    NGL, I’ve met 3 people in my life that are/were drag queens. All 3 have tried to get in my pants even though I’m not gay. HOWEVER COMMA, that was just 3 people in that community. That doesn’t define the whole demographic. A person that didn’t grow beyond their narrow upbringing probably wouldn’t have that kind of perspective. It creates fear and shame for who those people really are. Granted I also was not friends with those people. I didn’t know them beyond their persona’s and they didn’t know me beyond barroom shenanigans. But digressing back to my point, if you grow up in a household where your true feelings of how you should live are suppressed, then that creates shame which puts people like this in this position. It’s a way of thought that is quickly diminishing and people are beginning to be able to live how they want regardless of personal opinion. The people who scream against those acts and get caught participating should definitely be criticized, but criticized still with open arms because that’s a victory for all parties.

    But, I’m a white cis male, so my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt

      Why do use an example of 3 drag queens hitting on you as an example of them doing something bad? I’ve been hit on by other guys even though I’m straight, and I find it flattering more than anything. It’s not like people know your sexual preferences by looking at you.

        What I’m getting at is I understand how closed minded people would be upset about it
