    You touched on it. Confusion. That is what one of the leftist's greatest tools. Create confusion about everything and especially confuse children.

    Children are still trying to get a sense normality and progressives think it's a great idea to shove abnormality mental disorders down their throats.

    Normalcy, and I am not sure a drag show is a mental disorder. Men have performed in drag since there have been men and performing.

    Does Kabuki qualify for a drag show?

    I would think so.

    All of the first actors in Shakespeare plays were male.

    There is NOTHING "Abnormal"...
    NOR is there anything that would qualify as a "Mental Disorder" that would define Drag Performers...

    Doesn't mean it isn't abnormal and indecent since the entire purpose of drag performance is to do an over the top performance of what woman is as performed by a man.

    Really not appropriate for children.

    Men have done all sorts of disgusting things. Doesn't mean it is normal or acceptable.

    So What?
    "Not Appropriate" DOESN'T (Necessarily) Mean "Sexually Explicit" (Which these Drag Shows clearly AREN'T)..

    Men dressing up as women...is ABNORMAL. It is not normal. Sorry but if you look around society...the vast majority of men in entertainment in business and otherwise are dressed up as men. Men dressing up as women trying to be either convincing or over the top and typically over sexualized.

    Please. Try again.

    Hm, I guess I gave this guy way too much credit. What a pathetic, whiney, authoritarian loser. Guess he may not be that much better than Trump after all.

    That is true, but there is not universal standard for what s and what is not. So why not let everyone decide for themselves?

    Nanny States have tried to outlaw things for not being normal and acceptable in their eyes ever since governments have existed. Doesn't make them right. Anyone supporting this kind of restriction while also being okay with it being legal for a parent to take their child to a rated R movie is full of ****.

    Show me a drag show that isn't a man dressed up in big tits and lip stick dancing provocative.

    Which is why we need an authoritarian government to censor content for them, apparently.

    "The complaint, which was filed Friday, alleges that the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation violated state law in allowing for a person to “commit lewd or lascivious exhibition” in the presence of an individual who is less than 16 years old. "

    I'm ok with this. It is a reasonable complaint.

    Well, we used to say, "whatever you do in the bedroom is your business." And I have no problem with that. Now, that is gone. But this is what the left does.

    Every one is entitled to their opinion (regardless of how misguided that it may be)...
    And, like everyone at PF (where differences of Opinion happen frequently) as long as that opinion can be expressed in a mature adult manner (within PF's Rules of Civility) people have every right to express their opinion...
    I guess we'll have to agree to disagree..
    Carry on...:salute:

    Are you trying to tell me that the majority of men you see are dressed up as flamboyant women? Is that what you are trying to sell me?

    How do you explain homosexuality being observed in lower level animals?

    Check out The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a charity group that often performs in drag.

    So you get to make those judgement calls as to how parents raise their children?

    Why? If it is not hurting you or affecting your life, why do you care?
