Some US citizens, and I believe at least one Trump cabinet member, have such inclinations and feelings. I do not, but in my opinion such people can coexist with us straight people. There are some illegal sex acts and I assume you know what they are. I am not suggesting the current cabinet members have committed any.

However, I do not like "drag queen shows" in schools and consider Talarico's comment disturbing because the principle of "pride" could conflict with our traditions.

I'm sure James TalaPedo was referring to these "performers."

Drag Queen Pedophile

Somebody needs to ask Talarico “So, are you one of them, in your off hours? Do you get all gussied up as a Queen?
Yes or No? Halloween doesn’t count.”

I am thinking he must be an expert.

Talarico is mentally ill. Listen to his words. He’s an advocate for dangerous, mentally ill individuals. He is unfit to represent.

I’ve been seeing TalaFreeco comments all over Free Republic but...

Is any of them getting out in the public? I can’t believe any DNCMedia would air them.

Why do Texas Dems always put forward such faggots and simps?

Talarico: "I think Texas produces some of the best drag queens in the nation.
And I didn’t want any legislation to target them or hurt that industry."

“Talarico is on the defensive after remarks resurfaced in which he lavished praise on Texas drag queens as “some of the best” in the country”

Talagayco.

Figures.

Actual drag performers like Julian Eltinge were not necessarily homosexual. Milton Berle did sketches in drag all the time and nobody would mistake him for gay. Nowadays however, “drag queen” means an overweight, hirsute middleaged male pervert and narcissistic exhibitionist prancing around in women’s lingerie with glitter in his beard. This is the repulsive species Jimmy Six Genders is referring to.

“””However, I do not like “drag queen shows” in schools”””

There is an elementary school here that has a drag queen as it’s principal. Great role model, right?

"I think Texas is obviously the best state in the nation and I think we produce some of the best drag queens in the nation," Talarico told the outlet. "And I didn’t want any legislation to target them or hurt that industry."

James Talarico's church library features LGBTQ propaganda for children, including pornographic material

Why Banned Books at Church?

Our library at St. Andrew's is home to a number of banned books, from picture books to young adult novels. We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice...common themes…particular experiences and identities being censored.

As a church, we feel it's important to make these books available to the community. One of our core values as a progressive Christian community is to, “strive for peace and justice among all people, knowing that behaving with compassion and selfless love towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.” Reading stories written by people with identities and life experiences different from our own helps us shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people. We can also find parts of ourselves in these stories, which helps us grow into the fullness of our being. Children, teens, young adults, and older adults can find affirmation in the books they read. Sometimes, stories even shine light on hidden and painful experiences letting readers know they are not alone.

As progressive Christians, we are committed to a path of life-long learning. We can't keep growing if we close our minds and shut out different ways of being in, experiencing, and understanding the world. Caring for the stories in banned books is one small, but important way of proclaiming our love for everyone, everywhere, all the time. Let's read and celebrate banned books together!
