In Tennesse, No Kids Allowed in Drag Shows


Apparently, if a child sees a man dressed as a woman in Tennesse the child will be confused about his/her own gender and become a trans. Some in Tennessee believe if the child ever sees a man in drag, he/she will never become a trans. Do they have academic evidence this happens? I've never seen it.  A bill has been introduced preventing children from viewing drag shows.

Men dressed as women is one of the oldest forms of entertainment in the world. It was recorded in the Bible. If it's 2,000 years old we have had plenty of time to study its evil effects on little boys. None yet.

Women wear men's styles. Have we seen evidence this is turning little girls into little boys? None yet. This evil practice is not prohibited. 

I'm wondering if Public Television in Tennessee has banned the popular British films with drag actors. Certainly if any parent is watch old TV programs with children and Jonathan Winters comes on as Maud Frickert parents much throw towels over children's that they not be exposed.

 I suppose much of this has to do with men performing public service by reading to children in public libraries while in drag. This was done to increase interest in books and traffic at public libraries. Parents brought their children voluntarily and should be the ones to make such decisions. Conservative Christian Legislators like parents having authority over what children are taught. But, if parents do not follow what there legislators want laws need to be put in place. 

Our theater immersed granddaughter was in musical a few years ago. A character was needed to play the lunch lady. The best actor available was a man already casted as a male school teacher. He was on stage as the lunch lady for much of the play. Afterwards at autograph time in the lobby kids were flocking to the man still in drag. Once I was nearby him when a little boy asked, "What's your real name." He replied, "It's in the program. You will see it's a guy's name." The kid moved on, not sure what to make of that answer. It was delightful to overhear that conversation.  

Drag entertainment is fun. Let people, young and old, enjoy it.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
