Drag Queen Story Times picketed by protestors who claim that it grooms children and promotes paedophilia

[Tanya1982]

Left wing urban, everyone.. sad life of teachers innit. No one gives a fuck, we're all drunk at the weekend, especially foreign language teachers talk nonsense about foreign affairs.

We should basically be very sad be that we only have 30 hours on a weekend before we come in to contact with the next generation of humanity.


How sad are our lives .

Err, ok.

No one speaks for "all" anyone. Ever. Not you, not me, not anyone.

Sometimes someone gives another the ability to speak by giving no fucks and allowing oneself, against all odds, to piss against the wind.

Anglo liberal and right wing media is a very hard wind to piss against.. we still do it, cuz our brains haven't been contorted to think that stripper heels and PVC leotards are appropriate for children, and a reasonable representative of gay needs globally.

You do you, tho boo..

I don’t think anybody said that. Just that these women have a right to go to whatever entertainment they choose to, and those who aren’t there have the same right not to go. It’s only really you that’s completely misunderstood and made this a proxy for gay rights, while arguing the women in the picture have no right to be there, shouldn’t have the choice to be there, and have made their children into paedophilia targets.

There’s no way to know whether the drag queen in question is even gay. They might be bisexual, or even straight. All of this is your prejudice - and people are trying to be kind by repeatedly giving you the option of putting tonight’s nonsensical torrent down to you being pissed.

Sorry meant to quote Ionas excellent post

This is a very useful post thank you

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

The russian and polish government have the same ideas on many issues to the extent that its hard to tell from written excerpts the source.

IMAGINE doing this to the Welsh and Irish.



I mean, for me, I am LMAFOFOFO...

 

[B.I.G]

Yeah, if you only speak English and have a rudimentary understanding of Eastern European Slavic Donkey Carts.

So you really believe the excerpts of speeches by the senior members of PiS and Putin aren’t interchangeable on LGBTQ+ issues?

My dear,. the gay rights "argument" (that btw has nothing to do with gat, or rights) was made from page one. It had nothing to do with me.

There was all sorts or nonsense talk about homophobia and sexuality of ballerinas Vs drag strippers.

However tonight the ensemble surrounding me decided that you ridiculous Englishes were being so silly that we all had a right laugh.

And laugh we did.

We are still laughing.

Is there a point to this?

Good for you. We are just getting on with it.

I just read this out loud to the grupowa and this was the reaction :

 

[Rob Ray]

It's a drunk person rambling on, the best you can hope for is the general gist which appears to be "I'm here with my gay Polish friends who I've been telling a version of the conversation and we've had a good laugh about English liberals" on repeat. I think we're supposed to be angry about it or something.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Yeah, please feel free to advocate for strip tease toddler hour on behalf of gays..

Or don't, but as a request from my mates, please don't

 

[B.I.G]

I just read this out loud to the grupowa and this was the reaction :

Amazing how they have failed to hear Morawiecki say the exact same things as Putin referring to the “traditional family”, “men waking up one day and deciding to be women” and the “western ideology corrupting values”.

 

[Rob Ray]

Protip: Don't try and out-argue an aggy drunk. On which note, she may still be out and about but this ole perv-apologist is headed to bed I think. Night all.

 

[Tanya1982]

Well, Saturday nights out aren’t what they once were if the entertainment is hours of someone reading out translated sections of an argument they’re having online.

Most linguistically and politically ignorant shit on here I read in a long time.

 

[Tanya1982]

Somewhere in Poland a group of bored gay men is trying to be polite, while whispering to each other (very definitely not in English) ‘this is the last time we invite her on a night out’.

 

[B.I.G]

Most linguistically and politically ignorant shit on here I read in a long time.

So you are saying the leaders of PiS don’t frequently attack the LGBTQ+ community?

That they are being mistranslated?

Or are you annoyed that Putin says the same things and you are saying that because they are enemies, they can’t hold similar views on the LGBTQ+ community?

 

[krtek a houby]

Are these mates in the room with you right now?

This is top notch Urban. Well played everyone, well played indeed.

 

[Epona]

Good grief.
has a look in thread then backs out, quietly closing the door on the way out

Sounds like an extraordinary Saturday night out.

 

[Santino]

So if someone says it is a safeguarding risk to allow LGBTQ people to work in schools we should take that seriously?

If someone said that as a general statement, then no.

 

[Santino]

I mean, if it helps I'm happy to assume "good faith concerns being manipulated by bad faith right-wing actors"? I think it's still fair to ask where the people with these safeguarding concerns are getting their information on the subject from.

Yes, I agree. But you need to be careful that that doesn't cross over into immediate dismissal of concerns, on the assumption that they come from a place of bad faith. Which becomes circular because expressing concerns is taken as evidence of bad faith in the first place.

Most people have a weekend of 48 hours

Real urbans

The more that "sex-ed" is pushed on the young through the education system, the less the young are interested, cuz who wants to listen to the teachers and government?!?!

If that’s suggesting that there shouldn’t be a responsibility for schools to provide sex ed that’s ridiculous, for precisely the reasons of child safeguarding you mentioned earlier. But I’m also confused as to how school based sex ed relates to upside down drag artists

And finally...FINALLY.... the less you can speak a foreign language , the more you actually take on the imperialism of English Speakin Cuntries but "y'all" identify as left wing so LOL.

Seriously, I'd love to know how many posters can speak another language on this forum.

I hold up my hand, that’s me even though I have tried. I used to blame this on the UK’s focus on reading and writing over speaking and listening, as I find the former much easier than the latter, and also being “crap”. But a few years ago I got clinical confirmation that my working memory* is indeed shit, due to having ADHD, so I was always at a massive disadvantage as far as foreign languages were concerned. So whilst I would agree that speaking different languages is admirable and the UK really needs to do better in how they’re taught, try to consider that your smugness comes across as a bit fucking ableist

*working memory relates to being able to retain information for a short period of time to either recall it verbatim or make changes to it. For learning a language you need to hold what someone has said, translate it, work out what you want to say and translate that before speaking.

Literally on Google images mate. First page. Once something’s been posted it gets screen grabbed.

I mean if you want to maintain that event didn’t happen and that photo isn’t from it… you might be right… I guess.

But say it did happen, and that is an image from it, would your feelings be that’s… appropriate?

Cos if I came to know that a bunch of Christian Brothers or Scout leaders or whatever were acting like that in front of children it would certainly raise a few concerns for me.

My general feeling is that if it’s sexual, it’s not for children. Clearly urban disagrees.

Quoting page one of google is cognitive bias in a nutshell

I guess we should ban breastfeeding.
After all sucking on someone's nipples is highly sexual, can't have babies engaging in such depravity

Like that's not already the attitude

 

[Cloo]

I have no issue with people finding the Cababarave thing 'inappropriate' , only with people claiming anything like that is a paedophile plot. I do have a problem with people saying DQST is 'inappropriate' because there's no sexual element to it at all and the existence of LGBTQ people is not a 'sexual element'.

BTW, here's the listing for Cababaret which I saw a few weeks ago before this all blew up and looked pretty innocuous to me and probably something I'd have bought a ticket to if it had been around when I had a baby. I would have assumed the cabaret itself was going to be more family friendly, so I think anyone (and I don't think it's anyone here, but have seen elsewhere) accusing the mums of being terrible parents should bear in mind they were likely expecting something a bit tamer. I imagine if I'd gone with a baby, I would have enjoyed it, but also found it a bit much and not gone again. So not exactly massive trauma for my baby.
