Alert: Houston Has All Kinds of People
There’s definitely some negatives about living dangerously close to Houston. Traffic, OMG traffic. Humidity, OMG humidity. Did I mention traffic and humidity?
But there are some sterling things, too. It’s a liberal city and always has been in my lifetime. We elected a lesbian mayor when it was a thing. We are diverse. We are generally friendly unless you whine. We have gorgeous parks scattered everywhere. We have a world class medical center and Rice University. We have a gorgeous skyline and a world champion baseball team. Our food draws on all cultures but you can generally get better Mexican food here than in Mexico City. There’s a lot to love about Houston.
Especially, this: there is a Saturday afternoon activity for Houston children at one of the neighborhood libraries. It’s called the Drag Queen Storytime and it’s delicious! It is so popular that they keep having to move it to larger locations and you have to get there long before it starts to get in line for a ticket.
So, of course, somebody wants to ruin the fun. James “Doc” Green is a host for a radio show called “Raging Elephants.” He has already been warned to stay away from the library where Drag Queen Storytime puts on a show. He’s even been banned by the library from even being on the premises, but he just can’t help himself.
So, he “was detained, disarmed, and escorted out by police on Saturday, Jan. 26, for entering the building and refusing to leave.” It took seven police officers to remove him. He yelled at the librarian,“We have a bunch of homosexuals that are molesting children. They are doing it with your help.”
I don’t think he understands the whole drag queen thing. My 5 year old grandson has been to Drag Queen Storytime and he told me it was “cool, because they wear costumes.” I’m proud to tell you that he “gets it.” Maybe he could explain that to Doc.
Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
Given the package and profile, I would bet that he’s projecting.
1Perhaps he’d prefer to protest at the Co-Cathedral. Cardinal Di Nardo I supposed to release a real list today!
2The first sign of his idiocy is the hat.
3It’s a dead giveaway like a phishing email that starts out “Dear valued customer.”
Growing up in Nevada probably changes one’s world view. While our economy is fueled by gambling, we don’t take any shit off New Yawk with their Wall Street legalized gambling. And yes, some counties here have legalized prostitution as part of the economy; one even elected a dead brothel owner to the state lege. We also profit off marriage and divorce. Once even hosted a big Baptist convention here because no other city has the available hotel rooms like Las Vegas. They have not been back. Not because they didn’t want to return, but because the casino owners think they’re an unprofitable bunch of cheapskates who didn’t average a roll of nickels per person and stuff more straws into one beer to share than college kids stuffing bodies into a car on spring break. That cheap; plus they annoyed the hell out of the people who live here and the guests who came for a good time.
Sorry NJ, when it comes to entertainment your Atlantic City neither computes nor competes. Haven’t counted, but the Judy Garland impersonators may out number the Elvis impersonators here. We have the headliners and we have the revues. Some of the revues are extravaganzas of talent impersonating the headliners and legends. Those revues would not exist without the drag queens, cross dressers, transgenders, homosexuals and probably even a few straight guys trying to make a living. They’re funny, talented and some of the most interesting people with whom to have a conversation. Kenny Kerr was probably the most famous. La Cage Master of Ceremonies James GYPSY Haake is worth a google for entertainment videos. Word has it now in his 80s, he’s kicking up the heat in Palm Springs entertainment.
Reading to kids. Imagine. Who knew entertainers would be entertaining to kids, too.
4If I were looking for a child molester, Drag Queens would be the last people I would look at.
5Dementia. Just that.
6Sheeesh. The greatest danger to kids in that library wasn’t drag queens reading stories; it was a right wing nutjob trespassing while carrying a gun. Yet somehow Mr. Green sees himself as a font of righteousness. Thank goodness the police removed him before somebody got hurt. The man needs help.
7I had to deal with guys who bullied strangers they regarded as their inferiors: other guys they saw as less masculine as themselves, minorities of every flavor, street people, etc. I never had to arrest a child molester. Looking back, I don’t trust myself to have done so. Prolly wouldn’t have ended well, ultimately for either of us.
8Only a guy in a MAGA hat could think of a reason to make trouble in a public library. Too much like PBS, but with books?
9MAGA
Make America Get Angry.
I can guarantee that most abuse of children starts in anger, not in drag…
10So children are dying of neglect at the southern border, sitting in cages wondering if they’ll ever see their parents, and getting preventable diseases like measles because some idiot thinks vaccine is evil — but they need to be saved from people reading them stories? Excuse me, I need to scream into a pillow for a while.
11@Buttermilk Sky, I’m not sure that a pillow is what you need to scream into.
12MAGA= More Are Getting Arrested
13Any parents who don’t want their children to be exposed to drag queens can keep them home, and not take them to that library during the story time. If Mr. Green doesn’t want to be around drag queens, he can stay away from the library. But he probably wants publicity more than anything else, so there he goes.
14Jane and PKM:
Growing up Southern Baptist in southeast Texas definitely shapes your world view. I was DEVOUT. Until about 13 or 14, when I started paying a little attention. Hence my agnosticism. So, an old joke.
Why do you never take a Baptist fishing?
He’ll drink all your beer.
Micr:
15Thank you for your service.
The red hat is a mystery to me! When was ‘merica greater then it is now?? What year would they like to revert to?
16@L.Long
I’d guess some year of the Eisenhower administration: Republican, war hero president; booming economy; full on in your face military.
17First action to making America great again is to Impeach & Remove imposter in White House!
Keep America Great by only allowing intelligent people to vote!
18So the MAGA-man yelled: “We have a bunch of homosexuals that are molesting children.” Huh. Surprising he’d “out” his own MAGA team.
