Republicans want an armed police officer in every school...makes sense.
Democrats want drag queens in every school...makes sense in the clown world we're living in.
The Thursday essay — titled “Drag is not dangerous: How exposing your kids to drag performance can be a good thing” and penned by writer Heidi Klaassen — begins by noting the current popularity of drag queens and the criticisms leveled at parents who bring children to “family-friendly drag shows perceived to be inappropriate for children.”
However, the author insists that “the art of drag is far-reaching” and is “making a difference for youth.”
Claiming her son “came out” as gay at the age of nine, Klaassen states the boy “found acceptance and self-love” in the reality competition TV series “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
“When I tell him that gay bars used to be raided by police or that drag queens were once arrested for their art, he finds this absurd,” she writes. “He’s 12 now and, like so many young people, marvels at the queens on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ their ability to express themselves and make a career doing it.”
Admitting her son “doesn’t know the gritty side of drag” which includes “booze-soaked, smoke-filled clubs and cabarets,” she argues that “public perception and expectations around drag” have changed over time.
“What matters is that my son knows there are people out there like him, people who celebrate an art form that has a sense of humor and elevates the human spirit,” she writes. “Drag isn’t something to hide behind, it’s powerful creative expression.”
Though she was “initially nervous about some of the language and sexual innuendo,” Klaassen says she felt her young son “was mature enough to gain an understanding of these elements as they relate to drag performance.”
Perverts!
Leave children alone, Progressives! This is a losing issue, for you!
How about letting kids play with plastic dinosaurs in the sandbox, or swing on the swings, or swim in the pool, or ride bikes, or one of a million other things that were so fun to do as a kid? How about leaving sex out of their childhood experience and stop trying to pervert them?
Guaranteed the evil subhumans promoting this stuff are going to get WAY more of a pushback than they think they will if they keep the crap up. Most people draw the line at child abuse. How I would love to see just one 220 pound musclebound UFC type dad get ahold of the throat of one of these perverts. Someone who could give them a free sex change operation.
