[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only “unchristian” thing that happened with Drag story hour is the hateful response like viewed in the story above. Drag performance, drag performers, are neither predators or child groomers. You’re actually thinking of straight men. [/quote]

Neither are burlesque performers.

But neither group is appropriate for children.

Many drag performers are speaking out against pushing drag on children as it opens the door to predators taking advantage of well intended ignorance of those organizing these events.[/quote]

Here is a comment from one drag queen who does not participate in these event:

Drag Queen Kitty Demure, agrees that these events are not appropriate for children. “They are there for an agenda. They’re not there to read ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and just leave,” she said during an interview. “They’re there to talk about gender, being different and the whole lifestyle homosexuality, [b]trans issues [/b]educating these kids on these issues. You’re not even supposed to take your kid that age to a Rated R movie. These are not topics that are meant for a child’s mind, they don’t even know what they want for dinner. How do they know anything about gender, sex, and sexuality?"

“I have absolutely no idea why you would want that to influence your child. Would you want a stripper or a porn star to influence your child? It makes no sense at all,” Demure said in a video address to heterosexual women posted on her Instagram page. “A drag queen performs in a nightclub for adults. There is a lot of filth that goes on, a lot of sexual stuff that goes on and backstage there’s a lot of nudity, sex and drugs. So, I don’t think that this an avenue that you want your child to explore. getting them involved in drag is extremely, extremely irresponsible on your part and I understand that you might want to look like you’re with it, that you’re cool, that you’re woke, that you’re not a Nazi, that you’re not a homophobe. Honestly you’re not doing the gay community any favors, in fact you’re hurting us. We already have a reputation of being pedophiles and perverts and deviants. We don’t need you to bring your children around so you keep your kids at home or you take them to Disneyland or take them to Chuck E. Cheese.”[/quote]

What the heck?  A drag queen mentioning transgender people?  Drag queens are typically cisgender gay men.  With very rare exceptions, they are not transgender and don't normally speak about trans issues.[/quote]

No one cares.  This is completely irrelevant to the issue at hand.[/quote]
