I'm a conservative independent, but I don't think that.
Indeed, disappointed that she managed to win. And why I'm not a Republican. The party is a mess.You're rare. The "such as" part is meant to mean conservative, right wing Republicans such as Boebert, and they think exactly that.
============
Nothing in politics is as effective as fear. And conservatives such as Boebert know exactly how to weaponize it. The conservative mind is more concerned that a drag queen is entering a classroom to read a story to children than a gunman is entering a classroom to shoot them. And I will never understand that.

This about sums everything up!

Us gays have learned not to wait for or trust LEO's. We're going to handle it when the murderers come into our space, armed or not.
Quote in the article you reference:
Boebert tweeted: “A ‘kid-friendly’ drag show in Texas was guarded by masked ANTIFA guards armed with AR-15′s. Remember, they only want YOUR guns. They want to use theirs to protect their depravity.”
And a poster in here tried to tell me that drag queens weren't marginalized in this country. I'm pretty sure that referring to them as depraved is marginalizing them.
And right-wing-nutjobs look like anybody else. What's your point?I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that poster will tell you that that comment was about guns and fearmongering around guns... and name calling, I don't think the poster feels it is marginalization. Think of all of the things you call right wingers in public and in private. Are you marginalizing right wingers?
The one thing drag queens have going for them, they can take the costume off.
My point about the costume off comment?And right-wing-nutjobs look like anybody else. What's your point?
I mean, if "both sides" are using the word 'depravity', one uses it to describe a drag show while the other uses it to describe armed insurrection.
YesMy point about the costume off comment?
Yes
Drag queens and seditionists can both look like average citizens if they want to.
Do you know that there was a drag show going on at Club Q when the shooting occurred?I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that poster will tell you that that comment was about guns and fearmongering around guns... and name calling, I don't think the poster feels it is marginalization. Think of all of the things you call right wingers in public and in private. Are you marginalizing right wingers?

The way I read it, her intent was to marginalize the whole thing, including those who support it.Seems to me when Boebert uses the word “depravity” to describe the drag show she is specifically marginalizing drag queens. Specifically. And by inference all LBGTQ folks and all the people who attend such shows. How can that not be marginalization?
Coldseat, this is what I mean by being marginalized:Drag Queens are marginalized in the same ways that LGBTQ+ people in general are marginalized. However, because the stand out so much, they definitely receive more ire from the right wing. So in that sense they are more targeted for hatred, case in point.
I'm not really sure what the point of this argument really is. There isn't a marginalization metric and those of us that belong to groups that are generally considered as marginalized don't go around constantly proclaiming how marginalized we are.
