    I’ve been to many. No, I wouldn’t take my child to one.

    What’s fine for adults, isn’t always fine for children.

        Never said I was an ex-cop

        Interesting you’d openly lie. I said quite the opposite about black people. I even cited the statistics.

        Weird your lie when it’s there for people to read

      Then you’ve only been to one type. There are family friendly shows that are no different content wise from taking your kid to see a face character actor at Disneyland.

        Normally we attend them at gay clubs where heavy drinking is involved. It’s adult entertainment and why I wouldn’t take my child. Just like I wouldn’t take my kid to a strip club.

        A good friend of mine is a drag performer. He wouldn’t take his children either.

        Not everything is a child event nor should it be.

          …right… Who’s taking their kids to bars? Anyone that takes their kid to a bar is a moron and probably shouldn’t be allowed to have a kid anyway.

          It’s pathetic how lax America is with kids and alcohol. Yet they ban inconspicuous indoor medical grows from towns to save the kids from weed. America’s dead …it’s a lost cause.

            Bingo. All the people downvoting are stating they’d take their kids to a drunken bar at 2am. That’s why laws get creates because some people don’t have common sense.

                I didn’t speak to those as those are more recent and stated my opinion already on it. It isn’t something I’d take my child to but people should be free to raise their child as they see fit.

            Doesn’t America have like, the highest drinking age in the West?

              I hadn’t heard that, but it wouldn’t shock me. I always thought the drinking age should be 16 and the driving age should be 18. That gives kids two years to understand what being impaired from drinking means before ever getting behind the wheel of a car.

          “I’ve only been to explicitly adult shows which is why I think they’re adult shows”

          Of course if you only go to gay clubs with heavy drinking you’d think those shows are for adults. Because those shows ARE for adults.

              Not fun shows for adults. They do shows that are explicitly for kids or families. They don’t do sexual stuff at those shows and, believe it or not, kids like people in flamboyant outfits doing fun things like singing.

      I personally consider the violence contained in the Bible much worse for children than anything I’ve seen in a drag show, even the more “adult” ones.

      Then your kids would be missing out. Imagine sitting in the audience in a library with a bunch of children running around laughing. There’s an actor in front, in costume, reading from a book, and acting it out as he goes. He does the voices perfectly, and you hear laughter from the kids, knows when to pause for dramatic effect, and even does a sudden movement/loud voice to initiate an age appropriate jump scare that has the kids squealing with laughter.

      But that’s just the one I took my kids to. I don’t know what else they’re like
