Drag Shows!!

[crescent]

Enterprising conservative values warriors have now set up a website that helps people report planned drag shows and other deviance and degeneracy.

Defend Our Kids TX

They want to you know, protect kids from such abhorrent practices.

The important part is that we all take this verrry seriously and don't use the website to falsely report planned drag shows. Especially not at Law Enforcement facilities. Or Republican Party offices. Or Conservative churches that are overtly political but somehow still don't pay taxes.

I think this website is really wise. Nobody would ever think to spam the site with all sorts of false reports.

From the little I've seen of churches, they really are drag shows, aren't they?

Lots of old blokes wearing really fancy dresses.

Similarly the choirs, in their dresses.

Seems legit to me, definitely needs investigating.

Which reminds me of a joke I heard long ago. A devout Catholic has a gay friend he hopes to cure of his sin. So, hoping for the persuasiveness of pomp, he takes him to mass on a day the bishop is attending. Down the aisle comes the bishop in his robes and mitre, swinging the censer, whereupon the concerned guest, unable to contain himself, calls out, "love your hat, love your dress, but your purse is on fire!"

Armed drag show protesters drowned out in downtown San Antonio

The colors of the rainbow don't run either.

Voices of right wing militia members and their supporters were drowned out Tuesday night, December 13, in downtown San Antonio. A few dozen protesters faced a much larger crowd of counter-protesters numbering well above 100 who turned out to show support for an embattled drag community.

At the heart of the Tuesday's protest, an all-ages drag show at the nearby Aztec Theatre.

Drag as an art form has increasingly been put in the crosshairs of far right extremists and has begun to draw increased ire from mainstream conservatives over the past year. In November, a 22-year-old entered Colorado Springs' Club Q and opened fire into a drag show audience with an assault rifle-style firearm, killing five people before being tackled and beaten into submission by an army veteran and other attendees, including a performer.

Among the counter-protesters was District 2 City Councilmember Jalen McKee-Rodriguez, who came to show support for the drag community.

"This is another example of our LGBTQ+ community, specifically our drag community, is under attack, and so they need to know they are well supported here in San Antonio. Stuff like that is from outsiders, it's not from the heart of San Antonio," McKee-Rodriguez says, gesturing to the This Is Texas Freedom Force protesters.

Tuesday's Christmas-themed show became a target for protesters after This Is Texas Freedom Force, a group that's been described as a militia extremist group by the FBI, sent out multiple calls to its members and followers on social media.

ERMIGERD! I'm gay moral panicking!

My kids have been around gay people and Pride parades all their lives, but I bet drag shows will durn them super trans gay!

These bigots are so sexually repressed. It must be horrible living like that.

In what should be a surprise to no one, Texas (and a couple of other states) have proposed legislation that would heavily regulate drag, and could be read to ban trans gender people in public for doing 'drag'.

That site looks so stupid, some people might think it's a Poe.

 

[Regnad Kcin]

In my day, a drag show was Don “The Snake” Prudhomme vs. Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

Harrumph.

Since when does drag = trans anyway? Drag is gay men dressing up like women, not people thinking they are women (whether validly or not is, apparently, a matter of contention).

Pretty sick that Texas, awash in guns and school shootings, thinks that the real danger is dudes in dresses. How many kids were killed this year because of drag?

I've said it multiple times, there are more than a few very public anti-gay gay guys.

Pope Ratzinger
The wide stance guy
There was a church leader in FL and a guy in Colorado who was in the military.

I'd have to look them up because I can't recall their names at the moment.

And as far as I know there hasn't been any obvious anti-lesbian lesbians. Perhaps they are not as obvious.

I can't imagine such a law would pass First Amendment muster.

Is drag even all gay men? I thought a few were straight but just wanted to look fabulous.

From what I understand, Andriy Danylko/Verka Serduchka seems to be straight - although he keeps his private life very private.

Danylko/Serduchka, for those who don't know him, is a Ukrainian performer famous for his/her 2008 Eurovision performance. Serduchka is the stage name of the female persona, but when not performing Danylko presents male.

So that's one, at least. Add in the list of straight performers who have done drag in movies and the list gets long. Very long.

Because not wanting your young children exposed to cross-dressing freaks means that someone is "sexually-repressed". The best part is that while many liberals suggest that there is no sexual aspect to a drag show, many also clearly associate it with sexuality.

I love how some seem to think they are doing some sort of public-service by filing a false report, over matters such as this. I guess they figure that silencing parental concern is something to celebrate?

yes it is. It is clearly a sign of a desperate need to exert control SOMEWHERE in your life, and on the one group of persons you have the most power over: your kids.

Parents who trust in their parenting and the sense of their children don't panic at the idea that a kid might see drag - what else is a costume party or Halloween?

Why are they freaks? They are no more "cross-dressed" than any well-dressed 17th century gentleman, powdered wigs and all.

Bingo!

Controlling what your kids see? Maybe I wouldn't want a very young child seeing something like a decapitated body in real life. But crossdressers or LGBTQ+ persons? How silly to want to control what real life your child sees.
