I know that. But laughing at yourself while others make a joke about you, and joining in on the joke, is.
 
Does anyone else here, on a regular basis, laugh so hard it hurts? I do, and I know others (not here) who do, also. I am starting to get the idea CAF is a place where people without much of a sense of humor go. Sometimes I really do feel like I stick out like a sore thumb, here.

We are limited in how much humor and fun we can post here without getting flagged, except for the Casual discussion section. So we don’t usually post humorously. Especially on hot button topics.
Please be assured that you are not alone though.

People don’t always find the same things funny. Casual discussion is full of humorous threads and there are even memes so your observation doesn’t sound correct.

I agree. I retract my original comment to you. I promise that I have a sense of humour.
 
Has the OP talked to their parents about finding a better education situation?

Should I be morally opposed to this

I would say yes. According to what I read in the Bible drag shows are mortally sinful, i.e., an abomination to the Lord your God. To say that drag shows are humorous is like saying let’s lighten up about same sex marriage and homosexual activity.
Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.”
And no, I don’t think that God changes His mind about things like this. How can God be unchangeable but nevertheless change His mind from one point in time to another on moral issues?
 
People will claim the Deuteronomy verse you quote is an instruction to a particular tribe.

I don’t agree with that claim.
 
Quite a rude post there and it seems the only person worked up is you. No one here has claimed to be a living a perfect catholic life - why are you making false claims?

What it shows is you have an issue with people who don’t agree with you. You asked why people felt that it was against Catholic belief - you were presented with scripture, articles, links, Vatican documents and then also people’s own personal opinions when you asked for that. You still don’t agree with it (you don’t have to) but rather than state why you don’t agree, you choose to throw personal attacks, false accusations, sarcasm & passive aggressive insults.

It’s not harmless just because it is kids involved. If anything that makes it worse. Where does this 15 year old kid end up in another 10 years?

People should be supporting a young kid who is saying that he is gay - not standing him in front of a room full of people wearing women’s clothes to be laughed at.

I have not vilified the child. I would be holding the school responsible.

I’m actually a little concerned that you are so supportive of a child’s drag show.

What if the child was younger? I’m not posting links because it is vile but there was a very well known story of a a child as young as 10 dressing up in drag and performing not so long ago - do you consider that to be ok as well?

We are talking about a school appropriate act taking place alongside comedy acts to entertain people.

I’ve read replies to the original poster, a 15 year old boy where he has been encouraged to attempt to disrupt the event, secondly to not clap or be involved at all. How is that good advice?

Surely correct advice would be to attend with an open mind, enjoy the comedy show. If there is anything alarming, maybe take the boy who performed a flyer for his local church or a printout of a few passages from the bible to read. To offer to answer any questions he may have about the church.

Let’s picture the scene, if there was an disruption as instructed. Everyone would be like “who is that trying to disrupt the show” “oh him, he is a catholic, objecting to the funny show when the boy was in drag”. “That’s crazy, i was thinking of going to the mass this week for the first time, but I’ll not bother now if that’s what they are like”

What a way at alienate the public

You either didn’t read or you mis read. The person who posted it clarified that she wasn’t intending disruption in the manner that you’re implying. She said he could take his parents and speak with the school about it prior.
 
Yes she said this hours after the original conversation, and after the OP had gone offline.

This “correction” also only cane once I pointed out how crazy it was.

So yes, I did see the little retraction, but that was hours later and the OP it was directed at, will not have seen it.

But you knew that, you were in the forum as I was, when it happened. You know the timeline as much as I do

She didn’t retract. She clarified.

I’m not responding to you anymore, you’re seeking arguments and you just want to pass judgment on anyone who doesn’t agree with you “people claim to be living a perfect catholic life” and “don’t harm the church” just because people’s opinion differs to yours.

If you would like to explain why you disagree with the scripture, links, articles and opinions that have been given then I’ll re engage. If not then I won’t.

Your only reasoning so far has been “because it’s a 15 year old”. If that is your only reason then that is fine but I don’t feel the need to keep discussing it with you.

No one is asking you to reply, and the fact you feel a forum such as this is about drilling your point of view into anyone that posts shows your lack of respect for other members.

You and Jen95 both put your point of view early in the thread, when others put theirs you cant help yourself to respond, again and again.

Repetition is not a valid argument, and the articles linked in the post Jen sent were mainly just opinion pieces written by someone who agrees with you. Posting those does not prove you right.

The Church is about acceptance, about forgiveness and about love. I have seen none of that in your posts about this situation.

I do wish you well, and I will pray for you to allow the qualities I mentioned into your life, and in turn onto your posts on this forum - rather than just fake outrage and judgements

Yes, probably a drag performance in 2020 is going to be a lot like a Pantomime Dame performance.
