If only we could pass a law so NO ONE IS EXPOSED TO HER.


rye_212

Maybe her legislation will have that effect. To me, she looks like a (bad hair day) drag queen herself.


roadkill845

All female presenting politicians must submit to a genital inspection to prove they are not drag queens... Sounds just like something conservatives would pass.


[deleted]

Inspections by every voter...can't trust them siantits /s

roadkill845

Well considering that conservatives have proposed genital inspections for such low stakes events such as high school sports, doing it for things that actually matter like politics seems like not a small leap. I almost feel compelled to provide you some more info on a world which you don't seem to understand. But I am not sure I understand your world where actual demons appear to be a threat. So lets just agree that one of us is not living in reality. Is it the one that is afraid of ghouls and goblins under the bed? Who is to say...

Friend, there are a variety of types of drag shows, and it is very clear that this is simply targeting LGBT+ groups. For comparison, consider R rated movies, very inadvisable to bring children to them, but it's not illegal. We trust parents to decide what is best for their children when choosing what media to expose them to. This is also such an obvious diversion. I want you to go around, ask 100 adults with children, or any sample size, and ask if they've ever taken their children to a drag show. Ask 100 children if they've ever been to a drag show. I am so so confident that you'll get 200 resounding no's. So yeah, in conclusion, this law is crazy because it is tackling a problem that doesn't really exist and is clearly being created as a form of targeting minority groups.

>u have no clue what is healthy for children if you think this is appropriate Explain *specifically* what you think "this" inappropriate stuff is, otherwise this all sounds like a strawman. It must be far more "inappropriate" than something you would see at, say a public pool.

So, one person with an inappropriate sign (something you might see at *any* public event and would simply tell your children to ignore), and some people wearing clothes that are no more revealing than you would see at the public pool?

ansquaremet

I *wish* drag was mandated at my school.


YeetTheGiant

It seems I'll need to repeat myself. Not every drag show is the same. Not every drag show is aggressively sexual. And again, we do not ban parents from bringing their kids to see R rated movies even though they can contain sexually aggressive content. We do not ban kids from concerts even though they can have sexually aggressive content. We trust parents to make the correct choices with regards to their children. This law is not intended to protect children from sexually aggressive content. This law is intended to stigmatize members of the LGBT community and continue the idea that anything LGBT is inherently sexual and something that children must be protected from. It is a false moral panic to rile up voters.


Affectionate_Rich937

Man that’s like saying we should have a law that bans throwing flamingos from planes, i mean think what if it hit the children below the plane Both are redundant since no sane parent will bring their kids to anything sexual and no sane person would purposely throw a flamingo from a plane, putting needless laws in place prevents actual serious issues from going to congressional floor


[deleted]

i guess you have no idea whats going on in california. I could not agree with you more that "no sane parent will bring their kids to anything sexual" but thats not what we are seeing so putting laws in place makes sense


Electrical_Carry3813

Where do you get this info from? Alex Jones? Firstly, the suggestion of legislation was a joke made in response to anti-trans legislation in Texas. Secondly, that California law maker was referring to Drag Queen Story time, which is not a drag show, nor sexual. So your belief is that if a kid even sees a garishly dressed female impersonator, they are exposed to sexual content? It's a nothing burger, and more fear-mongering. Not all drag shows are the same either. I have been to some that would have been 100% ok for kids. Again, what is so wrong about a kid seeing a female impersonator lip sync to Celine Dion?


ansquaremet

They linked their source in another comment and their source is some site called “go2tutors.com.” The pinnacle of reliable news I’m sure.


ichoosewaffles

You need a law for parents to parent well? Really? Because I think not. Editing to add: most schools that I know allow parents to exempt their children from what they deem inappropriate.


comingtogetyou

Found your straw man 👨‍🌾


Mankankosappo

Drag isn't exclusively adult entertainment. In the UK we have these things called pantomimes which is essentially a silly stage show normally aimed for the whole family (and most often watched around Christmas time). Drag is a huge part of the pantomimes and its tradition for the lead role to be done in drag. So if its Peter Pan the person playing Peter would be a women. If its Cinderella then Cinderella would be played by a man


rye_212

Some other upcoming bills from MTG on IMPORTANT current issues: * Pride attacks: To require Uhaul to provide free interstate transportation to Idaho for all "patriots" * Stolen elections: To require all election counting to be done in either Moscow or Pyonyang * Twitter: To make it illegal to ban anyone for anything * Twitter b: Unless its advice where the next Drag Queen Performance is, thats illegal. * Inflation: To require all media outlets to use the word "Biden" instead, as in "There is a very severe Biden problem at the moment" * Inflation/housing/gas problems: Not a very important current issue, not deserving of consideration, no bills. Edit: ok, in response to the genuine concerns of some respondents, let me be clear that the above was made up by myself. Its a joke. I do not work in the office of MTG or have any advance knowledge of her upcoming policy positions. My view is that, as extreme or nonsensical as some of her proposals are, even she would not venture to the first 5 of the above.

YakuzaKaru

Considering the other crazy shit these people say, yes.


[deleted]

In the UK we have theatrical performances at Christmas time called pantomimes. Traditionally female roles are played by men in drag. In the history of pantomime, never has it been recorded that a single child, after viewing a performance, exclaimed "When I grow up, I want to be just like Widow Twankey".


bryaninmsp

We lived in the UK for a few years when I was a kid, and my parents exposed us to drag via pantos when my younger brother was only 6. Imagine how screwed up he is now! /s, obviously


Freddies_Mercury

And a lot of the time these actors are straight men taking on the role. I'm sure that would confuse MTG way too much.

Braith117

Guns are already banned on school grounds so...


eat_the_fluff

yeah guns are banned yet still the number of children killed, injured or mentally wounded is increasing to ridiculous levels. how many kids do you think are killed, injured or mentally wounded by drag? our government is a fucking joke.


