This couldn’t possibly make gay people look horrible while having no negative consequences whatsoever for the STRAIGHT producers and executives that created it.

Why do people imagine that drag is expressing how "unique" you are by dressing up in variations of the same clothes, makeup, wigs, and shoes as every other drag queen for the last 40 years and copying the same dance moves, gestures, poses, and expressions they've seen on TV and the internet?

I have... varied views on drag. I like(d) watching RuPaul's Drag Race (I haven't watched it in a few years but I enjoyed it when I did watch it) and I've gone to a couple of drag shows and had a good time. I don't think drag is misogynistic and I don't think that drag is inherently sexual. If these teen boys enjoy dressing up in outrageous outfits and getting on stage to sing or dance or whatever for an audience, I think that's fine. It's the context that matters. The world of professional drag is, to my understanding, rife with sex and drugs and all kind of things that kids and teens don't need to be exposed to.

If these kids want to express themselves in that way, I'm all for it if they're doing it for like, the school talent show or something similar. If they are being surrounded by and "mentored" by adult drag queens, that's a lot more iffy to me. I'm sure there are some drag queens that are reasonably well-adjusted individuals that see mentoring a teen drag queen as no different than an artist having a protege, but... I mean, I personally don't think I'd let my kid hang out with drag queens.

I always appreciate nuanced views.

That's the bit that freaks out sane people.

If straight people had to face the consequences of this shit, they wouldn't be fighting for it. None of the trans advocates ever have a trans partner, just like none of the fat advocates ever have a fat partner.

Straight people, it's Time to put your money where your mouth is and let your trans wife make love to you with her lady dick.

I love how all the dads look like they're dying inside
