Heavily armed Antifa militants 'stand guard' outside Texas 'kid friendly' drag show

I have long had gay friends. I did not need to be urged or trained to be that way, it just came naturally to me. I have long considered that being gay is essentially a genetic condition. I have long known that the phenomenon extends to other species like cattle. I'm straight but I'm not offended by gays, at all. I am very tolerant.

That said, all this talk today, the Woke nonsense that has even infiltrated the military of all places, has a strong air of desperation about it, insecurity might be a better word.

So I don't care if people cross dress and parade around, I really don't. I just smile and chuckle.

But why do laws need to be written about it? Why must the schools contain a curriculum about it? Why the big fooking deal about it? I see some measure of insecurity being manifest.

 

Sounds like you’re a good friend. That’s fantastic. There’s a lot of people that aren’t. There’s a lot of people that are discriminated against for something you believe to be genetic. Something that is immutable. You agree that’s bad, right.

What’s wrong with efforts to normalize and reduce alienation of a minority group?

Why are there laws against discrimination based on race? Why do schools teach kids about the world and the people in it? It’s about making life better for everyone.

 

This is a very weak excuse and I'm incredibly disappointed in you. Not surprised, just disappointed.

Its not a supposed anything: You selected as a topic being paid period when being paid period was not what was complained of. That's a thing that demonstrably happened.
You did that because you wanted to argue the strawman you did. Don't try to church it up now or walk it back, at least own what you do in life ffs.

You certainly SEEM afraid of them, since you misquote them and have gone on for ****ing pages since complaining about it despite saying you don't want to type much.
Your actions don't seem to match up to your rhetoric. A person is allowed to take their own inferences from that. My personal opinion is you now don't want to engage since you see I'm capable of defending my very nuanced points.

 

Again: See post 182 I already broke it down for you. You don't want to read it? That's on you chief.
But we'll all form our own opinions about why you won't.

 

I'm citing a subject matter expert on their own field. I'm offering their opinion on the subject for rebuttal. You have offered no argument in rebuttal re: Drag being adult entertainment, but for citing pantomime play traditions of men playing women because THEY DIDN'T LET WOMEN IN THE THEATRE IN THOSE DAYS. Maybe go watch Shakespeare in Love if you need a low impact explanation? Suffice to say pantomime and theatre traditions shaped by the positive law of several ****ing centuries ago are not what Drag Queens (and the 4 other types the expert expounded upon. Can you name them all? Did you even watch the video? ) are and not what my point discusses.

But feel free to tilt at that strawman all you'd like.

 

That's the thing: We saw it on tape from several angles with audio. We know exactly what really happened, you just want to defend a dead pedophile who was committing felonious assault for some unknown reason.

 

Except that's not a drag performance, that's a pantomime performance. Drag is not pantomime ffs.

 

You're entitled to your opinion.
Double down if it bothers you that much.
Pantomime Dames are part of the same genre as Drag acts.

 

Disappointment implies that your expectation wasn’t met. That would suggest you were in fact surprised.

I’m not going to further defend my preference for brevity. Take it for what it is or don’t. That’s fine.

 

Feel free to. I can’t stop you.

 

Hmm, RuPaul is of the opinion that Drag is for everyone to enjoy. Guess my expert beats yours?

 

Who do you think "hates us" so much respectively? The Taliban? Putin's Russia? North Korea? Because most of our allies in the Western World; Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. all find social-conservatives' America laughable in its puritanically prudery.

The British have had pantomime dames (cross dressing fun characters) in their winter theatrical shows for kids for centuries:

"A pantomime dame is a traditional role in British pantomime. It is part of the theatrical tradition of travesti portrayal of female characters by male actors in drag. Dame characters are often played either in an extremely camp style, or else by men acting butch in women's clothing. They usually wear heavy make up and big hair, have exaggerated physical features, and perform in an over-the-top style."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantomime_dame

Have you traveled around the world to ask people what they actually think of us or do you just close your eyes and make up your beliefs to fit your narrative?

 

But the very definition of the word "inherently" means that to be so, they all would have to be.

 

Drag isn't "transgenderism". Most males in drag are males out of drag and wish to remain so.

One is a silly performance act and one is a potentially lifelong medical condition.

 

I'll rely on the expert from the link I posted, they seem to not include pantomime dames in their list of drag types.
Guess they're a bigot or something.

 

Why would you say that? Because dude has a tv show? Lol sure dude whatever helps you.
I'm sure the tv show star has no conflict of interest

 

O sure sure

 

Nope pantomime dames are definitely drag acts. They're just not associated so much with America so maybe that's why they're not so well known.

 

There is a difference between Drag Queens (entertainers) and trans people that want stuff all their beliefs down your throat and pronoun police people, just saying. I just think the difference needs to be pointed out because drag queens are not the same thing.

 

Under no circumstance are any of us required to 'accept' things we don't agree with, but we are required to be kind to individuals.

Few things could be less 'noble' than exposing kids to adult sexuality.

 

In Pantomime 'ugly' men are almost always chosen to dress up as females, so it's abundantly clear to kids that they ARE men. They barely alter their masculine behaviour for the same reason. Kids understand it's dress ups.

Drag artists of the 21st might wear similiar makeup and hair, but most are not making anywhere near enough effort to be clear about their masculinity. And worse still, they're out of context. There's no context at all, as far as the kid is concerned, which is incredibly confusing. Eventually they'll understand it as adult sex play.

 

Men?
Only men?

These people are mentally ill and morally bankrupt

 

The KKK is marginalized, we shouldn’t bring children to a KKK rally.

Children should not be exposed to some things, antifa and a gay show being two.

 

The left keeps saying this, but always comes up with zero proof beyond a couple anecdotes.

Yet, somehow conveniently are capable to overlook literally months of lawlessness, crime, and killing by hordes of lefties.
