There's several Shakespeare plays involving cross-dressing. So basically they're going to outlaw Shakespeare.

    They already banned Shakespeare in several schools for being too sexual.

    Republicans only care about Shakespeare, beethoven, and other such classical plays and music when they can use it as a dog whistle in order to imply an inherent criminality and inferiority present in Black Culture

    The longer the Americans focus their attention to the culture war, the less likely they pay attention to economic issues.

    Don’t let Republicans pretend they care about children while allowing them to get slaughtered in the classroom and raped at bible camp and forcing them to give birth,

    allowing them to get slaughtered in the classroom and raped at bible camp and forcing them to give birth,

    while restricting the books they can read.

    First things first.

    I drove through a tiny rural town, population 4300, in my province earlier this summer, which barely has enough people living there to support running a donut shop, let alone any sort of drag venue, and some idiot had signs at the end of his driveway saying "No more kids at drag shows!". I mean, it's literally the asshole of northern Ontario, a drag queen has never had a reason to go anywhere near there, he's obviously never left the town in his life, let alone seen a drag queen in person, and yet he paid to put up signs on his driveway people will mostly ignore about a subject that has nothing to do with him. Conservativism really is like a brain fever or something. The things they believe are so exquisitely stupid.

    Anyway, I love drag and want to marry Naomi Smalls, and I'm hopeful this psychotic legislation in the US all gets struck down.

    This feels so stupid. There are people out there that really want to ban such shows? It's an art like any other. What's next, ban street mimes? Make improv ilegal?

    I know of a judge who would be happy to disagree… once he’s back from his 5th vacation trip this month.

    You would essential have to outlaw all acting.
