Coming from the master of pathetic retorts, that's a compliment. Meanwhile, could I suggest that we dispense with the ad-hominem personal attacks and get back to the subject of the thread, which (as you can tell by the title) is "Drag Acts at the Guild" rather than "Offshoremanxman lashing out at others as usual because he's depressed and feeling especially inadequate today". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's a forum. I understand from your initial post that you feel threatened (or possibly excited) by the idea of a Drag Act, and opened it up to discussion with your insightful, perceptive "WTAF ?". Part of that discussion is contrasting ideas that might not agree with you. If you don't get that that's how forums work, then a forum is probably not the place for you. Try just throwing some bricks through some windows or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all look like you’ve just shat your pants”.. At which point there are audible sharp intakes of breath from the audience whilst 3 members of the Port St Mary Mothers Union Wednesday Club pass out with shock. Meanwhile, someone has WhatsApp’d a photo to the Daily Mail news desk and within an hour Social Services have been called. That said, there’s no such thing as bad PR.. Picture this, a bunch of people go to the Guild, watch the bits they're interested in, have a nice time, and then go home. Truly terrifying stuff, obviously. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly terrifying stuff, obviously. I think I've bleated a lot on other threads about how there's an IOM viewpoint that everything dated has to be preserved, often for no apparent reason that makes any sense financially. I guess the Guild is moving on, recognising that it can't rely on elderly aunts looking for something to watch (other than snooker) to make up the bums on seats. Have to admit I'm not a fan of RuPaul or the drag shows on TV, but they're big with da kidz, and attract sizeable audiences. It would be remiss not to accept that audience tastes are changing, and to capitalise on it, even if it makes your Aunt Marge clutch her pearls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no one would. It’s a good thing. But why do it whilst wearing a drag costume? Doesn’t make sense. If you took your child to Onchan park to have a a go on the boating park., would you expect a male attendant calling “ come in number three your time is up” to be dressed in drag costume?

I think the protests are more about this. Please note, this is just something I read elsewhere. I am not staying it is fact, but it was raised on another discussion I saw about why people have objections ”Aida H. Dee - has previously stated that they were friends with another drag queen who was convicted of raping a child, and that he wears the rapists jewellery to some of these children’s events” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
