I was skeptical of this claim so I went and had a look. Here's some of the posts I saw:
"Polar Ice Sheets are thicker than ever despite predictions that the Arctic and Antarctic would be βIce freeβ"
"Leftist Parents βFleeβ Florida Because Of New Laws Blocking Child Mutilation"
"Itβs strange how you never see pedophiles, im sorry, drag queens reading to old people instead of kids"
So yeah some pretty insane takes there
There are, btw, many drag queens who do in fact entertain the elderly. My grandmother's nursing home had one that came every Friday and was the best piano player I've ever seen in person.
Not to mention actual soldiers participating too!
As in South Pacific (my favorite musical) for example. (I'm not gay, i just like musicals ... and i'm not in drag right now neither ...)
Its different when its kids.
This isn't about kids, it's about hating gay and trans people. If it was about kids you'd be banning beauty pageants and child marriage, funny how you aren't doing any of that. It's all performative bullshit so you can have an excuse to attack trans people.
Not only that, but dude makes his claim riding on the back of the Republican party bringing back child labor and fighting to expand the disgusting practice of child marriage so Republicans can legally own and fuck children. Couple that with doing away with no fault divorce so your "property" is trapped.
Real big brain right here. Clearly thinking of the children.
Tell that to the churches, BY AND FAR the most abusive institutions to children in the entire history of the planet.
Churches and schools. I always see people mention church but they never mention that there is a huge issue in just about every type of school too.
Youth pastors need to be put in jail, but we should have way more mental health professionals around schools so they can pick out abusive relationships too.
I also should add, thayt all secondary behind blood family, care takers, and family friends. Drag queen readings are just about the only place where kids aren't regularly getting molested.
We don't actually give a shit about this in society, we know exactly where it happens most, in the home.
Need any buoys?
What, for the fact we have clear data where children are being abused and we just ignore it?
Kids get abused at home, at school, and at church. We don't give a shit about any of that societally.
I was referencing the 2 kids that were recently drowned in the death traps they installed in Texas on the border with Mexico.
Commenting how the types of folks making these comments seem to not care about abuse when the kids are a little darker than they would prefer.
That's totally fair. More then fair in fact. We're talking, or at least I'm talking about children living in the United States.
If you want to look at the source of child abuse world wide, then you look at war, famine, child labor, actual slavery (more slaves living now than ever before in history).
Again, drag queens don't make that list, nor do LGBT people in general. The people abusing the most children are their parents.
But in the US again, most people don't give a shit that children aren't just getting killed at that barrier, they die in the dessert by the dozens, maybe the hundreds, every fucking day. All they get is lip service.
I like the idea that Florida has introduced a progressive law. I think that's the most unrealistic claim of all.
Seems like pretty average takes to me. Yeah, the polar ice sheets thing is climate change denier garbage but nothing you won't hear when talking to certain people.
