Protect your children from these perverts, it's a grave responsibility.
Involving
kids in drag-queen shows is deviance, not Pride
The annual
Pride Month has gone from normalizing relations between consenting adults to
sexualizing children
A Pride
Month event at a Dallas gay bar sparked massive social-media outrage over the
weekend, after footage surfaced of children being invited to participate in a
drag-queen show.
The “Drag
the Kids to Pride” event, held at the Mr. Misster Dallas gay nightclub on
Saturday became the focus of media attention as conservatives protested outside
the club.
Parents brought
their kids along to the morning drag show, which featured men in drag outfits
dancing provocatively in front of an “It’s not gonna lick itself” sign. Kids
were invited to partake, dancing alongside the men.
Beyond
simply dressing up in women’s clothes, drag queens at the Dallas venue wore a
variety of skimpy outfits, including PVC bodysuits and lingerie. Kids attending
the event were exposed to stripper culture, encouraged by their parents to hand
out dollar bills to the twerking dancers.
An ad for the
event read, “Do you want to hit the stage with the queens? We have FIVE limited
spots for young performers to take the stage solo, or with a queen of their
choosing! Come hang out with the Queens and enjoy this unique pride experience,
fit for guests of all ages!”
The event
was held amid nationwide controversy over the normalization of sexual deviancy
around children, often celebrated as “inclusivity” by the alphabet brigade.
Robert
Bridge: As LGBTQ+ Pride Month kicks off, is it time to give straight folks
their parade too?
Pride Month,
which is held every year, has become an opportunity for the LGBTQIA+ activist
movement to push the envelope for the acceptance and normalization of more
debauched lifestyles, including “furries” and other forms of “kink.”
It’s the
result of a slippery slope. Originally conceived as a movement to legalize
same-sex unions, with slogans like “love is love” and “gay is good,” the
alphabet movement has quickly gone from normalizing relations between
consenting adults to imposing upon religious institutions by forcing churches
to officiate same-sex marriages – at least in the United States and Western
Europe. The movement has been subsequently hijacked to push ever more forms of
“inclusivity” for transgenderism and non-binary individuals, who have expressed
an open desire to “dismantle” cultural norms.
Initially
pushed by a small but extremely vocal minority of activists through NGOs like
GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign and Planned Parenthood, the movement has quickly
grown to subsume much of Washington, becoming a top-down affair and a priority
for the administration of US President Joe Biden.
Beyond
creating acceptance for various non-traditional lifestyles, the movement has
now expanded towards targeting children through school curricula and drag shows
hosted at public libraries and gay nightclubs, as well as an embrace of “trans
children” who identify as any number of gender identities.
A
recently-released Discovery+ show, titled “Generation Drag,” aims to promote
this lifestyle for children.
At an age
when kids cannot consent to sex, they should not be exposed to sexual acts and
displays of sexuality. Period. Drag, in general, is for adults. It always has
been – and even some leftists say that the push for tolerance and inclusivity
for every lifestyle under the sun is going too far.
Posting on
Twitter, popular YouTube commentator June Lapine, better known as Shoe0nHead.
stated that she did not like being “gaslit” into viewing such debauchery as
normal, instructing her fellow leftists to “stop being scared to point out that
the emperor has no clothes because you fear being called a reactionary.”
The left
isn’t the only group that needs to step up. Parents, too, need to be more
mindful of what their kids are exposed to. While the parents who attended the
event may be a lost cause, the protesters outside – who were few in number –
could benefit from having a larger presence, and the support of politicians,
who must step up to defend the values of their constituents.
It is the
duty of every adult to protect the most vulnerable members of society – the
children. Despite accusations of bigotry and concerns about cancel culture,
adults must step up and say “enough is enough.” It’s better to be called a
“bigot” than to allow groomers to ruin and corrupt the lives of children.

authNew law targeting 'LGBT propaganda' introduced in Russia
Proposed
fines for promoting non-traditional sexual relations could exceed $160,000
New law
targeting 'LGBT propaganda' introduced in Russia
Russian
lawmakers are considering a new law targeting "LGBT propaganda." It
would provide for fines of up to $160,000 for promoting non-traditional sexual
relations. The draft legislation was submitted to Russia’s State Duma on
Tuesday and is currently being reviewed by the state-building and legislation
committee.
It proposes
to amend an existing administrative law, which restricts information promoting,
what are regarded as, non-traditional sexual relations among minors. The new
law would pronounce parts of the old legislation obsolete and impose
administrative responsibility for LGBT messaging in general.
An
explanatory note attached to the document notes that “family, motherhood and
childhood in their traditional understanding, which comes from our ancestors,
are the values that ensure the continuous change of generations, act as a
condition for the preservation and development of a multinational people, and
therefore need special state protections.”
The bill
would introduce fines for propaganda aimed at “forming non-traditional sexual
attitudes, the attractiveness of non-traditional sexual relations, a distorted
idea of the social equivalence of traditional and non-traditional sexual
relations, and the imposition of information about non-traditional sexual
relations, causing interest in such relations.”
As long as
those actions do not constitute a criminal offense, it is proposed to introduce
fines for members of the public of between 40,000 and 50,000 rubles
($660-$830), and penalties of between 100,000 and 500,000 ($1,660-$8,300) for
officials. Legal entities could face fines of between one million and five
million rubles ($16,600-$83,000) or a suspension of activities for up to 90
days.
The
punishments would be more severe if the suspected violations were carried out
with the use of mass media or the internet, in which case the fines would range
from 100,000 and 500,000 rubles ($1,660- $8,300) for ordinary citizens, 500,000
to one million rubles ($8,300-$16,600) for officials, and up to 10 million
($166,000) for legal entities.
Foreign
citizens are also mentioned in the bill, as they could also face fines of
between 40,000 and 100,000 rubles ($660-$1,660) or from 100,000 to 500,000
($1,660- $8,300) if they use the internet for the promotion of such
relationships. Alternatively, foreign citizens or people without citizenship
could face a 15-day administrative arrest followed by expulsion from the
Russian Federation.
The bill’s
authors note that, while one of the key principles of a democratic state is the
reasonable protection of the rights of minorities, “at the same time, the
threats arising from the imposition of foreign standards that break the
generally accepted way of life in the field of family and marriage begs the
question about a need to protect the culture of the majority, including by
introducing additional legal regulation.”
It is also
noted that the draft legislation does not prohibit or condemn non-traditional
sexual values or public discussions on the topic in a “neutral context,” and
does not intend to infringe on personal freedoms and people’s rights to
determine their sexual orientation and express themselves in a legal manner.
