Florida’s Governor apparently strikes again with "smaller government"…

If you take your kids to "drag shows”, he’ll sic Child Protective Services on you (I’m assuming gun shows and firing ranges are still okay).

From Dailymail:
Governor Ron DeSantis has threatened to deploy Florida's child protective services on parents who take their children to drag queen shows.

The Republican warned 'we have child protective statutes on the books' and 'laws against child endangerment' as he condemned footage of youngsters dancing with acts at a gay bar in Texas last weekend.

He said there appeared to be a 'concerted effort to be exposing kids more and more to things that are not age appropriate' and blasted the clip that showed a child in front of a sign that read 'it's not gonna lick itself'.

His comments follow others slamming a viral video of children at a 'drag your kids to Pride' event at Mr. Misster gay nightclub in Dallas.

The elementary-aged youngsters were recorded dancing with drag queens wearing skimpy thongs as well as handing over cash to them during the performance.

DeSantis' latest anti-woke offensive comes as he has continued to clash with progressives over issues surrounding 'sexual orientation' and 'genderidentity,' signing into law earlier this year a lawa parental rights bill that bans teachers from giving
classroom instruction - panned by the left as the 'Don't Say Gay Bill.'

The law has since spawned backlash from liberals across the globe, and even companies like Disney - whose premier amusement park, Disney Land, is situated in DeSantis' state - after customers and employees pressured brass to opposethe bill when it was passed earlier this year.

Leave it to DeSantis to create laws to defend Floridians from imaginary threats. The alleged incident supposedly took place in Dallas, Texas.

For starters, Andy Ngo, the guy who produced the video, is not a reliable source. He's the guy who produced all the doctored up videos, used by the conservative media to show the "devastation" in Seattle. He makes a living creating spliced up, out of context videos to be consumed by Trump's supporters.

I don't doubt there are irresponsible parents everywhere, but DeSantis is looking for "evil" only in one place.

Regular good ole fashion Christian strip clubs are still kosher in Florida and Texas.
@Northwest Exactly. And assuming such clubs are "adults only" like most are, that’s sufficient legislation for keeping kids out. This panic is specifically to demonize the LGBT community, and we knew that was coming.

When the governor has shut down all the 'drag shows', perhaps he should turn his attention to Christmas pantomimes and the malign influence of Widow Twanky 🤨

Damn it. There goes every Thursday night with the family.

Actually, there's a place down here - Hamburger Mary's (https://www.hamburgermarys.com/orlando/) - to which we take literally everyone who visits. It's a family-friendly (mostly) local spot with great food, games and the best drag queens in the state. Honestly, you haven't had all the fun you can have unless you've seen drag.

If I check, I guarantee they have family specials running right now just to mess with the King of DeSantistan.
@Graylight One of the men who lived in the commune with me was a dancer with the Trocadéro ballet when they had a show here for awhile. I got to see it and it was wonderful, and really nothing a child couldn’t see, with parental guidance.

Can we PLEASE just...
Graylight · 51-55, F
@LordShadowfire Just give us some lead time. There area a few worth saving.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Graylight I'll give you guys to the end of the year to get the good ones out of Florida. Does that work?

This kind of thing is responsible..

The first picture has the drag queen story teller exposing himself throughout most of the reading.
The second takes place in an adult club. Where " performers " taught 6 and 7 year olds to do the drag queen walk.. with a neon sign, its not gonna lick itself turned on behind the stage and comes complete with toddlers stuffing dollar bills in bikini bottoms..
My personal impression is that it's SICK.
not saying this is the norm.. but it shouldn't be happening at all..

The drag queen in the first photo won't be permitted to perform again and the school apologized.
@bijouxbroussard
Parents who bring their children to these shows are out of their minds
There's a big difference between raising a bigot and exposing children to adult sexuality...
The first guy should have been arrested for indecent exposure..
The second show should have been shut down..
Liberals don't help the cause of inclusion and acceptance
by making excuses for this garbage.

@Onestarlitnight I'm definitely not a liberal but I can absolutely make the case that these things are parental decisions. I don't want liberals telling conservative parents that religious education is brain washing nor do I want conservative parents telling liberals that comprehensive sex education is perversion. Let's let parents parent.
@Onestarlitnight Trust me, this is not a hill I’m ready to die on, and I said plainly that I wouldn’t take kids to drag shows. But I’m looking at the hypocrisy involved. There are laws that prevent children from being taken to strip shows, which also highlight adult sexuality. If such laws don’t already exist for drag shows, wouldn’t it be relatively simple to have them implemented ? As with strip shows, the responsibility would fall on the people holding such events—no minors allowed.
And yet I seem to recalled this from last year.


Why hasnt f*ckSantis even mentioned this one? Someone needs to drop some anonymous tips to have his house searched. Accusations are confessions after all.

DeSnotis will soon turn Florida into a non-secular State, that will be his next big thing, to try and somehow get out of the 1st Amendment and make Florida a Christian State, reinstate the signing of he National Anthem, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer in schools and enforce religious education for all children and this is the man who wants to become President... 😖 If I had any, I certainly wouldn't take my children to a drag show but I also don't think that this is being accurately portrayed, there's more to this story than appears.

I heard. It seems Rep. Anthony Sabatini has proposed a bill that would terminate the parental rights of an adult and charge them with a felony, if they take a child to a drag show. Sabatini says he is confident that DeSantis will support his bill.

I'm guessing that some drag shows are probably not what I'd consider appropriate for a child, but I also know there are far 'worse' things...to me, that those who'd support this bill condone exposing their children to.
@Piper Absolutely.

I hope Disney does go elsewhere. Anywhere other than Florida.

DeSantis gets the award for trying hardest to appeal to the lowest common denominator of the Republican Party. He is a o smart guy trying to act dumb to please the mouth breathers. And he hopes the more sane branch of the party Will support him over trump. But the knuckle drag germs might not be so easily fooled, they love their little trumpsie, he has proved his awfulness..

I wouldn't have allowed my kid to be in those situations. What adults do is different. I wouldn't probably attend either event. No interest.
@Tastyfrzz I personally don’t think it’s appropriate for kids, either. But it’s a parent’s decision, not the government. And considering that kids are being shot to death, that he’s focused on this is pretty ridiculous.

Hot take: Governor DeMentis is Florida Man's illegitimate offspring from that time he screwed a chimpanzee.
