    Drag shows are not inherently sexual, you simply have to look up pictures from the drag storytime events to see that.

    This judgement is correct not because it’s appropriate to take children to an adult drag show, but because the ban is overly broad and concerned more with demonizing drag performers and lgbt people than it is protecting children.

    Making the comparison to taking children to church is appropriate because if the people behind this ban genuinely believe that children should be banned from attending events which, to my knowledge, have not resulted in any forms of documented child abuse, then they should be doubly concerned about preventing children attending events that have a much more real possibility to lead to abuse. But that’s not their concern, and there’s no indication that it would be “next on their list”.
