    Both groups had been involved with exploiting children. Percentage comprision of crime/population reflects both in bad lights.

    I don’t think this meme does what OP think it does

        No of children abused by priests are shamefully large. But no of priest are too. So even if there are few cases of child molestation by drag cases, if you’ll calculate on percentage itll look comparable. Both the scenarios will not yield more than 1 percent ( i am taking about higher side)

        That’s why I don’t think that this meme is doing what OP think it does

      Speak for yourself. I would rather leave my 7 years old with any drag queen artist rather than a priest alone in a church. Hell it’s not even close. Just thinking about that makes my skin crawl

        Hmm, would I rather leave a kid with a person from a group known for using their authority to rape children not to mention some of history’s greatest atrocities or a fabulous dresser? That’s a tough one.

        Statistically your kids will be safe with both.

        Liberal night feel safer with drag and conservative might feel safer with a priest.

          The conservative would feel safer with a priest?

          Is that why so many of my churchy friends have to warn each other about not being alone with specific people? Or leaving their children alone with certain individuals?

          Meanwhile I’m still waiting for anyone to provide any evidence of a massive drag queen pedo conspiracy on the level of the the known abuse of the Catholic church, Boy Scouts, college athletics…

          Mate, left/right isn’t some unique American thing, it’s a spectrum of views you fall on.

          Regurgitating whatever shit source of news gave you that information shows to me that you’re into that right wing sphere.

              You don’t show any stats or sources, you’re the one who doesn’t understand how stats work.

                it is funny how tribal people are these days. Not willing to even acknowledge baad actor on their side. People asking for source as no drag person ever got caught in child abuse related crime

              We’re not asking for justifications.

              Justifications are hollow and useless.

              We want evidence. Sources. You’re making claims and not offering a shred of anything tangible as evidence. It’s just one big “trust me bro” and we (or at least I) don’t do that.

      There’s no drag queen church to protect them from their crimes and shuffle them around to another diocese so that they can continue hurting children. I would say that’s the most glaring difference here.

      Okay, cool, so where are your statistics?

      You do realize that literally any “group” you care to create will, in fact, be “involved in exploiting children” if it’s large enough and your definition of “exploiting” is disingenuous enough, right?

      Of course you do. But you don’t care. You just want those scary men in dresses to stop making you feel weird in your pants, don’t you?

      It’s fine. Just go with it. Be one of the girls. Your god doesn’t care, because your god doesn’t exist.
