Ask why anyone is paying Drag Queens to parade before an audience of children.Because it is a paid gig and they know how to change the tone and material to be child friendly????????

Because if you knew anything about drag - it is not all about sex. It could be a guy dressed as 50s house wife. No one said anything to Robin Williams when he made a children’s movie in drag.Ask why anyone is paying Drag Queens to parade before an audience of children.
Well this begs the question.Beats me why people are blaming Drag Queens for children being there. It's not like children magically appeared there...they were brought by their parents.
So, the question is, why are parents bringing their children to adult-themed shows?
So Ross Petty does drag at Xmas every year. But it is Pantomime drag. Other comedians also did drag dating back to Minton Berle, Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, in modern media and to doubt even further.Well this begs the question.
Is drag automatically “adult-themed” because it is a man dressing as a woman? Or is the material of the show what makes it “adult-themed”?
You could have a person dressed a clown suit but make penis balloons while telling pegging jokes.
So it is the attire or the material?
Are you suggesting that drag queens only do readings for political reasons? That the only people who hire drag queens for readings do it for political reason?So Ross Petty does drag at Xmas every year. But it is Pantomime drag.

But it was always played solely for laughs. A dude in a dress looks unfainly, funny, and with a bit if over the top action just works.
The readings etc are as much about politicizing things. And quite simply some parents don't want their kids education time in grade school to be about politics. They want to maintain their innocence for a bit.
That I think is where the line is.
I believe in the use of sex education to teach about being gay. As much as about the biological functions and societal standards of behavior. I think most parents agree.
I'm suggesting enough do, and make sure to get the media attention for doing it, that they cause the label to be applied.Are you suggesting that drag queens only do readings for political reasons? That the only people who hire drag queens for readings do it for political reason?
Can a drag reading only be acceptable if it is funny as well???? Because a man dressed again, as 50s house wife reading in funny voices would be laugh worthy. Depending on the voices and the material. Kids love funny voices.
I think there is a lot of labeling going on. And incorrectly at that
Now if you can show me drag readings that are inappropriate - I will happily call them out.
Reading story books to them with titles like "My Two Dads" featuring cartoons of men cornholing each gave me a different impression.Because if you knew anything about drag - it is not all about sex.
Do you have data to support this assertion? What percentage of drag shows aimed at children are for political vs non-political reasons?I'm suggesting enough do, and make sure to get the media attention for doing it, that they cause the label to be applied.
Can you share the link to the book showing “cornholing”?Reading story books to them with titles like "My Two Dads" featuring cartoons of men cornholing each gave me a different impression.
I don’t know. I follow the careers of some of these drag queens and they are nothing like you describe.I'm suggesting enough do, and make sure to get the media attention for doing it, that they cause the label to be applied.
Probably true…but that’s because this whole issue is being driven by people who want to stir up hate against the trans community. The bizarre, off the wall stories are the only ones that serve their political interest so they barrage social media platforms with this stuff.I suspect that there are 1,000s of shows that we have no idea about and only the outlier/really bad ones are we really aware about. Thus, it may skew our perception of what really happens.
Can you please provide evidence that this scenario you’re describing has ever actually happened…anywhere?Reading story books to them with titles like "My Two Dads" featuring cartoons of men cornholing each gave me a different impression.
I might double down on that and say anyone, anything that’s deemed different or abnormal from societies “norms”.Probably true…but that’s because this whole issue is being driven by people who want to stir up hate against the trans community. The bizarre, off the wall stories are the only ones that serve their political interest so they barrage social media platforms with this stuff.
Here on terb, it’s the same people who used to post obsessively about Muslims doing bad things- every time a Muslim got a speeding ticket or jay walked their were breathless, pearl-clutching threads about how Muslims could not be assimilated into Western culture, No Go neighbourhoods that were ruled by Sharia Law, etc, etc,…. The mods here on terb, and most other mainstream social media platforms don’t allow islamophobic posting anymore so now they attack the trans community.

What data do ypu have percentage wise that aren't?Do you have data to support this assertion? What percentage of drag shows aimed at children are for political vs non-political reasons?
So the ones being shown on TV are outliers?I don’t know. I follow the careers of some of these drag queens and they are nothing like you describe.
Jeez, so you get it! But I don't think there are 1000's of shows.I suspect that there are 1,000s of shows that we have no idea about and only the outlier/really bad ones are we really aware about. Thus, it may skew our perception of what really happens.
