    You keep hearing about the GOP vilifying and persecuting LGBTQ+ people because it’s against the supposed ideals of the country and the GOP keep doing it. If you want news about LGBTQ+ issues to stop, you need to make the GOP stop.

      You are being distracted. Focus. You CAN eat your local representative. One bite at a time.

      People don’t need to know what is in the chilli at the cookout.

        Innocent people being villified, persecuted, attacked and oppressed isn’t just a “distraction”, it’s a serious problem that’s heading towards genocide.

        We can chew bubble gum and walk at the same time, by which I mean deal with this AND their other fuckery.

          It’s actually very simple. Don’t do sexually explicit shit around children. You are free to do it not in front of children and this law has no bearing on that.

            Why are you defining drag shows as inherently sexually explicit? If a man wears a flowing dress with bloomers underneath, is it sexually explicit?

              You know that’s not what drag shows are. I’ve been to 3 different ones (with a group of a friends, not on my own) and every single one had some serious sexual undertones. The default means of “tipping” was tucking dollar bills down the drag queen’s shirt, or simply tossing it at them like a stripper. They twerked with very revealing clothing on, etc. I wish you would just be honest about what drag shows actually consist of most of the time. Of course there are outliers but I think the history of drag shows clearly show demonstrate the inherent sexual nature of it all.

                You went to three drag shows for adults. That’s not what it’s like when kids are there. Just like there are plays for adults and plays for kids or bands that play for adults and bands that play for kids. I saw They Might Be Giants in a bar after their children’s album No came out. They swore. A lot. You would go to that show and say they weren’t appropriate for children.

                  One of them had children around there was extensive twerking and other sexually explicit material. “That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal”

                    One of them. Well we better ban all of them then.

        Ugh, this isn’t a fucking joke, this is people’s lives. You’re allowed to focus on more than one thing too, btw
