Lauren Cherie Southern (born 16 June[3] 1995) is a Canadian political activist, internet personality, and journalist,[4][5] who is described as far-right[a] and alt-right[b]. In 2015, Southern ran as a Libertarian Party candidate in the Canadian federal election. She worked for The Rebel Media until March 2017. In addition, she has written for Spiked,[6] the International Business Times, and The Libertarian Republic.[7] Southern continues to work independently and publishes videos on YouTube.

In 2017, Southern supported the white identitarian group Defend Europe opposing the action of non-governmental organizations involved in search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea. She was detained by the Italian Coast Guard for blocking a ship embarking on a search-and-rescue mission.[8] In March 2018, Lauren Southern was also detained while trying to enter the United Kingdom and says she was banned from entering the country. A spokesperson for the British Home Office said that "her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good".[9][10]

In July 2018, Australia's Department of Home Affairs denied Lauren Southern an Electronic Travel Authority visa, saying it was “not a working visa”, then granted her the correct visa.[11] While finding her views “repugnant”, New Zealand's Immigration Minister also granted her a visa, saying she met character requirements and was never banned from Australia or the United Kingdom.[12]

Education and personal life

Southern was born in Surrey, British Columbia.[13] She studied political science at the University of the Fraser Valley but completed only two years and did not receive a degree.[14][15][16]

Political career

In 2015, Southern was a candidate in the 2015 Canadian federal election representing the Libertarian Party in the district of Langley—Aldergrove.[15] She was briefly removed by the party as a candidate, but was eventually reinstated with support from Breitbart News and The Rebel Media.[17] The election was eventually won by Conservative candidate Mark Warawa. Southern finished last, having received 535 votes, or 0.9% of the total.[18]

Activism

In June 2015 while reporting on the Vancouver SlutWalk for Rebel Media, Southern's cameraman was shoved and Southern's protest sign stating "There Is No Rape Culture In The West" was torn up.[19][20]

In March 2016, a protester in Vancouver poured a container of urine over Southern's head while she was engaging with LGBTQ protesters at a rally in Vancouver, arguing that there were "only two genders".[21][22][23]

Southern was mistakenly suspended from Facebook, having criticized the site for banning several conservative commentators. She later received an email apology from Facebook saying the suspension was an "error".[24][25]

In October 2016, Southern had her gender legally changed to male as part of a video produced for Rebel Media to show the ease of Ontario's new gender ID laws.[26][27]

In 2016, Southern authored and self-published Barbarians: How Baby Boomers, Immigrants, and Islam Screwed My Generation.[28][non-primary source needed]

In January 2017, Southern posted incorrect rumours from 4chan that the Quebec City mosque shooting had been carried out by Syrian refugees; she later deleted those tweets.[29] In March 2017, Southern announced she would be leaving Rebel Media to become an independent journalist.[30] In the same month, she gained access to White House press briefings.[31][32]

In April 2017, Southern was one of several scheduled speakers at a Patriots' Day rally in Berkeley, California.[33] The rally led to a riot between pro-Trump demonstrators and anti-Trump counter-protesters.[34]

Support for the targetting of NGO ships

In May 2017, Southern took part in an attempt organized by the identitarian group Génération identitare to block the passage of an NGO ship, the Aquarius (co-owned by SOS Mediterranée and Doctors without Borders), which was leaving Sicily to start a search-and-rescue mission for ship-wrecked migrants off the shores of Northern Africa. Claiming that the goal of the activists "was to stop an empty boat from going down to Libya and filling up with illegal migrants", Southern was briefly detained by the Italian Coast Guard. NGO ships often rescue migrants and refugees, who disembark from Libyan shores on unsafe makeshift rafts, and bring them to Sicily.[35][36] With regard to her actions, Southern stated that "if the politicians won't stop the boats, we'll stop the boats."[8]

Southern supported similar actions by identitarian group Defend Europe, which chartered a vessel in order to track and stop what it called collusion between NGOs and human traffickers. The group has been accused[by whom?] of intending to obstruct the rescue of migrants and refugees in distress at sea. In July 2017, Southern revealed that Patreon had deleted her account out of concerns about her "raising funds in order to take part in activities that are likely to cause loss of life".[37] Southern denied these allegations, stating that Defend Europe's actions were likely to save lives and that none of her funding went towards the group.[38]

