But drag is centrally about the expression of overt sexuality.It all depends. If it is a g-rated show, then I have no problem with it. If the drag performers are recreating what goes on in a strip club, or a sexually explicit gay bar in P-town, then I do have a major problem with it. Further. LGBT people should be smart enough to understand that exposing kids to overt, obvious porn and sexuality is going to upset parents.
Teaching kids to appreciate all flavors of people is good. Exposing kids to what is pretty nearly porn in books, drag shows, and gay pride parades is not going to be productive.
How do you know this?But drag is centrally about the expression of overt sexuality.
This is NOT the 1950's, there's no need for sex ed in Elementary School. Parents job to teach, inform their children about the birds and bees.But drag is centrally about the expression of overt sexuality.
Not the place for children.
Don't care if the sexual expression is gay, straight or otherwise. Purposely exposing children, especially prepubescent, to it is grooming.
Casual observation - the tendency of men dressing in drag to do so with very exaggerated female sexual features.How do you know this?

9 year old doing lap dances for older men while getting dollar bills tucked into the little boy's g strings.
Looks up that Desmond Is Amazing kid and his drag queen handler who was pimping him out to older men.

One of the few benefits of growing old seems to be avoiding violent crime. Old and boring lifestyle is safe. What’s not to love in that?

Pro-tip: lots of hot single straight girls go to gay clubs. Not to mention bachelorette parties…
Also gay dudes are always willing to extend a compliment!

I just want to explain one nuance. I'm not going so far as to suggest that these things are totally random. I mean, every mass shooter has a narrative, and that narrative probably dovetails into current events. I'm just saying that the particular kind of mind that considers a mass shooting over something, real or imagined, is going to occur at some baseline frequency in the population no matter what is or isn't going on. If everything were perfect, the narrative they construct to justify their actions will just be entirely disconnected from reality, or it will be about their own failures which are entirely their doing but which they blame on their victims. The latter happens a lot in the "disgruntled former employee" type of mass shooting.You’re not wrong. Some people got shot. That’s gonna happen.. As tragic as it is..
Serious story. Buddy of mine was quite the player when we were young. He said to me one night lets go to this place Stellas in the south end of Boston. I was like isn't that a gay area. He said yes that's the point. That place is overrun with hot straight chicks. They go there because they know gay guys wont hit on them. I'm thinking right, they go there to avoid straight knuckle dragging guys like us. Needless to say we never pulled any women from that place

Richard Fierro who tackled Club Q gunman describes risking his life to save his family
A decorated army veteran who tackled the shooter who killed five in a Colorado Springs gay club said he wanted to protect the close knit community insidewww.yahoo.com
Just heard Fierro interviewed on NPR - he’s very humble and well-spoken, said he only followed his training, others were more heroic to have acted w/o training, etc. He’d make NRA’s next “good guy with a gun” hero if he’d pulled the trigger on the killer instead of beating him with his own pistol. He didn’t seem the type to accept any such veneration though.Good thing Fierro was there and went into combat mode. Battle drill for near ambush/far ambush. Near ambush charge because you're already in kill zone, far ambush take cover and return fire. Seems he was in between and unarmed but saw opportunity and acted in a heroic action.
Why was fat bastard not charged for fake bomb threat and a prohibited person? How did this 300lb load get into a club wearing body armor and carrying a rifle and pistol? Need extensive AAR after investigation but it seems pretty obvious what happened.

note to self, cut handle off body armor.Smart move grabbing the handle on his body armor.
A strapped helmet is also a great leverage point to take a man down. Surprised the dreg didn’t have his rifle slung - Fierro said the shooter dropped it, reached for it and another patron pulled it away. Maybe the body armor was empty airsoft plate carriers - wasn’t it the Aurora Theater shooter than had game gear on?Smart move grabbing the handle on his body armor.
Heh-heh. Def smart. (If anyone needs me Ill be removing the handle on my body armor)Smart move grabbing the handle on his body armor.
How would your buddies drag your wounded body behind cover?note to self, cut handle off body armor.
Sounds like a...How would your buddies drag your wounded body behind cover?
I don’t see them charging this hero with carrying a firearm in a bar.
The shooter must have a decent vest on.
A lot of these carriers drag handles will just ripped right off like it’s paintball or airsoft gear.
I don’t have a drag handle on mine because I have no one to drag me. Also if you try to drag my fat ass you could probably pull the vest right off me.
I’m so glad that guy was there though. And that other people helped him. I thought they were saying the shooter got shot as well? But that was off early reporting I wonder if this guy shot him..
I’m also shocked no one just beat this guy to death.
Maybe they did work him over pretty good..Not to death, but damn near. The others that helped subdue shooter included a drag queen who repeatedly stomped on him with their high heels. Shooter was motionless when police arrived and Fierro apparently thought he had killed him.
ha, jokes on you, I don't have any friends.How would your buddies drag your wounded body behind cover?
They only want to ban guns for us. THEY get to keep all the guns they want.Another guy replied to me, saying that the 6 mass shootings in the last 21 days proves armed self-defense doesn’t work. So, I ask what data he’s referring to, saying that different trackers have very different data (below) and that 95%+ of mass shootings happen in gun-free zones where guns carried for self-defense are prohibited.
Mass Shootings in 2021 finds 26 mass shootings in the last 21 days
Mass Shootings in 2022 | Gun Violence Archive finds 30 in 21 days
US mass shootings, 1982–2022: Data from Mother Jones’ investigation finds only 2 in 21 days
Most Comprehensive Mass Shooter Database - The Violence Project finds 5 in all of 2022
I figure he’s hyperventilating and foaming mad by now, as he replies “what more do you need to prove ‘a good guy with a gun‘ doesn’t work - we need to ban guns.”
A lot of these bleeding-heart progressive liberals are atheist/agnostic and have no faith in God(s), but they seem to have a blind faith in gun control as a solution to evil in this world. Only they expect their heaven on earth, where everyone does what they think the right thing is to do.
My pronouns are Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Sig Sauer and Remington.This is stupid. All the he/him, they/they're, whe/whim whatever are now "was / were".
A life is a life and it's either valued or it's not. When you start adding qualifiers you're just making the issue a joke.
