There’s plenty of evidence nationwide, and in the UK that no, we cannot trust drag queens to put on an age-appropriate show. I put it down to the fact that so many of these men/women/persons in this community just are not around children often enough to know what is appropriate entertainment for a public family friendly event.
That said, I’m not sure a gay pride parade is a place I would expect to be entirely antiseptic. And it’s not the queens who are necessarily providing provocative parade entries because plenty of masc folks are out there Twerking dance moves in erotic gear.
Unfortunately, it is a toggle switch between “public performance” “and “private venue “ and because the flamboyant LGBTQI etc crowd did not keep their adult entertainment in adult -only venues, now we have this, a hard line.
They did it to themselves.
Crying because they can’t shake their booty in a public street…too bad, so sad.
Wow.
What do you mean? Perhaps you could, you know, use your words rather than the implied name calling.
Potentially of interest to some:

Imagine if a city said ‘nope. Not going to have a st Patrick’s day parade this year because we all know they just gonna get drunk and cause havoc.’ Or ‘nope. No Puerto rican day parade because they are just going to turn it into a gang event and start shooting the place up. ‘
But whatever. I get it. There are people on this board that think the damn drag queens should have stayed in the closet and the world would be a better place if stonewall hadn’t happened. Thankfully you aren’t in the majority in this country anymore and probably never will be again.
I'm pretty sure you're wrong about people on this board. I think it would be more accurate to say there are people on this board who believe drag queens, and everyone else, should limit their adult oriented presentations and activities to adult venues, not in the presence of children.
It's like your previous complaints about "book banning" in schools. If some of us on this board feel that some material should not be provided to minors without parental approval that doesn't mean we're in favor of banning books. A good rule of thumb for dealing with those materials might be that if a parent cannot read text from a book at a public school board meeting because it would be inappropriate in a public forum, or if your local newscast cannot air graphics from the book without violating FCC regulations, it probably also shouldn't be available to minors at school.
I think you're wrong about that too, your bubble is smaller than you think.Thankfully you aren’t in the majority in this country anymore and probably never will be again.

So you think that justifies people being pre-banned from the pride celebration based on what they might do?
I look forward to the inevitable upcoming arrests of drag queens at pride events for simply existing. I just hope the cops arresting them don't go all Derek Chauvin on them. The first amendment cases will be a good test of the attempts by people to take this country back to the bad old days when LGBTQ people had to cower in fear.
Apparently I have more faith in the American people than you do. Although after watching trump's sad infomercial last week on CNN you may be right. The people in that audience surely shook my confidence in the decency of Americans.
I'm sure you do look forward to an actual case of victimization taking place to justify all the made up victimization you talk about here, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

And I’m sure you look forward to Ron desantis ****ing over LGBTQ.people as best he can, just like other old people on this board that have been outspoken haters of trans folks and drag queens.
