Give your opinion on this. First of all, who lets their kids watch the shows at that point in his life. 2nd of all, I personally think his parents failed him. I don't agree with LGBTQ, but I don't shun them. However, this is just wrong. Thoughts?

Ridiculous. I've softened on my outlook on gay people, but one thing that will never be acceptable is the need for gay males to talk with that weird lilt in their voice. Be gay. I don't care, but why do they feel the need to sound so irritating?
Who cares that some super gay kid dresses up like a chick, and his parents don’t hate him for it?
The sum total of my thoughts? Woof, that kid is super gay. He is going to have a tough life. I wouldn’t want to make his life any tougher. I hope he lives in an area where he is accepted and doesn’t get beat up or whatever. I’m glad he was born in a time when it is less likely he will get his ass kicked every day for being weird. It’s far better for him to have parents that support him, for his sake. That’s it. It isn’t hurting America. It isn’t some big deal. It’s literally as fringe as you can get.
You guys get so super snowflakey over the most meaningless bait. RuPauls drag race? Some of you need to learn to care more about actual stuff that matters. Like.... North Korea is building new nuclear reactors. Get upset about that.

meh, they're not forcing him to take puberty blockers or anything (I don't think). kid just kinda is who he is. my only issue is with the statement that the "future is queer".... if that's the case it's going to be a very short future.
Agree with that last part. The future is not queer, and saying over the top silly shit like that just gets people upset. I think reasonably the most we should aim for is “the future doesn’t really care if you are gay or not.”
the present doesn't really care if you are gay or not, the trans issue is a little different but even that is pretty widely accepted because people are afraid they'll get stoned to death in public if they speak out against it.
Thankfully that is becoming more and more true. I’m STUNNED when I hear about former students coming out, and absolute nobody cares. Nobody. When we (we’ll, I’m in my 40s) were kids that never would have happened. I’m glad; the world is a better place when people can be who they are (not including murderers and all of that, obviously.)
And I’d rather people get stoned for being assholes about other people who have no impact on them than getting stoned for being born different
Best outcome? People can be trans and nobody cares. It’s weird, it’s not for most of us, but wtf, it isn’t hurting anyone, and in the end if nobody get hurt then you are doing well.
Oh. Not sure about that, Brook. I have a feeling that infant mental health experts might tell you to hold off on that stuff, even with a one year old. Just saying. Stick to running people off the road with her in her car seat.
I'll just run the Infant Mental Health Expert off the road while my daughter watches GoT on a tablet in the back seat.
Don't care on this one. Kids dressed as goths back in the day, this is on that same level to me. It just has a gender issue attached to it now.
I don't really care.... but if your weird, you're gonna take some shit. I mean, I thought it was cool to wear shorts over my sweats in 4th grade----it was weird, and i took some shit. Would I feel like a terrible person if I didn't look forward to my son's buddy coming over if he was like that----not one bit. But I certainly don't believe in bullying or being a dick....but you will 100% get some deserved jokes thrown your way if this is your get up.
This is where I am. I don't want to make life tougher for my kids in any way. This is just going to seriously make life hard for this little kid. Shame on the parents for exposing him to this stuff.

meh, i'm not sure transgender people are born different or if it is a result of some childhood trauma or what but we'll just assume that's the case. I don't care what they decide to do when they're adults but this thing of pushing it on kids at an early age, taking puberty blockers, etc. I don't agree with. I think if you're going to start a transition you should have to wait until your brain is fully formed before doing so, might reduce the amount of suicides in that "community."Thankfully that is becoming more and more true.

Also this stuff they're doing in Canada where the government will take your 6 year old away if you don't let him wear a dress is very concerning to me.
Who gives a crap? As long as the kid is happy and unharmed it has zero bearing on anyone else's life.
I wouldn't want my kid to go through what this kid probably will, though.

Pretty sure Canadians aren't taking kids away from their parents at 6 for not being trans-gendered.
You think letting your 2 year old kid watch something like that is acceptable? Yikes. Exposing your kid to stuff like that, at that age, is extremely inappropriate.
Watching that cable tv show likely did not create the feelings to dress in drag. The feelings were there, the show just brought them to light; they would have likely been fulfilled at some point with or without the show. Basically, the show didn't make him a drag queen.
I put this in a similar category as violent media (video games and tv shows). Studies repeatedly show that watching violent media doesn't correlate to violent tendencies. Watching drag queens doesn't make 'normal' kids want to dress in drag.
maybe you're right, heard it a few times on joe rogan's podcast but haven't researched it.
It likely added to this kid becoming what he is today. Again, shame on his parents. Not a chance I would let my kid watch any of those things you mentioned. I don't let them watch much anyway, but it's because they're f'ing kids. They don't need to be watching stuff like that. They need to be playing outside or learning or whatever. Again, poor parenting IMO and it's not even close.
I think they rewrote it so it wasn’t as controversial, but the initial bill made news. Also it was only one province, not all of Canada as I recall.
We probably had different upbringings. This kid was going to be a drag queen at some point in his life. You don't go from totally normal to full blown drag queen cuz you saw a dude in a dress on tv.
I'm not going to be a parent who is overly restrictive of what my children watch or what video games they play because I had relatively few restrictions growing up and I think that is what contributed the most to me being a decent, well-rounded human being. Will I let them go nuts and watch all the porn and murder they want to? Of course not, but I think we give kids far too little credit when it comes to what they're prepared to see and how well they're prepared to process it.
Both of my parents worked, so my sister and I would be home alone for decent periods of time as youngsters. I got to watch whatever I felt like watching. My dad enjoys going to the movie theater and took me along to watch R rated movies in 3rd or 4th grade. I didn't become some pervert or an aggressive kid. My mind wasn't corrupted. When I played Grand Theft Auto for the first time, I didn't decide to go find a hooker to bang and kill. And I'm not the exception to the rule. I had balance. I loved sports and would play them outside for hours upon hours at a time. Then, I'd come inside for the night and play video games for hours at a time. Kids can do both.
are you saying being a drag queen isn't normal bro!?

conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.
"it's quite normal for puppies to bolt their food"

haha, yes, yes I am.
I feel like watching sports with my dad made me want to play sports, but that’s pretty anecdotal.
Yeah apparently that was only in Ontario for kids in foster care. Some right wing websites got ahold of it and made a bigger deal of it than it is. While looking into this I did see where Canada put a comedian on trial with a human rights tribunal for a joke and fined him $42,000. Jesus Christ man... When did liberals (and that's what the Canadian government is) become so opposed to free speech?You think?!
The question is whether or not watching sports with your dad created an interest that wasn't there before or just fed an interest that already existed. I watched Pappyland every morning at my babysitter's house while waiting for the bus. When Pappy Drew It came on, I didn't feel any urge to start drawing stuff.
Masturbating to gay porn made me gay.
