This essay was the result of some comments I made to a post on Facebook about drag performers who were telling adults not to bring their kids to performances because, well, they're not designed for kids, and it gives critics more reason to accuse all drag performers, and gays by extension, of being grooming pedophiles.
The following comments were among those I wrote as follow-ups to the original comments, which were combined in the above essay, and are archived here to flesh out my thinking and questions on the issue.
