Regarding the actual subject at hand, Why is Shemp so concerned with Drag Queens being accused of child molestations?

Well, if they’re not a drag queen, they must surely be trans, right?
Right? |

I guess he was providing tongue-in-cheek commentary on the hypocritical right-wing talking point of pre-emptively accusing drag performers of being sexual predators with no real evidence while ignoring actual evidenced predatory practices in institutions coddled by the same group---church, sports, etc.

You'd probably get a lot more hits if you included drag queens.

The richest man in South Dakota, who is probably not a drag queen, has been under investigation for years for having child porn on his computer, but nothing has been done.

A lot of child porn collectors are old rich white men.
A bloke who had been NZ's richest man for a number of years actually got sent to jail for it. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/cri...ldabuse-images He was never a drag queen either. |

I'm thinking of this guy (Ric Marshall):
https://www.news.com.au/national/sou...2e78d1a60e4a04 My parents were very keen for me to act for 'The Cottage Theatre' and Ric Marshall always played the 'dame' role in every pantomime he put on. I can't remember why I strongly didn't want to work with him, in hindsight, I think he was probably creepy. Personally, I don't think that pantomime qualifies as a drag queen performance, but I'm interested in the opinions of others. (i.e. Ric Marshall belongs in this thread in my opinion) |

Panto isn't a drag show, but I would say that some of the performers in panto are in drag.

Do we count Catholic priests as drag queens because they dress up in frocks? That might affect the list quite a bit.

That's the thing about these threads. I don't know what exactly about drag queens is more "sexual" as JoeMorgue once said, compared to other people and events.
It boils down to paranoia that children will "turn gay" upon seeing them. Maybe they should worry more about unwanted pregnancy after taking their tweens to football games featuring half-naked cheerleaders. |

Probable non-drag queen in the Texas legislature gives alcohol to, and has sex with, a 19-year-old member of his staff.
Texas House committee recommends expelling Rep. Bryan Slaton

I have a suspicion that, that is another one of those 'pantomime' traditions.
I've seen three different versions and the 'male' lead was played by a woman in all three. Google says: Principal Boys (think Aladdin, Jack and good old Dick Whittington) tend to be played by women, and the first ever principal boy role was played by an actress called Eliza Povey, who played Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk at Drury Lane in 1819. https://www.cambridgeartstheatre.com...ow-about-panto |

Here's a thought. Instead of worrying about types of people, you could come up with child safety risk management plans that would mitigate the chances anyone molesting children.

![]() There's a few operas that I like listening to, but in person, I found that I couldn't stretch my suspension of disbelief that far when watching a live performance. For example, a very large woman, in her fifties, playing the role of a 14 year old girl, with everyone dancing around exclaiming how young, slim and pretty she is... Much easier to just listen to the music. |

I think "drag queen" implies a great deal more than merely wearing female-appearing clothing. I think it requires attitude, flash, outrageous fashion, sassiness, and above all presence. Calling a cassocked priest a drag queen is like calling a golf cart a Formula 1 racecar: sure, they're both vehicles with wheels but nobody's going to mistake them for each other.

And here I thought this thread was supposed to be about pedos that are NOT drag queens. Apparently I was completely wrong about that, and this is actually a thread with which to mock the other thread, and not actually about the stated purpose at all. Sort of a collective, broad-scale call-out thread.

Amassing evidence of this kind is as close as one can get to proving the negative that pearl-clutchers insist on being provided before they agree criminalizing drag around children (or defacto 'drag or trans in public') is a bad idea.
And the mockery of that demand to prove a negative is very useful. Framing it as a 'call-out' thread is just a feeble attempt to leverage board rules to blunt the impact of the mockery. It's fine to mock unskeptical failures of reasoning. |

Like these people, presumably,, none of whom, as far as I know, are drag queens:
