I have no problem with drag. Where I start to have a BIG problem is when kids are dragged (lol) into it. In the us drag shows, at least I feel, are more adult oriented, and when you start showing kids something that they are clearly uncomfortable with and shouldn't even have been shown to begin with. That's where I draw the line. Keep it to adult only places, not schools and libraries where kids can be exposed to it.
Pantomimes with people in drag has existed well before any of this fake social outrage has occurred. When I was a kid I watched Pantomimes. I left thinking "wow that was funny" it wasn't anything sexual at all.
It's literally just comedy, that is all it is.
Same with Dame Edna on nightly game shows. I never saw it as anything sexual, a kid literally won't unless you're out here describing in graphic detail what a male and a female sex organ looks like, a kid isn't going to know or even care. Most kids just see someone who is different and goes about their own business playing and having fun, do they sometimes ask questions? Sure, do you need to answer and explain in graphic detail? No, that's on you if you do, not drag performers.
You would benefit from reading the post by @gundog48 above. In the UK, drag is often something for families. It doesn't have to be and often is not sexual.

I really, really hate that 98% of our voting population formulates their worldview solely based on the nightly news broadcast that they watch. We'd be in such better shape of we could get either flavor of partisan to care half as much about their own economic power as they do about social issues, and more economic power would translate to more social power.
<3 Seeeee??? This is what I'm hear for. Haha. Thanks for such a lively debate! Carry on...

Many people such as women and trans women find drag to be offensive. Why bring it into the work place?
Why can't we have pornstars "performance" at work instead of this shit is the real question. Why would anyone care what drag queens, Queers or gay people do anyways, and why should it be done in public eye at all?
Im guessing you came over after we defederated from exploding heads?
Glad this bigots comment got removed

Oh wait, they don't. You just didn't read the article.

..featuring popular performer “Peaches Christ..”
There is is a difference between being edgy and...whatever that name is an attempt to project. I love people. All people. Couldn’t give a rat’s ass if you want to cross dress or sleep with your own gender. So, how about we drop the attempts to make a name for ourselves -with the intention of getting under people’s skin. Google did the right thing here, IMHO.
So let me expand on this. I, myself, am not ‘sensitive’. However, I am keenly aware that the weaker in faith may be.
There exists (on both sides) a host of those who have no ability to lead with love - and resort to ruling with the rod.
Get some perspective. The people who do horrific things in the name of (insert god’s name here) are just the proverbial ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’. Attack the awful person(s) - not the faith that they attempt to shame.
Giving people a taste of their own medicine is an aggressive approach. I was just suggesting that if you want dialogue - and not dumpster fire - be respectful to each other.
