We've Had a Good Run, America

2017 in a single sentence:

A Satanically clad drag queen reading to children at the Michelle Obama Library in Long Beach, California.









Nope. Nothing wrong with this culture of ours. ;-)

First, I must say that I have no problem with this whatsoever.

Soooooo, let me wear whatever Halloween costume I want and shut the fuck up about it if makes you uncomfortable.

Ok?

Thank you, and have a nice day.

It wasn't for Halloween, sir, though the drag queen was a little more drag-y and costumed than normal. But you're more than welcome to dress like a drag queen and read to homeless bums if you'd like. ;-)

They have an entire month for LGBTQ history?

Are you sure that's not in Canada? That sounds like something we would do here...

"An online retailer has pulled a costume from its website that depicted Holocaust victim Anne Frank.


Screenshots of the costume for sale at HalloweenCostumes.com posted to social media show a smiling girl wearing World War II-era clothing and a beret. The costume was quickly criticized on Twitter. Carlos Galindo-Elvira, who leads the Anti-Defense League’s Arizona office said on Twitter that the costume trivializes Frank’s memory.


North Mankato, Minnesota-based Fun.com runs the website. Spokesman Ross Walker Smith tweeted Sunday that the costume had been pulled from the website. He explained that the company sells costumes for activities other than Halloween, like “school projects and plays.” He apologized for any offense caused by the costume.


Anne Frank is known for the diary she wrote while in hiding from the Nazis during the war."



My favorite part is the last sentence in this story about rage and offense...the author thought it needed to be said who Anne Frank was.

To be frank, most Americans probably don't know the difference between Anne Frank and Barney Frank. And I say that as a non Canuck.

Ruined, no, but I do wonder why gyrations their parents have to do to explain the event to the children. Those rationalizations will be what ruins the kids, not the actual event.

What rationalization? "Yes, son, that's drag queen Satan."

It's adults who need rationalizations and explanations. I think kids would be totally down with this.

We have a local French festival here in town every summer and (for whatever reason) they always have a drag queen show.

We took my son and once of his friends to see the show. Everyone had a blast.

I have some friends (guys) that would be totally uncomfortable just seeing this show.

Those are the people that concern me.

I'm an adult and I would like an explanation of why we need a month to celebrate the history of the LGBTQ. And I'd also like an explanation of why that, whatever it is, has to come into a school of young children and read to them and the purpose it serves.

You missed some letters. The pic with the FB post had an A and an I in there. Eventually they'll get the whole alphabet stuffed in.







(I'm joking, seems like a cool event)

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine

It’s a drag queen Satan. What further explanation do we need?

It's funny. These days of you speak out against things that you don't want your children to see, you are either, afraid of something or intolerant. Those are the modern ways to get everyone to have the same opinions about everything. That way, no one can be offended.


I don't want my daughter to have a history month for LGBTQ because I think it's ridiculous. I also don't want schools to take the time to invite a transgender satan to read to my child because I think that's ridiculous too.


I don't have to accept everything just because most people do.

If I had to bet, I would put my money on less than 50% of U.S. adults knowing who Anne Frank was.

I would guess to them it's just a person in a freaky costume.
