        Its exactly the same in a very important way. Individuals can go ahead and choose not do it but that doesn’t solve the problem.

          Ah yes. “The problem” of freedom of speech.

          Such an inconvenience for Nazis.

              What the heck. I’ve been to my share of drag shows and I never saw any genitals. Can you tell me where the drag shows are with genital exposures? 😎

                They can’t, because it doesn’t exist. Most states have restrictions on genital exposure in strip clubs. No way any drag shows are going that far, especially since they usually occur in bars or clubs.

              The Epstein regime does not care about children and you know it.

              This isn’t about children, it’s about forcing heteronormative culture down everyone’s throats.

              Your culture war is not about children.

              Your fake concern isn’t fooling anyone. We have wised up to your bullshit antagonism tactics. We don’t care.

              Say whatever you want, but know that we don’t give a fuck about you or your lies.

              Tell me you don’t know what a drag show is with out saying you don’t know what a drag show is.

                  It’s always projection with you people.

                  I’ve been to at least a dozen drag shows and there was zero sexual acts or genitalia exposed at any of them.

                  You have never been to one. Clearly.

                  You’re just here to throw your feces at people and stir up a bunch of emotions, because you’re a fucking sociopath who in my opinion shouldn’t be allowed to mingle with society at all.

                  One day humanity is going to realize that because stress causes physical damage to the brain and body, psychological assault is a real thing and should be a crime just like physical assault.

                  If your goal is to hurt people, I don’t give a fuck if it’s physical or mental. You should not be allowed to just decide to hurt people. For any reason.

                  You should be in a cage.

                  I have been to one once. I have photo and video evidence if you’d like me to share. It was in an 18+ bar and there was no nudity. Drag shows are entirely about crossdressing, not stripping.

                  Show any example where there was a drag show at a child friendly event, and if you happen to pull that off, show any example where they showed there genitals. You can’t, because that doesn’t happen.

                  You have know idea what the fuck you’re talking about, or you do and you’re arguing in bad faith and just being a bigot.

                  Look at all those genitals. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

                  Also, these drag queens and the bar put on this show and then donated all of the tips and earnings as a fundraiser for a gentleman I worked with that was going through cancer treatment. Oh the humanity.
