The Real Story Behind Drag Queen Story Hour

Poor Richard Saunders said:
The truth? Since when is an opinion piece that cherry picks from other writers the truth?
Mr Rufo claims drag came about in 1896 from a freed black man. While Swann may be one of the first drag queens arrested, Rufo ignores much of the history of drag.

Let's go to one source that Mr Rufo leans on but only takes what supports his thesis.

Mr Rufo seems to skip over the fact that drag was in the mainstream for a long time in an attempt to denigrate it as homoerotic instead of as bawdy performers that entertained children and adults.

Then Mr Rufo completely ignores the closing of the article he misrepresents.


Then Mr Rufo completely ignores the purpose of "queering the child's innocence" which is an attempt to reduce suicide in queer children by "the amount of interference in young lives that aimed to straighten out their future."

If anything Mr Rufo seems to be confirming Eve Sedgwick's statement in her 1991 essay. “It’s always open season on gay kids,”

So your reasoning is it's "just" bawdy.

You really need to look up the words "bawdy" and "bawdiness".

Clearly, it is all Sexual.

So in other words you're a Luke warm piece of shit that can't put in enough effort to oppose it or support it but you felt compelled to tell us you're bored. Your lazy AND simple minded. No wonder shit like this gets advanced.

Indeed.

I made an argument with sources, that included the sources your opinion author did. You just acted like a child and didn't refute anything I pointed out.

An "argument"?

You just found a couple of pro gay publications and posted a couple of quotes.

I looked into both sources, Salmangundi Magazine and Hannah Dyer.

Salmangundi is an ART MAGAZINE published by Skidmore College, a far left and very liberal institution for wealthy white kids.

That article you quoted from there, deals with nothing more than the visual aesthetics of transvestites vs drag queens.

Who cares? Has nothing to do with the issue of indoctrinating children.

The Hannah Dyer article does delve deeply into the subject of turning kids queer, but it's obvious she's all in favor of it.

I quote: "...the related need to reimagine our theories of childhood so that they are not constrained by rhetorics of childhood innocence that invalidate the child’s potential queer desires."

Are you kidding me?

She's actually saying that childhood innocence is nothing more than rhetoric, which has no place in the minds of children, because it invalidates their queer desires!!!

Also, she proves the points made by the authors of the article I posted... that gays are going after the minds of children.

Fuck that sick-ass fruitcake shit!!!

Thanks for confirming that you people are all sick-minded perverts who want to go after children's minds and encourage them to grow up to be sexual deviants.

The point remains.... keep your gay mitts off of children!!!

It's laziness. He thought the Manhattan Institute sounded VERY IMPORTANT, and this guy is a FELLOW. Neither one means a fucking thing. What we do know about the author is that he is a hard right bigot. I would be embarrassed, but I don't think that's an emotion any of them feels. They simply plow through and stay the course. It's sublime. But it's part of the reason I'm here. I'm trying to at least understand how their brains work. It's fascinating. Every politician should have a gander at this cesspool so they understand what they are appealing to or fighting against.

I know a lot of Republicans. For one, I live in Texas, and you cannot throw a rock anywhere in this state without hitting a Republican in the head. [Geeko Sportivo]

So, of course, I have a lot of life long Republican friends here, that I grew up with, befriended with, worked with, etc. I think, I may be the only Democrat in my band as we speak. But, all of the Republican friends I have now, and the ones I have had through my lifetime, are all White people. We have Black friends and associates as well, of just about every race, creed, or color. I think we have all evolved to accept Diversity as a way of life.

Through the years, I have seen most of my Republican friends have a change in heart about race, and even the LGBTQ. We've never really had gay people within our immediate social circle, but we've all told Gay Jokes in the past, misogynist jokes, and even racial jokes amongst ourselves- at least when the wives weren't listening in. LOL

But, I can honestly say that has even changed, as I believe as we all got older, we just stopped with all of the sociably unacceptable humor period. We have even learned to not discuss much politics around each other out of respect for each other. We got too old to duke it out with each other when things reached a fevered pitch, and that used to happen all the time in our younger days together- literally. But, true friends never let a bloody nose stand in the way of our friendship. No, 10 minutes later we we were all friends again, like nothing ever happened.

We all agree that we do not want anyone teaching our grand kids or our own kids to be gay or transsexuals.

But even though my social group seems to accept gays now, it seems we are divided once again on just one issue- the idea that "Grooming Children to be Transsexuals" either exists or it doesn't.

Some of us believe it does, and some of us are not falling for the rhetoric, as we do not believe that is what is going on at all.

So, once again, we find ourselves arguing amongst ourselves again, over this silly notion, and it is uncomfortable to say the least, after my social group has come so far with the diversity thing. WE came so far and have now hit this stumbling block!

BUT, I WILL STAND FIRM AND SAY, NO ONE IS GROOMING CHILDREN TO BE GAY OR TRANSSEXUALS. NO ONE!

There is just no there there! And just because someone says it is, does not make it true.

Great post.

I also have strong ties to Texas. I still go to Dallas every few months to play in a poker game there. We all still get along, they call me 'that liberal Minnesota asshole', but it's said as a term of endearment. We haven't discussed this whole transgender nonsense. This bunch may not care, they aren't really Trumpers, they are more Chamber of Commerce types (I got into this game because one of the guys that worked for me lived next door to a Blockbuster VP). Anyway, to their credit, they have accepted me and even asked my opinion on a lot of topics. They joke that I'm a lab rat that they can study, but I'm cool with that. At least they are curious.

When minds get shut, it's tough. I'm in Florida, so I can relate.

That's the next group that will be championed by the left. They will become the next protected class, "minor attracted people". They can't help who they love. After that????? Maybe it will be people's "companion" which is the word PETA prefers over pet. They can't help what they love.
