Drag queen at wedding

[wedding2021]

I'm considering having a drag queen sing at my wedding. What would you think if you were at a wedding and a drag queen had been booked to perform? Obviously they'd tone it down a bit with swearing etc.

Kids go to the pride events etc and it is a cheap way to keep them entertained with what otherwise may be a bit of a boring event for them. This gives them a chance to have something for them
Jesus Fucking Christ

Well my children are adults but taking them to a pride event for 'entertainment' wouldn't have crossed my mind. If I wanted my children to see half naked dancers off their nuts on coke or whatwver I am sure I could do it at home (jokes).
And we lived in Brighton...explaining the naked bike ride to them was bad enough.
And no i am not a 'homophobe ' before anyone starts.

@Destroyedpeople lots of children of LGBT parents go to pride events.
Some are young. Funnily enough the story tent doesn't involve naked people reading stories. It involves people involved in pride - fully clothed - reading stories

There is nothing wrong with it, they can, if they want, dress up as a woman and there is no judgement for doing so.

What do you mean by 'dress up as a woman'? What does 'dressing as a woman' mean? I dont know a single female in my life who wears what drag queens wear?

@JoeExoticsEyebrowRing then you haven't experienced very many drag queens.

Have you never earn a full length dress? Have you never worn a black dress? Look on sites like boohoo and ASOS you may get a good idea!

@grumpyorange...well that's fine. Doesn't mean it's for everyone. And I doubt ten year old sit in the story tent all day. I have been to many pride events myself so I know what is on view.
And if I want my children to be brainwashed about 'inclusivity' i can simply send them to primary school. Oh wait. ..

@Destroyedpeople where did I say it was for everyone? Where did I say they had to sit in there all day?

Joe asked a question. I provided an answer as the question was directed about pride events I answered about children at pride events

You clearly stated that children would sit in the story tent being read to.

Well mine wouldn't have

That’s not the tent with the human doggies is it?

@Destroyedpeople I don't know what you're on about. Where did I say they sat in the story tent the whole time? Can you find it because I can't?

Good for your kids some kids will do and will want to. Same way as at school some kids may choose to go on the playground and others spend time in the library? Children make choices based on what they like to do!

@Lordfrontpaw no

Yes and dragging children along yo pride events kind of removes that choice doesn't it

To

Pride was never a kids event before. Now it’s gone all ‘fabulous’ you find straight mummies and daddies take their kids along to show how right-on they are. It was for adults, it used to be political. There was a time that if you showed your face there was risk of backlash.

Now it is just seems to be a window for kinks, fantasies and fetish. And straight teens in glittery outfits trying to fit in with the trend.

It’s the way it is. And as for puppies and sweeties for kids by lobby groups - that just sinister.

@Destroyedpeople yet you took your children to pride??

Lol I'm done arguing with you. Double standards much. Or did your household with your 10yr old have a democratic vote beforehand?

@destroyedpeople

Ah yes. Taking children means they don’t have a choice. Yet you’ve been to pride with your 10yr old?
Did they get a choice?

You need to chill out

No you numpty I used to go before I had children

Pride was never a kids event before. Now it’s gone all ‘fabulous’ you find straight mummies and daddies take their kids along to show how right-on they are.

Pride was less attended by children in the past because gay parenting was much less mainstream (and even then, I know women in their 70s who took their children to pride marches when they were little).

Think about it. People who grew up when homosexuality between men was illegal, when children might be removed from mothers who were lesbians, even when Section 28 was in force, probably didn't feel able to take their children to a pride event.

I agree that some Pride marches seem to me a bit OTT. But my daughter knows she has two mummies. Her nursery did Pride Day for them, FGS. It was not a sordid attempt to brainwash children into becoming gay. It was a chance for little girls like mine to have their family set-up recognised and normalised.

@destroyedpeople

Lol you fucked up there didn’t you! How do you know your 10yr old wouldn’t have wanted to go to the story tent if you didn’t go?

You made out you took your DC then majorly backtracked as you were called out.

You went to pride yet you don’t believe in inclusivity?

Troll alert

Urgh!

My sisters mate and her girlfriend used to take her daughter when she was little - and she’s in the 30s now.

So no - it’s not going to ‘brainwash a child gay’ but these days will expose children to those who attend dressed as doggies and adult babies. Who the hell wants their kids petting an 8 foot purple penis?

@MrsAvocet
I've been to lots of parties and wedding over the years. Ranging from we've all chipped in, to it's all laid on.
Had an absolute blast even the raunchy adult-themed ones.

The ones that have had complaints were from spoilt guests. Bitching because oh I don't want, I don't like, I want, I want, I want. That's cheeky fuckery right there, guests making demands.

And someone mentioned older folk might not like it?
Which older folks would those be?
Let's do the time warp again. (older folks might get the reference)

@Sittinonthefloor you might have a long wait. Drag has been around since 1886.

Let's get rid of Carnivals as well. All those people dressing up, dancing having fun, and omg children are there.

Just because something as been around since 18-canteen doesn’t make it ok.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I’d be surprised to see a ‘turn’ at a wedding.

Dragging children along to Pride removes choice. ]

Where is that same choice when parents
Drag their children shopping
Have to give up their space because someone else is coming to stay
Drag their children round musty old buidling
Around places full of boring pictures
Dragged round to mum/dads mate to hear them babbling on for hours on end

@Livingonachair do you always have problems with comprehension. I just don't think pride events'are'suitable for children. Shoot me for my lack of 'woke'.
