    I have a kid, and I have taken my kid to Pride events, because I am not a prude. I have taken her to drag queen story hours, because its fun. I grew up fundie evangelical and given a choice between corn-fed closeted authoritarian men trying to indoctrinate my kid to believe God’s divine order makes her subserviant to a male/creep into her pants, vs. a drag queen playing on social constructs of sexuality, I’ll take the latter every time.

      Alright then I consider you a terrible parent if you don’t care about them being exposed to sexually explicit material at a young age. I’m not religious, so your whining about that does not mean anything to me. I simply believe that parents have an obligation to shield their children from shit like this, and you disagree.

      given a choice between corn-fed closeted authoritarian men trying to indoctrinate my kid to believe God’s divine order makes her subserviant to a male/creep into her pants, vs. a drag queen playing on social constructs of sexuality,

      Those aren’t the only two options. You can do neither. Not sure what kind of point you are making. Question, should children be allowed to look at porn?

        Yes, you can choose not to take your kids to those events. Versus BAN BAN BAN PERSECUTE BAN FOMENT VIOLENCE and do anything to perpetuate the over-the-top prudishness of a loud minority.

          Can you answer the question I asked? Do you draw any line or do you think that children should be able to see everything adults do?

          This doesn’t ban drag shows or drag queens. It bans sexual themes shows in front of children. Just like how porn is illegal for children to view. You can still have your sexual drag shows, just not with children around. This shouldn’t bother you that much.

            I’m glad you take comfort in compelling everyone to parent their kids the way you think they should. Can you answer the question? Do you think women should be compelled to implant AR-15s in their wombs so all children are born ready to exercise their 2A rights? Do you draw any lines at compelling everyone to be like you?

              There are already laws against children seeing sexually explicit material. Do you think we should repeal those?
