People protesting outside of gay bars to āprotect childrenā from drag queens is as ludicrous as it sounds.
These venues donāt allow children. Children are not meant to be there. A food worker holding her kid in a club doesnāt mean the venue is for kids.
But they know that screaming and harassing people outside of a building where dozens of children are presentāwhich would actually be relevant to their point, even if itās dumbāwouldnāt look good.
And it also doesnāt achieve their true goal. Itās not about kids. Itās just the newest rebrand of olā fashion homophobia and transphobia.
They do not want us to have our own spaces. They do not want us to congregate in public. They do not want us to feel safe. They donāt want us in their neighborhoods or on their streets. And they have proven time and time again that they will use every meansāincluding violenceāto remove us.
āThe kidsā are an excuse and they always have been.
