I got banned from the conservative subreddit for "encouraging child abuse" after arguing that not all drag shows are inappropriate and that the ones that are are very open about it. 
It's transphobia (they don't understand the difference between drag and being trans), it's homophobia, and it's bigotry without a doubt. 
It's really sad how many people are duped and how many more are becoming victims of this asshole. He's actively making life more dangerous people of the LGBTQ community, and he should be held accountable for every hate crime that comes of this.
Why aren’t they shutting down child beauty pageants? >

Are they going to make NFL and NBA cheerleader and dancers illegal now? They wear significantly more revealing outfits and dance in incredibly sexual ways. Are they outlawing Hooters and Twin Peaks? My parents took us to a Broadway play when I was a teen that had a “sex” scene and lines about sex. So are conservatives going after plays now? What about bikinis and speedos at public pools and beaches?? Ballet?
Oh wait, no they won’t go after any of that because this witch hunt is driven by homophobia and discriminating against a minority group so their stupid hateful voting base will keep voting for them. >

Are they going to ban readings of the Bible? 
“Then the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of the earth. “Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserve our family through our father.” So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve our family through our father.” So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.” Gen. 19:31-35 I mean, I guess date raping your own father is pretty fucking cool with a lot of them anyway... probably some weird fantasy they have. >

Actually, recent translations say that it wasn't wine at all.  It was Jello Pudding. >

Children aren't at these shows at clubs, so arguably the FA gov is exposing children to their presence than the actual shows. >

Ru Paul Drag Race has also been on tv for 15 seasons with zero protests and a much wider audience. >

Exactly. I thought this was all normalized a long time ago. >

Anything is on the table when fascism needs a new scapegoat >

They just want to suck the fun out of everything. >

I'm tempted to make a dick joke here, but I'll tuck it away for later... >

I just wanted to let you know this is an underated Drag joke. >

Hey now, don't push up my ego... >

95% of the Republican platform is feigned outrage over invented problems. DeSantis is the master of this. >

It's because they have no policy plans to help working Americans. >

I love how they’re attacking “woke”.  Just make up a thing and attack it seems to be a winning formula for Republicans 
Maybe they should run against grumpkins >

I'm surprised they haven't brought back attacking Tinky-Winky from the Teletubbies as gay.
​
They are just as crazy then as they are now.
​
BTW, Tinky-Winky is purple, so he would be asexual. My mentioning that has probably scare Republicans into a panic attack. >

Yeah but he liked to carry a purse >

So can asexual people. Source: I'm asexual. >

I am absolutely certain I never claimed anything otherwise.
Also .. are you purple ? >

I know you didn't. I just stated how silly Falwell's point was on the purse argument. The whole stereotyping people based on how they dress or what they are carrying is such horseshit to me. Anyone can rock a purse. I carried a purse in college, with compartments for my books and another for my cell phone. I would gladly rock a purse again, because I hate carrying things in my pockets. I used to have a fanny pack, but that ended up breaking. >

My personal go-to is the travellers waist-banded all purpose zippy pocket compendium. >

I will have to look into that. >

Hooters is open tho... >

Easy solution, have drag Hooters >

I would go 100% >

its weird how people of a certain political persuasion will always say 'why isnt the government helping their people back home' whenever a ukraine support deal happens but then they cheer on their elected dipshits when they go on culture war crusades instead of tackling real issues. 
almost like they are arguing in bad faith and have no consistent ideology.. hm... >

The US has spent 5% of it's annual defense budget in helping Ukraine thus far. It's not all cash either, it's the cost of equipment and everything sent total. So when anyone brings that up they are just full of shit. The US has spent endless trillions preparing for war with the former Soviet Union and Russia since WWII. Spending a fraction of an annual budget on destroying Russia's ability to fight for decades is money well spent because it was going to spent on weapons gathering rust either way. >

yeah, just pointing out their hypocrisy. apparently they dont really care if their reps are actually doing anything to improve their lives >

I don’t know why Republicans were up in arms about that fake news of Obama bringing sharia law to the country while they are already doing it in the states they have majorities. >

Deflection and racism, pretty easy lol >

Is this the shit you elect a governor to do in a state of 21M people?  To investigate drag shows for who knows what?
Is this in any way presidential? >

Consecutive term limits (and frankly if they weren't there,  ambition) means he won't run for governor again. His presidential run isnt even a poorly held secret, it just tactically hasnt been officially filed for yet. It means 2 years of performance theater where the state gets hurt to generate stories for Fox and red meat for the national party base
