Tennessee lawmakers just sent a bill to the Republican governor, Bill Lee,
that will ban drag queens from performing in front of children. And boy
are the drag queens angry.
But let’s hope more states follow Tennessee’s lead, though. This bill —
this ban — is a much-needed injection of sanity in a culture that’s not
only gone crazy, but also, but more so, gone outright abusive and
dangerous to children. It’s called Putting Children First — something
leftists always claim to do. Right?
“This is a commonsense child-safety bill,” said one supporter of SB3,
Tennessee Rep. Chris Todd.
Yes. It is. And it’s one that should be replicated around the nation.
Enough of the lunatic fringe and psychologically damaged and deranged
running the show — running roughshod over norms and normalcies and all
that’s normal. Men dressing as women and parading their half-naked and
sexually charged bodies in front of kids, even prancing for dollars in
some videotaped instances, is called child abuse.
Tennessee lawmakers took action. A handful of other states — Republican-
run states — are considering similar bills. But Tennessee has taken
action.
“The bill, which passed 74-to-19, makes it illegal to host ‘an adult
cabaret performance’ where children may be present. Cabaret performances
are defined as those featuring ‘topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic
dancers, strippers, [and] male or female impersonators who provide
entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest,’” as the National
Review writes.
Violators face Class A misdemeanors, fines of up to $2,500 and up to a
year in prison. Subsequent violations carry class E felony charges,
between one and six years in prison, and fines of up to $3,000.
Those are actually light sentences considering the abuse factor.
What children see can’t be unseen.
What children learn can’t be so quickly and easily, in some cases, be
unlearned.
Teaching the nation’s youngest, most vulnerable and most impressionable
such sexual moves and grooves — and from a most abnormal, psychologically
deviant perspective — is wicked. It’s evil. It destroys the innocence of
youth. And that, in turn, opens the door for the next generation of
deviancy.
Therein lies the goal of the LGBTQ crowd.
It’s not about acceptance; it’s not about tolerance. It’s about flipping
norms and flipping the middle finger at traditional family and biblically
based values. It’s about tearing down societal standards and bringing
about a new culture that supposedly embraces everything — which is to say,
stands for nothing. Collapse is then imminent.
That is when the leftists who love the LGBTQ agenda will announce their
victory: when society has crumbled to the point of utter chaos and rules
and laws and principles and finer virtues and godly values are
obliterated.
“The intent of the legislation is just to simply say that you cannot have
sexually explicit entertainment … in a public venue where kids might be
present,” said Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, the bill’s
sponsor, as NBC News reported.
The fact that this bill is even necessary shows just how lunatic America’s
culture has become.
