Shut this **** down

Meh. They do it, they pay for it, 18+. Let em have their fun.

Surprised this is still happening now that USAID has been killed. That seemed to find all the debauchery.

I think this is fine. I'm not a fan of drag myself, but they're keeping it 18+. That's what we all wanted for this stuff.

I'd prefer it if it didn't have A&M attached to it

The biggest problem with all of this is people with your attitude that have "normalized" this type of behavior.

At least most of them actually go to school there. Unlike the religious doomsaying freaks always causing a ruckus around the Academic building.

TAMU is a public space. This event is self funded and organized by current students with age restrictions. Leave them be. Don't even think about it and you'll be fine, I promise.

That in bold tells me all I need to know about your attitudes and ideology. Too bad I somewhat respected your take on the Uke/Russian war.

Nice bigotry, just because someone has religious beliefs that go back as far as 3500 years, doesn't make them a freak. But your post says that they are and that drag is the norm. Especially cute given most societies in the last 1500 years have dismissed trans behaviors as mental illness.

Nice logic there.

perception is reality. yes tamu is a public school and part of the campus is open to the public, however that doesn't mean that all lewd and disgusting behavior should be allowed.

if they were not gay but straight and they wanted to display themselves sexually which is what does happen at these drag events would that be acceptable?

no you would be arrested. the only reason why people feel any of this should be tolerated is because sexual deviants have become part of a protected class.

is this not why they have strip clubs, gay clubs or whatever? because there are an actual places for this behavior and it is not in public on a school campus.

I guess I should be glad they're making it 18+

Kinda weird how these degenerates never go read at old folks homes

Just sayin

There are drag shows at retirement homes and senior centers all the time.

What do you think is actually going on at a drag show?

It's behind closed doors.
It's 18+

If there is something curious about where they're getting funding then that should be addressed.

There's what, 60,000+ undergrads on campus now? Plus probably another 20,000 or so grad students?
There are bound to be some "different" personalities. It's not the position of the school or the keyboard warriors on this board to regulate that behavior. They can and should regulate the time and place, ensure the safety of others that choose not to participate, and ensure that everything is done in accordance with university rules, state law, and federal law.

I wasn't a fan of Rocky Horror Picture Show sing/paly along shows that used to be hosted at the Grove when I was there. Bunch of weirdos in my book. But no one thought they should be shut down.

They want drama and attention. Best to just ignore, regardless of your opinion. Same with the lip and tongue piercing and nose hoops. They name it and put it on campus to get drama and attention, just like the piercings and such. Unless it's your kid, just ignore.

Picketing over foreskins being cut off and masturbation and listening to rock will send you to hell is f'ing ****oo to me and if that lessens your opinions of me, that's ultimately on you and I can't do anything about that.

And yes, I have issues with most fundamentalist religions. However that is of a different subject really and stems from a deep seated and personal background that I would never ask anyone to try to understand.

And just on the merits of debate here you accuse me of bigotry and yet in the very same breath damn the drag community. You understand the hypocrisy there, yes? Please say yes.

Look, you don't know my thoughts on the matter of LGBT community and I honestly don't care to get into it. Despite what you think. Even if I agreed with you. I justify myself to no one. Call me the ultimate pragmatist if that makes you happy.

That being said, I hold no ill will towards you and continue to respect your thoughts here on F16

ETA: Will add one HUGE clarification. I never once said drag was the norm. That is your assumption you laid upon what you wanted to take away from my statement. My whole point is that it is their right and they are doing it completely on their own. It has nothing to do with normalization. Just need to point that out.

18+ and self funded.

I don't really care beyond that and I will think on this no more.

So long as they're not having the event at a public library... with an invitation to kids... **** it.

Thy serve only to remind me I'm a normal... and also so I may recognize what mental illness looks like.

I personally don't get the appeal. Paying to see men dress like women. You gotta be a wacko to want to see that.

hypersexualization

If drag has nothing to do with gay, why is the "Queer Empowerment Council" the sponsor?

Mentally ill narcissists

Grooming, mostly

There is a small, but loud group of people that attempt to draw attention to themselves.
If you ignore them they just get louder.
