Good for Tennessee! Drag is adult entertainment only and needs to stay that way. LBGT "education" needs to stay out of schools too. Even 10 years ago, this would be totally unacceptable, now it is being pushed as "normal", and it is not.
Exactly

Nice!
Drag shows were not banned in Tennessee, the ban in Tennessee was issued as an age restriction for children admitted into clubs or drag shows considered adult entertainment.
Libraries are not places of adult entertainment. A "club" is just a building, and if the show is age appropriate there is no more wrong with it than seeing a Milton Berle show, or a movie with Jerry Lewis or Carry Grant dressed in drag. Stop being so hysterical.

Also would this be different if it was reversed drag?

Hmm?
Call it transphobia or homophobia if you want. We don't care what you call us. We care about children.
When they call us transphobia or homophobia then its only fair if we call them child groomer or child predator.

Remember back in the day drag shows were known as late night adult entertainment like strip club shows?
And everything changed when they put the word “All Ages” in their shows
And that's what it was Adult entertainment and a bloody good night out at the Cross
They didn't engage in child grooming, propaganda, forcing their ideology down your throat, or engaging in unfair competition against women in sports.
Drag queens are practically the opposite of strippers.
IT's not unlikely that the only actual human skin you're seeing on a drag performer are the whites of their eyes.
Just because you got used to a culture of censorship that does not entitle you to a maintained delusion.
Adult men wanting to perform to children is something I would not want my kids to be near. What is wrong with this country, we have people that are twisted that certainly should not be around children in my opinion
So male performers should be panned from performing for children?
CLOSE DOWN ALL THE BROADWAY SHOWS! SHUT DOWN HOLLYWOOD!!!
@@brucethedawg cross dressers, drags exploiting their private parts in front of children is down right sick and should be banned
@@pacificbuildingcare yeah… so drag queens literally strap away and tuck in their genitalia….
The one who takes the children to Drag Queens' shows needs to be called child service.
Yah & I don't want my kids near christians (given their... history with kids). So guess what, I don't bring them around religious people. I don't need the state meddling in my affairs
There's no anti-lgb bills. There's anti-trans bills, mainly to keep men from dominating women's sports and protect children from inappropriate adult entertainment.
But yet they don't protect children from guns. I'm surprised they feel this is more of a "threat". I guess most common sense people can see through this, but not republican voters (especially in Tennessee)
@LadieKatieyou’re making the country worse for your children.
Why are they so adamant on preforming in front of little kids... is a better question?

@@jeffreymarra231 You want to protect children from guns? Then start holding Democrats responsible for the staggeringly high rates of crime in cities with the highest gun homicides in America. That means places like Philadelphia, Atlanta, Baltimore, etc...I'm sure you care just as much about those cities right?
@@keip4568 They're not fighting to perform in front of kids, they're fighting to be able to perform at all. It is up to a childs parent to decide what is appropriate for them not the government. If the parents don't want their kids at drag shows, they won't take them - pretty simple. And I guarantee if it was a woman dressed as a man, they'd have no problem with it.
Stop grooming our kids! 😡

@@TheSuperPsychoKiller The one who takes the children to Drag Queens' shows needs to be called child service.
You are completely wrong. How do I know? I can GUARANTEE these places sell alcohol because alcohol is the main revenue source of all clubs. What's the rules regarding minors in places that serve alcohol: "Minors may not frequent licensed [alcohol] establishments unless accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or are under the supervision of an adult over 25 years of age."

Drag shows are one thing, involving kids is Something Else
Drag is diverse, there is content for all audiences.
But people are usually just upset because "men shouldn't dress that way"
I heard they’re banning it because they let kids go in there but that’s just what I heard
All X-rated businesses' perverted displays are restricted to being behind closed doors, kept out of the public's and children's view; so why should this be any different?
"The agenda is to exist" But you do exist. I am confused. What does that mean.
WHY DO THEY INSIST ON READING STORIES TO CHILDREN ?
WHY DO THEY NEED TO INVOLVE CHILDREN WITH THEIR LIFESTYLE ?
HOW COME CHILDREN ?
WHY ?
are you referring to the church? I agree
@@brucethedawg Another dog
I mean I don't care what grown people do but I completely am on the side with parents for not wanting people to influence their children with their sexuality that's completely disgusting and also having girls compete against men my question is why don't we ever see it the other way women who transition to men competing in men's sports lol I guess it's a little different when it's not an advantage
We do see it the other way, it's just not complained about.
The one who takes the children to Drag Queens' shows needs to be called child service.
1) "people to influence their children with their sexuality": Not a thing.
2) "why don't we ever see it the other way women who transition to men competing in men's sports" Lets not pretend womens sports matter. No one wants to see a bunch of ugly chicks with 8th grade boy level skills play sports. You don't care, I don't care, let's not pretend we do
I don't think grown people should be encouraged to sterilize themselves. You should care what other people in your community are doing, especially if it'll change things like the population over time.
Kids can wait until the age of 18. I never saw one single kid out of 3 high schools I attended wanting to go into the wrong bathroom or actually convinced they were in the wrong body. History should show us these kids are being taught to fight adult battles for alphabet activists and it is sad that the kids are in the middle. Alphabet activist should let kids be kids and focus on adult problems with adults.
Do you have any idea what it is like to be transgender child? I cannot imagine you do so you do not have any idea what it is like and have no place to say otherwise.
People already had to wait until 18. I can GUARANTEE these places sell alcohol because alcohol is the main revenue source of all clubs. What's the rules regarding minors in places that serve alcohol: "Minors may not frequent licensed [alcohol] establishments unless accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or are under the supervision of an adult over 25 years of age."
So was already not a thing. Aka this entire thing is stupid
@@camadams9149 You are guessing and trying to make it something terrible when it isn’t. Nice try though
@@emmasparkles1113 It's not a guess. It's a fact. The average profit margins on alcohol is 85%. Why do you think there is a coverage charge to enter clubs late at night? Because you won't drink enough so they have to charge you directly
1) Drag shows are almost entirely at clubs
2) Financially there is no way to run a club without selling alcohol
3) In TN minors are not allowed on the premise where alcohol is sold unless they are accompanied by someone over 25
1 + 2 + 3 = Minors at drag shows were explicitly brought there by their parents. The governor claims to want to protect parental rights
@@camadams9149 but alcohol isn’t sold when there are kids being read at to

