  The party of small d*ck energy government.
context: This theater is normally used for the Orlando Philharmonic, smaller concerts and comedians.
  It’s the theater is where Christina Grimmie was shot the weekend of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. >
  
  That brought back some unpleasant memories. 😢 >
  
  Would Monty Python or The Kids in the Hall be considered drag performs in Florida?  They often performed and even sang songs in drag. >
  
  You know how many Shakespearean plays involve a gender swap?
  I don’t either, but I do know it’s a lot
  can movie theaters show Tootsie, Mrs. Doubtfire, White Chicks?
  The film or musical Hairspray?
  In fact, ALL of John waters films
  and why aren’t they banning movies like Brokeback Mountain or Moonlight? >
  
  Lots of old theater productions had men playing all the female rolls. >
  
  💯
  but its not even that
  the plot of Twelfth Night is based on a girl pretending to be a boy
  it’s the Comedy version of Yentl, which would also be banned I guess >
  
  Desantis and his supporters are such an unneeded waste of resources. >
  
  The nonsensical theater that this is cannot be overstated. 
  If you ask the people who support this if a Hooters restaurant should lose its liquor license if a minor goes into it, they would act like you were insane.
  If you ask the people who support this. If a high school should lose funding for having an overtly sexual cheerleader dance segment, they would act like you were insane.
  If you ask these people if a football team should be punished for having an overtly sexual halftime show, they would think you were insane.
  They don't care, at all, about minors seeing sexually charged content. They just want to use it as an excuse to demonize LGBTQ people. >
  
  Because it has always been effective to ostracise minorities for political gain. Look no further than 1941 Germany.
  Yes I am calling republicans fasci nazis deservingly. >
  
  The issue (for them) is that this isn’t really effective, they stacked their midterm roster with people who wouldn’t shut the fuck up about kids and sex and they barely achieved anything. Pretty much every “anti-woke” creep ate shit. 
  Normal voters find this kind of behavior weird and off-putting, especially when you consider they have real problems. >
  
  The motivation isn't to get a majority to support them. It's to radicalize the minority base to commit violence. They know.they can't get. A majority anymore so they're going to shoot their way to power by killing the opposition. We need to be prepared to defend ourselves aginst outright terrorist attacks from them >
  
  Hahahaha Holy shit so unhinged. >
  
  Please note the unhinged part >
  
  Remember that attempted coup in January? Pretty unhinged. People died. Like actual people that mattered were trampeled holding out for backup that never came. Actual people died.  
  But also a dude tased himself in the nuts until he died. Pretty much sums up the two sides. >
  
  I'm pretty sure the guy who tasered is nuts was a rumor that was proven untrue >
  
  A drag show, that was for 18+, unless accompanied by a parent. Are parents going to be referred to CPS if they take their kids to an R rated movie too? >
  
  Does the movie prominently feature a marginalized group the Florida GOP is trying to demonize to agitate their political base? >
  
  Gay movie theater owners should start screening the birdcage again. >
  
  The right is also trying to demonize Ms.Doubtfire. >
  
  Yep. A lot of the drag bans being proposed are worded in such a way that it’d be illegal to show Mulan to a kid, because it features a character crossdressing >
  
  Last time I checked priests wear dresses and serve alcohol… >
  
  And unlike drag Queens, rape kids and get away with it >
  
  I can’t believe Florida used to be a swing state. Most the time it sounds like some dystopian conservastate. >
  
  DeSantis won his first election by an incredibly slim margin; he won reelection (against a candidate who had previously been both the governor of that state and a Republican) by a landslide.
  I don’t really understand how enough of a state moves that far to the right that quickly.
  Maybe they just really love a thoroughly uncharismatic culture warrior who bullies children and squanders millions in public funds. >
  
  I recall reading somewhere that a million republicans moved to FL during COVID because they liked his screw masks and vaccines policies.  As a consequence, it turned some purple states more blue, and FL really, really red. >
  
  It's true, all the worst people from up north moved down here after Covid. They're destroying the land, sending housing costs through the roof and intimidating minorities. It seems every day there is more hateful legislation being passed here. In my county there are hardly ever any Dems on the ballot. All you get is to do is choose from is insane MTG wannabes. >
  
  as a born and raised Floridian that moved to California 20+ yrs ago, it hurts to see it happening but this really is for the greater good. We can contain a large amount of the lunatics to one state and subsequently saw it from the Panhandle, Bugs Bunny style. Or just wait for global warming to do its thing and drown them like rats on a burning ship. Win-win. >
  
  It sort of is.  Though the demographics haven't all shaken out yet, it looks like FL going red made PA, WI, MI and maybe even GA blue.  In the electoral college race, I'll take that trade any day of the week. >
  
  Conservatives: "we need to keep government out of people's daily lives"
  Also conservatives: "let's just make laws against people doing things we don't like" >
  
  The same people who scream that cancel culture is bad when it means exposing their racist history. >
  
  Shut down all the churches where children have actually been abused. >
  
  That would fix the problem in a hurry. >
  
  Parents decided to bring their kids. The state decides that parents are not responsible enough. The state must now be the nanny. 
  Florida is a nanny state the doesn’t respect parental rights and choices. 
  Got it. >
  
  Sad about the drag show but glad to know that Florida’s Governor has solved all the issues facing the state from the insurance crisis to rising sea levels. 
  It must be great to have the time to review local liquor licenses instead of dealing with healthcare, homelessness, poverty, drug addiction, water rights, education, and all the other challenges governors usually face. >
  
  No, you see, you can only use that argument when Democrats are trying to do something. If it's a Republican, then those problems are not important and culture wars are the real issue. >
  
  People upset over drag shows should actually attend one to find out what it’s all about. It’s not porn. >
  
  You’d have to be a pretty angry person to go to one and not have a good time. >
  
  Florida is the least free state in America >
  
  Florida is one of the few good arguments for allowing global warming to occur. >
  
  How big a pussy do you have to be to be absolutely terrified of a guy in a dress? >
  
  They are scared it turns them on for some reason >
  
  In the UK we have "drag shows" for children all over the country in almost every theatre for the whole of December.
  They are called pantomimes and have a history predating the USA. Most pantos feature a dame - a drag character. 
  All this noise about drag queens is yet more manufactured moral outage to distract people from more important issues. >
  
  Please send Eddie Izzard to chokeslam desantis for us. >
  
  only sexually insecure people's worry about things like a drag show >
  
  The big venues should get together and all put on drag shows. Get Loan Depot, Hard Rock and wherever the Rays, Lightning, Magic play and Disney all to host and tag show and see how fast DeSantos backs down. >
  
  The party of small government.
