Democratic Nebraska state Sen. Megan Hunt proposed banning children from attending religious camps in an amendment to a bill banning minors from drag shows Jan. 23.

Hunt proposed the amendment to “make a point” and will withdraw it if it garners enough votes to pass, she wrote Saturday. All–age drag shows, sometimes featuring child performers, have become increasingly popular in recent years, and Democrats and LGBT activists have fought against efforts to restrict child attendance, portraying these efforts as anti-LGBT.

“There is a well-documented history of indoctrination and sexual abuse perpetrated by religious leaders and clergy people upon children,” her amendment read. “For purposes of this section, religious indoctrination camp means a camp, vacation Bible study, retreat, lock-in, or convention held by a church, youth group, or religious organization for the purpose of indoctrinating children with a specific set of religious beliefs. No individual under nineteen years of age shall be present at a religious indoctrination camp.” ...

The whole point and purpose of a drag show is to expose the audience to inappropriate sexual material.  That is not the point or purpose of a religious camp; the fact that some religious figures have used their access to children at these camps to abuse the children does not change that purpose.

Free Vulcan:
This woman has absolutely no self-awareness of just how pervy and sick her logic is.

Looks like NE has their own little AOC.

Is this loon REALLY comparing drag shows to the typical Bible Camp?

Granted,there ARE some Bible Camps out there more "over the top" than drag shows,but they are rare.

No,it is NOT. The purpose is to expose children to what THEY see as appropriate sexual material.

Clearly,to everyone but a VERY tiny minority of the population,what THEY see as "appropriate" is NOT what the vast majority  of us see as appropriate.

I,personally,see NO sexual material from ANY orientation as appropriate material to be taught to children,but if you think it is and you insure that it is taught in an educational manner in order for them to protect themselves,I have no problem with it as long as the parents are monitoring what is being taught.

And I DO think it is better if a professional teaches this than a parent. It is probably too emotional for the typical parent to teach. I still remember my mother explaining the birds and the bees to me. Took me years to understand she was talking about sex.
