  1. What will be next ? Zoofilia pride parades? Zoofilia shows for children?
    There are no boundaries ?

  2. They lie, drag is done in gay bars as a show no children are allowed!

  3. I don’t care if someone wants to dress up in a woman’s outfit and entertain but Republicans sitting there trying to say that they are doing it so children are not exposed to sexual dancing is preposterous what they need to be taking on, is protecting our children from getting slaughtered with automatic weapons! They are more opposed to drag queens than they are to maniacs, slaughtering children with high powered weapons!!!

  4. Are these literal bans on dragshows? Bet not

  5. I hope all those creeps get pushed back under the rocks they crawled out from under.

  6. I USED TO WATCH RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE UNTIL 3 YEARS AGO WHEN THE AGENDA INDOCTRINATION BECAME RAMPANT.

  7. They’re mad because their priest doesn’t like sharing his victims.

  8. Who is next on the list I wonder?

  9. keep drag in drag bars where it belongs, kids don't need to see drag queens all over town

  10. It's when they bring children into it that it becomes a big, big problem

  11. Sad day for Tennessee. Hopefully there will be a day when these discriminatory bills are struck down or modified so that they don’t target drag queens

  12. Why is it always the conservative christian (f)right wingers being OBSESSED about this, but not stopping gun violence in schools (and churches). I'm supposing the straight white men making these laws have never been to a drag show, but they have been to plenty of strip clubs. Speaks volumes.

  13. This is not the first time this has happened they tried to ban female impersonation or drag back in the late 70s and it didn't work at that time the drag population has quadrupled since then RuPaul's drag race is one of the most popular and demanding series on TV and as a parent it irritates I want my children to be educated on everything and learn to respect every one's decision and rights ..

  14. Gender issues
    Leviticus 18:22 “Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.

    1 Corinthians 6:9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
    1 Corinthians 6:10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.

    REPENT AND TURN AWAY FROM SIN
    1 Corinthians 6:11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

    False teachings
    Galatians 5:9 This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!
    Galatians 5:10 I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.

    1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.

  15. I think it's okay.

  16. Its not gay if I pick flowers. It's not gay if I write poetry. Or it's not gay if use the word perfume. I just think it makes me in touch with my feminine side. Thank you.

  17. They want to focus all their attention on this instead of the children who are constantly being shot. Tennessee needs to get their priorities straight.

  18. Bella D Ball needs to find himself a Real job

  19. Men rule this world. We rule.

  20. Thats what happens when you go woke

  21. 20 years ago drag was ok in every state. See what happenes when you mess with us? You should have never messed with us

  22. My God what's next ? Should children be allowed in bars and strip clubs?

  23. Most all gays has always had a traumatic experience as a child

  24. "drag queens have been around since before laws existed"……..yep and so did rapists, murderers, child molesters and all the other humans that destroy a civilization

  25. Thank you Jesus finals it’s been banned in some state thank you

  26. all I’ve got to say on that , drag for ADULTS is fine but stay away from kids I understand they want to make awareness off there struggles but they are not the only ones how are struggling 😢 and wouldn’t take your child to a strip club so don’t take them to a over 21 bar end off , children are of bloody LIMITS whether it’s drag or changing there gender 😡 but it’s so sad to see this go the way it has . but rules need to be put in place

  27. " we dont want children to be exposed to sexually explicit show"
    Many American movies/series : "show fight, blood, implicite s*x, Dr*g, r*pe, m*rder, psychological abuse" this is a family friendly show

  28. No, not all adults can discern what is appropriate for kids, that's obvious.

  29. Why do drag queens want to perform for children so badly?

  30. just like how rome fall america will fall the same way.

  31. The sooner you freak shows get publicly banned from the eyes of children the better.

  32. I- will not- comp- BANG BANG

  33. Go be degenerates in private. Stop bringing children into it.
    You fought hard to keep your whatever happens in the bedroom your private business, keep it that way.

  34. We need real action where police are breaking down doors.

  35. Omg! They are just classifying drag as 18+ entertainment. The only thing illegal is the presence of children in a drag show. Do your God damn research. Nothing is being banned!

    Ya'll had this coming when that drag POC did a strip show for a kid.

  36. What kind of idiot bring a kid to this

  37. It is illegal to hold drag shows on public property in the presence of children or to have CHILDREN around it. No need to get your man panties in a bunch you can still march your rear end into an adult establishment and drag all you want just can’t do it with kids.

  38. God bless Tennessee!!!!

  39. Hey these kids getting shot and blew to pieces across our country, zero chance of them seeing a man marry another man or drag show now. That's a win #whatreallymatters

  40. What is behind this infatuation with often rather obscene and obnoxious LGBTQ community drag queen " entertainment " ? Are the sleazy promoters nostalgic for the last days of Germany's decadent Weimar Republic ?
    " The Culture of Narcissism " imagines that sexually mainstream Americans are endlessly fascinated by the openly gay people and their daily theatrics . Was there perhaps more dignity " in the closet " ?
    Decent Catholics every day are branded as constituting a HATE group in the WOKE Democrat mainstream news media. But the WOKE WARRIORS attached to the " progressive " Democratic Party excel in the anti-virtue of HATE themselves.
    And it is the " liberal " Democrats who have for years now betrayed the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.
    Is there something hateful about protecting children from Satanic evil ?

  41. heres something that noone wants to talk about…how much does insurance or medical providers get to charge to perform gender affirming care? o wait…small price tag is around $70K???? follow the money people

  42. Awsome finally…we are sick of the insanity. Leave the kids alone. Let them grow up.

  43. Why do drag ppl WANT to perform for children? Why did he say that in the end? Why is it so important to perform for children???
