    How can anyone think that this guy is dangerous for children? I expect tgat children have a blast if he tells them stories. Just as they will love it if someone dressed up as a princess, a frog, a witch or a horse reads them a story.

      I was literally a kid in 1993 and I *LOVED* rupaul. I thought it was so much fun. I didn’t really understand how the weights and pulleys worked but I loved it anyway.
      And his other big hit “back to my roots” was in my cassette Walkman all the time.
      Not only was he not a threat he was a relief from all the other real threats like gang violence and bullying.

      Honestly I don't get the animosity toward drag queens. Kids play dress up and dance and perform all the time; what is wrong with them seeing adults perform and dance and dress up? "You can be whatever you want" is true. If you love to dress up and perform, you can keep doing that and you can do it as a career later in life! Nothing wrong with telling kids that IMO.

    • @TheRoger2244
      @TheRoger2244 Год назад +10

      Not all drag spaces are for children … like drag isn’t for children since it’s conception, but not because they are “dangerous” it’s just an adult environment
      I think even Ru Paul has said “stop bringing children to drag shows” 😂 DragCon for example, it’s safe for children

    • @okkietrooy6841
      @okkietrooy6841 Год назад +20

      @@TheRoger2244 I understand that not every drag show is suited for children. I would also not let children attend adult dance shows. If I had young children I would hesitate to bring them to certain pop music shows.
      In my previous post I was more referring to the accusations of grooming and the confusing children part. There is no reason to by definition stop drag queens reading stories in the library or dragshows in a club as long as it is clear if the show is nof for children.

    I first saw Rupaul on MTV at my Aunts house in 2014. I was 10 yrs old. I then began asking more about Rupaul until I was shown RPDR, age 10 as well. Since the age of 10 I’ve come to appreciate other cultures for beauty and way of life. I appreciate the perspective Ru gifted me as a child. Drag has been around since The Shakespearean Era and is just one of MANY forms of Art & Theater.

I had to make do with the criminalized "Kiss of the Spider Woman, and the physically abusive "Crying Game". I want to remind this rainbow family that a rising tide lifts ALL boats, and we're not done with our struggle till every human sees the support we have claimed. Revel in our victories and be heartened in our resistance.

    If you're upset about kids seeing sexually charged performances, then don't take them to a sexually charged performance. It's not rocket surgery. Not all drag shows are sexually charged. The Super Bowl half-time show can be raunchier than drag shows for cryin out loud!
