This editor just finished a post on CNN’s epic-length piece consulting drag scholars and historians about America’s rich history of drag shows, arguing that this history might prevent current efforts to push drag “underground”; i.e., away from children.
Liberals like to play deaf: They opposed the “Don’t Say Gay” law that kept sex education out of kindergarten classes. They’re all for “all-ages” drag shows and “drag camp” for kids. They want minors to be able to consent to “gender-affirming care” that alters their bodies for life. It’s the children, stupid.
We wish we knew this representative’s name, but here she is in Colorado arguing against a House bill setting the penalty for indecent exposure “in view of minors.” Once more for the hard of hearing: “in view of minors.” She claims bills like this have been used to target drag shows and keep biological males out of women’s bathrooms.
BREAKING: 27 Democrats in the Colorado House of Reps just voted against making indecent exposure to minors a class 6 felony.
One Democrat said that the bill “targets” drag shows and the transgender community.

Here’s the bill summary:
Under current law, indecent exposure is a class 1 misdemeanor; except that it is a class 6 felony for a third or subsequent offense. The bill makes indecent exposure a class 6 felony if committed in view of a person who is under 18 years of age.
All it does is clarify the penalty for indecent exposure in front of minors. And Democrats oppose this.
Indecent community hardest hit

So they admit they want to expose themselves to kids?

Maybe stop letting adults expose themselves to kids?

Yes, because if you support this, you are the problem. It's a 13-year-old child. pic.twitter.com/T6Fs5ivxF7

We have these laws for a reason. Unfortunately, recently there have been instances where this exposure has happened with children in attendance. There's a reason this bill was introduced.

Do these people even know what they’re saying at this point?

This shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but a moral one. How does one vote against this and actually think they are making a good decision?

Claiming that protecting children is an attack on a specific community is very telling.

Ironically calling transgenders pedophiles.

If they feel targeted by a bill aiming to crack down on indecent exposure, that might say more about them than about the bill.

Sounds like some good questions to ask in future political debates. People should know where politicians take sides.

They want no guardrails when it comes to children. This is how much they hate them.
— miss eddie (@sea5) April 29, 2023
They don’t hate the children. They hate their parents and wish to supplant them.
It targets drag queens twerking in front of children, not drag shows for adults. Democrats are pedophiles and groomers and they prove this every single day they don't protect our children.

So what if it does "target" them? They are the perpetrators.
— MichiganRocks (@michigan4season) April 29, 2023
So by saying the bill targets drag shows and transgender, they’re admitting that these people like to expose themselves to children and that they want to get away with it.
— LadyBC (@ebc2017ebc) April 29, 2023
It wouldn't target them if they didn't do it. Anyone that is perverted enough to expose themselves to children has something wrong in their head. Just let kids be kids and leave them the F alone.

Passing this bill would provide a stronger deterrent for adults to expose themselves in front of minors … and that’s bad.
Watching Democrats go all-in on drag shows and trans with all their furious energy and earnestness is really something. https://t.co/oZv9KKUsqk
