Latex is a very broad term that just means and emulsion of micro polymers in water.

Some latex comes from plants and at worst will cause allergic reactions. The synthetic ones have a pretty wide range of uses and chemical make ups. A lot are marketed as harmless, but a lot were invented in the past 10 years and haven't been fully studied for potential long term effects. Some are known carcinogens, allergens and "forever" chemicals.

The specific chemicals involved in this spill are butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate, which are synthetic organic compounds that are used in latex paint.

U gotta admit the Rs are smart. They have the left defending drag shows for kids when there’s no way in the world that’s a winning proposition for mainstream. They could get Trump elected just with this issue alone. Yea the Ds will feel morally correct and inclusive and self righteous; the .0001 percent that cares about Drag will like them, they’ll feel like they did something right because someone convinced them that drag is important to most gay people and it’s central to gay life when it’s not at all (I’m gay btw), but they’ll be wondering why 7-9 of the seats on the SC are conservative..because they fell for another trap and spent all their capital on another issue that’s hopelessly unpopular with the mainstream. 😂.

All while trying to spin it as an attack on drag when it’s clearly an attack on children participating in adult content and most people can see right through that. While dissing and talking down people that disagree with them.

I don’t understand and probally will never understand my fellow lgbts obsession with mainstreaming the culture🤷🏽‍♂️. I get the sharing of accounts, hospital visits and all that but….he best parts of being gay is the countercultural ness of it all. Why sanitize the art of drag to make it palatable for kids….like why even go there….why can’t it just be what it is, why can’t it be for us, adult and raunchy and funny. Ultimately, it parents want to take their kid to a show that’s on them….they should have a choice in that matter tho.
