              Well, they sure as hell aren’t when they’re reading to kids at the library, so how about we “compromise” by not letting children into the 18+ venues when they are sexual?

                Reading to kids and not conforming to conservatism’s prescribed roles is what scares reactionaries.

                They very much want to stop them both.

                  I have honestly never seen drag queens in a sexual context. To me they just seem like people (not even specifically like women, and definitely not sexualised versions of them) who had a little too much fun with makeup. I don’t find it appealing either, but I don’t care because they’re free to do as they please and it doesn’t bother me in any way. If you see anything sexual in their appearance, that’s your problem. Some might see something sexual in spaghetti/tank tops or bikinis, but who cares, especially children usually don’t even think of that.

                  Because if you had it your way, we would never teach them anything about sex, ever. And that’s how you groom kids up to be molested by the clergy and close relatives.

                  “Children will never get burned if we make it illegal to teach them about fire!” -cablemonster and friends.

              How about you stop whining about imaginary specks in your neighbor’s eye when you have a plank to remove from your own? Pedophiles are everywhere in churches, because people like you do everything to keep their favorite hunting grounds safe and easy.

              All this hysteria about trans women only began after churches got caught providing aid and comfort to tens of thousands of active pedophiles among the clergy. Been a while since that was in the news, hasn’t it? Sure wasn’t because y’all cleaned house though, was it? Nope. It’s because y’all started screeching about persecution, pointing fingers, and blaming social outcasts for your crimes.

              The LGBTQ community has zero tolerance for child molesters. The church only has zero tolerance for us, but y’all keep your pedos around, safe and sound, and your kids ignorant of the danger and ripe for the plucking.

              I’ve told you this before, and will continue to do so, whenever I see it. But you never respond. I wonder why that is? Oh yeah, it’s because you know it’s true and you’ve got nothing.

              Remove the plank from your own eye, you hypocrite.

          How are YOU going to explain to your kids that they’re more likely to be molested in church and at home than anywhere else? Pedophiles flock to churches because believers never question so-called men of God. Even when they do get busted, you idiots always forgive them and blame the victim instead. The entire reason y’all are freaking out and accusing innocent LGBTQ people of child grooming is because everyone knows that YOU hysterical shit-stirrers give pedophiles free reign to do exactly that in church. You want to take attention off that fact. That’s what grooming is.

            And it’s weirdly only the US that seems to get all weird and upset about Drag. The UK took Shakespeare another step forward with the Panto (men play women, women play men), and they love it.
