    So you’re cool with kids being exposed to rape and murder and adult themes, provided these things are being done by heterosexual men, but men dressing up in women’s clothes is too much?

    Good point. Clearly they don’t care one bit about children.

    The welfare of children is a community concern.

    Of course. Rape and murder have been dramatic themes for centuries. So long as the evildoers are punished, I have no problem.

    Clearly I do. I don't want them debauched by queers. But see post 79.

    What are the existing regulations? What was the nature of the presentation?

    A link to more information would be helpful. Is this one reasonable...?

    https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article270506987.html

    Why is DeSantis investigating? Why isn't it a normal part of how government operates?

    Who is the government going to take to task and why?

    .

    Yes, I've already said as much. Such themes have been part of the culture for a long time, and the bad guys get punished. The endorsement of deviant sexual behavior as fun and exciting has not.

    You seem to be jumping to conclusions. Who says "the left" supports what happened in the whatever-it-was?

    So, seeing a drag show debauches kids? Somehow parents will be rendered unable to parent their kids because of a drag show? Even you can’t believe such utter nonsense. Really what’s going on here is your bigotry. Not that anyone is surprised.

    Men dressing as women has been a part of culture for centuries also. Have you been living under a rock?

    We don't even know what happened. Why are you in full flight against liberals?

    In fairness, it's not all of the left but all of those who support it are fully on the left.

    If even a fraction of your party supports it and the rest of the party does not vociferously distance themselves from it I would be reevaluating what party I identify with

    Of course drag shows debauch kids. It makes the parents job more difficult. And of course I am bigotted against debauchers of kids.

    Unfortunately for you that is a violation of the constitution to target specific groups in the law.

    Since you have stated you would have no issues if this were heterosexuals the law cannot target homosexuals

    You checkmated yourself

    This is about your opinion only and has nothing to do with a judge — FL will likely prevail under some unequal application of the law (temporarily) but nationwide it will not happen.

    10-15 years when boomers and people like yourself have passed the legislature and are no longer basing law on their feelings but rather actual equal application this will no longer be an issue.

    This is the important question.

    What makes adults want children exposed to sexual material? Keeping in mind that it's never in the child's interests, no matter what lies the adults concerned tell themselves.

    Who says the shows were aimed at kids?
    Who are you to tell @Vernan89188 or anyone else what to do?

    I am glad you asked. From the article I referenced above:

    To disrupt this dynamic, the authors propose a new teaching method, “drag pedagogy,” as a way of stimulating the “queer imagination,” teaching kids “how to live queerly,” and “bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the education of young children.” As Kornstein and Keenan explain, this is an intellectual and political project that requires drag queens and activists to work toward undermining traditional notions of sexuality, replacing the biological family with the ideological family, and arousing transgressive sexual desires in young children. “Building in part from queer theory and trans studies, queer and trans pedagogies seek to actively destabilize the normative function of schooling through transformative education,” they write. “This is a fundamentally different orientation than movements towards the inclusion or assimilation of LGBT people into the existing structures of school and societiy.”

    (emphasis mine)

    Kornstein is the founder of "Drag Queen Story Hour"

    What does any of this have to do with DeSantis' investigation?
