Down syndrome ‘drag show’ created by LGBT activist coming to Michigan
LIFE SITE NEWS ^ | AUG 16, 2019 | Doug Mainwaring

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, August 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A public art event in Grand Rapids, Michigan next month will feature men and women with Down syndrome performing as “drag queens” and “drag kings.”

A drag group known as “Drag Syndrome” is comprised of performers with Down syndrome, and is an LGBT activist's attempt to promote so-called “inclusion.” Their performances feature song and dance by men wearing women’s dresses, garish makeup, wigs, and in some cases fake breasts. Women sport beards and men’s clothing.

A local TV channel, Wood TV, reports that "some people may be concerned because people with Down syndrome have limited mental capacity that they might not have the ability to decide to take part or understand what they are taking part in."

The organizers of the show, however, are defending the event.

“We sought them out because they are at the very highest level of disability drag,” said event organizer Jill Vyn of DisArt, a Grand Rapids organization that connects art and people with disabilities.

“Drag has never only been about sexuality,” DisArt co-founder Christopher Smit said. “Drag is about gender performance, drag is about expression. Drag is also about ridding the culture of really damaging stereotypes.”

Drag queen shows largely consist of men dressing as women in order to mock stereotypes of womanhood and femininity.

“Drag Syndrome appears to be part of a broader trend that’s more preoccupied with promoting ‘gender fluidity’ to various groups than genuinely helping those groups,” reported LifeSiteNews' Calvin Frieburg last November. “‘Drag Queen Story Time’ events in the UK and United States feature crossdressers reading and performing to small children in public libraries and nursery schools, while the pro-LGBT media has heavily promoted stories about prepubescent drag performers such as Nemis Quinn Mélançon Golden, also known as ‘Lactatia,’ and Desmond ‘Desmond is Amazing’ Napoles.”

“Down syndrome ... affects a person’s ability to think, reason, understand, and be social. The effects range from mild to moderate,” according to webmd.com.

Viewers of the show, who know that those with Down syndrome did not conceive and put together this troupe on their own, will be left to wonder to what extent, if any, those with Down syndrome who are participating in this event are being exploited by activists to unsuspectingly push the LGBT agenda.

The show is scheduled to be performed at September 7, at 7:00 PM.

Apart from the moral and psychological issues with all of this transgender and cross-dressing insanity, it offends my sense of aesthetics. It is simply garish, ugly, and aesthetically repulsive.

[[Absolute proof that evil can ONLY do evil!!!! Worthy only of God’s ultimate wrath!!!!]]

Gramma- it’s only going to be worse for these people IF they don’t get saved- in hell, there will be NO Restrainer, and the evil that will emanate from these God rejecters will be many times greater- proving they deserve to be in hell- forever separated from God for the choice they made to reject Him out of hate- their whole eternal existence will be utter hatred because they will be unrestrained by any sense of morality since the restrainer, the Holy Spirit, will no longer be their consciences

Doubly abusive.

The left keeps raising the stakes of depravity and calls it love.

On the other hand, if God tells you to get vengeance in His name, do you have a choice? :^)

I saw where there is going to be a reality TV show about some drag queen.

Sounds like abuse and a “freak show”.

Are those participating actually gay or just being exploited for “the cause”?

That is utter bs.

The exploitation of mentally challenged individuals here is disgusting. I would hope NO ONE attends this event.

The accompanying images as linked, above, are more horrifying that I could have imagined. This mockery of these people is despicable.

This is what happens when society decides to tolerate depraved behavior. The envelope will always get pushed.

Abortion is a good example. Society thought it was reasonable to tolerate abortion in the first trimester. But abortion advocates pushed for second trimester and just to shut them up, society agreed to that as well. But of course, it doesn't stop there. Now we are actually talking about KILLING INFANTS after they have already been birthed.

You see, they will never stop.

Lines must be drawn.
