Drag queens banned from Pride event 'because they may offend transgender people' - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;48260834]Because all they do is "Haha look at me isn't it bizarre that a man is dressing up like a woman?" and then they try to compare themselves to actual transgendered people. Drag Queens are fucking pathetic[/QUOTE] no they dont

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;48261044]You are all taking my words [I]way[/I] too strictly. My entire point of it not being their identity is that they don't live their lives as is. Of course it's a part of who they are, them having the characteristic of "likes doing drag," but it's not how they go out express themselves in real life. That's my entire point.[/QUOTE] LegndNikko, unless you wear womens clothing and identify as a trans person every day and in every social function, you are not a trans person or crossdresser, and you should be excluded from gay pride. Does that sound fun? It's pretty much what's happening to the drag queens.

Black face was white people specifically ridiculing the savage and unintelligent negro. Drag is people acting and dressing the way they want because gender norms are fucking bullshit. Comparing the two is just absurd.

[QUOTE=Pascall;48261017]why are you putting trans in scare quotes[/QUOTE] Because I for one think it's very silly, and refuse to acknowledge as anything official because of it. This shit used to be solved with simple therapy, but now people are cutting themselves up and taking pills that only serve to further damage their psyche. It's a madhouse. [QUOTE=Aldawolf;48261075]I'm against the ruling but this is a very bad post either way[/QUOTE] How? I'm not exactly using any fallacies.

[QUOTE=Megadave;48261097]So drag queens are sorta the black face for transexuals?[/QUOTE] Only if you take the bigots at their word. There's really no reason to hate on drag queens. None. People here are just pretending being trans gives them the privilege of shitting on another group

Holy hell the irony on this thread. Just let people be whatever they want to be jesus christ, they're not hurting anyone. You're free to dislike a group of people even if it makes you a bigot, but banning it from an event that's supposed to be about pride and feeling good about oneself is dumb.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;48261197]yeah man back in my days we just sent gays to the camps, now they're all kissing and sodomizing each other it's pure degeneracy[/QUOTE] Back in the good days, nobody gave a fuck. People laid with each other regardless of their features, and only stuck around if there was true love. It was simpler times, then. Now it's a big deal for liberals to praise it like it's a revolution, and the conservatives to damn it as if it were an issue. I really wish the press would stop distracting us with such nonexistent issues, and let us focus on more important things, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership program.

So it seems to me that this is like blocking a guy in blackface from participating in a black rights march.

Just let drag queens be drag queens and trans folk be trans folk. They're different subsets of people and neither should be banned to smooth someones feelings. Banning people because you don't like them is rather anti-pride.

Back when interracial marriage was illegal, when being outed as homosexual was pretty much a one way ticket to social hell and when women were treated as second class citizens. We should totally not praise the idea that people should be treated equally, that would be just plain wrong. Instead we should focus ALL of our attention to other things that I deem to be of the utmost importance damn everything else because it's not like there can be a bunch of different social issues! But really, what good old days are you talking about?

This topic and discussion is giving me a headache, anyone else feel so? For some reason I get that every time there is a LGBT thread in Sensationalist Headlines. So far from my perspective both sides of this discussion have done too many assumptions about ether side. I mean, drag queens has been with Pride since the beginning right? And trans people getting offended has a right to complain, but in the end I have to say like several people before me in the thread, so this is basically a repeat but isn't Pride and LGBT about acceptance? Even I did assumptions, why? Because I don't know.

[QUOTE=Zero_;48260510]As a trans-woman, I can't stand drag queens.

Female drag queens can exist too, they call them faux queens.

I find drag queens to be absolutely awful. Like someone stated above, drag queens are basically the worst. When the media wants to paint trans people in a bad light, they use drag queens to turn us into a mockery. Also, I've met several people that think trans people look like drag queens and its literally the worst. :suicide:[/QUOTE] These posts are disturbing and ironic, but it's only fair to say not all transgender people have been posting like that in this thread.

That's ridiculous. I was at Bournemouth pride, they performed there and it was great. I can't get my head around why people dislike drag queens and the people who work as them. One of the bars I am down at weekly is the most popular gay bar in Bournemouth and it is staffed by 3 drag queens. and I am friends with 3 other ones. They have nothing against transgenders. I have yet to meet any who are. Males dressing up as females have been around for... 100's of years? In terms of entertainment for plays and so on, that's what drag queens do. Blame the media if anything for not being able to explain the difference between Cross-dressers, Transgenders and Drag Queens. I think it is pretty disgraceful for someone transgender to be so close minded and against someone else's enjoyment when they aren't setting out to hurt other people.
