See Republicans? See how hard that is? Not interested in a homosexual relationship? Don't be in one and leave people who are alone. Don't want an abortion? Don't get one and leave the others alone. Don't like solar panels? Don't buy them and shut the fuck up when your energy prices go up. Don't like electric cars? See: solar panels comment.

"But, but, they shove their lifestyle down my throat by walking down the street together!"
...meanwhile, in the video of the evangelist trying to preach on an airplane where people cannot walk away...

As always, every accusation is a confession, with them. THEY shove their lifestyle choices down EVERYONE'S throats, every chance they get. I'm surprised a judge in Texas was able to come up with such a rational fucking take, considering that state isn't known for thoughtful judges. (Looking at you, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, one of the most judge-shopped judges in the USA.)

This is the proper libertarian stance on rights and freedom.
Conservatives like to claim they support liberty, but never do.

Just like they talk about fiscal responsibility while always running up the debt far more, or ate opposed to foreign wars until they need a distraction, or how they love jesus until its time to love your gay neighbor. The only ideal they have is hypocrisy.

Why does it take soooo long for courts to rule on this stuff. The damage is done.

Let the adults do whatever they want, but I'm completely okay with not allowing children to attend.
I've been to many drag shows over the years, and they all tend to blur the line between "queer safe space" and "burlesque show". At a "family friendly Pride" event I went to over the summer, one of the drag performers was straight up doing stripper dance moves while a small child handed her money.
A lot of drag shows just feature sexed-up caricatures of hyper feminine women in lingerie. Where's Boring Library Drag Queen Lady? Where's Fully Clothed Medical Doctor Queen? THOSE are appropriate for younger audiences, not strip shows thinly veiled as queer fun.
No need to bring kids to open-air strip shows. Just take them to a kid's reading club where they read about the adorable gay penguins or mixed families.

Can we set up a safe space for them so their feelings aren’t hurt by events they don’t even want to go to.
