And thanks for avoiding my question about pre-banning drag queens from the pride event Alan. Your avoidance just confirmed what is blatantly obvious to anyone who actually gives a shit about trans people.

As an aside, I find it interesting that you conflate “ trans people” with “drag queens.” That seems…unwoke to me.Quote:

Not having any particular insight into the city's reasoning, I can only assume that they have no confidence in the drag groups willingness to observe the proposed restrictions. Do you have any insight as to why that may be?
I'm not sure what Ron DeSantis is doing to LGBTQ people, can you explain? I'm also not aware of anyone on this site expressing hate towards trans folks or drag queens, are you confusing our group with another site somewhere?Quote:

So you'd be ok if a city, say NYC, denied a permit for the St Patrick's Day parade if they cited the reason as being that they doubted the ability of Irish Americans to have a parade without getting drunk and breaking the law?Quote:

Anytime anyone has tried to explain a different perspective you simply mock them or tell them their perspective is irrelevant or "wrong" somehow.Quote:

When you do find a way to explain, please let me know. I'm curious.Quote:

If you can explain what is inappropriate for high school students (since the don't say gay law has now been expanded to include everyone up through high school) about the books we could maybe have a conversation.Quote:
