In a recent interview as part of Pride Month, country singer Maren Morris joined drag performers to discuss various topics, including the participation of children in drag shows. The conversation, which was shared on Twitter by Mythinformed, has generated buzz from social media users.
During the interview, the drag performers emphasized that children can now easily witness drag performances, also highlighting that there are a lot more queer and gay-identifying youth in the new generation of kids. This notion has sparked some debate, with critics questioning the extent to which the rise in queer youth can be attributed to social contagion. Mythinformed commented on the situation, stating, "If you don't support kids at drag shows, you are a colonizer", raising concerns about child grooming.
The conversation surrounding children attending drag shows has ignited a broader discussion about societal values and the role of celebrities. Music artist Five Times August took to social media to express their frustration, highlighting what is a prioritization of issues like drag queens and rainbow flags over addressing global pandemic-related challenges.
The ongoing conversation surrounding children attending drag shows serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting parental rights. Why do you think Maren Morris has decided to make drag performance for children her cause?
