You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

You are so off the mark yet still try to muddy the waters talking "but his father said this and that". All your argument stands on what another person said. While we did not know some things on the day one, which prompted you to your anti right crusade, enough is known now to see how stupid this reasoning really is. Yet you still insist.

Things like that father played zero role in shooter's life, was hardly any role model or influenced his actions. On the contrary, shooters identified as LGBTQ and he even changed his name so he will not be associated with him.

And you still try to push this like his father was some hero for him and he did what he did because of him.

Pathetic. Next time try to wait few days before you try to exploit some tragedy for your own political agenda.

To call this person artist and that show as entertainment claiming it is normal and appropriate for children show exactly how delusional modern left is.

NY post stirring sh1te. So, what about this part (part of the advertising for that show):

"“If you would not allow your children to see a Rated R movie or watch TV-MA programming, this is not the event for them. Minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.”

Seems like the child's parents were o.k. with it, why aren't you? Their child, their choice.

Just a bunch of pearl clutching. My guess is some "texas pol" put the child's parents up to it. As always, threats to the first amendment coming from the right in the US.

Do your pearls rattle harder if you clutch them more closely? I mean, blame the parents here, not the organizers who were perfectly clear about what was going to happen - one of the images shows another adult in the room laughing, so clearly some people (ugh!) enjoyed it.

What's particularly nasty is that this private event is being used to justify legislation reducing freedom of speech, but this, of course, Texas no surprises there, the people of that state are into government diktat.

Fine, so take the children away if their parents are so massively indifferent to their conditions. Remember, the parent had to accompany the child and saw fit to stay through the program (at least, we're led to believe that, don't know if any parents decided to leave early.)

And I'm still not seeing how a drag show is child abuse, have you got the text of the statute? Do you know if the jurisdiction in question has enabled their child protective services to take children away in these circumstances.

I've yet to see even one of them do the most basic thing when it comes to this stuff, saying that it's wrong. They seem literally incapable of it. You can't on one hand say that our community is being unfairly attacked by being labelled as groomers, then on the other never condemn any of these dubious acts.

this tells us a lot, that you wouldn’t find it acceptable. LMGTFY
