    So What?
    The Parents felt like taking their Kids...
    Is DeSantis going to decide how Parents raise their Kids?
    Give me a break...:bored:

    Prolly not without some degree of ridiculing, from many examples and observations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Why can none of you state what you feel is so inappropriate.

    You (all you / y’all is a general you, non specific) don’t care if children are around scantily clad women, y’all don’t care if they are around women dancing semi-provocatively, you don’t care if they are exposed to adult themes as long as they are religious or in movies — drag shows are not necessarily sexually explicit and should be up to the parents.

    Yeah?
    EXCEPT: That DOESN'T answer the question...
    "might not be appropriate" DOES NOT = "Sexually Explicit"...
    By all means, feel free to try again...

    If this was women would you have an issue with it?
    Would you be wanting to close these venues?
    Should parents that take their children to Marco Gras be arrested?

    It is absolutely hilarious how anybody claiming that "Drag Shows are Sexually Explicit" is seeing their egregiously misguided "arguments" being absolutely destroyed (in this thread) and they keep doubling down on these hideously misguided claims...
    Too funny...

    If it has to be explained, then it's already a futility and those parents morally bankrupt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    They don’t need to see them but the parents have different ideas of what sexually explicit is. You apparently think it is men dressed in heavy clothing dancing is while others believe it is shows meant to elicit a sexual response. Some drag shows are absolutely too much for children but many are not — just like some shows with women dancing are on and others are not.

    Your entire issue seems to be that it is men involved.

    Parents should be able to make that call for their children. Not the state. Not you.

    You’re talking about parental rights now. Many on your side believe parents rights are very limited.

    Changing directions?
    And, backing down from egregiously misguided claims like "Drag Shows are Sexually Explicit"?
    It's a start...Baby Steps...

    Like those notorious Leftists, David Duke and Kanye West!

    This is nothing that I regularly see, on the news that I watch. Perhaps the news that you watch, exaggerates the condemning of "white people?"

    People on my side don’t believe bigotry should be involved in education or schooling. A handful of parents upset about a gay penguin should cause all students to be impacted.

    But feel free to deflect

    Deflecting would be bringing up Muslims, blacks, Indians, etc like you did. Professional deflectors bring up Trump and 1/6.

    Bringing up something that is relevant to the discussion isn’t deflecting. Ignoring points and questions is.

    If so many are, so commonly, "condemning white people," I am sure it will be no trouble for you to provide a link to the Squad doing this (as well as to "white Democrats," condemning white people, as you'd claimed).

    The RIGHT don’t take kids to Mardigras. All people do. And Mardigras during the day is just basic parades. The fun stuff doesn’t happen until the evening and only in specific areas where SORRY, there aren’t any kids. I’ve been 3-4 years in a row back in the 90s and no kids to be found at night where women and guys are stripping and throwing beads.

    And NO ONE defends anyone who actually brings their child to essentially spring break. No one says you SHOULD bring kids nor is there anything going on that is fun for kids. It’s drinking and flashing.

    Quite a different story with public LGBT parades where they want children to watch them while they strip and dry hump each other. They bill drag parades and shows now as family friendly. Mardigras after hours is NEVER pushed as family friendly.

    So your comparison is moronic.

    "The RIGHT don’t take kids to Mardigras. All people do."

    are the right part of all people?

    the point is, if a parent does, it doesn't make all the right evil, doesn't make all heterosexuals evil.... it means one of the parents was stupid

    my comparison is spot on

    What kind of statement is that though? The RIGHT take their kids to Mardigras?? Why say the “RIGHT” at all?

    It’s obvious you don’t know **** about Mardigras because you would know there are no freaking kids on Bourbon street or the French quarter at midnight when the adult things are happening. There is no flashing during parades during the day when kids are out. They’re like July 4th floats with beads. That’s it. Just ignorance. Seriously.

    And no, all gay people aren’t evil since drag shows for kids exist. HOWEVER find me public figures and LGBT leaders that speak out against it? Find me quotes from prominent democrats speaking against Drag story hour or kids at drag events? Please.

    I know there are LGBT groups that are against it but these groups are HATED by the standard Leftist activists and politicians. That’s the rub. The Right will quickly speak out against people doing horrible things. Democrats DEFEND them blindly.

    The BS about the supposed Don't day gay bill is all the proof we need. Democrats SUPPORT children being taught about sex behind their parents backs. There is no other way to defend it. They wouldn’t lie about the bill if they knew WTF they were talking about or had any morals at all.

    They speak from a stage or pure ignorance.

    that is the point, it's stupid to blame an entire group based on the actions of a few stupid people in a group
