Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested Wednesday that he might urge the state's child protective services to investigate parents who take their children to drag shows.

When asked by reporters whether he would support proposed legislation from a Florida state representative that would punish parents who take their children to such performances, the governor said he has asked his staff to look into the idea.

"We have child protective statutes on the books," the governor said. "We have laws against child endangerment."

I've been to so many goddamn drag shows and I've never once seen a child at any show. Don't these fucking idiots know that most drag shows happen in bars that which do not allow children in? Another dumbass wedge issue by satan's asshole

I can't imagine being an LGBTQ child in Florida in 2022. It's bad enough as an adult in California watching the Abbutt and DeSatan shitshow from afar. But living there would have to be beyond a living nightmare with no end in sight. Everyday, to turn on the news to listen to this toad screech on and on about you and your life, to make you out to be the enemy, to show his lone goal in life is to your yours...

I'd pay real money to watch a drag queen plant her 6" platform heels up his fascist ass.

DeathSatan is a disgusting, unprincipled authoritarian. He's throwing rancid red meat to his base every chance he gets. Listen to the speech by the brilliant Pine View School (Sarasota) student about being targeted in Florida for having curly hair (being gay); with kids like him, there may be hope for Florida. The drag queen story-times that got the Trumpuglicans all worked up were being held at a small, privately owned bookstore, and no one was forced to attend. Apparently very tame and traditional. DeathSatan rants about parental rights until he smells an issue that will get him publicity.

And, yeah, I'd pay to watch, too.

They held one of their meetings at a restaurant that held drag shows at night. And there were kids at the meeting. We all had fun. I guess, next time the meeting will be raided by DeathSentence morality police.

abuse and neglect. At least that is what I hear when an extreme case ends in heartbreaking disaster. Now the narcissistic asshole wants to make it worse. Adding gasoline to every fire earns him the name of arsonist asshole.
