“It’s just so Republican” pretty much sums it up.
I mean they idolize a makeup wearing pig who has professed his sexual attraction to his daughter and partied w/ Epstein more times than a coked up Club Kid went dancing at Studio 54 in the 80’s.
This all tracks.
Baron Wiseman
@ZzBomb
Let’s leave Joe Biden out of this.
Those showers with his young daughter (that she wrote about in her diary) were a long time ago.
ZzBomb
LOL I trigger the troll.
Bosch
Hahaha look who’s here to defend cousinf*cking.
RIGay
Zero surprise. None.
decrans
Interesting pivot from yesterday’s polyamory propaganda and childhood gender transition push. There are documented cases of Munchausen syndrome by transgender childhood proxy. But it’s not like y’all want to create legislation to address that. Oh goodness no! It’s mostly because the abovementioned story aligns with your knuckle-dragging Trump voter narrative.
ZzBomb
Oh look, the armchair psychologist using big words they don’t understand and aren’t licensed to diagnose has an opinion.
decrans
Trump, Epstein, Yada. Meanwhile, let’s overlook Bill Clinton partaking in the same behavior and Joe Biden showering with his daughter. Babe, I don’t need a psychology degree to call out your hypocritical dumbassery. It’s plain as day.
ZzBomb
Well 1 Biden never did that.
2. Clinton isn’t running for office, otherwise you would have had a point
3. You worship a makeup wearing pig who sexualizes his own daughter.
4. I love how triggered you are from the facts I just laid out.
decrans
Uh-huh. The same old Zz diarrhea. Slosh.
I’m not voting for Trump for the umpteenth time. Seek help for your mental condition on that one. Please.
And again, Clinton was the standard of the Democratic party for 40 years through various sex allegations. What did y’all do? Hell, you almost gave his wife access to power so the chicanery could begin anew for this abusive power couple.
And you have the gall to natter on about Baron? Oh my God. Excuse me while I hold my stomach from laughter.
ZzBomb
LOL
Triggered another troll!
I’m on a roll today. You and Baron and the whataboutisms!? Wonderfully hilarious how you fail to defend your own bullsh*t.
decrans
I’m not triggered. Perhaps, it triggers you to think of teens like the ones in HBO’s “Transhood”. They cried when their mothers made them parade around as trans at a book signing and detransitioned in a show epilogue. That’s your “Everyone is trans who says they’re trans and let’s give them drugs” ideology coming back to bite you in the ass. And you can’t address that. Your brain isn’t that evolved. Better drop trou, pop a squat and scream about Trump to a non Trump voters again. Winning strategies, I guess. (Shrugs)
ZzBomb
Oh look, another pivot to another whataboutism from a troll who still can’t defend their own bullsh*t.
decrans
Uh yeah. You started out yammering about Epstein. Try what you preach, babe.
ZzBomb
I never said anything about Epstein in response to your post?
Triggered much?
decrans
You’re the one blathering constantly about Trump to a non-voter. Triggered about your ideological shortcomings which sometimes leaves kids with collateral damage much?
ZzBomb
LOL Where did I mention or even infer about Trump in response to your original post?
Triggered much?
dbmcvey
Yeah, your whole thing about your alleged foray into a “polyamorous genderqueer commune” was eye opening. If I thought you were telling the truth at all I would feel sorry for you if you weren’t actually seeking to harm people.
So you were supposedly a trans person in, no a poly relationship, but a polyamorous genderqueer commune. Somewhere there you detransitioned, which many people do but very few then go on to become anti-trans extremists–but you do go on to demonize the trans community and aid in the zealots who are trying to outlaw any services to kids who think they might be trans. But, you go even a step further and become a conservative who campaigns for the extremely anti-gay Ron Desantis and start living in what sounds like another commune, except this is for conservative white supremacists.
These wild, extreme swings are a sign that you really need help. If I believed any of your story I might be concerned but you are activily harming people. It’s really wild.
Get help decrans. You’re not healthy.
dbmcvey
decraps, Trump is going to be the Republican candidate for President–we should be concerned.
Bill Clinton, at most, might write another book with James Patterson.
decrans
Somewhere there you detransitioned, which many people do but very few then go on to become anti-trans extremists–
Where are the numbers to back up your ramblings? Oh, I know! There aren’t any widespread studies on detransitioners. Hence, collateral damage from the medical industrial complex. Oh and Dickvaney! You can read my experiences at this “mythical genderqueer commune” in the Gay and Lesbian Review. Google Winter Breedlove and Gay and Lesbian Review. My experience was so mythical that a leading gay intelligentsia journal published it.
