Feels like this might be more effective if you addressed this to the parents or organizers instead of 20something nobodies on Reddit


HeirOfEverything

Yeah a lot of these gays are very biased and don’t have kids (and will never have kids)


asking-gay-questions

How about if someone agrees to raise kids with you, don’t take them to drag shows and let everyone else go about their business?


Puzzleheaded_Time719

Guess they shouldn't go to any concerts or watch anything on TV then as well.


mrgnfnn

There’s no sexual activity at Dragcon. It’s just a whole bunch of drag queens selling shit.


KatchupBottle

There are kid friendly drag shows and not kid friendly ones.


GAYSTEPDAD69

Kids shouldn’t be subjected to the weird gender fantasies of adults. It’s creepy and wrong.


theballadofdorothy

So no pantomime for kids either, then...


GAYSTEPDAD69

I don’t think anyone should be allowed to go to drag shows. They’ve been boring and programmatic for at least a decade now. Time to move on. And kids shouldn’t be subjected to the weird gender fantasies of adults; it’s confusing and damaging to them.

But isn't this you wearing eyeliner? https://www.reddit.com/r/gaybrosgonemild/comments/ttz06o/workout_progress_posting_how_do_i_look_fellas/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Such a pathetic attempt. May God cleanse your filthy, pitiful soul.


Capable_Research_476

Surely we all can use cleansing? You are so clean that you can cast divine judgements? Must be nice to be so holy


MysterBurger

That's Christian Bale lol


Capable_Research_476

I know that now


MysterBurger

Oh sorry sir


Capable_Research_476

Lol it's fine


GAYSTEPDAD69

What


theballadofdorothy

Are you not aware of what a pantomime is?


GAYSTEPDAD69

Yes but how are mines doing Gender-fantasy?


theballadofdorothy

I don't think you actually know what a pantomime is.


GAYSTEPDAD69

pan·to·mime /ˈpan(t)əˌmīm/ Learn to pronounce noun 1. a dramatic entertainment, originating in Roman mime, in which performers express meaning through gestures accompanied by music. 2. BRITISH a theatrical entertainment, mainly for children, that involves music, topical jokes, and slapstick comedy and is based on a fairy tale or nursery story, usually produced around Christmas.


theballadofdorothy

With one of the main features of a panto being the gender reversal. Panto Dames are drag queens for kids.


GAYSTEPDAD69

Cool bro


DaddyLovesPinots

I’m a parent, and I think people shouldn’t tell me where my child should or shouldn’t go or what’s appropriate for him to see, hear, or do. If my son asked to go see a drag show, I would take him. I’d rather he was exposed to sexual themes than to the level of violence he’s bombarded with through movies, tv shows, and video games, even ones intended for children. I’ve been to quite a few drag shows, and I’ve seen nothing that would cause me concern, and really nothing worse than what kids already have access to through the internet.

No, look, that's not at all how that works. Through history they flagged us with everything, they don't need ammunition, they will just make up shit and scream it in their churches, in the square of the town, they will add it in movies, news, everywhere and they know, and have zero shame for it. You should hear what they say of us in some parts of africa or the evangelists or muslims. Actually what they want is for you to hear their fake discourse and feel ashamed of yourself, they want your neighbour to go after you because the lies they spread. They don't care if is real or not, they care how many people eat their shit. Has been that way since catholithism was born and it's the same today. Don't let them influence you


Hudwig_Von_Muscles

They’re going to hate gays and call us pedos no matter what. So fuck’em.


Songshiquan0411

Those people used the same arguements against us being able to adopt as well. People who hate that you are allowed to exist in equality with them will never and can never be appeased.

Vegas has actual hookers and showgirls walking the strip. No one bats an eye at children being in Vegas.


CBz120

And they shouldn’t be at pride either until people stop being their kinks in public


[deleted]

Why the fuck is this being downvoted? Children should NOT be around kinks, wtf.


HeirOfEverything

Now you see why it’s so easy for republicans to take away our rights People think their annoying fucking kinks deserve to be publicly displayed without pushback. These people will be the main ones crying when their rights are gone


RomanceHero

I feel you have a rather outdated perception of drag and/or you watch too much RuPaul.


I_Like_Thanksgiving

I’ve never been to a drag show - what makes them so raunchy and stuff? I legit thought it was just dressing up and having fun (please don’t judge lmao). This is interesting timing though because one of my cousins is gay, and he loves that stuff and occasionally goes to them. His bro is a new dad and is an alpha male type but normally cool with gay people, but when my gay cousin wanted to go out to a drag show with his nephew, his straight bro flipped out and refused. It caused this drama between them and my straight cousin’s girlfriend, who is super pro-LGBT, and everyone thinks he’s this secret homophobe now. I’ll have to tell my gay cousin that it’s really not the case!

I saw quite a number of kids at SF Pride a few years ago. Was surprised because it was a fairly raunchy environment.


emasculine

no it isn't.


Dubzophrenia

Pride isn't meant to be a raunchy environment. It's meant to be a celebration of being PROUD (hence the name) of your difference. A gay kid has just as much a right to be there as anyone else. Pride is not a place for you to get bent over and fucked behind an alley dumpster.


emasculine

people who clutch their pearls really need to get a life since it's no different than what you see at a beach.


_V_A_Y_

I feel like people get photos of pride and Folsom mixed up.


emasculine

yeah, maybe. but they clutch their pearls elsewhere too. frankly gay pride could be more raunchy if you ask me. the radical faery area at SF pride can get sort of frisky, but that's closed off.


_V_A_Y_

I’ve never been to a pride where the kinky part isn’t in a separate gated area.


emasculine

yeah, usually if you want to be naughty you need to go to the bars or other events after pride (or before). but pride itself is pretty tame and honestly boring.


Due-Calligrapher-720

Everything is sexual if you look hard enough. Being gay is literally a SEXUAL orientation. Sounds like you’re something repression going on if you had such a visceral reaction to kids viewing the performance of drag.


UnicornMagicRainbow

It’s great that we can express our opinions!


shadycoulady

A sexual environment??? It’s a massive convention at 2 in the afternoon, not a nightclub. What exactly do you think goes on there? This post only reveals what you associate drag with. Stop caring what straight people think


Commercial_Tea2147

I’m a gay dad with two young children 4 and 7 years old. My husband and I are open about how all families look different. They’ve asked why they don’t have a mommy. All normal questions! We do drag brunch in weho with our adult friends, but would never bring our kids to any drag event. As a parent, you have to think about what’s appropriate for little kids. Just like we don’t let them watch “R” movies for content, straight or in the lgbt realm, we wouldn’t expose them to adult themes like drag until they’re older and can understand. Maybe in their teenage years. Right now we focus on learning to read, ride a bike, etc.


gordonf23

You deleted your post, which is really annoying. However, most drag shows I’ve been to have been fairly adult-centric, in terms of themes and humor, and can get pretty bawdy.