According to certain economists, it's possible that the U.S. and certain parts of Europe might experience a recession at some point in 2023. Although a global recession, which is characterized by a decline in annual global per capita income, is relatively uncommon due to the faster growth rates of emerging markets like China, in comparison to developed economies. Basically, if economic growth lags behind population growth, it's considered that the global economy is in a state of recession.
Currently, my primary worry is how to increase revenue during periods of quantitative easing. I cannot afford to witness my savings dwindle away.
It's a delicate season now, so you can do little or nothing on your own. Hence I’ll suggest you get yourself a financial expert that can provide you with valuable financial information and assistance
Very true! I've been able to scale from $120K to $389k in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns
How can I reach this adviser of yours? because I'm seeking for a more effective investment approach on my savings, IRA and 401k accounts.
My financial advisor, "Jackson Sten Marsh, is a highly qualified and experienced professional in the financial market. he possesses a broad understanding of portfolio diversification and is recognized as an expert in this field.
Finally someone is stepping up and setting boundaries for these people
It's about time omg totally agree
We will fight for the protection of children no matter the cost whether it be money, time, or even reputation is the cost we will fight and we won’t bow down to these demands that they’ve made.
Yeah, it's called oppression.

What are you afraid of?
@@Grokford I have kids... so yeah it is lol how embarrassing for you. Well when you tell people how to feel (still doing it) you might find you are wrong.
@@emd1494
"I have kids... so yeah it is lol how embarrassing for you."
And I have a mother darling, so I know that there's plenty of things that a parent can do "for their kids" that are really just for them.
I suspect your children aren't grown up or independent enough to give you feedback on your parenting.
"Well when you tell people how to feel (still doing it) you might find you are wrong."
In any case unless you've just done a very bizarre job of parenting you're children are not going to be scared or hurt by finding out that Edna Mode was played by a man, or that SpongeBob was played by a woman.
I've never seen a child cry because a man wore nail polish or a skirt
You're children are not going to be scared of mediocre karaoke, and they're no more likely to be scared of a drag Queen than by a clown or an animal mascot.
[Actually, point of personal experience, once upon a time I _was_ an animal mascot. I never once had a child be scared or cry which might be unusual, but you would not believe how many adults were... *terrified* I had multiple grown women cry because they saw me. I had to keep track of all these people because they'd start staring and getting anxious if I was facing in their direction.
Maybe there's a parallel?]
Even if by some bizarre set of circumstances your children are terrified of gender nonconformity then that's probably your fault. (You're the one who taught them how gender works after all.) That's a super weird trait that children do not normally have.
And even if it's just some strange coincidence your children's and hang-ups are not the world's responsibility.
We don't ban strobe lights and disco balls because epilepsy exists.

The truth is more complex than the simple lies we tell ourselves for our own comfort.
Your concerns are your own, your fears are your own, this was never in doubt.
But you do not know why you feel the way you do, and that ought to terrify you far more than some community theater act in a basement you'll never visit.
You seek to use the law to strike out, at what, you do not even know.
It is fear, pure and simple.
Perhaps this is more digestible for you.
Stay away from children
This is pure demonic!
You're scared of a costume, clutch your pearls harder puritan.
But not Hooters or Twin Peaks. It's not about child "safety."
I was under the impression they had an 18+ entry level. At least all of mine do locally.
@Toaster they have never been 18 plus at least since I first came across them. Kids can't be in the bar area, but at the tables, they don't have any issues with kids. I've been in there on days and nights and there are kids running around, babies in parents arms, teens after games, etc. Tilted Kilt was the same way, but I haven't seen one of those in Florida or Tennessee. So that might be a regional place.
If it wasn’t so brazen and out of line to begin with
There will not have been a call for bills
Total BS.
90% of all drag shows are held late at night in private bars, usually with age restrictions.
People once again just tried to find something to be angry about.

@@BatmanAD
So we should take Popeye and SpongeBob of the air, because they're both shows aimed at children where the focus of the show is a woman pretending to be a man?
Or is it only disgusting and scary when a man does it?
Well, I don't think that you're too worried about Mrs. Doubtfire or Edna Mode. Or even Madea for that matter which is a bit more adult due to the themes.
All that's coming across here man is that you have some very specific gender anxieties and you're projecting that onto the rest of the world.
But if there's one thing that children actually do not need, it's being given your hang-ups.
I pray you find the actual truth. And stop living in. A world of delusion and justified perversion. Theres Nothing you can say that can justify grown men women in front of kids in a intentionally doctrine centered way. Point blank period. God bless you soul. And i pray you come to christ one day.
