Drag queens oppose Tennessee bill seeking to classify drag as 'adult cabaret' and ban performances in front of children
Daily Mail ^ | 21 Dec 2022 | VANESSA SERNA

Tennessee drag queens are taking on a state bill that will ban their performances in the presence of children.

Republican senator Jack Johnson proposed Senate Bill 3 that aims to restrict drag events that children can easily attend for being sexually explicit....

...The Senate bill refers to drag events as 'adult cabaret performances,' and is filed under 'obscenity and pornography.'

If passed, it 'creates an offense for a person who engages in an adult cabaret performance on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.'

Advocates for the drag community argue that the acts are an art form....

...Saunders warned that the bill can be a danger to the LGBTQ community because it refers to drag performers as 'male or female impersonators.'

All states should have a similar law, but it should be in conjunction with anti-groomer laws of a such I have yet to see written.

As it stands right now, many so-called ‘educators’ are guilty of a combination of grooming & child abuse.

I - for one - would like to see them all prosecuted...at a minimum exposed for the perverts they are and banned from interfacing with children for the rest of their natural lives.

“Far’s I can see, a drag show is nothing but a minstrel show with different makeup and should be treated with the equal scorn.”

Yes. Some decades ago ‘sophisticated’ NYC cabarets (where no children were admitted) featured ‘female impersonators’.playing the part of famous female entertainers. Time has progressed to what can only be called freak shows.

They should never have had access to children.
= = =

They are not coming inside people’s houses (yet).

The parents (one or two or three or two daddies?) are taking them.

How about a law prohibiting exposing children to this stuff.

Calif. has a law prohibiting exposing children to gun advertisements. The principle is the same.

Remember when corrupting the morals of a minor was a criminal offense? Now, it’s practically mandatory.

This is exactly what it is and where it should be.

Now do an age limit for transgender medical mutilation...

From the comments:

Boomers- “I can’t believe I wore bell bottoms!”
Gen X- “I can’t believe I wore my hair like that!”
Millennials- “ I can’t believe I was goth/emo!”
Gen Z- “I can’t believe I cut off my dick/tits!”

My comment on this is always: “Where are the parents?” Why are adult women taking their children to this garbage. I think any parent who takes their minor children to one of these “shows” should have their children removed from their custody.

Performances in the presence of children.

That’s child abuse the kids need to be removed from a parent that takes one there.
Some people wonder why some kids are so messed up at such a young age.
