That seems like a rule most people should be able to follow...however people do die.

I think there's just a lot of sensitive topics going on here here. 4 children in the projects = sensitive topic. Cross dressing men in front of kids = sensitive topic. Drugs around kids = sensitive topic. Dead body found around kids in the projects = WTF

Looking like just a another normal Transgender party in the projects. The Tyngsborough Day care Transgender sending photos of 3 and 5 year olds to a " friend " is starting to prove Trans like doing more than dressing up in woman's clothing .
In the Past these people would be tossed in jail or hanged for what they did , now we have a month to celebrate the lifestyle.

Should this event be seen as any less repugnant now than it would have been then?

Transvestites are the ones who like to dress up as women. Like drag queens, female impersonators.Probably what we are seeing in this incident.

Transgenders are the ones who have convinced themselves that they actually are women.

No arrests and cleansed by the Mayor.

I wonder if the firefighters who spoke up will be employed a year from now.

Do you know who laura petrie is and why I brought her up?
It wasn't the decline of civilization then, and it isn't now.

Off topic and meandering, but wanted to type this:

And transvestites aren't necessarily just gay males, at least from what I've read over the years.

Some of them, maybe many of them, identify as heterosexual men, maybe even married with careers? Whether gay, bi or straight, perhaps it's a very part-time endeavor just to have fun and entertain and not 24/7 at Stop & Shop, the T, gay church events, riding the swan boats on the Public Garden or watching July 4 fireworks at the Hatch Shell. (Just being sarcastic with these examples).

Hmm...but who really knows?

I wonder if tv ratings for RuPaul's Drag Race show will be affected or has been affected recently with all of the drag story controversy recently in grade schools and libraries. And aren't drag brunch and evenings popular with some gays and maybe even certain types of open-minded straights, probably groups of male and female friends likely in urban settings?

Maybe those who had been attending such events are now suddenly turned off and will no longer frequent and support this "lifestyle"?

I was repulsed by a NY Post story online yesterday about NY's Pride being tarnished by a group of dressed up transvestites and maybe even supporters, chanting "we're here, we're ***** and we're coming after your children!" Can you believe the bravado of these transvestites?

I, as well as a few commenters on the article, simply figured it was only in jest especially in light of all the recent controversy about transvestites supposedly being "groomers" but some commenters did not believe so and asserted these people are serious and are indeed after the children. It's obviously nothing to ever joke about!

I can't believe it's all devolved into this...but it's 2023 and probably some if not most straights knew it would all dissolve into this mess. Sets gay pride issues back decades, I assume. Much of the general public, who may have tolerated or even approved the drag queen movement in recent years, maybe due to RuPaul making it more mainstream, and maybe considered fun and even glamorous to some, now seems sick and tired, and disgusted, by it now and are speaking out.

I am a gay male, and this drag element has never, ever appealed to me. No interest, whatsoever. Maybe even repulsed. Not sure if most gay males and even lesbians feel the same. Maybe more of the younger generation tolerates or even enjoys it, even with all these incidents in school libraries and now this South Boston tragedy.

They very well could be straight and it is a fetish. Supposedly, the parents of the kids were in that group.
