    I notice that while you took a shot at it, you didn't actually engage with the questions.

    Well follow it. He posted a trashy twerk gif of a small child and attributed it to me.

    Pretty sure we can have a little common sense here and know a small child twerking for grown ups and a classical dance production are different.

    He did no such thing. What you just said was untrue (he in no way "attributed" it to you personally), and, given our conversation, I suspect you did so knowingly (making it a lie).

    I have nothing against the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, in fact I love watching them perform. That being said you're rather naive if you think their purpose is to cheer for the team rather than provide entertainment based on their rather suggestive sexuality. The difference between the cheerleaders and the drag queens is that the former are hot sexy women in suggestive outfits while the latter are men essentially dressed as clowns. Hope that answers your question and I agree that if drag queens are performing in a sexually suggestive manner children shouldn't be present.

    Just goes to show you that one person's 'lewd' dancing is another person's wholesome all-American entertainment.

    What would they disclose and how?
    Any concerned parents could ask anyway. Not to mention, what happens at drag shows isn’t exactly unknown.
    But it is weird that the same asks aren’t coming for plays (many of which can be really racy if they are local ones), comedy acts (which can offend just about anyone) among other things.
    There still seems to be a large undercurrent of it being an issue because mostly gay people. Which you know going in. There is like zero overlap between those the groups of parents we seem to be discussing and warnings would only dissuade a tiny number of people. Because most who would go to a drag show already know what one is about and what they will see. And among those, only a tiny fraction would ever take their kid. It’s mostly gay people (probably skewed younger) who go, or adults on a night out together.

    just another tempest in a teapot from Ron.

    Notification of adult content?
    Notification of simulated sex acts?
    In advance of me purchasing the ticket?

    I dont know, you tell me what you would like a heads up about before taking your kids into a show. I mean if we can agree that the parent should get yo make the choice why cant we agree that they should at least get a heads up on content so that the choice can be from a knowledgeable position?

    So in essence you would like trigger warnings for content

    Perhaps I wasnt clear. A play with simulated masturbation and fake genitalia should have a warning and likely would. Our local thalian association puts disclaimers on adult content. I also know that at least one comedy club here does the same.

    I would like to know if there will be adult content before taking a young child into a show. I think most parents would. Left or right.

    Oh we do. Christians are just as human as the next person. This effort to twist my defense into a lie is comical though.

    A poster attributes a twerking child to me and I call them out. Yet somehow I am the one lying.

    "Yay team" at its best.

    Okay, then you are going to have to come up with a government definition of "adult content" and "simulated sex acts." That seems like a huge problem. Is suggestive dancing a "simulated sex act?" Is cursing "adult content?" "Pornography" is a much easier thing to define for a government than something vague like "adult content" and it still struggles with the notion, leading to the "know it when I see it" comment in regards to pornography, which, while not legally binding, shows the issue even in the easier contexts.

    What if the event doesn't require tickets? Does that remove them from the information requirement? For example, does the City of New Orleans have to put content warnings for what a dance group might do in a Mardi Gras parade (BTW, there is no nudity allowed in the main uptown parades for those who think Mardi Gras is all about nudity, and people often bring children despite the fact that there are dance groups with adults often dancing somewhat suggestively and with some sort of a sex pun as a name)?

    Well, given that nobody did that, yes, you would be the one lying when you claim somebody did. If somebody had done that, then you wouldn't be lying. But that isn't the case. And you know that isn't the case at this point. But you continue to claim it. Thus, it is lying.

    Ok
    My point was that you alluded to there being fake female genitalia without backing it up with a link and then gave the typical lazy answer of asking me to post a link establishing that there weren’t fake female genitalia. Another typical lazy answer from right wingers like yourself is to move out of the state or country if you don’t like it here. As for whether the Christmas drag show (which was back in Florida for the 8th consecutive year) without previous problems, there probably were some raunchy moments, but my guess being that they were less raunchy than one would find at Miley Cyrus, Madonna and similar concerts and way less inappropriate than a zillion movies and Internet stuff.

    It is literally the case. He said YOU. Aimed at ME. Stop acting like it was some vague reference that I misread. Even he isnt claiming it wasnt at me. Only YOU are.

    No link? The legal document/filing is literally linked in the op article. The PDF is there. I guess I wasnt sure what you are asking. The OP is the link.

    you’d think Tilly would the mental acuity not to go the shows that might affront his delicate sensibilities but no. He wants a warning and a warning too for everyone else not as delicate as him. I’ve reconsidered, he shouldn’t let his kids out of the house.

    No, he did not. He said "you culture warriors." Are you individually multiple people that could be labeled "culture warriors?" I already explained that you left out key context from that phrase. And he didn't even attribute the dancing itself to the culture warriors, just the culture that the culture warriors come from.

    Tons of things are a little suggestive but appropriate for children.

    This is from the Lion King, a movie pretty much everyone agrees is directed at children.

    The point is one pushes the boundaries far more than the other.
