Ironic, isn't it?

It depends on the drag show. Some of them are a little too sexual to bring kids to, otherwise I agree.

You hear more about kids getting molested at church than drag shows, that’s for sure. There’s probably even data supporting that too

Highly sexualized, hyper-stereotyped parodies of women. As a father of two, why anyone wants their kids involved with that is beyond me.
intaglioguy
Sorry to hear your children have to deal with your mental deficiencies. They deserve better.

Hell, just owning a gun you are more likely to be shot by it by accident or on purpose than you are likely to ever need it for defense.

My kid's high school has a drag show every year, this is one of my fears.

And it never happens aye

I mean, there have been more school shootings than shootings at drag shows.

Still not comforting.

The Christians with guns know this is the only danger, it's why they have to bring the guns and kill people, it is their will being done.

I'd seriously consider bringing my ASSAULT RIFLE to a drag show to hold a line of defense outside the doors.

Nah, oughta bring something that really instills fear into them. 20" rainbow colored dildo should suffice.
IdiotSavantTinker
I want to read that news story, where the shooter is beaten to death with sex toys before he can hurt anyone.
3leggedpup
I feel like most people should be afraid of a 20" rainbow colored dildo. What else could one use that for than bludgeoning someone to death?

I wouldn't take my kids to a drag show for the same reason I won't take them to a strip show. Nothing to do with gender.

They already tried that one and failed to actually stop the drag show. It went on just fine.

This shit has happened twice in NC lately. Fucking domestic terrorists, but they'll probably not get those charges knowing my state.. Ugh.

happened a few times in Oregon and Washington too. Outside of the big cities there's a lot of meth and inbreeding round these parts

ThomasHarris111
I've asked this a couple times but never gotten an answer. Why is kids going to drag events a hill we're willing to, literally, die on?
ThomasHarris111
I'm not saying drag events in general, specifically ones tailored for kids. It seems like an obvious lightning rod for outrage with no uniqe
ThomasHarris111
Or specific goal other than... Acceptance and tolerance? Which, to my knowledge, never needed to involve kid events before
Lulabel73
I bet all the anti drag show talk has made drag shows even more popular.
KevinKeene
technically, the drag show is carrying too
DeVermisMysteriis
I'm about as socially liberal as you can be, but I just don't get the whole drag queen story hour. It's weird.
CraftyGiant
Adults in costumes reading to kids. what's hard to understand?
Specializedchuck
Sure take your kids to the show..it's your business...my kids go to public school...let's keep it business casual instead of the night club
Kbantar
I didn't find it odd until you phrased it that way. I'd be just as weirded out by someone reading to kids in a giant Teletubby costume.
CraftyGiant
So all of Disneyland weirds you out?
Kbantar
A single person in costume in a venue not inherently about fictional characters come to life is what I find odd.
Kbantar
If there was only one person in costume in the entire facility and they were reading to kids... yes. I would be weirded out.
DeVermisMysteriis
Don't oversimplify it. Drag shows are almost always bawdy and sexualized. I don't think it's grooming or anything sinister. It's just odd
Kbantar
I think I see your point. But a drag character can be non-sexual in some venues and not in others.... just like I bet you can be.
CraftyGiant
No, and you're an ignorant bigot.
DeVermisMysteriis
ConfederacyOfDunces
Which are you taking about: Drag Shows or DQ story hours?
DeVermisMysteriis
The story hours. Drag shows in general are perfectly fine entertainment for adults. It's meant for adults.
ConfederacyOfDunces
I guess you don't have an answer since you've gone on to argue with others and ignored this.
ConfederacyOfDunces
So when you say "drag shows are .. bawdry" to support saying that DQ story hours seem strange to you, how do those connect in your mind?
LrrrRulerOfThePlanetOmicronPerseiEight
So you've never been to a story hour then. There's nothing sexual about it.
DeVermisMysteriis
Somehow, this has been made a core issue for the left. That's how you get a president like trump. Taking a stand on drag story hour.

BishlamekGurpgork
Nah. The violence isn't controlled or directed. It's just a byproduct of normalizing hate. On a large scale they'd rather oppress through
BishlamekGurpgork
legislation and marginalization, but the problem with an ideology of hate is that it's founded in emotion and fear, which are reactive.

Overwhelming majority of terrorist activity in the United States are committed by white males who are self-identified as Christian.

Not really eco terrorism is still up there. And also gang violence along cartel crimes. But we don't count those acts of terror
AgnosticPaladin
When was the last time someone died in an act of eco-terrorism? Or do you put property damage on the same level with murder?

self-identified? Is there any other way to be identified as a christian? perhaps a medical diagnosis? a judge ruling? DNA test?

Using fear and threats to enact political change or control. I'd say any religion with a concept of karma or hell kind of counts.

LicensedAdHominem
The difference is nominal as long as the religious keep encouraging hate and not rejecting the hateful within their respective cults, ⤵
LicensedAdHominem
⤷ or don't reject the cult themselves. Catholic Church, for instance, is guilty of enabling hate and so are all Catholics for not splitting.
LicensedAdHominem
I mean for fucks sake, if identifying as a member of a cult is more important to you than actual human lives, then obviously you're broken.
LicensedAdHominem
What I "enjoy" the most about apologists is "buh this small cult that doesn't hate" as if it was about that. Fucking focus. Christofascism.
