...sort of. It was a school play, and one of the kids was dressed in drag (a boy, playing a large matron). It was humorous, and harmless, and also a lot of fun.
I think that part of the problem with these debates is that each side is shooting with birdshot rather than range bullets -- hitting a broad sweep of targets when there is really one problem that they are angry about, ensuring an angry reply.
Parents are upset that LGBT activists seem to be sexualizing and indoctrinating kids. LGBT advocates (including some parents) are worried that any expression of alternative sexuality or identity is being attacked, which is a form of bullying.
Theoretically, everyone cares about the kids -- at least, this who are sincerely participating in the debate. But we can't come to an agreement, because kids evoke all kids of protective emotional responses -- and because we're sloppy.
As I was reminded last night, some drag shows in school-- as long as they're not sexual in nature -- are fun, entertaining, and may even serve an educational purpose (in this case, keeping the audience interested in a play about history).
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
