Texas State Representative Bryan Slaton thinks a major problem in Texas is allowing children to see drag shows.

I gotta admit that I love drag shows. Back when we were having lotsa of problems the Catholic Priests, I announced that Ru Paul was the only man in a dress that I trusted. Now that it has turned into Southern Baptist preachers being perverts, I have decided that that the only man I trust in a loud, obnoxious suit is Captain America.

Anyway, back to drag shows. Slaton wants to ban children from attending a drag show. Now while you’re wondering if that would include clown costumes at the circus, or muppets who are male but handled by females, or powder puff football for graduating seniors, let me tell you how this came about.

A group sponsored by the LGBTQ caucus in Houston volunteered to do drag story time for children at the public library. The place was packed every Saturday morning with preschoolers and their parents.  Ben was 4 when it started and his Mean Parents (they won’t let him eat ice cream for breakfast) took him. He was charmed. He told me, “Gigi, they wore costumes! Shiny costumes! And we all had fun.”

He was 4 years old and he understood drag.

I wonder if Slaton knows that Shakespeare’s female roles were done in drag?  I think he doesn’t know. I think he’s an idiot.

You know what is annoying like a dripping kitchen sink about Republicans? They want government out of our lives except when it comes to good, clean fun.
