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

Isn't the group in question exercising their 2nd amendment rights and protecting a group of people from attack, much like what Oath keepers and 3 Percenters do all the time?

 

I guess kids understand it's dress-ups when the drag queen has a beard too?

I can't imagine anybody straight or gay finding drag queens remotely sexual. Straight men are attracted to (mostly) feminine women and gay men are attracted to (mostly) masculine men.

I just did a quick google of gay porn titles and it mostly showed up military, various contractors and pizza delivery guys; not men appearing as women. I didn't have to Google straight porn to discover drag queens aren't high on the list of subject matter either so what's the (non) beef?

Drag is as far as I can tell sexually inert. Of course there's innuendo but that's for the adults to "get" but the kids are blithely unaware of that because they're kids. They just see the silly man in a dress.

You might be familiar with the British drag maestro Danny La Rue:




And you'll certainly know the more adult skewing Australian Barry Humpries AKA Dame Edna Everage (a total comic genius):



Some of their work might be what we'd call "saucy" back in the day but there's no way kids would get that.

Sheesh! If this is what people are obsessing about in 2022 then we've really got issues.

I've witnessed this sort of stuff since I was a kid back in the early 1960s and nobody ever batted an over-exaggerated eyelid about it.

Find some real problems to deal with FFS!

 

Tips might be jokingly "demanded" when drag is performed in an adult context but even then it's not erotic it's a PARODY of straight eroticism. Gay men don't find drag queens erotic. The ONLY men likely to find drag queens erotic are so-called "straight" men with issues and I think that's part of the joke.

Yes because that was the 1950s. A lot has happened since then. We can't go back. Sorry.

 

I've been to drag shows, I've been to gay and lesbian bars. None of them were 'sexual', as in what some people believe.

I still don't think it is necessary to have kids at events like this. What it does, is tell the kids that the people involved are not just people, they special people. It actively separates them from the rest of society, and that is exactly what groups who do this are trying NOT to do.

Some of the best adjusted kids are ones who accept that all people are just like them. Nothing special about them, and the more some of the groups try to paint themselves as 'different' by holding some of these events, the more damage they do to general acceptance by the very audience they are addressing.

 

You kinda nailed it there. The OP stated:

As someone who has actually traveled much the world I can say with confidence that what actually bewilders many is that not only can we walk into a store and legally purchase a functioning semi-automatic weapon but that we can also walk around the street brandishing it without getting arrested.

That's what the world really thinks of us. I doubt they could give a flying fig about our drag queens.

 

Two of the most famous from the UK and Aus respectively: Danny La Rue and Dame Edna Everage both appeared extensively in Pantomime and they both performed independently as drag acts.

 

The KKK would (and have) literally slaughter black people if they had their way. I'd sure like my kids to be educated about who the KKK are and what they stood for. Ignoring the existence of them and their ilk helps no one.

Well if MAGA's gonna come fully loaded, what do you expect kumbaya ukuleles?

What if they have gay parents or aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters?

What if they just switch on the TV?

BTW, in most parts of the world, drag is performed mostly for straight people.

 

Republicans have normalized carrying assault riffles in public, why are they whining now?

did Republicans really think only they could go armed with assault weapons in public?

 

OK, I just spoke with a friend who is gay and asked him what the whole drag thing is about from his perspective.

Firstly drag is a very small part of the gay culture. It is mostly comedic but can also be a political statement.

He confirmed my suspicion that, for many, drag is a parody of heterosexual culture. I learned that most gay men (I haven't spoken to any lesbians about this yet), certainly of his era (in his 60s like me) grew up in a vacuum. Although completely surrounded by them, they couldn't relate to the power complexes in heterosexual relationships happening around and also conveyed in movies, books and TV. Attractive women holding intoxicating power over straight men seemed weird. Watching men driven to the brink of insanity over it seemed ridiculous. For him, seeing all this from the outside had the makings of a comedy show but he could also see how the tables could be turned if the subject was another man. To him, drag was basically mocking that dynamic.

For a real equivalence to straight men stuffing money into female pole dancers underwear in a strip club, you'd need to look at males stuffing cash into the underwear of actual attractive presenting males performing similar activities. That would be considered erotic.

I guess I didn't need to be told to figure that out but it's good to get the confirmation. He also said he thought drag of his era was misogynistic and that neither he nor any of his friends particularly liked it unless it was very funny and sophisticated. Younger people did it better and more cleverly but also in a more open, accepting and mixed culture

 

Yep! Their opponents' weapon of choice had traditionally been the kumbaya ukulele.

You can still get them but sales are way down!

 

Dude: You're missing the whole "drag kids" thing here. Plenty of men and women are attracted to minor children because those men and women have a sickness of the mind.
Sometimes these persons are homosexual. Othertimes they are heterosexual or bisexual.
Putting kids on a stage and letting them dance for tips is child abuse. Letting kids watch people dance on a stage for tips is child abuse.

 

I doubt it, now you can say he "thought" that, but in reality, I do not think that was the case, the only one shooting people that day was him

 

So you would send your kids to a KKK presentation, presented by the KKK and no dissenters allowed to speak or protest?

Most of the world does not have drag parades. Only certain Western nations with people who have too much free time to waste on self destructive activity.

 

Nope but I'd be happy for them to be educated about the KKK and their stated purposes.

Most of the free world does have drag acts (I think parades that are exclusively drag are rare).

Outside of that, Lady-boys are popular and even revered in some parts Asia.

Although it's not the same thing, even Iran assists in helping people in transition.

I suppose that leaves Russia, certain former Slavic states and I don't know anything about China or Africa.

What I do know is which part(s) of the world I would rather live in.

 

Most of what you mention is entertainment, a few oddballs who do their thing and leave everyone else alone, and the sane people tolerate them as entertainment. In the US the lgbt is at war with society, they are intolerant and violent.

The version of lgbt lunacy in the USA is not tolerated outside of some western industrialized nations.

 

Children shouldn’t play with guns, you’d agree, right?

 

I'm part of society (so are they), I've never felt that.

Why should full citizens be subject to anybody else's "tolerance"?

 

Its good to see more folks finally coming around to the recognition that it might be important to protect ourselves from potential oppressors. Even preparing yourself against this make-believe threat will help you be more prepared once you encounter one that actually exists.

 

They gave up their citizenship when they declared a jihad against America.

 

As long as the efforts to normalize and reduce alienation do not include the law, more silly laws, I'm fine.

In fact, all existing laws including the US Constitution ALREADY forbid discrimination based on race, creed and color. Why do we need more, if the existing ones are not being obeyed?

 

Good idea. As long as the lgbt fanatics and progressive socialists respect people and the Constitution and stop denigrating and dehumanizing people they don’t like then we will be fine. But they don’t - see Biden* speech yesterday.

They brought this on themselves. DeSantis is just defending people against democrats and lgbt lunacy.

 

No they didn't any more than you did.

 

The Drag Queens Hanging Around Kids Are Skeeving Me Out.

“I need to know what changed. Was there always this much drag show action around school kids and they were just better at hiding it or did the Dems all go off of their meds at once?”



Weird how Educators want to engage children in everything other than core academics.

 

I once saw one of those crime documentaries and a detective who was interviewed said people who prey on kids like to have justifiable reasons to be around them, reasons like being a teacher, day care worker and stuff like that.
