Republicans are losing their fight to ban drag — at least for now.

    Don’t forget the aspect that seeing drag shows will turn a child lgbqt+ just from seeing it. Or the fact that all lgbtq+ are pedophiles.

    Conservatives have absolutely no idea what they are talking about on this. “Oh the horror. They’re indoctrinating our kids by dressing like that and telling them a story.”

    These idiots need to realize this is America and we have undeniable rights to our freedom. Government overreach at its finest. Conservatives are afraid of the truth that everyone has a right to be themselves.

      No, they understand perfectly well what’s happening. Many of their kids are rejecting their ideologies, which these conservatives have been working for years to instill in their kids. The kids understand, though, that the guy in the dress is a lot more tolerant and empathetic than their parents are.

      So these clueless parents have to insist the problem is with the gays, and if the gays just weren’t so gay out in public all the time, their kids would never have caught it. Because the alternative is that the parents have been teaching the wrong things all this time, and they would never admit that.

        Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if my ex father blamed queer media for me transitioning. And like yeah it contributed to the decision to choose to transition instead of trying whatever it took to dull the pain of dysphoria in a self destructive spiral. I prefer the college degree and happy marriage to the drug addiction I could’ve had personally

        True. The important part to realize is their phobia is so prevalent they don’t realize how stupid they are
