Just days after Tennessee Governor and drag ban signee Bill Lee had his dragged up yearbook photo revealed, another staunchly anti-drag lawmaker is having his spangled laundry aired out.
Rep. Nate Schatzline has authored and led the charge for his own anti-drag bill in Texas, joining the record number of anti-drag legislature being introduced nationwide.
In a video that’s going viral on Twitter and TikTok this week, users got to see Schatzline in full baby drag geish. The lawmaker is seen skipping through a park in a black sequined dress while donning a red masquerade mask in a character called “The Virgin”.
It’s the “#IToldYouSo” for us:

TikTok suspends ‘Drag Race’ alum Jan Sport for dressing up as George Santos dressed as Kitara Ravache
A Brazilian drag performer said that Rep. George Santos wanted to be Miss Gay Rio De Janeiro in 2008, but he was too fat.
The Texas representative quickly blocked the original poster of the video, as if that would make it go away.
Schatzline joins Gov. Bill Lee, messy gal George Santos and more in loud, clear hypocrisy towards drag. When they put on a dress or makeup to play a character and have fun, it’s just good fun. When an LGBTQ+ person does, better clutch your pearls and think of the children!
In typical grifter fashion, Schatzline posted a response video completely dismissing his earlier drag moment as “some class project I did as a teenage where my buddies dared me to wear a dress”
The video’s exactly as cliche as expected, down to the royalty-free YouTube music:

WATCH: Kids react to drag with open arms and open minds in powerful resurfaced video
The video is a heartwarming reminder that the kids are alright—it’s their parents we need to be worried about.
Schatzline’s bill HB 1266 wouldn’t allow anyone under 18 onto the premises of any venue that “authorizes on-premises consumption of alcoholic beverages” and hosts a “drag performance” by forcing them to get classified as a “sexually-oriented business.”
In addition to clubs, any theater/fair/whatever that someone can grab a drink at and hosts anyone performing in the vague definition of “drag” would have to legally classify as “sexually-oriented”. If he’d been making his little movie at Six Flags instead of a park, it would’ve fallen under his oppressive bill’s purview. He stretched well for his turn at the mental gymnastics.
He’s still in his denial era right now, but maybe The Virgin and Kitara Ravache can do a little Chicago-esque sister act someday? The looks would be crunchy, but at least… actually, can’t think of any positives!

It doesn’t matter who you are, or the ‘intent’. It is still drag.
LumpyPillows
I’m not a fan of most drag. That was even worse. It was cringey.
Toofie
Cripes all this banning drag nonsense. To “protect” children, ban churches and schools since that’s where most of child sexual abuse occurs.
inbama
Who could’ve guessed that such an imbecilic idea would cause us so much trouble?
dbmcvey
Yeah, the idea of banning drag is really stupid.
Chrisk
You do realize that Drag and Trans are just the beginning of their agenda right?

@Chrisk
Which is why you use your brains, choose your battles, avoid unnecessary provocation and keep your loons in line.
We won’t allow gay and lesbian cops to march in a pride parade in uniform, but we’ll fight to the death for Drag Queen Story Hour.
This movement is run by idiots.
barryaksarben
you are there imbecile here.Exactlty, who do YOU think is so called running things for us and choosing these ridiculous and embarrassing things to promote when we should be hiding them out of shame. Get Fn real. We support FREEDOM. that may get messy as you may not have evolved enough in your particulars but most of us have, so when we see such and inane stupid comment like these it hard to love a sister, I mean di I mis a voter or is ELLEN still in charge? I hop[e for your sake you are good looking cuz honey you aint got it upstairs. What we MUST do when they say they are protecting children form drag artists is to point out the much much higher incidents of religious leader who are OUT and out pedophiles who have actual victims that they should focus on or name the exact drag queens who are molesting children. Have you NEVER met a true drag queen, cuz it dont sound like you do, and drop the shaming of other who are harming NO ONE

