So, a complaint has been filed against a restaurant in Florida citing a 1947 State Supreme Court decision.
According to the article, the video shows what appears to be a transgender dancer leading a young girl by the hand and walking through Respondent’s dining area,” the complaint states. “The dancer’s buttocks were fully exposed, and his ‘g-string’-style bikini bottom was stuffed with dollar bills — a practice that is commonly known to occur at strip clubs. The dancer’s breasts — unmistakably female in appearance — were also fully exposed… which were covered with adhesive ‘pasties.’” ¹
Now, I admit I find that troubling, BUT I would also point out that this is not a captive audience at school. This is a business, on a Sunday. Presumably, no children are there without parental approval.
And as is now customary in this wretched country, they are receiving baseless accusations and threats.
Finally, I think this is, at least in part, politically motivated.
So what is it folks? Is this overreach by Desantis? Or, is it somehow different? Remember, we don’t like government interferring in our parenting OR our businesses.
Right?
¹-This can be seen at their twitter account. It is as bad as you think it is.
If it is as bad as I think it is, as you say, then the state needs to step in and protect the children, even possibly from their parents.
I suppose this is where Twitter gets all upset if someone says “groomer”.
Ummm…do you really see this as an attack on trans people…like if they can’t strut their stuff to children, can they ever be free?
The longer DeSantis feuds with Twitter, Disney, or weird clubs, the longer he can avoid talking about anything hard. Two more years of this is going to be awful.
How old was the girl in question? Young girl could cover a wide age range.
However with that said I would not be comfortable in taking my children even as adults to a female strip joint so a drag show where the queens seem to be effectively imitating strippers would also be out for me.
Are parents allowed to bring their children into strip clubs? Even if it’s ok with the parents, are they allowed? If you find this “troubling”…then listen to yourself because you are correct and where parents are failing, they too must be properly guided in this instance.
Let’s be crystal clear here: protect the children from what, exactly? Butts, boobs, and pasties?
Absolutely. That is a very serious charge to level, especially if based as it is on nothing more than “behavior we don’t like”.
Of course it is an attack. On the face of it, this is an assault on the performer’s 1st Ammendment, as well as the parent’s rights to raise their children as they see fit.
