I'm out of the loop. What's going on?
- Drag queens reenacted a painting of a Greek scene at the Olympic opening ceremonies.
  Christians naturally thought it was about them and started crying persecution, other bigots took advantage of the fray to attack the LGBT community.
  The world rejoices at another opportunity to mock the latter into oblivion.
  TLDR; The usual
  
  There's serious "this photo of a buff woman completely derailed a podcast about the state of the white man for three episodes" energy around this image
  
  the problem we (although i can only speak for myself) have is that this is not appropriate for kids. i don’t have any problem with what people do in private, but this being broadcast to the whole world with no age restriction is the problem.
  
  What exactly is a child seeing that is inappropriate? It’s a bunch of people dressed funny. They aren’t blowing each other on the runway.
  
  there’s literally a guy with his balls out in the posted picture.

  i don’t have any problems with anyone holding hands at the park, my problem is that the guy in the back has his balls hanging out.
  
  That's a hole in his costume, not his balls hanging out. The closeup shot shows the hole. Watch the video and you'll see it. No one was showing off their junk.
  
  Side note, do you have a link to the full video? I had to use a VPN to try and find it and got terrible quality.
