Of course it’s abuse.

These drag shows for kids are everywhere.

I am so used to CPS being used across the country to threaten Christian parents, I don’t feel 100% comfortable with this.

But if they are going to be used, I think this is about as good a reason as any.

I know that liberals love drag queen story hours, and say we are too judgemental etc. if we don’t want kids exposed to that.

But where do we draw any lines? For example, isn’t it against the law to take underage children into strip joints, or pornographic bookstores? Isn’t the law on the side of those who don’t want kids exposed to drag queens and all that goes with them? I don’t know the laws, but suspect that draq queens can be considered adult entertainment, just as strippers are. If not, they should be.

It’s none of his damn business. Nanny state dressed as a donkey or elephant is a NO.

Following the link to the Dallas incident, that venue had a sign at the end of the club that read…

CPS? The attorney general should be involved. Kids being taken to strip shows and being made to put money down a thong is almost certainly a criminal offense.

Child abuse is one thing that is very much the government’s business.

You do realize Shakespeare was originally performed but an entire male cast with teenage boys performing the women’s roles, right? Drag is performance art. It’s theatrics.

Are you freaking kidding me? Comparing this kind of stuff to Shakespeare? Taking kids to a place with neon signs saying "It's not gonna lick itself" to going to a Shakespeare play? Taking kids to strip shows and having them put money down the thong? Comparing that to seeing a Shakespeare play? That is beyond ridiculous. You are crazy if you think this stuff is mere "performance art" and in any way comparable to Shakespeare plays with men playing the women's roles.

It's easy to spot posers as they always use the obligatory, "I love Trump but"....

Oz won the PA Primary by 915 votes.

Don’t expect a better percentage in any future primaries.

BTW my DJT texts begathon texts to my phone have tailed off by more than half during the past week.

If you see some of the videos and photos there was stripping (or they weren't wearing much of anything to begin with) with kids being made to put money down the thong with the parents smiling and filming it. Here is an example. This is what the poster above responding to you apparently believes is "performance art" comparable to Shakespeare plays.

Typical Neocon response.

“ It’s none of his damn business. ”

So if parents aren’t feeding their kids, would that be “none of the states business “ too? Or if they’re forcing their kids to sleep in the cold outside on a winters night, as punishment for something? Are you suc h a libertarian that you don’t think there’s any grounds for protecting kids from abusive parents?
