Current Events > Texas representative to file legislation banning minors from drag shows

(+) Yeah! (+)

You literally don't think kids should be at drag shows because it's men in dresses/is associated with homosexuality.

There is literally no reason to ban something like this unless you're homophobic.

Correct, I don't think kids should be at hypersexualized shows whether they are drag queens, straight, gay, etc. If you have a problem with that I guess it's just something you're going to have to deal with.

You're now accusing people in drag merely existing of being hyper sexualised.

More homophobia.

Every year here there's a Thai festival, and they have a stage show of drag acts and transwomen performing Beyonce covers and shit and you think that should be banned? Homophobic af, literally no debate to be had.

No, you are now accusing. I have given my opinion on this, I do not want children to be subjected to hypersexualized events. If that offends you and you are emotional over it, it's just something you're going to have to deal with.

Legislation? Can't they just think and pray the drag shows away, or does that only work for mass shootings?

what about drag queen events where they wear very conservative clothing?

Drag Shows aren't hypersexual unless a performer wants it to be. I went to a few at a bar earlier this year. Some wear what Beyonce or Lady Gaga would, others dress like Patti Labelle or Adele.

He said all drag events. He views the existence of drag/LGBT as 'hyper sexualisation ' perverting kids.

You cant reason with 'conservatives'. They're groomed from a young age by their parents/state/church to use hatred of those who are different as their core identity.

It wasn't sexually explicit.

Yes it was. I dont want anyone wearing revealing outfits doing splits in front of children and then them be tipped money while they do so, sorry.

And like other people say in topics, I don't think children should be viewing anything similar either tbh. Someone mentioned Beyonc at the superbowl or whatever, I would agree that also isn't suitable for children. Neither is Miley Cyrus's wrecking ball or any other explicit material.

And you think big guberment should criminalise whether or not your kid watches Miley Cyrus videos?

You realize that establishment is an ice cream shop during the day and a bar at night, right? The kids attended the show that morning.

False information.

It was the Mr. Misster gay bar in Dallas Texas.

"Sophisticated bar & lounge that transitions into a late-night hotspot as the evening progresses."

Unless you propose that Cauldron Ice Cream is somehow affiliated with them, it's just an entire coincidence that both have the same sign.

Yet they can't ban their parents from taking them to gun ranges and firing semi automatic weapons whose recoil they can't control so they don't accidentally shoot their instructors in the head. Bullshit.

Parents are allowed to take kids to R rated movies where (simulated) oral sex happens on screen so.. what is the big deal

Just a reminder, you guys are comparing the pool and beach, where the point is to swim and relax, to a show where people are wearing revealing clothing and doing the splits in front of children while they're being tipped money.

It's not the gotcha you think it is.

The point of a drag show is to be entertained, not want to have sex with the performers. If you think otherwise, that's on you.

I never said it was?

Do you regularly put words in people's mouth?

ITT: People think all drag shows are hypersexualized.

Holy fuck y'all don't leave the house, do y'all?

What is the end result of something being explicitly sexual (which again, this performance was not). What effect will this have on children by seeing someone doing the splits?

Rather than condemning an outright negative of a show, one that was clearly sexually explicit, was hosted at a gay bar with a 'it's not going to lick itself' sign, where children were tipping performers as they performed actions they should not perform...you decide to cheer it on and say 'oh, ALL drag shows are exactly like this!'. You could just say this is the exception, and condemn it, but instead you'd rather die on this hill.

Anything to defend something LGBT+ friendly, I guess, even if it's entirely wrong.

Because I figure saying the same exact thing I said in post 60 would be pretty pointless.

But given you're proving the point you just responded to, yeah, I feel like you don't care about children and just feel like supporting this because it's LGBTQ+ friendly rather than, again, saying it's the exception, not the rule.

Oh heavens, not the splits. Those poor children, however will they recover from seeing someone do the SPLITS!!!

Maybe youll get an answer to this one day. Probably not though.

Is there a definition in this bill that applies to drag shows but not, say, a pride parade? Or the public presence of a crossdresser?

You're just saying doing the splits is sexually explicit when they're not though.

Slayer attempts the "try not to come into a topic about LGBT issues and shit all over the walls" challenge (impossible)

Letting a nanny state legislate away everything you disagree with isn't a road I'm happy going down

Under the new law it will have to lick itself

Unless legislation. How about making your state a better place to live or make it safer?

The situation, the atmosphere, the fact that children were tipping, it's almost like it's not comparable to adults wearing a bathing suit even in the slightest!

Good job missing the points I'm making entirely. Shows like this catered towards children shouldn't exist.

Shows like that catered towards adults is perfectly fine and 100% should be allowed. I would also hope children are banned from strip clubs and burlesque shows, but I'm sure you would support PG variants of such shows as well just to prove a point.

I love how youre this upset about this concept that youve totally invented in your head of a parent taking their kid to an PG show.

What do you think PG means? Youre just making shit up in your head and getting mad about it because you cant be a normal person about anything that you think is gay.

Maybe hes just really mad about kids being taught about the concept of tipping

some people feel like tipping is really outdated as a practice, after all

The point is PG strip shows and burlesque shows don't exist. I made that up because it's absurd and the shows would be explicit regardless. But it is hilarious the lengths people will go to defend it, even though it makes absolutely no sense to do so. You will defend the concept of a PG strip show/burlesque show but when there are actual events that that ARE PG and revolve around drag, you lump shit like this in with stuff like the drag queens that read with kids.

Which means people will assume every single drag event is to be similar to the one which everyone views as the worst possible attempt.

But you, of course, will defend it because LGBTQ rather than cutting it off and saying 'this was the exception, not the rule' which is far more beneficial.

This sounds like a you problem. You should probably work on that.

Yeah yeah, I know that you have a lot of problems with queer people who tell you that youre wrong about things. You should really get another personality trait.

Texas representative to file legislation banning minors from drag shows

I don't see this as a big deal either way.

If a kid gets shown a drag show (that avoids nudity and sexual displays), it's not doom.
If kids miss out on going to drag shows because of an age limit....uh, it's not a big loss for them. Like at all.

And on top of this, you also have to take this into account:

Because conservatives will do anything they can to stop queer people from existing. They are very open about this. Its not about drag shows to them. They want queer people dead.
