How absolutely disgusting. But yes, no surprise. I hope she at least gets dragged through the courts for all she's worth.

Not surprising at all. That is how the right plays.
Not one of the trumper peas that have been posting lately will comment on this even though they've been very vocal about how these shows are poisoning our children. Their silence on this, which is sure to follow, shows how little anyone should pay attention to anything that they post.

Im glad she has been exposed but my MIL saw it and was just shocked and now thinks all drag shows are sex shows unlike the ones of past. She thinks they should be banned now. The thing is parents choose to take them. Guess she thinks libraries and schools are pushing that type of show as well. I just don’t get it for those that are for freedom they want to ban stuff. There is a drag brunch in our area but it’s adults only. We haven’t been as the menu didn’t have anything my husband would eat but I am curious. Obviously the type of show depicted in the video which I haven’t seen was inappropriate for kids. |

And yet locally, not one, but two male teachers at a local Catholic high school have been charged with having sexual relationships with a total of 4 female students. Not a drag queen in sight (insert sarcasm here.).

This is an argument I have with my MIL on a weekly basis. She is constantly trying to tell me they are all pedophiles and yet she can't come up with one arrest to prove her point.

I’m waiting for an expose (ha) on the naked bikers in a pride parade supposedly displaying themselves to children. Likely fake as well. To be clear, I think those things are firmly on the parents who took the kids to the event, but for all the outrage it’s caused online, I doubt now that it even happened. They have to manufacture stuff to keep their base engaged. |

It never ceases to amaze me that people can get hung up on the dumbest things while ignoring more pressing issues like this. Kids breathing this on a regular basis can do more long term damage to them then watching a bunch of men parading around a stage dressed up as women.
If parents have problems with drag queens then don’t take their kids to places where they are. It’s that simple. And if parents do decide to let kids see programs that include drag queens then the moral busybodies need to shut up and sit down unless they want others deciding what their kids can or cannot see.

I think that morecowbell has me on block, so won’t get the tag, but she was one of those who most doggedly argued for the veracity of the offending video. It would be great if she visited the thread and admitted that she was hoodwinked along with the outraged conservative right. |

It just wouldn't occur to them, besides that some of those drag queens are frightening, in a "clowns scare me" sort of way. Manufacturing outrage is all that party does now. |

He was one of the best teachers I had had. I switched schools but he molested a couple of girls the next year. He had been accused of it and the church knew about it when he was hired. He was convicted and spent time in jail the second time. I went to a Christian high school and one of the teachers married a student the year after I graduated. He was sleeping with her before she graduated. It seems to be way too common. |

I had a long car ride with my 81 year old mom last week. We got on the subject of book banning and she brought up how kindergarteners were being taught inappropriate things about sex through the books in their classroom. I told her that no one is teaching kindergarteners about sex because it is developmentally inappropriate. She swears it is true because some woman on the news showed the book at a board meeting...on the news. I asked which news channel. I'll give you three guesses (and the first two don't count) which one.
I'm just so disappointed that my smart, logical parents have allowed themselves to fall victim to the propaganda from Fox. I don't think they can get past the idea that if it is on a "news show," it is the truth.
They'd totally believe the phony drag show footage. It breaks my heart.

This happened in the late 70’s and 80’s so it’s been going on for a long time. They just try to ignore it. |

I don't think they can get past the idea that if it is on a "news show," it is the truth. They'd totally believe the phony drag show footage. It breaks my heart. . We have this issue here. People really think they are teaching it in k-5. If they acknowledge that some families are different they are teaching sex. I saw the rundown of what was in all the books in question and it was nuts. There was nothing inappropriate but our district whose board is now mostly church members from a church that most agree is a cult refuses to allow these books and now our district won’t have social studies books and will be out of compliance and be fined. So our small district stands to lose millions and they have already spent tens of thousands for their expert lawyers and outside consultants plus fired an excellent superintendent. Elections have consequences and most voters didn’t listen nor did they vote for school board members. They are trying to get them recalled but that takes time. We had award winning schools. I am so glad my son has already graduated but I feel for those with children that have to deal with this. |

When I am wrong I do come back and say so. I've done so several times here. So, quit acting like I'm not going to say anything if I find out something different. That's not a thing I do.
If she fabricated her story about this mom, that's disgusting. I don't know who she is. I didn't provide links from her or her story about that mom.
I did provide links from journalist Andy Ngo and also Taylor Hansen, one of which, showed the drag queen show itself, advertised the show with "all ages welcome, *contains adult content" all on the same line.
How is it that the part in the story about kids being present for adult content had to be fabricated when the show promoters themselves, said it was so.
If she did lie about it, I don't support that and I hope that mom drags her to court and she is sued into oblivion.
For the record I don't have anyone blocked. That's also not a thing I do. I want to hear all sides.

Does she have a go fund me to fund her lawsuit for the slanderous video they faked about her that will make her career more challenging? Because I’ll donate to it.

I think the takeaway from this is that any of this can be fabricated. This woman has admitted that she fabricated her video and that she’s not sorry about it. That’s why it’s so important to consider the reliability of the source and any agenda they might have when bringing a story. If it seems tailor made to support a negative view of someone, it needs extra scrutiny. Lest you think I’m suggesting otherwise, this happens on the left, too. People fabricate “truths” by Trump that are so far out of bounds that any rational person has to question their veracity. Someone recently fabricated a tweet by a right wing personality saying that he had sexual and violent feelings toward children. It’s fake. In the case you brought, faked videos are being used not only to demonize drag performers but to hurt individuals who simply attend the shows. I think we all agree that’s unacceptable. LGBTQ are being targeted with violence because of this fake narrative that they’re “grooming” kids. Always, always, consider your source. |

She is a very smart lady and was always open minded raising me. Now she believes every line/lie that network spouts. It is so frustrating and heart-breaking. We have had more disagreements in the last 6 years than my entire 60 years. |

What a pig. In other news, this mom would be $#*tting herself to know that drag queen/top selling Tupperware representative Dixie Longate did TWO fundraisers for our high school band. Dixie lives in our area and does fundraisers for local charities when she’s not touring. She’s hilarious and it really is a Tupperware party. We certainly must protect our children from such monsters. 🙄 Go see her if she comes to your town. www.dixielongate.com/ |

Gonzales recorded people without their permission, spliced the video with others to be misleading, did not refute that claim when given the opportunity (which is tantamount to an admission of guilt, especially when paired with the covert nature of everything she did and her stated intention to take down “the left.”) And she’s not sorry for causing an innocent woman to be harassed and vilified, which tells you pretty much everything you need to know about her character. |
