Child exploitation should not be controversial, yet to the modern LGBT left it seems to be a subjective matter depending on what political or social narrative they want to pursue. Child drag queens appear to be a growing trend after the success of Desmond Napoles, who has been in the public eye since he was nine years old.
While many oppose the idea of minors performing drag at all, it shouldn’t be considered a “conservative” position to oppose them performing drag in adult bars. Drag is inherently sexual in nature. The origin and purpose of drag is to indulge adult humor through exaggerated female impersonation.
Some celebrate drag queens, and rightly so. They provide a unique sense of humor that is often playful, sassy, and so bluntly honest as to be enjoyable to many. But we should all agree it just isn’t for kids.
LGBT advocates of child drag performers insist it’s just children playing dress-up, as the mother of a nine-year-old performer stated recently: “Jacob is just a guy who likes to dress up and dance and feel pretty… it’s kind of like Halloween every time he has the opportunity to do it.”
It can certainly be argued there is a fine line between a boy dressing-up to “feel pretty” and that same boy dressing in a way that mimics a highly sexualized adult entertainment style. Pretending that there is no distinction is simply avoiding the truth of what is actually being done, even if everyone involved has innocent intentions.

“A 2017 Gallup poll concluded that 4.5% of adult Americans identified as LGBT with 5.1% of women identifying as LGBT, compared with 3.9% of men.[1] A different survey in 2016, from the Williams Institute, estimated that 0.6% of U.S. adults identify as transgender.”
Since when did 5% of the population steer this ship?
Yes. Sexualizing pre-adolescent children is child abuse.
It was common in pagan Rome.
Since the liberals decided that LGBT whatever causes are civil rights issues?
Remember when even liberal Democrats were willing to say that marriage was a man and a woman? It wasn’t too long ago.
It’s called “moving the goalposts.” The Demonrat left has been doing it since the 19th century.
And, if you read O’Reilly’s Killing Jesus, it is how Rome’s Emperors enjoyed their entertainment. It’s not a good look in the USA’s 21st Century.
If parents of a pre-adolescent girl had her doing burlesque in a bar in front of a crowd of leering men, does anyone here think Child Protection would be ok with that?
You see, putting on the clothes of the other sex isn't the same as BEING a member of the other sex. This is just make-believe, although why a man would want to make believe he's a woman is beyond me.
But darling, none of that is important. What's important is that you are a [fill in biological sex here] and I expect you to dress like you're a [fill in biological sex here]. This man is not a role model. He's what we adults call a pervert. You shouldn't be like a pervert because they are sick, even dangerous people.
No that wouldn’t be ok. This all makes the point how homosexuality has become a favored special status in our culture.
I hate to think this, but, wonder who has molested that Desmond boy who does these dances???
There is an element of sexual humor to basically all drag shows. The performers will often have names based on anatomy or sex acts. The comedy will be vulgar. It’s for adults only.
Kids should be kids. If it’s all about volunteering, the “Miss Cooter” persona can be left at the bar and the real Mr. Smith can read The Velveteen Rabbit.
Democrats don’t flip flop, they “evolve”.
If there are "men" in this country that wish to bend teenage boys over their work desks, like in Roman times, they can feel free to leave.
IF?
Do you doubt it?
BTW, it is "mainstream" in most of Islam.
Sadly, I cannot doubt it. Reprobate Catholic priests, among others, set the example. Way overseas is where they can go with that sh*t.
This is a very weird article which shows even the Federalist has lost its mind. It’s ok for a little boy to dress up and “feel pretty”? No, it is not.
I’ve said it on other threads and I’ll say it again here: the penalty for penetrative sex on a pre-pubescent child by an adult should be death. In public. It’s the only way to stamp this perversion out of society.
Life in prison w/out protective custody would be an even more severe punishment for these idiots, given how lowly the other inmates regard people who harm children.
Life in prison is not much of a deterrent for degenerate pervs. A very public execution or two, town to town, would definitely slow the pace. Make sure the purveyors of child porn and pimps of this activity would also die.
Some of them are sex offenders using drag queen story hour to get to kids.
