I'm really sick of noticing how much money there is in telling angry old white men what they want to hear. Enough to betray everyone else who has been through what you've been through, time and time again.

I have never watched a drag show where I had any thoughts that it was “sexual”. I mean we all agree that Dave Foley was the best looking women in Kids in the Hall and the one we would date if we had too but that’s just a fact.

Been like that for 30 years now. They just took hate radio to a more lucrative media level.

All super dangerous now that idiots have decided to go along with the next Republican cultural pogrom.

The funny thing is Republican idiots are the kind to always make slippery slope arguments raising fears about "what's next?!"

And yet, we can chart their entire trajectory right now, based on this new paranoid mania they've discovered.

I’m glad these “small government conservative” are open to dictating what parents can or can’t show their kids based on their own subjective definitions of what is or isn’t gross

Party of personal responsibility certainly feels it’s their responsibility to dictate how other persons live their lives

Is Madea banned in the Deep South now?

I went to the pantomime every year as a kid. And I've got a cousin who's entire family get involved with a local panto every year, her husband regularly plays Widow Twanky or the equivalent.

They just use it to lie and say they are just doing this to protect the children. The oldest bigoted excuse used in this country.