In February 2018, Southern, along with Brittany Pettibone and Caolan Robertson, distributed flyers in the English town of Luton that said, "Allah is a Gay God".[39]

In March 2018, Southern, Pettibone, and Pettibone's boyfriend, Martin Sellner, were all denied entry to the United Kingdom.[40] Southern was also questioned under the Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.[39] Her denial of entry was on the same grounds as Pettibone and Sellner.[41] A representative from the British Home Office stated, "Border Force has the power to refuse entry to an individual if it is considered that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good."[10]

2018 New Zealand tour

In 2018, Southern and Canadian podcaster and YouTuber Stefan Molyneux had planned to speak in Auckland's North Shore in early August. However, the visit was cancelled after the Mayor of Auckland Phil Goff announced that the Auckland Council would not allow city premises to be used to "stir up ethnic or religious tensions". In response, Southern denied assertions that her views were "hate speech" and complained that New Zealand had been infected by the "bug of progessivism".[42][43]

New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters and National Party leader Simon Bridges said they would have supported her right to speak, while Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson said she supported the ban.[44][45] Human rights lawyer Craig Tuck criticized Mayor Goff's decision as a violation of free speech, while the cancellation of Southern and Molyneux's tour was welcomed by the Auckland Peace Action activist group and the Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ).[42] By contrast, The Spinoff contributor Ali Shakir said that while he disagreed with many of Southern's views, he thought she and Molyneux should be welcomed to New Zealand and said that barring them damaged the country's commitment to freedom of expression and raised "serious concerns about the process." Shakir also questioned FIANZ's claim to speak for all Muslims.[46] A group called the Free Speech Coalition advocated for a judicial review of the cancellation and raised NZ$50,000 in less than 24 hours.[47] The group's supporters included former Labour Party cabinet minister Michael Bassett, former National and ACT parties leader Don Brash, Property Institute chief executive Ashley Church, Auckland University of Technology historian Paul Moon, broadcaster Lindsay Perrigo, political commentator Chris Trotter, and New Zealand Taxpayers' Union director Jordan Williams.[48]

On 20 July, Immigration New Zealand granted visas for Southern and Molyneux to visit New Zealand. While describing their views as “repugnant” and “counter to the kind and tolerant values of the vast majority of New Zealanders”, Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway cleared their entry on the grounds that the duo had met immigration character requirements including not having prior criminal convictions. He added that they were never banned from Australia or the United Kingdom as previously reported.[12] Southern welcomed the news and tweeted that she hoped that she and Molyneux could be "unbarred" from their venue as well.[49][50]

On 25 July, Southern and Molyneux cancelled their trip to New Zealand. The Free Speech Coalition said time had run out to find alternative arrangements for the pair, following the Auckland Council ban.[51] On 26 July, Southern and Molyneux's promoter David Pellowe said that the duo would be speaking in Auckland after claiming that a new speaking venue had been found.[52][53]

2018 Australian tour

Shortly before a planned speaking tour of Australia in July 2018, Australia's Department of Home Affairs denied Lauren Southern an Electronic Travel Authority visa, saying it was “not a working visa”.[11] She intended to charge $79 for a basic ticket and up to $749 for an “intimate dinner”.[54] The Australian government allowed her to enter the country once she had the correct visa.[55] Arriving at Brisbane airport, she was wearing an "It's OK to be white" shirt.[56][57]

Views

Southern has been widely and internationally described as alt-right,[b] far right[a] and right-wing.[c] The Southern Poverty Law Center has described Southern's videos as anti-feminist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and borderline white nationalist.[58]

Southern has spoken in opposition to feminism[59] and has said that women are "not psychologically developed to hold leadership positions".[60] In 2015 she attended SlutWalk and held a sign that read, "There is no rape culture in the West."[61] She also said that it was "insane" to focus on the issue.[62]

Southern has promoted the white genocide conspiracy theory.[63][64][65][66] She has advocated for European countries to refuse refugees from Africa and Asia, saying that immigration would lead to white genocide.[65] In 2018 Southern produced a documentary called Farmlands about post-Apartheid farm violence in South Africa.[60] The tagline for the documentary's trailer, "Crisis. Oppression. Genocide?" reflected a broader white nationalist campaign against perceived racially motivated violence against white farmers.[67]
