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

[fantome profane]

Really? It seems that some take it as an established fact that drag is dangerous. And I don't know why. And I wonder if even they know why. I wonder if they have ever actually examined their position.

So explain it to me. I say if I guy wants to put on a dress and read a book to children that is a good thing. More people should do this. And I don't care if they dress up like a clown, or a puppy or in drag.

I think that kindergarten kids might be confused learning of the LGBT universe at such a young age.
In my humble opinion.

I think that kindergarten kids might be confused watching a person looking like the Fairy Godmother but sounding like Mike Tyson.
In my humble opinion.

Really? I just would have found it hilarious at that age. Nothing when your young feels 'wrong', just new.

Most things kids think is "wrong" is what they are taught is wrong.

There are endless stories about fathers who accommodate their little girls.

You're trans and you say that?

Everyone on the phone calls me madam.

So if they're passable drag queens, it's cool.

Is that what I'm reading?

Why? Are children confused by a man dressed like a purple dinosaur?

And children are confused by lots of things. Why is that a bad thing?

No. That's not the point.
I am not understanding the point of mixing up LGBT with kids.

Leave the kids alone, said one song.

Should children be exposed to heterosexual straight people wearing conservative clothing?

No. That's not the point.

Kids are also LGBT.

You know this, yes?

 

[Estro Felino]

Kids are also LGBT.

You know this, yes?

A tiny minority.

 

[Left Coast]

A tiny minority.

Since when do we stop teaching kids about things because they're uncommon?

 

[fantome profane]

A tiny minority.

Well, all kids are tiny, so that goes without saying.

In some cultures, men wear dresses, skirts, etc. In our society, we have a narrow view of how to exhibit gender. It's sad.

No they aren't, they are kids.
And thanks for illustrating the problem.

 

[Sand Dancer]

10% isn't exactly tiny. Small yes, but not tiny.

 

[Sand Dancer]

No they aren't, they are kids.
And thanks for illustrating the problem.

So kids don't have a sexual orientation? Hetero kids do. Why wouldn't gay kids?

 

[Left Coast]

No they aren't, they are kids.
And thanks for illustrating the problem.

Speaking as someone who literally was an LGBT kid...please educate yourself. Yes, they literally are.

 

[fantome profane]

No they aren't, they are kids.
And thanks for illustrating the problem.

What is the problem? Please explain it to me.
