Seattle museum summer camp teaches 12-year-olds 'the art of drag'

[Hammster]

What is any of that got to do with drag?

Depraved minds teaching kids, and even some who profess to be Christians think it’s okay.

"Apple is quietly mobilizing its vast resources to lobby against anti-LGBTQ legislation proliferating across the country — an unusual push by one of the world’s most valuable companies into a consequential political debate.

"The company, whose CEO, Tim Cook, is the nation’s most visible gay executive, has deployed its lobbyists to oppose legislation that limits protections for trans and gay people or their families in Iowa, Florida, Texas and at least six other states."

Apple wields its lobbying might against LGBTQ laws

What, exactly, is depraved about drag?

Haven't you heard? All men must wear suits and ties, and all women should wear dresses and stay in the kitchen. Anything else is perversion! Pure perversion, I tell you!

seems we have gone from "we just want to be accepted"(that is fair) to "we want to be equal"(that is fair) to "we want special rights"(not fair) to "we want special rights so we can convert everyone to be just like us"(not fair) AND "we want to start with your children."

So they are finally getting close to what Christians in America have been doing for decades. Just one more step. They have to be able to walk through your neighborhood ringing doorbells and disturbing people's peace and quiet!

Straight people can (and do) perform in Drag, too.

When I was a kid the expectation for ANY production of Peter Pan was that the lead would be performed by a young woman.

Now where was this when I was in a Rocky Horror Picture Show shadowcast!??!!

Only in Transylvania!

Wasn't Romeo and Juliet historically performed with a boy playing the part of Juliet?

Not just Romeo and Juliet. All players in the time of Shakespeare were men, so all female roles were played by boys in drag.

Drag is hardly new. Never watched Monty Python? All women’s roles in theater used to be performed by men. Kids have been dressing up as someone else for fun for ages.

My wife and I just watched "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". We were in tears! One of the best comedies we've ever seen.

In Drag, it's usually wigs. But why is Jesus generally depicted as having long hair, if it's so depraved?

Beats me.

 

[ottawak]

Beats me.

So why shouldn't men wear wigs to parody conventional gender norms?

On the way to somewhere while visiting my son who lives in the Seattle area, I said, "We better get a move on to beat the Sunday morning church traffic." My son replied, "Dad, this is Godless Seattle. Sunday morning church traffic is not going to be a problem." So there is one local's point of view.

 

[Ceallaigh]

Beats me.

Since Jesus was from Nazareth, it's supposed by some artists that he had long hair due to the Nazirite vow to not get a haircut.

When I typed "drag" into Google images, I didn't get that or Monty Python.

I got this:

He wasn’t a Nazarite.

Be more specific! And speaking of drag queens, a lot of people know Hugo Weaving as Elrond, V, Red Skull, Agent Smith... and as "Tick"
