We’ve always had rules like this.
Kids can’t go to bars, kids can’t go to nightclubs… we have some adults only places.

What IS being said that it's up to parents, and let's face it we are not talking about a 4 year old being able to attend an adult themed drag show....but a 17 year old may be more permissible....again UP TO THE PARENTS.
We never argued about this before because people weren't trying to legislate it and punish the artists for the decisions made by the parents.
'How many malls have stores like "Spencer's Gifts" you know that store SELLS vibrators and dildos as well as a variety of other sexually explicit items? Is Florida trying to ban Spencer's from malls or arresting parents that take their kids in the stores? No.

The article’s writer twisted shit not me…
And now, you’re twisting shit… not me. I said drag shows have been around forever. We were not advocating for kids to attend before this.
Wearing the clothing of the opposite gender is not what drag means. Every transgendered person or non-binary person dressed normally is not dressed up in drag. That was the definition of those who were trying to force gender norms onto people… not actual allies.
Kids aren’t fighting for their rights to dress up in drag. They’re fighting for their right to dress in the clothing they find most comfortable.
Stop putting this adult vs. adult bullshit onto kids and pretending that you’re helping them… you’re not.

From the article on "Screwdolph and the blushed nipples"
"Admission is limited to patrons 18 years of age or over, unless accompanied by a parent," reads a warning on the Fort Lauderdale event page. The Miami New Times reports the show contains off-color bits like "T*** in a Box" and "Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer."
This specifically states it is an ADULT show...and the drag show was not intended for minors. THUS ALL BLAME BELONGS TO THE PARENTS. The law in question would punish entertainers (even adult entertainers) for parents bringing their kids to the venue...Yet they are only doing this for ADULT themed Drag shows (not all drag is adult themed and those that are have age limits like the screwdolph show) . You think they will be enforcing this in regards to spring break or mardi gras activities? NO.
