The question these people need to answer is “Why?”. Why is it so important to them that children are exposed to an adult burlesque performers (who are often just doing nothing but lip syncing to songs and dancing in a sexually suggestive fashion whilst wearing revealing clothing)?

I wouldn’t allow a <16 year old to go to a Madonna or Lizzo show, so why is it so fucking important that they be allowed to go to see a man dress up as a woman and do a vastly inferior version?

Why is there no one suggesting that gay doctors, lawyers and airline pilots visit schools and talk about how they got on as gay teens and became successful professionals? Yet they are so desperate to present quite an old fashioned stereotype of gayness to young children?

The question these people need to answer is “Why?”.

The answer: Because these are insane, extreme narcissists.

Because they are insane extreme narcissists, whenever there's an issue in the world, their only thought about the issue is "but how does this effect ME?".

With "don't let children get exposed to adult burlesque shows", they don't care about the rights of the drag queens or even what they're doing. They care that if this happens, THEY may not get what they, personally, want somewhere.

(Note: Considering how hardline the anti-drag show laws are [one recent one was so hardline that "drag" was defined as "anyone singing or dancing while wearing makeup", which literally goes down to "a cis woman going to the dance club or singing is technically illegal under this law"], they kind of have a point.)
