Regarding your comments about "erasing the positive progress of the last 50 years", what you say is simply not true. Consider that, just within about the last 10, people from "that camp" got the right to serve openly in the US military. They're also free to marry someone of the same gender - just 2 examples of rights they've fought for and earned that they never had before. The tide is also turning on people's view of "that camp". A number of recent independent poles have shown that the majority of Americans now view "that camp" and those in it positively - many more than ever before. That's primarily come with education and that many more people are simply open and honest about who and what they are - things they could never do so openly in decades past. That has caused many to realize how many from "that camp" are actually their neighbors and co-workers - and that they can be friends with them and associate with them and they'll still be OK. Gays aren't the boogeyman.

As a member of the LGBTQ alphabet family", i wouldnt say "erasing the positive of the last 50" is quite true or false.. i think in somecases its better and some cases its worse.

In the last few years, we've had christian karens who throw up their arms about drag queens and LGBTQ agenda being pushed on them.. that isnt a step forward.

In some places its still hella dangerous to be LGBTQ+ etc and there have been some countries that have slid backwards in the last decade or so.

But that's something that was brought on and made into a "hot button topic" by right wing media and talkers - it's not something new the LGBTQ+ community suddenly did that pushed boundaries or "turned people off", contrary to the comments from the post I was replying to above. Drag shows and brunches have been performed for decades, especially in larger cities. It's just that those on the political right have made suddenly made those an issue over the past few. For the record, Ron DeSantis in Florida tried to politicize them, have drag shows suddenly categorized as "adult entertainment" and threatened to revoke the licenses of restaurants who hosted them with kids in attendance. He lost that battle legally.

So now TV star RuPaul is banned in certain states. The British are really confused about all this. They love their drag queens over there. When Dame Edna died, you would have thought he/she was a member of the royal family. Not in the colonies.

You're avoiding the real issue. While it's true that drag shows and brunches have been performed for decades, It's only recently that they've been involving children. From having drag queens read books for children to full out drag shows preformed infront of children, complete with having children handing them dollar bills as they preform what is basicly a striptease act.

That is what people are upset about. It has nothing to do with LGBT issues. It's about sexualizing children.

There's nothing wrong with drag. It's a fun form of enterntainment, but it's not approaite for children!

Huh? Have you ever been to a drag show? There's no stripping at all. There's nothing any different from attending a pro wrestling match with men in tights and makeup. Nothing different from clowns at the circus with makeup. It's like Halloween. Nobody is sexualizing children.

This isn't about children. This is about politics.

Theyre making it an LGBT Related issue.

And as typical, if theres one bad apple... people apply it to a whole group. Is it possible a show has gotten inappropriate thats been reported on by a mainstream credible news source that I didnt see? sure, absolutely.

But then they generalize.

There have been many videos that tell a diffrent story. And yes, I've been to several drag shows and I don't think they are appropriate for children.

Thre're some things you just don't do because they have a lage possibality of turning bad. Drag showes for children is one of them.

Not all strippers get naked but you still wouldn't want them to preform in fornt of children.

The whole point of drag is illusion. If there's anything less amenable to illusion than stripping off your clothes, I have yet to hear of it!

And it's about demonization to divert attention away from real problems whose solutions would disadvantage privileged people.

Whenever someone brings the word privileged into a conversation I know they're an idiolog and there's no point talking with them.

I think calling this a "conversation" is giving it too much credit.
