Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, August 22, 2025

A majority of Colorado Democrats in the state House voted against a measure that would enhance criminal penalties for indecent exposure in view of a minor, and one state lawmaker claimed the bill could be used to "ban" drag shows and harm transgender people. Outlining her frustrations with the measure from the House floor Saturday, state Rep. Leslie Herod, a Democrat who has represented a Denver-area district in the state House since 2017, said the proposed law uses language like other measures around the nation meant to "target" transgender people.

@#1

imo, having to listen to a press conference of Pres Trump could be considered to be "indecent exposure" to minors, as it seems to encourage lying.

Indecent exposure to minors is already a crime.

So is grabbing them by the pussy.

@#6 ... Having your balls visible during drag queen storytime. ...

If that has occurred, I'd agree.

So, when has that occurred?

Links would help.

thx.

fwiw, a quick visit to my search engine of choice revealed this ...

Drag Queen Story Hour performer did not expose self to kids; social media users spread bogus tale (2022)
www.oregonlive.com

... The Associated Press checks out some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. This one from last week is bogus, even though it was shared widely on social media. Here are the facts:

CLAIM: A drag performer flashed their genitals to children while reading aloud in a Minnesota library.

THE FACTS: The performer in this 2019 photograph was wearing several layers of nude tights, said Hennepin County Library Communications Manager Joshua Yetman. "There wasn't any exposure to children," Yetman said.

As hateful and misleading rhetoric aimed at the LGBTQ community has escalated in recent months on social media, Drag Queen Story Hour events hosted by libraries or bookstores have become a frequent target. ...


So, MAGA just seeming to make up stuff? Again?

And again?

I'll wait for the links your current alias has to the contrary.

thx.

I never said it happened.

I said that's one thing that can be defined as indecent exposure.

@#10,11

Oh, I do agree (as I noted in #7) that those occurrences are worthy of law enforcement involvement. 100%

So I go back to my #1 comment...

... Yeah, what was defined as "indecent exposure?" ...

I'll ask once again, what is defined as "indecent exposure" in this proposed law?

What is your current alias avoiding that simple question?

And, as a follow-up, when have drag queens exposed themselves in such a manner during library reading events?

Yer up ...

Boaz, you don't know what it means to stand behind your word.

Because you know your word means nothing.

Just like when you swore the Oath Of Office, your words meant nothing to you.

Image of child on stripper pole at pride event draws criticism

So then don't let your child go to the Pride Parade.

This is just looking for excuses to be outraged.

Nobody is harmed when children support equal rights for gays and transgenders.

Christopher F. Rufo
@realchrisrufo
"Adult males dress in women's clothing, flash their crotches, twerk to the floor, and swing prosthetic penises at small children in schools and libraries. Here's why conservatives are the bad guys."

This is just right wing propaganda.
What's described here isn't outrageous and neither are the pictures.

Seeing that this is Rufo, it's a given that this actually falls under:

LGBTQ grooming conspiracy theory
en.m.wikipedia.org

The LGBTQ grooming conspiracy theory is a far-right conspiracy theory and anti-LGBTQ trope alleges that LGBTQ people, and those supportive of LGBTQ rights, are engaging in child grooming and enabling child sexual abuse. Although the belief that LGBTQ individuals are more likely to molest children has no basis in fact, this stereotype has existed for decades in the United States and Europe, dating back to before World War II.[1]

I'm not sure which makes you crazier.

The fact that you think drag queens are going around showing their balls to children,

Or the fact that you think Democrats know it's happening and think it's okay and support it.

Both of those are just so far removed from the realm of possibility, and you can't tell that?

If this actually happened there would be arrests.

Nobody except Trump and the men in the Epstein Files and millions of men like them who are emboldened now that a child rapist is in the White House think it's okay to have sex with children.

Drag queens do not show their balls, nor do they show their penises. That is utterly ridiculous and it goes against the very tenets of drag. This idiocy is dreamt up by truly perverted and clueless self-righteous aasholes looking for a reason to hate.

By the way, it's called tucking. You can find youtube videos on how to do it if you really need to know.

Yup.

But the question remains, what do those making these accusations think about all the time?
