There’s no double standard. I’m against any type of sexually charged behavior exhibited towards children. What is difficult for you to understand about that?

The cheerleaders aren’t doing sexual explicit movements. And if they are, I don’t approve at all!
Lol on the cheerleaders not performing sexually explicit dances.

Why do you continue to avoid the question about Ru Paul?

Hint - we know why.

Ru Paul? I guess my concern there is why is it necessary for Ru Paul to feel the need to have an audience of children? Seems like the intent isn’t pure…

A felony?!:

Exposing minors to drag shows would be criminalized under a proposed bill in the Iowa Legislature that critics say is overly broad and could potentially target artistic performances.



The House Education Subcommittee on Tuesday advanced House Study Bill 158, which would bar minors from attending drag shows or performances where a performer “exhibits a gender identity that is different than the performer’s gender assigned at birth through the use of clothing, makeup, accessories or other gender signifiers.”


The bill defines performances as singing, lip-synching, dances and readings.




Under the legislation, an adult who knowingly takes a minor to a drag show would be guilty of a Class D felony, which is punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of at least $1,025, but not more than $10,245. The Class D felony charge also would apply to business operators who knowingly let minors attend drag performances at their venues. They could face a fine of $10,000 for each minor in attendance.


The legislation comes as LGBTQ+ pride events, including drag story times where drag performers read to children at libraries and bookstores, have been targeted by conservative efforts to restrict them. Opponents of drag story times argue they expose children to “sexualized behavior.”

Shameful we need laws to keep the kids away from the freaks and pedos
