What's weird, Byron, is that we Americans have our own traditions of cross-dressing as acceptable public entertainment.

I grew up watching celebrities like Jonathan Winters appear on The Tonight Show in full drag, as mainstream comedy. In the 1970s.

And conservative Americans are as likely as anyone in the English-speaking world to enjoy Monty Python.

I could go on citing American examples right up to today, but I'll abstain for fear of boring you.

This right-wing obsession with drag queens is brand new. Opposition to drag in the public square is not a traditional American value, as much as anti-LGBTQ activists like to pretend that it is.
