Drag story time at a library isn't sexually explicit.
Just because YOU become aroused at the sight of a man in a comically colored wig, makeup and frock doesn't mean that the rest of the world sees it that way.
That’s what I’m talking about. Where in the bill does it ban that?
Are you saying that you don't think the law would IMMEDIATELY be put to use by going after a restaurant hosting an all ages drag event or a drag story hour? Or do you agree that the intentionally vague wording is meant to provide cover for bigoted anti-trans crusaders?
Stop sea lioning.
I'm saying I'm ignorant of what the law says, and I want to know which part everyone is upset about. I suppose the vagueries around "lewd" and such can lead to bad faith applications.
I don't have a problem with drag story hour. But I have seen videos of sexual drag performances being performed in front of children, and sometimes by children. I don't think children should be exposed to that, in the same way they shouldn't be in beauty pageants and they shouldn't be shown porn.
Ugh that stupid comic has ruined online discussions. No one can ask for evidence or proof or simply why someone thinks something anymore without being accused of bad faith. Accusation of sea lioning is becoming its own logical fallacy.
