If someone doesn’t want their 8 year old exposed to drag shows there is a very simple solution: DON’T TAKE YOUR 8 YEAR OLD TO DRAG SHOWS.

Let other people parent their children the way they want. Quit pretending drag queens are the issue here, and not hateful bigots.


I dont want my kid to watch hateful foxnews
Lets outlaw foxnews
This is how absurd these drag show laws are
and
Letting a kid watch foxnews is way more harmful then allowing a kid to see somebody in drag

It’s easy to avoid drag shows.

Very hard to avoid Fox News. It’s in gyms, airports, waiting rooms, etc. Congress should pass anti-Fox laws to keep our children safe!

Should you be allowed to have your 8 year old smoke cigarettes?
Should you be allowed to let your 8 year old not have any schooling?
Should you be allowed to let your 8 year old drink a vodka gimlet?
Should you be allowed to let your 8 year old into a drag show?

I think most Americans would say no to all 4. I guess you disagree. You obviously are not a parent.

No, no, no, yes.

What you believe “most Americans” think is irrelevant.

Correct, I am not a parent. Don’t have the patience for kids. They’re annoying.

It is hatred
Its hatred to tell somebody else they cant have their own kids see somebody in drag
I'm surprised at you
Do you really seriously think this country needs anti drag show legislation
Its against freedom


Going to agree with Terapined here, but that's why I'm curious as to what lengths we are talking about to make sure our own kids are, "Not exposed to," something. I suspect SOOPOO meant exactly what he said, but I'm just making sure. Obviously, my opinion is that you don't need a law categorically preventing something from taking place in order to ensure that your kids are not exposed to that thing.

Foxnews propaganda

That's not even remotely close to what he said.

Anyway, I wouldn't take my kids to any drag shows at the age of eight years old...especially given the fact that neo-Nazis have a recent history of showing up to these things, but if it is not an overtly sexual performance, then it is not for me to tell other parents what to do or not do.

I also don't agree with equating the potential for harm of the top three of SOOPOO's list with that of a kid attending a drag show, but I don't think SOOPOO is literally suggesting that the potential for harm is the same in all cases.

Ed, you continually attribute things to me that I did not say. I have not read SB03 in Tenn. I give specific examples of what I am for or against. Just read my last post to see my feelings on ‘trans’ issues.

It's not particularly long, should you care to read it.
