Its exactly the same in a very important way. Individuals can go ahead and choose not do it but that doesn’t solve the problem.
What’s the problem ?
Problem is people exposing their genitals to children.
This is already illegal. Allowing drag shows doesn’t make it legal. Banning drag shows wouldn’t make it more illegal. If you think kid friendly drag shows are regularly exposing children to genitalia you are grossly misinformed. The basic premise of a drag show is about hiding their genitals.
Cite your source, please.
I love manufactured rage bait! So tell me about this widespread plague that has been infiltrating our culture. I’ve haven’t heard anything about it until now…
You haven’t heard about it because you just made it up.
Nice one, troll.
Ahh troll, that’s original!
Wow, you questioned my originality. That was a good one too! You made a funny! You’re so clever, I feel really humiliated.
Ah BURN! You got me so good! I nearly shed a tear!
What the heck. I’ve been to my share of drag shows and I never saw any genitals. Can you tell me where the drag shows are with genital exposures? 😎
They can’t, because it doesn’t exist. Most states have restrictions on genital exposure in strip clubs. No way any drag shows are going that far, especially since they usually occur in bars or clubs.
OMG but what about all the children that are hanging out at bars and clubs at 9 o clock at night!
Tell me you don’t know what a drag show is with out saying you don’t know what a drag show is.
Found the guy who’s never been to a drag show
you really have never seen a drag show, have you?
It’s always projection with you people.
I’ve been to at least a dozen drag shows and there was zero sexual acts or genitalia exposed at any of them.
You have never been to one. Clearly.
You’re just here to throw your feces at people and stir up a bunch of emotions, because you’re a fucking sociopath who in my opinion shouldn’t be allowed to mingle with society at all.
One day humanity is going to realize that because stress causes physical damage to the brain and body, psychological assault is a real thing and should be a crime just like physical assault.
If your goal is to hurt people, I don’t give a fuck if it’s physical or mental. You should not be allowed to just decide to hurt people. For any reason.
You should be in a cage.
What do you mean “you people”? I was at one 3 days ago…
You people would love that sort of fascism, wouldn’t you? I bet Trump would love that, too!
Oh no! You accused me of being fasc…
yawn
I know you don’t. That’s the problem.
Look at all those genitals. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Also, these drag queens and the bar put on this show and then donated all of the tips and earnings as a fundraiser for a gentleman I worked with that was going through cancer treatment. Oh the humanity.
I have been to one once. I have photo and video evidence if you’d like me to share. It was in an 18+ bar and there was no nudity. Drag shows are entirely about crossdressing, not stripping.
Show any example where there was a drag show at a child friendly event, and if you happen to pull that off, show any example where they showed there genitals. You can’t, because that doesn’t happen.
You have know idea what the fuck you’re talking about, or you do and you’re arguing in bad faith and just being a bigot.
No one is trying to ban that.
Fair enough. But they’re trying to block explicitly sexual performances, which drag shows aren’t. They’re not putting these on in public parks, but even if they did, it should still be allowed for dudes to put on dresses and dance.
Anyone that shows there genitals in public spaces, especially to children, should be reprimanded. That’s not what’s happening here. This is a law veiled in “protect the children” but it’s just targeted bigotry.
I’ve seen them on more than 1 occasion. Sorry but I didn’t save them because thats not the sort of filth I want on any of my devices.
The Epstein regime does not care about children and you know it.
This isn’t about children, it’s about forcing heteronormative culture down everyone’s throats.
Your culture war is not about children.
Your fake concern isn’t fooling anyone. We have wised up to your bullshit antagonism tactics. We don’t care.
Say whatever you want, but know that we don’t give a fuck about you or your lies.
…no one is talking about “The Epstein Regime”?
We know. We know you guys want to forget about that whole Epstein thing.
We know you don’t care about evidence if it contradicts your world view.
We will remind you every time you play your bullshit games, that this is real life and in real life you choose evil.
You don’t know what you’re talking about or who you’re talking to.
Oooo scary.
You wanna threaten me for real or are you too scared? 😂🙄
Do you want me to threaten you?
Ironic coming from a guy who just showed his ass.
Who showed their ass?
There are no problems with drag shows.
The problem is that they make republicans aroused, cuz their only engagement with drag shows is what their searches for it on PornHub yield. And that makes them confused. And that makes them violent.
Key word trends on porn sites in red sates is a fun little rabbit hole.
You can shove your problem where the sun don’t shine, bigot.
Ah yes. “The problem” of freedom of speech.
Such an inconvenience for Nazis.
None of this has anything to do with free speech. You should argue with your homie who thinks saying mean things to people should land you in jail:
Drag Shows are free speech.
You would know this if you cared whether you were right more than whether you feel right.
Facts don’t care about your feelings ;)
Congratulations on a false equivalence between wanting to deny basic human rights to drag queens versus preventing truly oppressive behavior by those who want to rob others of their basic rights and freedom.
Something, something paradox of tolerance.
Having your feelings hurt because you can’t oppress the harmless freedom of expression of others isn’t the same at all.
Congratulations on not understanding the concept of an analogy.
