re: Christmas themed, all ages drag show in TX

This is where I'm at. Don't really have a problem with LGTBQ folks in general. Just the element that categorizes those of us disagreeing about drag shows for kids being appropriate all of a sudden freaking out and calling us homophobic or whatever.

I agree. I see nothing homophobic about disliking drag shiws for kids. The issues are unrelated. Drag performers are a TINY percentage of gay folks. Hell, a (tiny) handful of drag performers are not even gay.

It is weird the way the lines get blurred in these discussions.

Probably half of posters in these threads make reference to "trannies" when discussing drag performers. The percent of drag performers who are transgender is almost as tiny as the percent of drag performers who are straight. Hell, ruPaul has said that he won't even allow transgender folks to compete on the Drag Race.

What did I "defend?" Be specific. Quote my exact language and explain exactly what it "defends."

Whats more worrisome is the move lump to pedophiles in with all LGBTQ folks. I see it more and more. These kinds of "all ages shows" are just adding more fuel to the fire that is going to end tragically at one of these events and will likely spread violence to more LGBTQ gatherings and bars.

I’ll defer to your apparent clinical expertise on the meaning of the “jmmies rustled” meme.

It has been around for at least a decade. LINK

A child has a far better chance of being sexually assaulted at church or by a church staffer than at a drag show.

You are so full of crap you must blow shite-bubbles when you talk. Every honest person on this board knows full well the orchestrated agenda that is at play here.

Your constant gaslighting campaign to normalize this depravity fools no one and frankly is getting stale. Just stop it.

Just leave the children alone. That is the line that should not be blurred.

No, I was too busy consoling your mom. She was all distraught and crying. She just kept repeating, “Why can’t he be normal?”

There is no persuasive data to the effect that gays are more likely to be pedophiles.

---

Numerous studies have shown a rate of roughly 2:1 between heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles.

Given that homosexuals are about a percent and a half of the population, your statement is either a purposeful lie or you are incredibly ignorant.

You are either mistaken or using the terminology incorrectly.

The studies show that adults who are heterosexual WITH ADULT PARTNERS and adults who are homosexual WITH ADULT PARTNERS offend against pre-pubescent children at approximately the same rates. Yes, both do tend to offend against male children more often than female children, but there are numerous theories as to why this is the case. The most-likely (in my opinion) is "ease of access." In other words, female children tend to be kept under closer supervision, making it easier for them to access male children.

Not sure why you used the WITH qualifier.

Because that is how the studies analyze the data.

The premise is to determine whether a person is homo- or heterosexual based upon the sex of his chosen partners when potential partners of BOTH sexes are equally-available, since potential prepubescent VICTIMS are NOT equally-available.

The data seem to indicate that sexual molestation of prepubescent children is very much a crime of opportunity, and the opportunities to molest a male child seem to just be much greater than the opportunity to molest a female child. Thus, defining the gender preference of offenders would be badly-skewed if the study relied upon the sex of the VICTIMS alone.

Not a perfect analogy, but imagine that you want to hunt for venison. You live in a place that has TONS of white tail, but only a handful of mule deer. All you want is venison. You don't CARE if it is white tail or mule deer, but you kill white tail because they are available. A study finding that hunters in the area PREFER white tail based solely upon kill totals would be fatally-flawed.
