Federal judge temporarily halts Tennessee's 'drag ban' law on free speech grounds

Indeed they do. High tea and manicures: Drag queens take up residence at aged care home

You know what would be great? If having one of these questions answered means that someone would actually admit "hey, you're right, my objection was legitimate but now that it has been answered, I'm OK with the situation". But we never seem to read that. Instead, it's throw out one anti-factual objection, then when that is corrected, jump on to the next one. Almost as if these posts are hiding the real reasons for the opinions expressed in them.

Makes it hard to take any of them all that seriously.

If you're answering a question with a question, I guess I will assume that you don't know why these guys seem to read only to children, either.

Likely because the adults they volunteer with can read on their own?

 

[KCfromNC]

Awesome. Now let's ask why the media focus on drag queens at schools. Is it because it's a new phenomena?

It is not.
You'd have to ask far-right "news" sources why they're currently so very focused on what this group is doing rather than actual news, though.

You know how Jesus never tried to pretend He was someone else and Santa always is Santa

Uh, I hate to break it to you, but those people dressed up as Santa in malls?

Spoiler

Not actually the real Santa Claus.

The bottom line here is the drive to change what's inappropriate for children into being appropriate.

Can you expand on this what. What is this what, exactly?

Because from all the other posts trying to get to the reason falling flat, it really seems like the what is "something I don't like". And that's a pretty weak argument for canceling free speech. Interestingly enough, the judge mentioned in the OP felt the same way.

Yep make it seem as innocuous as possible. That's their goal.

Your saying guys who dress up as father Christmas are doing it to innocuously as possible sexual kids?

You know how Jesus never tried to pretend He was someone else and Santa always is Santa but men dressing like women, we're supposed to be okay with that like wolves in sheeps clothing. We're not supposed to ask questions - just accept and look away while our kids are left behind.

Comparing Jesus to drag queens is sickening. Why is it allowed on a Christian forum?

Why are we still allowing people to dress as Santa to be around the children?

Because it's Santa....?

Exactly my point!

Interesting - that works both ways.

SURE, of course that's the reason! Silly us for not spotting the obvious!

It's gross and degenerate. How plainly do you want or need it said? We see through the pretense of it all, we are calling it out, we don't accept it and we don't care that society is trying to normalize it because it is not normal.

What's with all the entrapment questions? Is this like a Columbo attempt?

Is this thread spent now? It's like a bad comedy skit where we all have to watch people go around and around on a stage acting like they can't hear when they get yelled at and making us pretend it's funny for sympathy for the bad actors.

YAWN.

No

What works both ways?

No

Then you have no idea what I actually said. You remain uninformed,

 

[YorkieGal]

News focus versus actual news.

Yes. Even the most obvious real explanation does cut through far right propaganda.

I appreciate the honesty. It isn't about anything in particular other than a vague feeling it is icky. Got it.

That's a terrific reason for people to not bring their own kids to it.

Unfortunately, though, a terrible reason for trying to ban it for other people. Which is probably why we get pages of pages of nonsensical made up reasons rather than the truth.

News focus versus actual news.

Pretty sure the people putting on drag queen story hour aren't claiming that their performance is "actual news", so I'm not sure I get the point here.
