Gee. I guess there really are people in this world who consider lots of bad language from drag queens fun, entertaining and appropriate for a 10 YO.

You set a really low bar.

I am not PP however I’d take a five year old. I’d take whoever wants to go

What I would not do is send my kids to church? Just last week alone every day in the us a preacher or a pastor raped or groomed children that is a fact. Not like the news is not showing this .

Drag weens are happy and fun.

Churches spew hate and should be taxed tired of the religious right crap . Fact churches abuse kids not drag queens

People decide to do things not churches. George Santos is a drag queen who has lied, stolen money, and who knows what else. Do all drag queens do the same? No.

I would never take my child to any event designed for adults that includes adult language and topics.

that's where I went to drag brunch in the 2000s

And even before that, in 1980s and 90s. Now get off my lawn!

I loved going to Perry’s years ago, but it feels a little weird today.

Is it celebrating? Mocking? Exploiting?

Mocking mostly, borderline exploitative.

(because that's such a funny joke?) I think I saw a bare chest with implants, too-- it looked like the sequined dress was hanging wide open.

The performer looked down at the sidewalk and realized the, er, activities were no longer contained in the venue and that he had just confused a little kid. He broke character and apologized.

DD had no comment so I didn't perform a post-mortem of the experience. But I didn't find that fun or funny. Chacun a son gout, I guess?

You saw a woman doing drag? That happens but it's not very common.

Implants != woman

My husband and I took a friend who was visiting. No prizes. It was fun.

It just seems a bit anachronistic in this day and age. Who really considers this sort of thing a naughty thrill anymore? Drag has gone so mainstream, it's at the public library.

Drag queens that are men do not get breast implants.
