In this episode of the Opposing Views series, I spoke with John Casey and Bryan Slaton about the appropriateness of kids attending Drag Shows. We talked about the extreme political polarization surrounding Drag Shows, their history in the U.S., what age is appropriate for someone to attend a Drag Show, the responsibility of parents, and so much more.  John Casey is the Lead Columnist and Editor-at-Large for The Advocate, the oldest and largest LGBTQ news site in the U.S. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Wagner College in New York City teaching in the Masters of Media Management Program. John's work has appeared in numerous media outlets, including the New York Post, New York Daily News, Pittsburgh Magazine, Adweek, PR Week, IndieWire, Smashing Magazine, and The Ladders. Bryan Slaton is a Texas State Representative. Before entering public office, he was a youth and family minister, and he holds a Master's in Divinity degree in biblical languages. As a State Representative, he works on the Corrections and Urban Affairs Committees. Representative Slaton describes himself as a Christian Conservative, proud Texan, and a defender of liberty.  Thanks for tuning in.