@barry, I had trouble following your diatribe. I think I did glean a few points that seemed off balance.
No idea about inbama, but I know a lot of drag queens and, no I would not say they are the people I would trust with kids; not even my go to people to watch my cat. I rarely turn my back on them when they are in drag – very hands. How many drag queens do you know? Still, I think banning them is a bad idea…I just don’t think it is the hill to die on, as imbama said.
The entire, “you have more pedos” than we do is a dumb argument. No pedos is the goal. Kind of like saying allowing kids to play with guns is a terrible idea, why not let them play with knives. Not the best analogy, but it isn’t the worst.
While I am sure there are a few drag performers who are wonderful with kids, it is not something I think is a good idea, in general. Why, because I actually know drag queens.
I would love to ban all religion…so there is that.
I love the language of the left, it is more poetic than the more brutal language of the right. We now have “drag artists”. I almost spit my coffee out when I read that.
Bosch
It’s not so much “you have more pedos” as it is “you forgive actual child abusers and you try to lower the age restrictions on marriage, while branding anything remotely gay as grooming”.
There are abusers everywhere. But there is only one party that protects them and uses the rest of us as scapegoats.
LumpyPillows
No argument, Bosch. Just a different issue.

This is the best articles nowadays. So Writing in the elemental state can separate and guide people to the past or future, through thought. Likewise, a book, an article can influence people, place the reader in a bubble where they are dominated by the author’s ideas for better or worse. However, for an AI to only be able to type characters b.i. (before the internet) or in as depraved a way as CNN or Foxnews would do is absurd. Chatgpt should be developed as a time machine or simulator that takes the consumer to that place in history or to that world physically and not just mentally, because in its current stage it shows little intention in artificial intelligence. Expressly, the worst thing is that people are beginning to be afraid of AIs because the hypothesis of stupidity is much more anecdotal and reckless. Now to distance (discriminate) people and place them in bubbles where they can be manipulated, the media are already there. But before talking about them and reaching that age where “everyone behaves like idiots”, one must subtly seize the phrase of Proust’s friend, Bloch: “Living so far from atmospheric and physical contingencies that the body no longer even try to explain them.” Or paraphrasing Marcel: custom came to modify everything, custom can taught the cruel mirror to be compassionate, to the clock that showed him how time passed with its squeak to be silent and to completely dislocate thought, since feeling and thinking are both things very sad. You could also emulate Amy Winehouse and “I should care, I should go around whipping. I should care, I should get it upset me, but it’s just doesn’t get me” but you can’t. Being a coward and letting the futility of life become the decadence of society is not the right thing to do, you have to learn to remember and reach what is called justice and truth. On Twitter it can find certain vestiges of truth just as it could create entire books with the thoughts of users who think they are so genuine and clear in their thoughts; there are in that a million ways to capture human thought and in particular the alien of the white house (because of his exaggerated head) Jake Sullivan, in him there is a genuine form of the great gringo mind and that is where the improbability is shows. Another example is the almost owner of Twitter, Musk’s, by Hollywood when he was not so popular he was called a philanthropist when he appeared in Big bang theory at charity events and before buying Twitter he made a joke and a laugh with ending world hunger. In two stages he demonstrates how a human being can be stupid and good in different periods. Great events where the rich show their great thoughts. But it is true that this homo sapiens is not the worst. If you have to take the most powerful man to criticism, you have to remember that he is the biggest imbecile and has money, power and is or was the president of the third gringo empire (because he is duplicated by 2).
