That's republican 'small' government for ya. The only good government is the one that they agree with, if they don't then it's personal rights, unless they disagree with that too.
Basically, they were all the kid that took their ball and went home when they were losing. I'd call it hypocrisy if they ever actually stood one way or the other, lol.

You’re gonna have to take the L on this one, BigShawn. People get understandably riled up when there’s a concentrated campaign to eliminate their way of life.
It’s okay if drag isn’t for you, it’s not my cup of tea either. But the way you handle that is… not going to drag shows. Not banning them.

Rule 1: Please refrain from personal attacks, and keep discussion civil.

^ This is someone who has no idea what a drag show is outside what they've heard gossiped on conservative media
I've never seen anything more sexual at a drag show than I've seen at school talent shows and football games when I was in middle school.
What you see at a drag show is people doing silly music videos dressed as showy women. It's not just harmless but healthy for a kid to see.
Odds are there will be kids in any middle school class that start realizing they don't feel like everyone else does w/r/t their gender. Is it so bad that those kids and their peers know they can still be normal happy people and there's places for them in this world?
Kids don't learn to be attracted to the opposite sex from theater and media, they get flooded with hormones in puberty and it changes them unexpectedly. What they've seen in media and culture up to that point just determines whether they feel like they're still normal or like they're deviant/broken after that.
Kids see men dressed masculine, they see women dressed feminine, they see women dancing provocatively, they see love stories where men and women kiss and get married and start families. You don't hear any of that ever likened to pornography—it's only when those representations might help a queer kid feel like they fit into society too that it becomes inappropriate

Why even stay in this area? Austin, TX could use a professional franchise.

You do realize that equating drag to porn is incredibly insulting right? It’s not just you getting offended.
But that’s besides the point. I’m honestly curious how you compare drag to porn. Cheerleaders dress insanely provocatively in their performances. Are they pornstars too? Should we ban children from sporting events? I don’t think we should, but I also don’t think the government should ban drag either. What’s your take?

You’re equating drag queens to porn stars and then getting annoyed when people call you out on it? Just don’t make wildly exaggerated comments if you don’t want people to tell you how ridiculous your wildly exaggerated comments are.
If the basis of your argument relies on you wildly exaggerating what you’re arguing about to make your point then your point is wrong.

Here we go. Can you really not have a disagreement without insulting someone?

They ignored covid protocols that didn’t work anyway, so they deserve to be burned to the ground!
Reddit is ridiculous.

You're equating drag performers with porn stars now?
Good grief...

First, yes. Someone's job doesn't make them a bad person.
Secondly, porn stars and drag queens aren't equivalent at all. Do you know what you're arguing against? Have you ever been to a drag show?
