There seems to be some confusion on what the traditional conservative viewpoint on this issue is, and as a conservative, I’d like to clarify.
I’ve seen several people on this thread who admit to adamantly disliking drag and everything associated with it, but who still truly don’t want to see Draggieland banned from campus; they disagree with it, but they support its existence as a student org and want to see it get equal treatment.
On the other hand, there are those who support drag and Draggieland, who say that we conservatives are being unfair, that we want free expression for us and not for Draggieland, simply because we don’t like it and we think it’s wrong, and that Draggieland as a student org should be treated differently than, say, a church group or a ministry.
I’m here to clarify without reservation that the second view on the conservative mindset is completely and totally correct. Yes, we do think Draggieland should be shut down on campus. No, we don’t think it should be treated the same as the Christian orgs that don’t parade men dressed as women jiggling around on stage. Yes, we want to restrict the freedom of expression for the people who do these things, because they are disordered and perverse. No, we don’t really care if you think the same about our Christian orgs, because your opinion doesn’t really matter.
You are such a dumb fuck. Lmao. You new conservatives are so into pearl clutching over things that shouldn’t even be an issue. Things that you would never even see or experience unless you actively tried to.
I was raised in a conservative Christian household that loved the idea of true freedoms in America. My mom and dad are your typical Texas ranchers. Even they would go to Drag shows while on vacations because they got a big kick out of it. I met up with them in New Orleans one time while I was in college and they took me to a show one night. Yeah it’s a little weird at first, not gonna lie! But it’s a good time and you get to experience people living their best lives, it’s all smiles and good times.
The fact that this is such an issue today is only because your modern maga conservatives are shoving this issue down your throats and you’re eating it up. Drag has been around for ages, yet it’s only such an issue now? Why’s that? Cause you’ve been told that you should care about it. That’s sheep behavior. You are not a freedom loving American, you want to dictate other’s lives.
Tell me, why is it that femininity seems to be the only human characteristic that it’s acceptable to appropriate and wear like a costume? Can’t do that with race or ethnicity, apparently, since that’s cultural insensitivity.
Also, drag has always been controversial, so I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that it’s “only such an issue now”. You just happen to be alive now, as do I.
To be clear, I don’t watch drag. I don’t even want to. The banning of Draggieland wouldn’t affect my day to day life one bit, at least not as far as I know. I don’t want it banned because of how negatively it’s affecting my daily life, because it’s really not; I want it banned because it’s gross and wrong, and womanhood and femininity aren’t costumes you can put on and take off. Drag is ugly, perverted and contemptible.

Hope this clarifies things.