decrans
Meanwhile, your ideology seeks to harm mentally ill kids misdiagnosed by a cash cow medical industrial complex. But hey, look over here! Screw those kids and THEIR damage, am I right? If you are serious about winning this culture war, you might wanna begin to address that discrepancy. But yall never do.
decrans
and start living in what sounds like another commune, except this is for conservative white supremacists.”
I said I lived near a gated community. It’s not my problem that y’all have problems with basic reading comprehension. When you have nothing to argue, I notice that you spin yarns repeatedly. It’s childish.
RandomCanadian
Are you retired, or on disability, or something? I only check Queerty once or twice a week, and every article I click on is always littered with comments from you. I just counted the number of comments you made on this post, and as of this moment, there are 42. FORTY TWO. On this post alone. You must have ridiculous amounts of free time on your hands. And you have nothing better to do than sit on the internet….?
I mean, you’re clearly not here because you agree with any of these articles. And you’re clearly not here to change people’s minds, because if you were, you’d use a much different tone in your comments.
Do you just get some perverse joy from spending all your time trolling people on here?
Maybe you should get off the internet for awhile. Might help you to realize there’s more to life than trolling people online. Your friends and family probably miss you, and would love it if you dedicated more of your time to them instead.
Bosch
Aw, you seem really upset that incest is still incest.
decrans
Nope, robotbones. I’m merely pointing out the cognitive dissonance of this ‘protect the children!’ post while your ideology sometimes accidentally groups mentally ill children as trans. Your rebuttal? “Oh well. Sucks for those kids.” I just talked to another prominent detransitioner this afternoon who was misdiagnosed and had seizures as a result of HRT. Again, we live in capitalism. Medical malpractice lawsuits are the new reality. So far, your allies have only been able to bleat memes as a response to this serious issue. This is why you’re losing on the culture war. Oh, well. Thoughts and prayers, babe.
RandomCanadian
You’re up to 52 now. I think you might have a legit addiction.
You know, commenting on the internet is not as important as you seem to think it is. I can guarantee you that when you’re on your deathbed someday, you won’t be thinking to yourself “Oh man, if only I commented on Queerty more”…
decrans
And you’re the one counting my comments. How sad is your life?
Mister P
Hey kid want to buy a new gender? According to Dee trans we are pushing it like drugs.
decrans
May I remind you that your movement wanted fewer guardrails for years? As more teen detransitioners filed lawsuits, a national pushback was born. That’s on you. Your movement created this mess. The ramifications are what you deserve until you can come up with solves. Oh well. Such is life.
ZzBomb
@Mister P
It’s all about “parent’s rights” until a parent doesn’t do what the right says they should do to their kid.
decrans
Once again, Zz going off topic and accusing others of the same behavior. How adorable.
ZzBomb
Decrans,
You know everything about going off topic. You brought up something about the Clinton’s in a conversation that didn’t even infer them in any context. Maybe you should stay in your lane: counting your toes. Seems that’s about your level of education.
decrans
Ummmm. Yeah. You posted about Epstein (off-topic). In relation to that. Reading context with your own words, honey.
ZzBomb
Decrans,
Well I never mentioned Epstein at all in regards to any of my responses to your posts. So there is “no relation to that” beside you pivoting to off topic subjects you know nothing about. But please tell me all you know b/c you may have watched something on HBO and are now some “expert.”
dbmcvey
Interesting, decraps claims to be doing events with a woman who claims that she was forced into having a mastectomy as a teenager and is suing Kaiser Permanente, but is not suing her parents who would have had to have given permission, so, I judge him by the company he keeps.
decrans
Her parents were misled by doctors. Hey Dave! We live in capitalism where medical malpractice exists. If you truly cared to address these loopholes, you’d address them and maybe stand a chance at solidifying trans youth care. Sticking your head into the sand? That’s been the modus operandi for years. It hasn’t worked out thus far.
Bosch
Decranky complaining about people going off-topic, after turning EVERY conversation into a trans conversation.
