It's heartbreaking to watch what's happening to the LGBTQ2S+ community south of the border. Seems to be a spiraling deterioration of tolerance and acceptance (it was always there to some extent but seems to be getting worse). Misinformation and right-wing populism are creating a real threat scenario for people who identify in that community.

One is protesting/intimidating the government. The other is intimidating private citizens. You don't see the difference in that?
If you don't think that some of the characters at Coutts or Ottawa would do the same thing to individuals you're living in an alternate reality. In fact, there was massive intimidation and threats against citizens during the Ottawa occupation.
Why does everyone think getting children together with drag queens is so important? Drag is sexually aggressive and grotesque to an extreme degree, that's what makes it so much fun. Who even thinks of combining the two? Who was at a drag show and said to themselves "we need more children in here"?

It's not something important to me, which is why I wouldn't show up at one of these events in my camo and AR-15. That'd be weird.
It does seem to be important to other people, though. If I had a brother or close friend or something and they enjoyed putting on a show for kids and reading them stories, I would support them, though. I think it's reasonable to assume they're not going to spreading their ass cheeks and grinding their butthole on kids' noses. Doubt they're slapping their boners against kids' faces, too. Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying about "sexually aggressive"?
I mean, dudes dressing up as flamboyant chicks goes back to Shakespearean times and earlier, I'm sure. Some people really enjoy it as entertainment. I've never been, but I'm not a live-theater guy, anyway, so not my bag. Which, again, is why I wouldn't grab my gun collection and head over there to stop things.
IDK, just leave people the fata alone and let them do their thing. Literally none of your business.

I mean, I think matata's response to that would be clowns aren't aggressive and there is no sex or gender component, so not super sure what you're saying here.
Social conservatives love the idea of freedom for everyone, except when it involves things that make them uncomfortable and they wouldn't personally opt into it themselves. Then it becomes 'do as we say".

The British, we have been putting on drag shows for kids for a century, it is a cherished tradition that was born in the musical halls, my question would be why would anyone care that maybe a couple of hundred kids at most in the whole country who's parents are clearly fully LGBQT sypathetic anyway go have a story read to them?

Probably best to pretend a diverse range of people don't exist, and shield your children form them until they turn 18. Then they'll be fearful of what is different, and go protest with guns any time they see them doing something they aren't comfortable with. Stellar system working well so far.

I remember how it all started now, this beauty, with her crown of used tampons, was invited to Michelle Obama's library to read to children:
Can someone put me in my place by showing a demonic clown with some form of a used tampon prop reading to children in a politicians library?
Nobody needs to be assigned the task of putting you in your place.
Just don't worry about it. Don't even think about it. The world will keep turning and nothing bad happens if you don't even consider what the right-wing media has decided to get you all excited about. Move on as though this isn't even happening because it just. doesn't. matter.

This is not a new thing here. I live in a politically middle of the road American city, and Drag shows or Drag Queen story hour are pretty common in both LBGTQ+ bars and mainstream venues without much push back at all. This seems like something that has been accepted for decades. I can't imagine these protesters and terrorists represent even a measurable percentage of the general public, but have become very emboldened and nutty all of a sudden.
Yeah I don't know. The wife and myself are vocal/public supporters of the LGBTQ+ community, locally and in general.
We are also huge fans of the art of Drag.
These are entirely different things, imo.
It should be perfectly fine to have drag storytime for children. But I don't really see the value in it, knowing it will incite this sort of response.
Protestors getting shows/ performances cancelled has become a "thing" in the US. Intimidation and threats towards those you don't agree with happening on all sides. Antifa gets Gavin McInnes run out of Penn State, Man boys in cammo intimidating cross dressing story time in Ohio. Fair is fair I guess?? One could simply choose to ignore whatever it is you don't agree with and let others be, however this is 2022.

You realize Gavin McInnes is literally the guy who started the Proud Boys movement, right?

Yes, one group rallying to prevent hate is the same thing as another group rallying out of pure hatred. Both sides, equality for all free speech yadda ####ing yadda. So goddamn tiresome.

Pretty incredible how in one breath you are screaming from the roof tops the dangers of governments colluding with private enterprise to stifle free speech then miraculously you can hand wave away a group of psychos with AR-15s ensuring that some people cannot sit in a room and read a book in safety.
