    When someone can't address the subject, they will throw anything and everything in to cloud the waters.

    Some 'Drag Queens' are straight guys, some are not.

    The only reason you see these things is because you seek them out. You scour the internet for these videos and when you find them you seem compelled to share that with everyone.

    There is an old joke about a hunter going out to hunt a bear and every time the bear gets the drop on him and "assaults" him. After the 4th time the bear says, "You don't come out here to hunt do you"

    I think you entirely missed the point. No one cares if there are drag shows. Let adults do adult things. When you suggest that the drag show needs to be exposed to little kids, it's like suggesting that kids should be exposed to porn. Why? Does it, in your mind, benefit the kids? I suspect that the reason folks want to expose kids to this is simple. Grooming. I cannot see any other reason.

    You can't see any other reason because you don't want to see any other reason. In this very post you equate a drag show with porn. They are no the same. SOME drag shows can be adult only and I wouldn't want any kids at those shows. MOST drag shows are not.

    LOL... Ive been to LOTS of drag shows. It's akin to public porn. But in an adult setting, who cares? Which was my point. Let kids alone. Stop trying to force sexualization on them. It's disgusting.

    Drag is not a precise term like a number, rather one encompassing those who for some reason are pretending to be the opposite sex. The reasons for that change it's relevance to society.


    Certain reasons make sense. Comedians have appeared in drag many times, but clearly making themselves the joke; they aren't there to fool anybody, but to entertain.
    Most in drag today are in some way- trying to fool themselves. I tend to think to escape themselves, and the psychology says that is because they do not like the person they believe themselves to be- and by assuming a pretense of being something totally opposite, escape the confrontation with self.

    Then- as drag has found that some groups in our society think distortion should be acceptable, it has come to demand that society see it not as the perversion or diversion it is, but to normalize it, even celebrate it as normalcy. This is where the entire shift has become toxic to society; eroding people's sense of identity, suggesting that fake is as valuable as genuine.

    This is one of those things that only serves any kind of purpose when it's limited and appropriately done- but out of that containment and celebrated, it becomes promotion of delusion, perversion and escape from reality and all the responsibilities that every human being owes to his or her own species- To be what you are, and do it as well as you possibly can.

    Addictions take many forms, but they are all means of escape. Ask any psychologist about common ones, such as alcoholism. He will tell you that a mature person handles the challenges of life head-on, but an immature person dodges them- and typically uses something to dull the discomfort that creates. Thus, while all immature people are not alcoholics.... all alcoholics are immature. The addiction does not have to be drugs; it is anything one becomes obsessed with that provides the escape from dealing with their personal reality. Pretending you are someone or something else provides that. And if you can convince society that it's a good thing- such as putting on drag shows for children.... you are better able to tell yourself you are normal, and you are teaching those children that they can avoid reality by pretending they are not who they are. Unfortunately, this particular perversion is tied to sexuality, and the people we see doing drag shows for children invariably are distorting and focusing on abnormal sexuality.

    Children are learning all the time. How adults behave, the role models kids see- are lessons as well.

    The argument is not about the fact that men in Scotland sometimes wear kilts, or that native tribes wear this or that, because they are not pretending to be what they are not, and it has nothing to do with sexuality. Drag is all about sexuality, fakery, escape and seeking societies acceptance of the perversion it represents when used in that way. It serves the emotional needs of the person in drag, at the expense of those they expose themselves too.

    If we brought alcoholics to schools and presented shows teaching the the benefits of being drunk, it would be similar in nature to drag shows for kids- or for that matter, presenting people in drag or transgender as normal. Society is like a soup, we are all in the same bowl. The quality of the ingredients, the conduct we allow, controls the quality of the overall- and the environment our children will learn from.

    See opening post for the sheer mockery of the discussion and a complete disregard of reality.

    I don't understand the obsession with many on the left and children exposure to nasty drag men.

    Except that is not a sexualized display, nor are they dressed outside the norm for the tribal culture they are larping as.

    google "egg cracking" and disregard the literal links. Its what the weirdos call grooming a child not their own to end up like them.
    Think of it as a perverse form of reproduction.

    yes I sought truth and I held it that can happen for you too.
    you don't have to scour pretty easy to find.
    What are you talking about you said I saw some videos that you think I had to really look hard for I did not. Yeah I saw some videos of some really disturbing things I didn't have to look hard for them that's the only part you got wrong.

    How about this definition with two populist icons in a drag video?

    No it is a highly intimidating display so much so that opposing Rugby teams have complained about how the All Blacks do the Haka before every match, which just make the Kiwis smile.

    When I was growing up, we had drag racing. We would pit our 1940 Ford and against a 1940 Chevrolet. As long as the Ford could last for a quarter mile, the Ford always won.

    Now drag racing is done in high heels and is much more dangerous. You can very easily break your ankle.

    junkie turtle for the win. of course i think drag queens have civil and human rights that should be respected as all other humans, but really, this issue is too near the top of maslow's hierarchy of needs ("self actualization" seems like the step, a "first world problem") to suck so much oxygen from state legislatures or anyone else not directly involved.

    Violence was only a matter of time. This kind of campaign will always stir it up.

    Man who attacked church with Molotov cocktails over drag show event federally charged
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crim...n&cvid=9541836e24cd42c0b4226d6e6e9bc262&ei=17
    A man who allegedly attempted to burn down a church with Molotov cocktails after it planned to hold a series of drag show events has been charged with federal crimes.

    The incident occurred on March 25 when the 20-year-old suspect involved in the attack -- Aimenn D. Penny of Alliance, Ohio -- threw Molotov cocktails at the Community Church of Chesterland in Chesterland, Ohio, in an attempt to burn the church to the ground after learning the church was holding multiple drag show events the following weekend, according to a statement from the Department of Justice.

    Strange! This information is so readily available yet we still have NO MANIFESTO for the trans mass shooter. Still want to pretend we don't have a 2-tier system? PUH-LEASE!

    Its not intimidating. A couple of teams when we played high school football did that **** pre games. My team did I suppose something similar with some call and response chanting and pounding on our pads the same way roman soldiers pounded on their armor. I know its supposed to be intimidating, but its just not. Its more a team building exercise, like a sea shanty sung by a galley crew. Gets you moving in sync, doing the same things.

    Kids are safer around drag queens than they are around Christian ministers and even cops. If you can't see any other, that says more about you than it does about drag queens.

    Yup! Turns out that drag queen burlesque shows and twerking lessons for 5 year olds do PISS some people off, indeed. no surprise there. I'm sure there will be way more incidents like this as the left keeps pushing the sexual indoctrination of tiny little innocent children

    Drag is a boogeyman that lives under the beds of social conservatives, competing for space with George Soros, so that the unhinged right can control their base through irrational fear.
