I wonder why trans, gays and their ilk feel the need to tell children about their sex lives?

The Federal 'Judge' basically has ruled that grooming little kids is protected by the Constitution!
Makes me wonder if the 'judge' has some type of personal interest in all of this?

As long as this is all entirely voluntary, who cares?
Don't worry about bad parents fucking up their kids. Worry about government fucking up your kids.

Actually, that might be the point. Aren't there already laws in place around indecency in front of minors, or attempting to groom kids? Just enforce those.

For the first time, you might want to listen to a drag queen.
A federal judge’s ruling that drag shows in front of children in Tennessee will go on after declaring the state’s first-in-the-nation law banning them as unconstitutional has been met by applause and cheering from LGBTQI+ advocates.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Parker outlined in his 70-page ruling that “despite Tennessee’s compelling interest in protecting the psychological and physical wellbeing of children,” the law known as the Adult Entertainment Act is an “unconstitutional restriction on the freedom of speech.”
Parker also set out the law was both “unconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroad” and encouraged “discriminatory enforcement.”
The law would have banned adult cabaret performances from public property or anywhere minors might be present. Performers who broke the law risked being charged with a misdemeanor or a felony for a repeat offense.
