Drag queen at wedding

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.

@destroyedpeople you stated ‘And if I want my children to be brainwashed about 'inclusivity' i can simply send them to primary school. Oh wait. ..’

So from this any person can infer you don’t believe that children should be taught about inclusivity.

Nothing wrong with my comprehension you just need to go back and read the hate that you’ve written Grin

elizabethh00 · 25/05/2020 11:59

Omg yes I'm Going to have one at mine but I am a fan of drag anyway, good drag not a bad one obviously but you can get some brilliant one ones that will have everyone's mood right up howling with laughter and then up dancing I've been to many drag shows in soho and they are amazing better than a dull cheesy wedding singer in my eyes x

@destroyedpeople

But you wrote about how children shouldn't be taught to be inclusive?

Interested in this thread?

Fgs lighten up listen to yourselves falling over each other to be the most 'right on'. Yes my children were taught to be 'inclusive'. That didn't stop bullying which goes on with teachers covert encouragement even while said teachers are off in meetings learning about how to be...inclusive .

Livingonachair · 25/05/2020 12:11

Yet you’re happy to pass horrific judgements on drag queens and have openly stated that being taught about inclusivity is brainwashing?

canigooutyet · 25/05/2020 12:12

So your children were "taught" inclusive and this has to do with bullying teachers because?

MrMeSeeks · 25/05/2020 12:13

I prefer just music, but for an act i would love it!

canigooutyet · 25/05/2020 12:15

Oh, I'm not falling over myself to do anything.

I'm just interested to know more about being inclusive and peoples own perception in regards to what it really means.

InAGarden · 25/05/2020 12:18

Not something I’d want to see.

Destroyedpeople · 25/05/2020 12:24

'Horrific judgements' jeez where?
Get a grip

canigooutyet · 25/05/2020 12:24

Although wonder how many people would like to hear

Take the broom from up your ass. You are a judgemental, clueless bigot. You say inclusive and it's just a word to you. Because it comes with unless.

Funny, ask most children they will tell you what it is to be inclusive - the acceptance of all.

Lordfrontpaw · 25/05/2020 12:27

Acceptance without questioning

If you ask children what is ‘inclusion’ these days they will most likely reply first that it’s about gender. Not about disability, race, age, ethnicity... or even sex.

Destroyedpeople · 25/05/2020 12:32

@canigooutyet ...lay off the personal insults will you. You don't know me any more than I know you...
I am allowed an opinion on this that doesn't tally with yours.

grumpyorange · 25/05/2020 12:36

@Destroyedpeople lay off the personal insults you say... please go back to what you said to @Livingonachair

@Livingonachair do you always have problems with comprehension.

SarahAndQuack · 25/05/2020 12:37

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?

No, it really won't. I am aware there are some Pride events that aren't suitable for children. I wouldn't take DD to London's Pride March simply because it is so big and pushy, for example.

But an awful lot of them are made up of 25 gay men, a taggle of teenagers in face paint, and groups of lesbian mums talking about vegan burgers and crochet.

grumpyorange · 25/05/2020 12:39

@Lordfrontpaw we did this with my class before covid. The main answer we got back (they wrote it down so couldn't be a influenced by others) was 'acceptance'
When pushed harder they said that everyone is treated the same. Disability was the top example they used followed by 'two boys or two girls can love each other'

Lordfrontpaw · 25/05/2020 12:39

What is the point of it now though? Pride goes on for ages - months. We had flags up around where I work last year from June through to when the unis went back - and there there was pride events happening at freshers week, so the flags were flying for weeks.

Lordfrontpaw · 25/05/2020 12:40

grumpyorange - glad to hear it!

crustycrab · 25/05/2020 12:59

Fucking hell - come back to a thread 24 hours later to find that @grumpyorange has bashed the shit out of it so much she actually believes she's winning this 

Pride is not an event for kids, especially not in recent years where it has become increasingly sexualised and, as @Destroyedpeople said, somewhere for straight parents to show how "inclusive and right on" they are.

You talk of story tents etc. as if it's safe because it's legal. It isn't. Last year at numerous Pride events pup fetishists pitched their tent, got out the toys and sat there, gazing on in their leather and their masks, legs spread with erections clearly visible. What were they watching? 3/4/5 year old children playing with puppies, walking their human "pups" on leads.

Were they arrested? No. But the police did dance and pose with them. What were their twitter accounts showing? Pages and pages of penises, of young boys being used as "pups". Most of it deleted after the photographs from Pride emerged.

But I pointed you towards this yesterday. For a teacher you are worryingly opposed to seeking out the information required to educate yourself. Please look again!

You speak of inclusivity. Lesbians weren't particularly welcome at Pride last year. And they certainly weren't safe. From men insisting that we have to call them "she".

crustycrab · 25/05/2020 13:02

"Exactly, why can't drag artists wear dresses? Is it because you think men shouldn;t be allowed to express any feminine side?
They don''t usually say they're women, they say they're a man"

"Feminine side" 

Absolutely pissing myself. Have you ever seen drag? Drag isn't a man wearing a dress. Stop being obtuse.

And to be the pp that @grumpyorange welcomed for being "the voice of reason" it is a shame that you don't agree with her view that we should call a drag queen "she" when they are in drag.

canigooutyet · 25/05/2020 13:03

@Destroyedpeople
Where did I insult you?

Destroyedpeople · 25/05/2020 13:07

I may be confused about who said what....tiny screen and big fingers. ..

canigooutyet · 25/05/2020 13:08

@crustycrab
I've been around Drag artists all my life, and I'm in my 40's 😂

Reading some of the comments has given me a fab idea for a party, just to see if I need to cull my friends' list. 🤣

PuppyPuppy · 25/05/2020 13:10

@crustycrab completely agree with that post.

There were also representatives of MAP at some pride events.

Which sounds lovely and inclusive until you learn that MAP stands for minor attracted people, AKA paedophiles, who are open on various social media sites about their preferences.

Yet many lesbians were banned or protested against.

As for drag queens at a wedding? Yuck.

Lordfrontpaw · 25/05/2020 13:11

I wonder if the drag would turn up as a bride?
