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.
Every time you think they've hit bottom, they come up with something even lower.
“soles” are on the bottom of your shoes
Try “souls”
“Both pathetic and hideous!”
Evil is the proper label.
Homosexuality is the sharp tip of Satan’s spear; where it penetrates, much greater damage follows.
America needs a Christian revival, badly.
America is headed for the exact same fate as Sodom.
The people have been warned over & over, and they mock, scoff and could care a less.
Our nation is begging for Divine Judgement. Christians (what’s left of them) are the only thing holding it back.
This breaks my heart. Using people with chromosomal disorders is about as low as you can get. Can the Left sink any lower? I’m sure they can.
Just when you think Liberals (Democrats) can’t stoop any lower ... once again they LOWER the bar.
“Can the Left sink any lower? I’m sure they can.”
Yes, they can and will. Faggotry, abusing children, abusing the mentally ill, abusing the old, abusing animals (‘happiest country’ Demark has a 5% beastiality rate)...
But, straight Christians are the scourge of the world.
attempt to promote so-called “inclusion.”
When they did the stress test, all the customers lined up outside were white. Normal operations resumed a day or two later, and all the customers lined up outside were black.
I agree with the postings I see here. But yours really stood out to me because I believe this information should be highlighted.
“...men dressing as women in order to mock stereotypes of womanhood and femininity.”
Once an autistic child, especially one with Downs Syndrome gets set into a routine way of doing things, it’s very hard to break them from that compulsion to complete the ritual.
There will be many inner struggles, even if/when the child knows the payoff is not one that makes them happy.
The drive to do exactly as before will still be there for a good while.
Knowing this hurts so much !!! I have a beautiful granddaughter with Down Syndrome who just turned 12. My fists clench at the mere thought of someone hurting her in any way!!! I want this evil, these destroyers of innocence, to just GO AWAY!!!! Be eradicated......forever!!!! Lord God, how much longer must we wait?
America needs a good rapture badly.
Re:beastiality.......I was sickened when I discovered that my son-in-law’s teenage sister prides herself for being “pan” sexually (anyone and anything goes). So much for “esteemed” private school Catholic “education “ !!! What’s most disturbing though, is that this teenager has possible daily influence over my 9 year old granddaughter, and no one is worried about it, and I’m not there to protect her. Just makes me sick!!!!
It should make one sick. Pray hard. Satan is fiddling fiendishly and many are dancing in a trance.
Does this mean midget bowling is acceptable again? Just trying to keep my Taboo List current. Although I probably just inappropriately appropriated someone’s culture by using the word Taboo....
The only thing worse than the activity, is the trusted family or caregivers who allow this to happen at all.
Too many judges would be willing to look the other way because of their devotion to all things gay or non-standard.
