In the prior post, I noted that legislators could be looking at pushing back on kids attending drag shows using liquor licenses as a preventative hammer. Which is ironic, because it comes at the same time that a national LGBTQ+ group has announced that they’re coming to SD to train more candidates after a bill that targeted drag shows at public universities was debated.
According to Dakota News Now:
..a national, nonprofit group based out of Washington, D.C., that tours the country to recruit and train LGBTQ+ political candidates is coming to Sioux Falls on Saturday for the Sioux Falls LGBTQ+ Leadership Summit.
and..
He attended a four-day LGBTQ+ Victory Institute training course in Portland, one of three that group stages per year. Events like Saturday’s one-day course in Sioux Falls occur four times per year.
Given those tools from the Victory camp — and some financial backing by Victory’s sister PAC, the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund — Nelson finished second place in a new district that sends two members to the House of Representatives.
and..
“We play the long game at Victory Institute, so we know that this is a war, not just a battle. Most importantly, we need to send a clear message that we are not going back. We are not going to take an off year. We’re not going to stop running for office.”
With one side of the culture war recruiting candidates to beat Republicans because they vote against drag shows , and the other side fighting to keep kids from being exposed to drag shows, it looks like South Dakota is firmly in the crosshairs of the national culture wars.
Should make for an interesting election in 2024.
This link is SO stupid and woke it’s unbearable… yet it’s a major bellwether demonstrating how the Powers That Be want to “steer” our society (and South Dakota) into kinked-out norms. It’s demonic at source…guaranteed! https://twitter.com/OliLondonTV/status/1658820339646734336

Are you talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend… Brian Glenn… who said “I may keep the pantyhose on. It does feel kind of good actually.” That boyfriend? The one who is in a video doing drag?
I think it was on live TV. Probably “grooming” all of those children who were watching.
OMG. This is just too damn funny.
And Jesus drank wine, had long hair and wore a dress. Can you imagine him walking into this year’s Minnehaha County Republican Dinner. Holy dreadfuls… wouldn’t that be something to see?
The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me even though I should be accustomed to the lunacy of the Left by now, but the claim that Jesus wore a dress may very well may be the dumbest thing that I have heard or read.
It is elk that made the statement so…
If Jesus showed up at your dinner wearing a “tunic”, you would have him escorted out. You know you would. (Yes, even that idiot elk knows what it’s called.)
Of course you do. You’re so smart looking up what it’s called.
Not exactly. I had to go to church so often as a child that it kinda felt like waterboarding.
jc wore the gender-appropriate profession-appropriate garb of his day, as far as we can know.
“garb of his day”
Middle Eastern attire? Scottish or Irish kilts? Suits for women? Are they on the pre-approved list of acceptable garb?
i only work from what little i can know sir.
It’s just elk being obtuse as usual.
~ And Jesus drank wine, had long hair and wore a dress. ~
Were you there to see it?
I don’t get the point. Just run a campaign and stop making it about your self-identity and talk about the real issues.
Every one of you saw drag on TV or in the movies when you were young. Well, that’s if you grew up in the last seventy years or so. I suppose you felt “groomed” or something?
Puritanical pansies.
The stated goal is to recruit at least one person from every LGBTQ+ subgroup to run for a seat: one lesbian, one gay, one bisexual, one transgender, one queer, and one + (other sexual identities including pansexual and Two-Spirit). It could make for a very interested election cycle in communities sympatetic to gender issues like Brookings, Vermillion and SF.
I kept hearing from RINOs that this stuff doesn’t happen here? But yet here it is again and again. Shame on the senate for not taking action and refusing to smoke out the bill last session
Pray tell how exactly would the senate bar outside groups from coming to train potential candidates? Wouldn’t such a ban also encompass Christian groups coming in and training candidates as well? Grow up and quit such emotional and unconstitutional knee-jerk reactions.
bans are a great freedom-caucus priority.
