    Not to mention that no one brings their kids to drag shows. But everyone takes their kid to church, and a lot of churches even have daycares attached where you can leave them all day.

      Drag performers sometimes do child friendly events such as story time, but there’s nothing sexual about those events. In fact, it’s no question why kids would be drawn to being read stories by someone in a whimsical costume.

      Fwiw, even burlesque performers sometimes do family friendly events (for obvious reason they do an outfit change rather than a strip tease). Anyone who does adult shows is very aware of the line between family friendly and not, and likely knows the local blue laws better than anyone else

        Yeah like there are definitely some drag shows you shouldn’t take your kids to but there’s also movies and concerts you shouldn’t take your kids to. There’s even kids horror movies vs the obvious r rated adult stuff. If they’re old enough to know boys and girls are different they’re old enough to understand that sometimes people do other shit for fun the same as they’re able to watch fucking Casper and experiment with the idea of death. It’s just a fucking genre.

    Welcome to the mids 2010s, may I take your coat? This was a very common thing to say, down to the word, and was posted everywhere for years since that was the peak of when the American right-wingers had temper tantrums over kids being around lgbtq+ people (mainly drag shows etc.).
    This isn’t a shower thought, it’s just a popular opinion.

    Well if dragshows were populated by powerful people getting heaps of tax free dollars and an opaque system that hides any accountability then kids would no longer be safe there.

    Any place where individuals hold a position of trust and authority is going to attract all kinds of abusers.

    maybe not a maga drag/ conservative dragqueen, these do exist.

    i think evangelicals, and probably mormon churchs hides more pedophelia, SA.

    better of with MS rachel.

    Genuinely one of the kindest gentlest most wholesome environments I’ve been in.

    Not that my experience is super broad or representative, but, maybe because there’s so much misunderstanding, they’re particularly patient and warm.

    Would definitely bring my kid to a drag show before leaving him alone with a priest.
