    I guess that's probably what they tried to tell Jackie Robinson back in the day.

    His long career in the Negro Softball League is one of the least known of his many exploits.

    Robinson wasn't trying to play down a division. I fully support the right of anybody to play up to higher divisions if there is a team willing to sign you.

    Agreed. I would love to see Breanna Stewart or Sabrina Ionescu try out to play in the G-League. If one could cut it, it would be phenomenal to watch, and great exposure both for her and her team.

    Frankly, I agree with DeSantis.

    DeSantis applauds state investigation of Miami restaurant with drag shows attended by kids

    Gov. Ron DeSantis is applauding a move by the state agency that regulates Florida businesses to investigate a Miami restaurant and bar that hosted "sexually explicit" drag shows attended by children.

    “We said wait a minute, having kids involved in this is wrong," DeSantis said Wednesday during a press conference in Tampa. "That is not consistent with our law and policy in the state of Florida and it is a disturbing trend in our society to try to sexualize these young people. That is not the way you look out for our children, you protect children, you do not expose them to things that are inappropriate.”

    I hope he also investigates children pageants and all those "miss" this and that things too. But that's different, because they're around straight people. So nevermind.

    Of course ABM agrees with DeathSantis. Children must be taught to hate and fear LGBTQ community. It's the Christian way.

    (If anyone is actually interested, drag shows for children are not sexually explicit.)

    They fear what they don't understand, or more likely the case, they secretly hate about themselves.

    Hmm...I checked my Bible and "fear not" is used 365 times. I don't see any exceptions for LGBTQ folks. I also see Jesus' instruction in Matthew 12:31 to "love your neighbor as yourself". LGBTQ folks are definitely neighbors and, in many Christian denominations, welcomed church members. I think any "Christian" who says differently is likely to have some explaining to do come Judgement day.

    And they don't want to understand what they fear.

    Can you explain what is "sexually explicit" about this?

    It's not about fear in any manner. It's about what do we want our children exposed to - or not.

    There are logical reasons kids aren't allowed in strip clubs.

    Drag Queens don't strip in their shows as far as I know.
