Can someone please explain to me why a "drag show" is suddenly the epitome of evil?

Drag story time at Oregon pub draws gun-carrying protesters

This is what I am talking about. Explain to me why someone would want to show up at an event like this with semi automatic rifles? What did they think they were going to do?

A bunch of people in funny clothes wanted to entertain some children, inspire their imagination. This is lovely, we need more of this in the world.

What are people so afraid of?

The dissolution of traditional gender roles. People struggle with change, especially when it deals with a particular worldview being politically munipulated. Granted, I am suprised by armed resistance: that seems ridiculously exaggerated. But it also makes sense when you consider how gender roles play into it. The irony would be if some of those armed folks were women dressed in "tactical" clothing...

They are primed in their pewes to see the Devil potentially hiding in every shadow and lurking around every corner. Combine that with a rigid black and white way of seeing the world and suddenly even the most benign things are scary and inappropriate because they are wicked and sinful, so they must put on their Armor of God, pick up the Sword of God and make war against unrighteousness.

There were guys doing that same thing at a LIBRARY a few months ago, like they think they're not going to traumatize children far more than any imagined trauma they think a drag queen would do. Some kids might have coulrophobia, but that's not the same as drag in itself as a performance being something traumatic to kids

They're afraid of people having fun, they're afraid of difference, that's fascism 101, they have to scapegoat so their in group can feel "persecuted" and motivate them to fight. It all ties together in a disturbing sort of "logic"

So it's okay to scare kids by bringing guns, but having a dressed up reader is not okay.

Fascists and nationalists have to have some kind of enemy and are often in a militaristic combat oriented mindset, where they have to be ready to fight at any moment. Which leads to the situation where we have more guns than people and any kind of solution would have to involve major sacrifices or just have Superman do a variation on what he did in #4 and throw a portion of the guns into the sun

I'd call it terrorism, as they are clearly intimidating people with the intent of forcing society to cater to their desires.
It's unfortunate anyone cancels. These people must not be given any ground, they must not win victories, and they must see we are not afraid and they will not scare us back into the closet. They are bullies and must be dealt as such.

The article doesn't say which side brought the guns. BTW, what's so wrong about a gun?

Children are developmental incapable of dealing with sex. Those that want to do story telling with children should be motivated by the needs of the children, not their own. Children don't need to be confused by the addition of story tellers promoting their own agendas.

Explain to me how such a device would make this situation better?

No, a gun is a mechanism designed to fire a projectile. Any killing comes from the intent of the gun user. A gun never kills anyone. People do. Gun fear is irrational.

Okay, he was not one hundred percent correct. A key factor in the design of many, if not most guns was their ability to kill people. You act as if the firing of the projectile was the only purpose and forgot to ask yourself "why would I want an object that fires projectiles?"

And to you;
Do you know what a drag queen is? I don't think you do because sex isn't explicitly or inherently a part of it.