SoPluckyWhat
Decrap must not remember that we can read his earlier rant and that he was the one who brought up Clinton.
decrans
In relation to Zz’s random blurts about Epstein. Use that brain of yours. Following the bouncing ball if you can.
Mister P
I’m not saying it was right but Clinton was in a consensual relationship which means it is not my business and very few other people should stick their nose in it either.
This guy pushing for cousins sure thinks it is his business who Clinton fools around with.
He also thinks medical care between a child his family and doctors is his business too. He should butt out
decrans
It is. When kids are damaged and your side doesn’t care to address the collateral damage. Government picks up the pieces. Don’t like it? Figure it out so it doesn’t happen. Clinton also had power dynamics with most of the women. And yes, I’m sure you want independent voters like me to believe that when Trump did the same thing that ‘it was so very, very wrong.” Get a grip.
dbmcvey
decraps has descended into madness.
Trump is going to be the candidate, Bill Clinton is off in the shadows writing fiction.
Also, the damaged kids argument is just stupid considering what Republicans do regularly.
decrans
Whataboutism, whataboutism. Never address my party’s failings. Two party duopoly. Rah, rah, rah. Wave that blue sports jersey like a brainless cheerleader again…
SoPluckyWhat
Decrans seems to think the government should be controlling our lives.
decrans
Your party is the one limiting people from drinking big gulp sodas. Spare me. It’s inane.
Mister P
No one is even bringing up Trump’s consensual affairs.
dbmcvey
You mean the ones with his wives and prostitutes?
ZzBomb
I love how the article is about a creepy cis-gender “straight” right wing blow hard trying to change the laws so he can have sex with his cousin but the right wing trolls of course need to pivot the narrative to attack trans people with their phony and fake concerns over things that are not happening and that they know nothing about.
Dunning Kruger much?
decrans
It is creepy. But here’s the thing: Your ideology has shortcomings as far as mentally ill kids being misdiagnosed. But hey. You’re okay with that! Screw em! And I will point out the hypocrisy. You’re triggered and want to scream into void about Trump to an independent voters who will not be voting for Trump. Seek emotional regulation.
ZzBomb
Oh look Decrans, a person with no higher education to speak of regarding mental health has an opinion.
We should all take note!?
decrans
I graduated college and went through a gender detransition. Guess what? I talk about my experiences with other detransitioners statewide and nationally. We affect legislation. Go cry about it. We live in a democracy.
ZzBomb
BAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
Surrrrrrrre just like you’re an “independent” constantly serving up right wing talking points!?
decrans
I became more conservative after surviving a horrific gender transition that gave me more sexual trauma and screwed up my liver enzymes. See also: I lived in California, a state with a huge gap between the lumpenproletriat and uberwealthy technocrats. And yall want me to believe you’re the party of the working class? Changing worldviews! Life comes at you fast.
decrans
But yes, I worked under Christina Berry at The Daily Wire. She also became a conservative leaning independent after living in California. Very rarely do people go the other way. Ask yourself why that is.
ZzBomb
Gawd stop lying, this is really pathetic now. Really, have some dignity.
decrans
You want me to email my correspondence about my experiences at the Vanderbilt Transgender Clinic during Matt Walsh’s protests from last year? More than happy to do it. Detransitioners are politically active and pissed. Deal. You know for someone who snarks “Triggered much?” You sure get triggered a lot.
ZzBomb
lol Matt Walsh, the right wing blow hard who beats his wife!?
Yeah, sure, you email whatever “correspondence” you want to. With such shining examples of humanity you claim to pal around with, I’m sure you’re “truthful.” Like how you’re a politically active “non-voter.” OKAY!?
Again, have some dignity. If not for your fellow human beings, at least for yourself. Jeeesh
decrans
Meanwhile, please lecture me about The Daily Wire having Los Angeles offices when they moved to Nashville and I worked with them semi regularly again. That was one of your greatest hits and troll fails. “Ben Shapiro lives in Los Angeles. I should know. I don’t follow him at all. Listen to me, though.” And that day, you got your ass handed to you. It’s highly entertaining.
decrans
He got the Vanderbilt Transgender Clinic for kids shut down. And you’re confusing him with Steven Chowder. Once again, your troll skills are failing hard.

