Thanks! I wanted to clarify before giving my long ass opinion.Momto2boys973 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 5:05 pm That’s the thing: No.
The bill is talking about live shows that have a strong sexual content and therefore considered “adult live performances”. This has nothing to do with transgenderism, but because the bill was a response to a drag show that announced itself as a family event and yet had strong sexual content, progressives are making it about that. But this show was also banned for kids in Missouri, also had backlash in Tennessee and in Texas. This isn’t a Floridian war against transgenderism.

Based on this bill, if a restaurant hosted a drag Queen show where the participants are impersonating celebrities wearing ballroom gowns.
Would that be considered illegal and the business can lose their license?
I get both sides of the debate but I wasn’t sure if it’s drag shows in general or drag shows with adult content.
Oh and Sally, Bacon, Flo,Wellsare free to quote me if they disagree with what I am saying because I genuinely want opinions different than mine.
But to me, this is another both sides poking the bear problem. The problem I have with the bill, it was confusing to me because it’s worded in a way that is trolling the trans community instead of a general statement about adult content. You (general) can’t do that and expect not to be called a homophobe.
But on the other hand, “Screwdolph the nipple deer man” is an adult title and as a host you are responsible to make sure the content is age appropriate. That’s something the law shouldn’t have to tell an adult IMHO. You can’t name stuff like that that to push the envelope and wonder why you’re getting backlash.
I also understand that we want to be open minded but I have been involved with the mental health community a lot this last year and there are valid concerns in terms of what a child is exposed to and the development of their mental health.
We need to have those conversations in a manner that is respectful. Not calling people’s stuff “fake genitals” and acting like people are wrong for having an issue with exposing kids to skits with racy titles.
Both extremes are wrong IMHO and there needs to be a more reasonable base representing both the straight and LGBT communities.
But I agree with y’all on the title of that skit. Straight or gay..it’s inappropriate.
Am I being fair?
