'Drag Race' star Jinkx Monsoon slams wave of anti-drag laws
NBC News ^ | March 18 | NBC News

Posted on 03/18/2023 1:27:48 PM PDT by RandFan

"RuPaul's Drag Race" star Jinkx Monsoon doubled down on her denouncement of the Republican-led legislative push to restrict drag performances, in an interview that aired Friday on MSNBC's "The 11th Hour With Stephanie Ruhle."

“What I want to say to the people trying to oppress my community right now, is look what’s happened every time you’ve tried to oppress a community in America,” Monsoon told Ruhle. “You tried to oppress women, women got the vote. You tried to oppress people of color, we’re not accepting that anymore.”

She added, "We’re not accepting that some citizens just have to sit on the outside and be the outliers of our society, because that’s not what this country was supposedly founded on."

Lawmakers in at least 16 states have so far this year proposed legislation that would restrict drag performances, according to an NBC News analysis. The majority of the bills would ban the performances in the presence of minors and fine repeat violators thousands of dollars. Some would ban the art form in public and would send repeat violators to prison.

This month, Tennessee became the first state to enact such legislation, banning “adult cabaret entertainment” on public property or in locations where it can be viewed by minors.

"'Drag Race' star Jinkx Monsoon slams wave of anti-drag laws"

They should have left the kids alone. We warned them. They didn't listen. Evil never does.

They are not anti-drag laws. They are adult only laws.

Personally, I'm against anti-drag laws.

Wait. What's that you say? It's about mentally ill pervert child groomers?

Crazy thing about this, I have been to a drag show at a venue and they just sang and it was clean, nothing sexual, lip singing.

But what I have seen of the draq queens is schools is the most perverted type of entertainment I have ever seen.

Nobody care you drag.

But most sane people care that children are not exposed to filth and lewd conduct.

Work in a strip bar or nightclub, but the nanosecond you Drag in front of children, you let everyone know exactly WHAT YOU ARE.

You can’t hide from most parents who know what you are. It is the other few mothers who should digust even something like you in their efforts to not protect their children.

My thoughts as well. My 74 Road Runner with a built 440 and a Hayes street strip clutch was wicked fast. As a funny side note, had a Dodge Omni GLH that scorched a ton of racers as well.

Great memories!

Keep it on the streets late at night. The challenge will be corrected in time.

Need more coffee. I was thinking this was a thread defending street racing. I was ready to jump in and offer up multiple reasons why it’s a bad idea. Never mind.

When I first saw an ad for RuPaul’s Drag Race, I thought it was an event featuring automobiles engaging in a speed contest.

banning an “art form” eh?

This is what NBC News considers “art”:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4138611/posts


The Hyatt Regency Miami hosted “A Drag Queen Christmas” in December, which included performers rubbing prosthetic breasts and genitals on the faces and mouths of attendees, exposed rears, simulated masturbation, “graphic depictions of childbirth and/or abortion,” according to a complaint the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation filed.

....

Sexual remixes to popular Christmas songs such as “Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer,” were also played with explicit lyrics including, “You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Vomit and Stupid and Dildo and D***s-in…” and “Then one soggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say ‘Screwdolph with your nipples so bright won’t you guide my sleigh tonight,” according to the department.

One reason I avoid Pluto TV - every commercial break seemed to advertise that or another similar perverted show. Many of the same streaming channels are on Redbox, Xumo, and STIRR and lack that kind of advertising.

in addition to post 31 above, another depiction of what NBC News apparently believes is “art”:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3883281/posts


Take, for example, the RuPaul dramedy AJ and the Queen which premiered in January of 2020. The show involves ten-year-old A.J. (Izzy G.), a girl dressed like a boy, who accompanies RuPaul to drag shows all over the country. One of the queens refers to little AJ as a “top,” a sexual term in LGBT culture. In one episode, A.J. puts on RuPaul’s giant fake breasts and lays on her back in the pool as RuPaul watches. In front of the girl, adults discuss someone being slipped a roofie. The offensive sexual content involving the child actor in this show is too much to list. Luckily, AJ and the Queen was canceled after just one season.

Some things SHOULD be oppressed. Freaks trying to indoctrinate kids to accept their perversions and insanity as normal are one of them. What the freaks feel or think is unimportant.

A brief summary of the movement.

Homosexuals only want to be left alone, they don’t want to marry.

Homosexuals only want to marry, they don’t want to adopt kids.

Homosexuals only want to adopt, they don’t want to control youd kids.

Homosexuals only want to indoctrinate your kids to embrace them, they don’t want to molest your kids.

Homosexuals want your children as playthings, it’s not like they want to imprison you or send you to camps.

Please report to the reeducation camps....

Space ship ‘666’, get ready to export ‘Drags’ to another planet.
It’s only human. They need their own space.

It is. Most of the media follow this now not that we agree with it

It’s actually considered offensive in some parts not to follow this.

Madness!

Do these morons realize that is a “3rd person” thing, those pronouns?

In regular discussion, talking in 3rd person means that 3rd person IS NOT THERE so how does it(?) know anyone is offending it?
