re: If Drag Queens intentions are pure, why don't they simply wear their everyday clothes

Why do circus clowns wear their makeup when performing for kids? Certainly they could do magic tricks and tie balloon animals in street clothes, right?

Because they are PERFORMERS. It is their NATURE.

Last I checked, kids weren't putting dollar bills in a clown's thong in a gay bar with adults drinking around them.

Try as I might, I simply cannot remember pubertal blockers or genital mutilation associated with those other groups, and being pushed at them by adults.

But if the number of permanently damaged children is small enough then it's inconsequential and we're silly for discussing it.

I've stated before that I didn't think he deserved his ban, but post-ban Hank sucks hard. It's like he ditched the admittedly smallish effort that he once put into honest discussion and he's going to be 100% troll in order to punish whoever banned him.

And none of that happens at these library events. You are conflating these events with parents taking their children to an actual drag show, like that “lick it” event on Oak Lawn in Dallas.

In essence, you are comparing (1) a parent who takes his child to the multiplex movie theater that is willing to sell dad a beer with (2) the dad who takes his kid to a blood on the floor dive bar.

Is it theoretically possible that you are ruining the kid’s life forever by letting him see someone drink a beer at the cartoons? I suppose. But the kid is in actual physical danger at that bucket of blood bar.

I think it notable that these events have been ongoing for about 7 years, yet we have been presented evidence of exactly ONE instance of egregious bevavior (Sasha Sota in Minnesota 3 years ago). I suspect that event was the last at which Mr. Sota was allowed to appear.

This is the absolute weakest attempt to justify this shite. There's literally nothing these sexual deviants can do that you won't defend. You're comparing going to a movie theater with a kid that happens to serve booze with taking a child to a highly sexualized performative event who's expressed intent is to expose children to a highly sexualized lifestyle. It's impressive to watch useful idiots such as yourself bend over backwards to justify this shite so you can feel good about yourself and do this just to annoy people who rightfully call it out for what it is. I'm 100% convinced that there is a direct proportionality between the amount that people consider themselves educated, open-minded, and enlightened and absolute, sheer stupidity. You really, really have to have heavy blinders on in order to take the stance you do on this shite. But, then again, you're an aggie, so I'm sure this is pretty normal shite for you anyway so you can't really look at this from an objective view.

At preschools? I kind of doubt it. This organization tends to focus on libraries.

But, again, I doubt there are any numbers available. But the point of the post was not the actual number. Rather, the way each “side” would interpret whatever number might be accurate.

SICK!

Drag Me to Brunch!

The topic of the thread is story time at the library. Yes, I have no real problem with that sort of event.

And deep down you know it is innocuous, so you they to equate it with drag shows at Oak Lawn bars AND argue that I have supported THOSE events (I have not, so try and provide a link).

As far as the theater discussion, I will just assume that you do not understand analogies.

So, 12 events at preschools in New York. NY is approximately 7% of the US population, so we can roughly extrapolate that to 171 events nationwide … not far from the 200 that Bass and I were discussing.

Thx for the data.

How do you like the sickness of "Well they don't really go into PRESCHOOL" as if it's ok at any OTHER level.
