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.

None of that would be made remotely more enjoyable by a drag queen heckling/taking the piss out of the guests.

"When a man is in drag they are a she"

Is he ever a he?

You know full well whoever posted about sanitary towels was using that as one example only. My 69 year old mil felt intimidated by a man in the changing rooms. She doesn't have periods. HTH

"think you'll find the men who had erections were arrested at a later date and now have a criminal record."

No. No they weren't. You're referring to a couple of the very vocal organisers. I'm not.

I think drag queens are poking fun at women and are a bit shit

@crustycrab you said as below

Yes! That's exactly where they are lurking

Which is fucking horrible and shows your bigoted point of view

I'm finding the conflation of drag queens to seedy behaviour and "lurking predators" pretty sickening too living, not just you
The argument is the exact same shit of how being gay had people hiding and lurking too, it's a vile, outdated point of view.

"crustycrab you said as below

Ok, so I've been completely misunderstood there. I'm responding to the claim that Pride is a child friendly and "lovely" place.

Groups such as MAP are lurking behind the rainbow flag. They are desperate to be included. They are lurking behind normal people and trying to be included under that banner.

MAP had a tent at several pride events over the past few years. They flew rainbow flags.

They are literally lurking behind every person there in an attempt to be included, accepted and as a result, normalised.

If me thinking MAP are seedy makes me bigoted then crack on. Otherwise I'm fucking offended and that's pretty hard to do.

It's grim allowing kids to go along to what Pride has become and I stand by that.

No. You'd be upstaged. Seriously, why not just get the Crankies in, or that Emu or anything from ITV . Dreadful idea.

I would LOVE the Krankies turning up! That'd be the best wedding EVER lol, used to love them, thanks for the nostalgia trip I don't get the whole "upstaged" argument. Are people really that precious over their wedding day? I don't get it, I'm not a loook at me, looooook at MEEEEE type of person so would'nt have occurred to me to feel upstaged by a band, a singer, or what people are wearing or whatever, it's just so ridiculous!

@LemonadeAndDaisyChains have you any idea what is lurking at Pride? Any idea what lesbians have had to deal with the last few years?

I'm no bigot. You're as bad as the men that claim I am

It's disgusting what some people really think.
History really has taught some nothing.

All about acceptance, and equality until... Oh no, cannot have that.

People are free to live how they want within the laws.

If I said for example - mn is mainly full of miserable people, too stuck up their own arses to think about others. Instead, they prefer to show the world oh look at me, clapping like a mindless sheep, whilst in secret they nasty, vicious spiteful witches. -- If I said that I would be ripped to shreds for the blatantly obvious.

Thankfully my mind is fully open, nothing about being woke. I just do actually believe in inequality and rather than bang on about it, I like to challenge when it makes no rational sense other than pure bigotry. I don't like racism, in a way I have respect for racists. At least they have the balls to own it regardless of their sex.

@LemonadeAndDaisyChains
I know right?
Even hiring a DJ must be a nightmare for some. What if it's one of those with actual talent and their set outshines the bride.

Or worse, oh don't worry about the music. A mate of mines a DJ and in walks one of the more known ones

So you support and accept MAP 🤢 disgusting.

And now have brought clapping into it. Wow 🤣

Crustcrab - what are you actually talking about?

clap for map?

my mind is do open my brains fell out

Drag acts are lame. Who would want to go to a wedding and have such rubbish inflicted upon them? Talentless bilge in the main.

Nobody's clapping for MAP
What the actual fuck are people going on about lol, try reading the actual post the poster posted?!

Reading this thread there seem to be 2 heavily invested posters slagging off any woman who dares to disagree. Reminds me of something.....

Blimey this thread got weird, wtf is MAP, Men Adorned Prettily? and what does it have to do with drag queens at weddings?

Maybe the small number of posters who want to have their own private argument, could go and start their own thread to attack each other on ?

Reading this thread there seem to be 2 heavily invested posters slagging off any woman who dares to disagree.

This is just such a batshit argument - why "heavily invested?"
You mean people on the thread, just like you?
Like we're entitled to be?
Get your conspiracy tin foil hats here people!
We're entitled to our opinion too, it has absolutely fuck all to do with what sex you are, I have no idea what sex you are I'm just responding to opinions on here like people tend to do!

and what does it have to do with drag queens at weddings?
Absolutely nothing.
Unless you think pervert groups are lurking behind every drag queen and gay person which some seem to think

perverts that should say

Where did I bring in the morning-after pill? And what's that got to do with Drag Queens?

I've clearly missed a lot. Had to check I was on the right thread.

Here are three blokes:

Billy Porter - highly successful actor and singer. Wore this dress to the Oscars.

John Maclean - Scottish makeup artist and Youtuber. Appears to be very confident in his own masculinity, has captioned Instagram photos with 'I am the man' and says that his pronouns are 'Your Grace'

Flowjob - a Scottish drag queen who has highly sexualised social media pages and openly appears to have a problem with drugs.

Which of these men do you think would be best to take into a school and teach children about inclusivity, acceptance and being able to wear whatever you want with confidence?

Who might not be appropriate?

@JoeExoticsEyebrowRing I don't think you're getting the point. Drag is an art form and it can be both child friendly and more adult. I don't get the need to put it in a box.

As for the comments about flowjob, that seems to be none of your business, she's not actively promoting that to kids so what's the issue.

You seem to have a stark misunderstanding about both the history of drag and what it is. It is simply a medium in which to create.
