Almost like they are fragile snowflakes. Or something.

Like puppies and kitties, we don't deserve drag queens. They deserve better.

Aw, you're adorable. Show us evidence of a crime or there is no crime, sweetie. Pics or it didn't happen, in other words.

So you're telling me that this place, affiliated with an organization which when abbreviated could be referred to as SCUM, is ... kinda scummy? Yeah, checks out.

Do you have HBO Max? I've been watching a show where Trixie and their partner bought a motel and are renovating it. They named it Trixie Motel. And Katya's supposed to show up at some point!

The appearance of a random horse in an opera used to be fairly common, because if you've got the bloody horse you may as well use it. It's rarer these days, because "traditional" stagings of the Ring Cycle are now considered a bit naff. The occasional production of Aida will go all-in with live animals in the Triumphal March, though. https://www.upi.com/Archive...

Remember that experiment where these silly Research Folks showed all sorts of People videos of different kinds of sex? And the righteous conservative straight men were the ones that got the biggest erections watching Gay Sex? Funny…

I’m thinking Kirk and Lindsay need a few nice Hydrochloric Acid Enema Treatments. We can do a Go Fund Me to pay for ‘em.

When I saw the Ring in Seattle in 2001, no such luck. Same with Aida. I was trying to think if I've seen a live animal on stage any other time than in Don Quixote, and I can't think of it in 20 years of season tickets.

So, according to James Lindsay, we leftists are so morally deranged and cynical that we would actually organize an event for children, hoping some violent protestors would show up and someone would get hurt, all in order to manufacture bad optics for the other side.

Lindsay, I see your projection and raise you Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Donnie and The Coup Plotters, all on record hoping Antifa would show up at the Capitol on J6 and someone would get hurt, so as to justify martial law, election nullification, the illegal retention of power and the end of America.

Just to be clear; That false flag stuff? That's not us. That's you.

But...but, the scrupulously objective James Lindsay said it did, right there on the video!

Kids already know how to twerk. It comes naturally.

Probably just thinks it's an interesting person, who seems funny and kind.

And that's the problem. Religio-Fascists don't want things like kindness, individuality, humor, thinking for oneself and acceptance of others taking root in children. How are you gonna control an open mind?

I'd just like to point out that one of Wagner's operas calls for a live horse as part of the staging. Most modern productions don't include a literal live animal; but Britain's Royal Opera House used to have a resident horse and stabling, specifically for that purpose.

This was masculine, for its time - which goes to show that masculinity or femininity (or any other variation) is just a social construct.
