It has been a form of adult entertainment and sexual in nature for years...decades. Is it really a stretch to understand why many people cannot get their heads around the fact that there has been an increase in the attempt to convert it to a form of children's entertainment? They ask why and for what purpose?
Actors have been doing increasingly sexual scenes for years. Maybe we should stop taking kids to movies.
Anyway, that whataboutism aside, in my 4 decades on this planet, I've always had interesting friends and have been supportive to them.
I've been to many drag shows in multiple cities. Most of them are campy AF, but not sexual at all.
Beyond that, my personal childhood: due to my parents's health issues and very VERY messy divorce, I was raised primarily by my grandmother. She owned a beauty supply and wig wholesale and retail business (coincidentally, Disney was one of her biggest customers). She had LOTS of drag queens as clients.
Needless to say that I was exposed to drag culture at a very young age. How young? One of her regular drag customers actually helped me proofread some of my homework before while waiting for a wig that was special ordered to be grabbed out of the warehouse.
Anyway, with that level of exposure to drag, guess what kind of human I ended up as now that I'm a middle aged adult? A straight male who has a wife and kid he adores, works on and races cars for fun, and participates in political, beer, and car podcasts.
So much for the grooming your post implies.