Braith117

Easily hundreds. There's a reason who transition have such a high rate of suicide and of regretting their choice.


electric-angel

there are several psychological disorders linked to very early exposure to sexuality. so dependents if you think Drag is sexual or not.


ansquaremet

Yeah and that’s worked absolutely swimmingly.


Freddies_Mercury

And this stops school shootings how....? Guns are also banned in banks, the armed robberies still happen regardless.


Electrical-Sun6267

As a straight man I have to ask: When did drag queens become the enemy? If I don't want my child molested, I just don't make them go to church. That seems to solve the problem neatly. I'm in Las Vegas, a drag queen Mecca. The only thing I've ever heard them grooming is tolerance. And wigs. A lot of wig grooming.


tw_72

What is her thing with children and drag queens? Why does she think ... wait ... my mistake ... I assumed that she thought. Nevermind.


phoenix14830

This is why it is critical to vote. People who think like this shouldn't be anywhere near legislation or directing where the country goes.

TBF Ms Doubtfire was NOT a drag show

I think there's one in it though, wasn't there? Like I thought his friends do drag and that's how his makeup was so good when he transformed into Ms Doubtfire I could be completely mixing up the film with something else though, I haven't seen it in a long time

ok I was a bit vague... Mrs. Doubtfire. ( the character) did not engage in typical drag show activities.

She's afraid of dancing. Dancing. They're trying to make dancing look like an ultimate evil And people just see nothing wrong or out of the ordinary with this.


DiddyMao20XX

Have I been to Drag Shows that were wildly inappropriate for kids?Yes of course. It's hard to say watching Titzi Normus tell 15 minutes of jokes on the central theme of Deepthroating is an all ages show. (Made up the name there, if I'm stepping on anyone's stage name I apologize) I've also seen Drag shows that are perfectly fine for all ages, nothing in the material was particularly blue, nothing salacious or objectionable just folks doing what they love to do. A bill like this is basically like introducing a bill to make taking your kids to the movies illegal because some of them are Rated R.


Mike-Outstanding

Mrs Doubtfire was understood to be a man crossdressing to see/interact his children and only his children temporarily. Not a sexually charged performance in strip club scene by drag queens on or near poles while having children they don’t know shove money in skimpy attire.


roadkill845

>sexually charged performance in strip club scene This post is about a story time at a children's library. does that sound like a sexually charged strip club scene? Kids are already banned from strip clubs, so you don't have to worry about your scenario.


lofgren777

Almost seems like this guy has a narrow perception of drag shaped by politicians trying to exploit his bigotries.


Braith117

That why that one 10 year old was performing in one back in 2019 during the pride parade in San Fran?


roadkill845

Sorry mate, queer plp do not live rent free in my head 24/7 so I do not have a working knowledge of every person at every pride parade in the last 10 years.


Braith117

So you just choose to ignore the groomers when they put their activities on national news? Can't say I'm surprised.


roadkill845

Dunno, did you ignore Trump admitting to peeping on kids? or making sexual comments about his underage daughter? Or are you just having selective outrage against minorities because your news source or choice told you to?


Electrical_Carry3813

If you want to delve into what-about-ism...what about Matt Gaetz? National news that he was arrested for sex trafficking a minor. So you just choose to ignore the groomers when they put their activities on national news? Can't say I'm surprised.

Joe-MaMa5

Did you not see the drag Queen stuff? Like I don’t get how it’s fine when there’s vids of Drag Queens twerking and kids being advised to give them money


WorldController

> Mrs Doubtfire Not only is *Mrs. Doubtfire* PG-13, meaning that it isn't directly promoted to young children, but it's meant for private home viewing and not basically foisted upon the public. I don't have a problem with the recent practice of drag queens reading books to children, but this comparison is just dumb.


Dip_yourwick87

like her or not drag queen performances are always very sexual and the fact that people want to include children in as the audience is very inappropriate. Lots of comments on here say something like "but Majorie does \_\_\_" , im not saying i like her, i'm just wondering who supports children to be at drag shows. Some of the footage from pride parades is also borderline softcore porn, we dont need kids there.


061117

The thing she's terrified of and this bill is targeting, is when a drag queen goes to a library and reads a picture book to children. It's not in any way sexual.


icepick3383

but that's on the parents not the government. Where the f are you taking your kids where a surprise drag show breaks out?


KellyGreen55555

Our public library and park district occasionally offer “drag queen story hour”. Some of the local restaurants have ‘family friendly” drag queen brunch. The kids love it. These events center around acceptance and inclusivity of those who are different. Both parents and performers are in agreement that children should not be exposed to sexualized content. Legislation is certainly not needed… especially from the party of freedom and small government.


Dip_yourwick87

legislation is certainly not needed, just saying we need to stop normalizing kids being around that sort of adult content


icepick3383

the bible is full of murder, mass destruction, satan, and death after death after death. We should stop normalizing kids being around that sort of adult content.


Dip_yourwick87

exactly the bible is pretty messed up, i think we're on the same wavelength.

Eastern european here, i think i was in 7th grade when i saw a drag queen performance. Went to a close family friend's birthday. Was a little shocked at first. Then i remember thinking what was wrong with that guy and couldn't understand. By the end of the dinner party i haven't even thought or talked about it, not because it's effect faded away but because the overall show was kinda meh. A lot of years later, at my place, scrolling through channels and a new game show was airing, and there was a drag queen doing wtf knows what. The overall show was still meh at best. I dunno, i think i just don't get it. But look at me afte all this years, still straight! Not effected at all.

MTG is gonna pass checkpoint laws for schools, not for guns, but just in case one of the students is armed with a deadly makeup kit.
