“Drag can be appropriate for all ages,” Brigitte Bandit, an Austin drag queen who frequently performs at birthday parties, told the @TexasObserver. “It’s simply a way to express yourself and have fun, and why not allow kids to see something like that?” https://www.texasobserver.org/drag-ban-sb-12-aclu-lawsuit/ Another must-read from @oconnell
@feld@TexasObserver@gabrielarana@oconnell the fact that kids are being involved in activities with overtly sexual themes is far more concerning than anything else. dont throw the token gay under the bus dude.
Have you been to any drag shows at all? I've been to several and none were overtly sexual. Assuming that drag == sexual is the issue that divides so many people.
Weird that you never see drag queen hospice volunteer hour, drag queen community garden maintenance or drag queen soup kitchens. Super weird how your charity always begins and ends with children. Just a crazy coincidence I'm sure.
@gabrielarana@TexasObserver@oconnell why would someone WANT to make something that is colloquially understood to be overtly sexual be made into something that can be "appropriate for all ages"?
@jeff@oconnell@TexasObserver I think this mischaracterizes what drag queens want to do. They are not adopting sexual shows for kids. They are instead performing no sexual shows for kids, which is why this isn’t a problem that needs government intervention.
@feld@gabrielarana@TexasObserver@oconnell Why is your primary concern always the children? You never want to dress up in drag for veterans, for the old folks, for cancer patients. It is always children. It is this incontrovertible fact that even normal people are waking up to.
The word “existing” means “to be.” If “existing” for trans and drag practitioners places their default state of being around children, then this assessment is further proven: that you want to be around children for the explicit purposes of warping their malleable minds to your perversions and the ideologies built around those perversions.
These “people” should then not be “bullied into suicide.” They should just be given the old country gravel road massage until they are a bloody, 2.5 mile-long smear across the backroads. You people are sick, and you people are evil.
