I find it really rich that the parents are all: Ohhh, we encourage him on his way, yaddah, yaddah. Well, for this you do not have to take your kid to Drag Clubs. If little Nemis (or so) wants to play princess and dress up, with make up and stuff, then let him do. At home, let him have princess skateboard parties or what ever. Like millions of girls do around the world. No need to get him to a Drag Club and let him rob around on the catwalk in more than just slightly suggestive poses, among really lewd folks.
And great, the only opposition comes form anti-gay Christian right wingers. Who have at least in this a point that a night at a drag club is not for eight year olds. But I guess the oh so progressives keep quite and don't dare to speak up, because then they would be Transkilling Cis-Het-White-Facist-Nazi Hypocrites, and be dragged to the next stake to be burned in the name of Inclusion and Progressiveness.
