    If I were to present you evidence of sexually explicit actions happening at a drag show in front of children would you change your mind?

      It would be immaterial, because that is already illegal and can be enforced using existing laws without resorting to a broad ban of a particular kind of performance art.

        Clarifications in law for grey areas are common. It’s very likely people will downplay any sexual activity, as has already happened.

      One time, no. Dozens of times, no I wouldn’t change my mind that it’s basically a non-issue, but I might believe that it’s something that actually happens amongst the hundreds of millions of people that exist in my country.

      You can find one example of the most insanely uncommon shit ever and it won’t mean it’s worth talking about for more than 30 seconds per year

        What if I found 5 examples? How many do I need before you’ll admit maybe I have a point?

          If I can go my entire life and see a handful of articles about something happening, I do not think it’s some sort of menace to society. Probably because I don’t have a hatred of the people involved bubbling underneath every thought I have concerning the issue.

          On January 6th alone I received 1000 times more proof I needed that Republicans are fucked up than decades have given me about trans people.

          I am confident you’re not canvassing the web with attacks against Republicans

      No. It wouldn’t. Because you’re a prude, and your definition of “sexually explicit actions” is almost certainly over-the-top pearl-clutching nonsense to me.

        Would you say simulating jerking off in front of children is a “sexually explicit action”

          I don’t give a fuck about your video of a drag performer in Essex pretending the microphone is a phallus. Prude elsewhere.