More nattering to deflect that a simple Google search would undercut your obnoxious “I’m always right” routine. This is becoming desperate on your part. You want to ramble about Trump to an independent voter again? Maybe try that old shtick. Your greatest hits, Zz. You only know one or two. You must have graduated with honors at that Ivy League college. Surely.

Small people always like to talk themselves up bigly. So far that legislation you talk about has been getting shot down in court case after court case.
Scream at the sky harder, maybe one day you’ll be evolve into a human being again.

Court case after court case, huh? Why then is the HRC saying that it’s the worst trans legislation in years? Both things can’t be true at the same time, smart guy. And please, list the ones overturned vs the ones diverted or solidified in place. Let’s see those numbers, baby boy.

Idaho and Arkansas for starters. More in the pipeline.
Pretty much these bans are a violation of a person’s first amendment rights.
Sucks to suck but that’s on you friend of women beaters.

In the pipeline is the key phrase here. Wishing does not constitute facts.
decrans
I never worked with Steven Chowder. When you can’t argue your viewpoints, you invent narratives again. Yawn. You’re starting to bore me on this snow day.

And in Idaho, the judge temporarily blocked enforcement. Temporarily. Another keyword. In other states, judges temporarily blocked enforcement only to uphold the ban at a later date. Wishing and hoping does not constitute facts. That’s elementary school level logic, bud.

IF you even transitioned, you did it for attention. And IF you detransitioned, you did it for attention. How do we know? Because all you do is beg for attention.
decrans
No, robot bones. It’s fun to poke holes in your logic and watch you scream into the void about Trump and unrelated topics on a pivot. Very rarely have y’all offered a measured, thoughtful rebuttal. It’s comedy to me. Since I stopped having sex and smoking weed, it’s a nice distraction from work. I enjoy poking holes in your thoughtless logic wheel. Comedy.

Whoever that person is, they claim to be Winter Breedlove and has many articles on The Gay & Lesbian review but that’s a total lie. There’s literally one article by that person on that site and it’s a neutral article about their asexuality and personal history. They are lying and it’s pretty pathetic.
Also decraps tries to end every comment with some biting one liner and it’s super pathetic and corny.

I don’t know what the legal age of consent between an adult and a minor currently is in KY but this sounds like a backhanded way to legalize sexual predation on children.
For all of you who for some reason felt the need to comment on transgender issues on an article that is not about transgender issues:
Why do none of these states not at least have carve outs for children who are born intersex or as genetic variants? What is the legally required outward gender of an individual with genotype XXY?
I don’t know the incidence of these conditions but considering the apparent need to strictly legislate incest in places like Kentucky I expect it is higher than the national average.
ZzBomb
Ask Decrans. They once stayed at a Holiday Inn Express and saw something on HBO and suddenly are an expert on all things transgender and mental health related.
Just don’t mention Epstein unless you want to hear a lot of bunk about Clinton from 30+ years ago.
decrans
Aw. Sweet baby. I triggered you all over this post.
SteveInQueens
I forgot. You do realize that in individuals with androgen insensitivity syndrome many of these states are now legally REQUIRING sex changes? These are genetic men who do not have the appropriate response to testosterone and are outwardly indistinguishable from your mother and/or sister gender wise.

He’s a TA who engages in run-on sentences, though. I bow down to his superiority. Clearly.

Here in the UK, sex and marriage between first cousins is permitted.
I’m not sure how common it is, but I’ve had two partners whose parents were either cousins or whose parent married a cousin later in life.
I believe the issue with incest stems from how “malformed” a child might turn out. Apparently, first cousins share only 12.5% of DNA and therefore offspring to do not come physically or mentally malformed.
still_onthemark
Yes, it’s not illegal in most of the U.S. either, nor does it happen only in conservative states. Probably the Queerty writer assumed that only the southern redneck states have it. Not true!
States that allow marriage between cousins include:
– California
– New York
– New Jersey
– Colorado
– New Mexico
– Massachusetts
– Rhode Island
– Connecticut
– Vermont
– Maryland
– Virginia
All “blue” states that voted for Biden!
By contrast, marrying your cousin is a criminal offense in… Texas! Not what I’d have expected.
inbama
@still_onthemark
Good homework on the states.
While first cousin marriage only increases the chance of birth defects by 6%, that’s a lot of problems in societies (like Muslim) where this is the norm. As these birth defects include thalassaemias, cystic fibrosis and Down’s syndrome, it’s not a good idea to encourage it.
still_onthemark
@inbama: Thanks! As you may know, your state of Alabama does confirm the stereotype and allows cousin marriage. Jimmy Kimmel said last night that Alabama REQUIRES cousin marriage, but I’m pretty sure that was a joke.
DavidIntl
The very traditional – albeit far from universal – laws barring marriage between first cousins were entirely based on the possible harm in terms of birth defects from the offspring of such couples. Considering that would never be an issue for same-sex couples, I can’t see why anyone in the gay community would be opposed to legalising such relationships.
MSM
Zz, you are nothing more than a self loathing gay man who is so self hating that he will support a political party that aims to destroy the gay world. Your comments are so evident of your hatred it is pathetic. And Queerty, giving you the space to show your self loathing is, IMO, a tribute to the fact that we have come so far. And we have the Democratic party to thank for the progress made.
LegionKeign
So because decrans had a bad experience transitioning, ALL trans children really aren’t trans children, but abused children being forced to transition because their parents have Munchhausen’s syndrome.
Is that correct?
I think perhaps this decrans person is maybe, and I could be wrong, a kook in some sort of mental health facility, with access to a computer.
I would venture that perhaps that other troubled soul, Baron Wiseman, may be sharing a room with them.

Notice that Nicks cousin looks pregnant. Maybe he wanted to lower the criminalization cause he’s dickering his OWN cousin? But it’s typical for the creepy white hetero male worshiping gop..
