    Why are you under the impression that every drag show is like that? Drag story time at a library does not involve any of that.

      If I were to present an example of sexually explicit stuff going down at a children’s drag queen story hour would you change your mind?

        No, because that’s anecdotal. My wife is a librarian. I can give you plenty of anecdotes to counter it.

          The answer is I’m not under the impression that every drag show is like that, but some definitely are and it seems like you people don’t bat an eye or self police in any way.

        Go ahead, present to us a video of a drag queen demonstrating: “sexually explicit conduct” meaning actual or simulated— (i) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex; (ii) bestiality; (iii) masturbation; (iv) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or (v) lascivious exhibition of the anus, genitals, or pubic area of any person.

        In front of 5 year olds, not adults.

        You’re not gonna.

          https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1681092876313214976 Here’s a video of a drag queen simulating jerking off with children present. Not sure there’s five year olds but there’s definitely children present. One young girl seems to be clinging on to her mother facing away from it, showing discomfort.

          https://twitter.com/SaraGonzalesTX/status/1619507742926077952 “I know theres little babies here, but… close your ears. This is just a tradition that all shows normally do. Cheers to you, cheers to me, cheers to those who lick us where we pee”

          I expect you to come back downplaying it. But I think most people can agree this stuff is not appropriate for children.

            Lol do you know babies don’t understand words? Also the like three 10 year old kids were literally given money by their parents to tip the drag queens in the second video so apparently they thought it was fine. Regardless of what I or you think is appropriate for kids their parents thought it was or they would have left and certainly not given their kids money to tip.

            You found two with 99% adults in the audience who were with their parents that made their own decision to not leave and take their kids away.

            How many cases have there been in the past year of children getting shot at school or raped by priests though? Spoiler a lot more than 2, and guess what those kids are dead or have ruined lives, not just being grossed out for a few seconds. Most kids see worse on YouTube.

              You asked me for examples, I gave you examples, and now you’re going off about priests raping kids and kids getting shot at school. Exactly how I expected the response to be tbh.