Not to shut up, Biden and Trump are exactly the same. On Twitter in distant and parallel periods both have done or said stupid things “I can’t believe I have to say this, but please don’t drinks bleach” the same president could not define a continent/country America in a single word. And not to mention that Trump never accepted that he lost. Like Trump, Biden does not deserve a second term. Someone who does deserve to be president is Pete Butigieg because he is decent, he has shown them: first, that this function exists (which they didn’t even care about before) and also because their continent (sic) is not perfect as they usually say that is. They Hide a Disaster for Another The United States destroyed a gas pipeline (creating a huge environmental problem) and to hide it produced a catastrophe in their own country or was it just karma? The other option could be Ivanka Trump or Megan Mccain or MTG. But these Americanism-talking Republicans, reminiscing about the near past, kicked out a congresswoman for her anti-Semitic comments while all the Republicans on Foxnews talk bad about the Jew Sanders. So there the duplicity of the Republicans is so ironic that it stinks. Marjorie Taylor Green needs 3 things to claim a higher position: a feminized chin, a personality, and more boldness. The bitch didn’t realize that she had the perfect way to impeach Biden just like Biden sanctioned Iran. But the Republicans are very short-sighted, which is why they will never beat the Democrats in lying, cheating and extorting. And that Biden is a lousy leader.
Biden is roughly backed by the Russia-Ukraine war, which is pathetic. There is his great achievement, a stupid war when there are millions of much more interesting ideas to have control of the world. A NASA documentary mentions that a single solar flare can have more than 1 million nuclear bombs then China because it uses balloons like the United States to spy, if you could control the world if you create an artificial sun. Or better, for there to be life on earth, the moon should not fall on earth if the North Koreans feel threatened, why would they go to war with the south? if they can point up. And finally, if all the time lines show how precise intelligence is in being absorbed by power, to control everything a time machine is necessary where whoever develops it has the whole world at his feet. But, what does war matter when both Russian Jews, as well as nazi European or American Democrats pay more attention to stupidity than to union. They haven’t realized that they don’t really control anything. Time, the true enemy of all humans, time given to Biden and Putin and Zelensky: sight, speech and thought and time will take them away. Time gave you the power to stand and walk and it will take it away. Just like Queen Elizabeth disappeared, time will disappear them. Time, to which stupidity is indifferent, but evilness returns to in a genuine way, like a sweet revenge cake called karma, will return to these leaders everything they are: nothing. Time has them alive and just like Tsar Nicolás “the great” the Russians will perish, as will the gringos, the Chinese and all the idiots who believe they are superior and do not know that intelligence is what should be debated and sought. Idiot wars that are waged to please idiots like Biden, Putin, Zelensky and all European leaders should not be supported.
And speaking of idiots, we must talk about Latin American leaders starting with Bolsonaro who, after destroying his country, lives as an immigrant in the United States, but since he has money, he is not a migrant, he is an entrepreneur, that is capitalism. Then there is Argentina and Chile leaders, countries with almost zero development thanks to their European influence (the Europeans are the worst of the worst). Followed by Peru that lives with a dictatorship called Boluarte supported by the president of the United States, like the dictatorship of Israel and England. In the case of Bolivia, El Salvador, Mexico, Colombia, governments with a quite questionable development in some matters due to the support of the right wing party to destroy and keep their population poor. In extreme cases, Ecuador with a corrupt and mafia president supported by the United States for his connections to money laundering (Guillermo Lasso) and finally Cuba, which can now be called states affiliated with the People’s Republic of China.
But how all the presidents have a taste for power and money because most of the politicians are corrupt, they do not realize that the union is the most important thing to find solutions to the problems, so only the people can save themselves the presidents are and will be shit.
Finally, paperlamas.

Also, you must be out of your mind if you believe that when a drag queen is reading a children’s story to children, she’s being “sexually explicit.” My eyes cannot stop rolling.

Typical GQP hypocrite. Even their propaganda network Faux News was exposed on the Dominion lawsuit to be complete and total liars and hypocrites. The GQP is a dangerous cult, like the Catholic Church

On NPR today, they mere talking about police misconduct. And I said to myself, I wonder if there is a drag queen somewhere out there that goes by the name of Miss Conduct.

There’s only one place where men in dresses are sexualising children, and it’s not drag shows.
Why doesn’t the GQP do something about the actual pedophiles in their party?

Children have been in churches for millennia. Drag queens with children is a new social phenomena. In many ways drag queens and repressed homosexuals in the clergy are very similar kinds of men. Unpopular opinion, but I think many of you have your heads up your…
