So, court says Drag can go on, in front of children. So, where do my friends here on the Forum draw the line, as Drag pushes the envelope a bit more, a little more skin in the show, maybe some verbosity, turning around and showing hairy butt? I am not being funny. How and Who and What will step up and say.."HEY, wait a minute.....this is a little much!"
Please get my question. We all agree there 'is a point', but truly, will we see it stopped? By whom? Someone like Shav? Seriously.
@averagejoe1 saidAre you okay with Scots wearing kilts?

And what so you think these drag queens want with kids? Other than to show that there’s nothing wrong with cosplay?

@averagejoe1 saidWell presumably when it contravenes your obscenity laws, have you got obscenity laws in your country Joe?

If your actual concern is not the level of obscenity that these children who are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian are exposed to but the very idea of them being exposed to men dressed as women, then no Joe, it’s for the parent or legal guardian to step up and decide what’s right.
That Tennessee sounds like a hotbed of floppy wristed liberals mate, I’d avoid it if I were you.
@kewpie saidAre you suggesting this activity is free speech? You gotta be kidding. They are free to speak. Right. You make what they ‘say’ the issue?
Unfortunately the folk who inserted that first amendment in your Constitution didn't think about unintended consequences. Nor did the second amendment lot. So you folks need to think about that. A lot. And then some more.
Is there one liberal among you who does not attempt to segue and change the issues of a post?

Free speech allows you to protest the actions of others.
Free speech which can harm others is included.
Free speech includes mime, acting, visual performance of any sort.
Free speech takes no account of the fragility of the hearers or viewers.
That's why most democracies apply some constraints. The US is only a pretend democracy anyway, so you may as well get used to it.

Accept that most of humanity disagrees with you and thinks you’re a coward.
