Drag Queens: Stay Away From Schools. You Too, Victoria’s Secret Models.

Drag Queens: Stay Away From Schools. You Too, Victoria’s Secret Models.

Kerry Dougherty

Winsome Earle-Sears fearlessly waded into liberal-land Friday night when she appeared on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Virginia’s lieutenant governor was lit! On a variety of subjects.

It was her explanation of why she - and most normal people - object to drag queen story hours in schools that garnered the most attention.

She’s exactly right. Parents get to decide if they want their kids exposed to drag queens. Not teachers, not schools, definitely not the government.

For the record, I don’t think Victoria’s Secret models or Chippendale dancers ought to be reading to kids in school, either. Reading to children should be just that, reading to them. Not drawing attention to your own peculiar lifestyle and hobbies.

If adults want to watch men dress up like sluts and stars and shake their booties, fine. But these highly sexualized shows should not be in schools or the public square or anywhere children could be exposed to them.

Here’s my real problem with drag shows: they’re just a gender version of minstrel shows.

Like the old blackface routines that ridiculed African Americans, these shows mock women, portraying them as all lips and nipples and sequins.

They reduce womanhood to a comic caricature.

You know who else is doing the same thing? The trans celebrity du jour, Dylan Mulvaney. This pixie-ish man decided about a year ago that he was a “girl” and embarked on a TikTok project he called “Days of Girlhood” chronicling his change, including facial surgery to make him appear more feminine.

Mulvaney boasts about 10 million followers on the Chinese spyware app where he often prances around in women’s underwear acting stupid.

It’s cringe-inducing stuff.

Like Winsome Sears, Mulvaney was in the news this weekend. Not because he was making sense, though.  Quite the contrary.

Apparently Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, has gone woke, hiring the TikTok star to be the face of its watered-down version of beer. To celebrate, Mulvaney released two ads. One where he pretends  doesn’t know what March Madness is - because females don’t follow sports, of course - and another where he’s in some sort of bubble bath in a bikini.

Watch for yourself and tell me if this makes you want to run out and buy a six pack of Bud Light:

This is one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen on social media.

Not something I’d want to explain to my 7-year-old granddaughter. Not something I’d ever watch again.

Any predictions on how long the marketing genius that came up with this insane promotion keeps his - or her - job?
