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

Fair enough. It is certainly true that not all drag performers are gay ... just the VAST majority. The bulk of those in this thread seemed focused on the "gay element," and I wrongly imputed the same focus to you. My apologies.

I'll say your halfway right. Seeing as homosexuality is a perverse action, and that it doesn't support a morally aligned society, I don't think it should be advertised to kids either as ok. It should be largely ignored and allowed to be contextualized by parents and communities the parents choose, because of the type of issue it is. At large, it shouldn't be celebrated. Acceptance should be the only goal, but we've gone so far past that at this point, and that doesn't come in the form of explaining homosexuality to kids under the age of 10 or 12.

So, your concern is not so much the "grooming" of kids (to temporarily accept the thread-majority definition), but rather the DRAG ITSELF, because drag is (by design) a critique of gender roles. You see an attack on gender roles as being bad for society.

---

Eh? No, I'm saying that drag by defition is a complicated morally perverse topic meant to desensitize anyone, kid or adult, which really is grooming, which really is why celebrating drag with kids in any form is morally reprehensible.

Drag story hours are an intended act to create more sexually accepting children. Period. Doesn't matter if their costume is "successful" or not. It's purely about sex and moral limitations. And has no place being celebrated in anything outside of adult-only communities and locations.

Wait, you mean clowns aren't gay? Hank says they are one in the same and drags are just entertainers too. The way I see it, clowns entertain kids while drag queens want to be entertained by kids if you get my drift!

No, Hank drew an analogy about performers preferring to wear their regalia while performing.

But it was one of your usual really, really shitty analogies.

Perhaps you should try harder.

Yes. As Roadie and I were discussing, there is no question that this is occurring to some extent. The question is "to what extent?"

Others have addressed this more thoroughly, but you seem to have a hard time understanding this concept. There is not a question of macro effect. That specific issue could not even be studied until a much later time

The prevalence and impact of macro effects would be important in these types of situations

- we were developing a specific law enforcement task force to focus on the issue
- we were changing education outcomes for a specific grade level

When you are dealing with the specific use of a public accommodation , then risk is evaluated, not epidemic effect

You ascribe a point of view to people argue against that, and then just try to find excuses to talk about your self

If a herptologist wants to do a children’s program, you wouldn’t deny them a permit because your anti-serpent, but you might look closely into the safety measures before granting that permit.

No one is anti-gay because they analyze whether certain activities are age appropriate. People are discussing that item, but you just seem to want to win an argument, or in your words have fun by responding with hyperbole

Cool, I can't wait for you to apply this kind of logic to every public and private activity.
