Meet Kitty Demure, a drag queen who tells the truth about drag and children
By

Not all drag queens want to perform in front of children. Kitty Demure is honest about what drag performances are about and thinks that sexualizing children is wrong, very wrong.
My theory, which I’ll argue vigorously forever, is that children shouldn’t be near anyone whose primary self-identification revolves around sex. (“I am a gay teacher” versus “I am a teacher.”) The work of a drag queen is all about sex. These are men who culturally appropriate and stereotype women. They often have incredibly vulgar stage names that, thankfully, usually go right over children’s heads (just as I was much older before I figured out that the name “Pussy Galore” in the James Bond film
Goldfinger was actually a risqué joke).
Lately, drag queens have suddenly become Democrat America’s cultural icons. They are everywhere and are being treated as the newest front in civil rights. Michigan’s attorney general,
Dana Nessel, even declared that “Drag queens make everything better,” and opined that there should be “a drag queen for every school.”
The Audubon Society, which ought to be about birds, but has lately obsessed over its founder’s and namesake’s
ancient wrong think, decided that it could best make its case by having a completed untalented drag queen perform his song about birds:
By the way, that performance feeds into another one of my theories, which is that most drag queens (not all but most) are completely untalented but get a pass because...they’re drag queens.
In another desperate attempt at Pride month relevance, the Audubon Society also boasts that
birds and gay culture are a thing. (And it is true that the Yiddish word for a gay man, a
feygele, comes from the ancient German
fogal, meaning bird.)
But not all drag queens believe that they should be performing in front of children, no matter what the Democrats say. Bill, who is
a member of the #WalkAway movement and performs as
Kitty Demure, argues vociferously that the last place a child should be is at a drag show:
