No, you're not listening. Again, you're assuming people do drag as a kink/for sexual gratification. That's not the reality. There are lots of reasons to do drag--entertainment, commenting on gender stereotypes, getting to express a part of yourself that doesn't conform to what's traditionally expected of your gender (there is such a thing as drag kings), political activism, and making money as a performer, to name a few reasons.
If a drag queen is doing a library reading for kids or some other event where there's a high likelihood of kids being present, they're not making sexual jokes or comments. If a drag queen makes those jokes at an evening show for adults and a kid happens to be there, that is not on the drag queen. That's on the parents for bringing their kids to a show that's not meant for kids. If a kid goes to a sexually explicit movie that depicts straight people, is it the filmmakers and actors' trying to enact a fetish on those kids? Or does that only apply if the movie depicts gay people?
You're relying on old, harmful stereotypes of gay people as pedophiles, whether or not you recognize it. Most adults-- gay, straight, and everything else out there--are sexual beings, and we all say sexual things and sometimes talk about it in performances, movies, books, etc. Is this inherently enacting on a fetish?
And to answer why drag queens are performing in front of kids, for example, reading a book at a library, it's about kids learning about acceptance of people different from them and because drag queens are like walking cartoon characters and that's fun for kids.
Again, you probably should try to learn about what is actually happening instead of making generalized statements that are based on stereotypes meant to demonize and harm a group of people.

Like the Marriage Equality Act? Or the Loving act, which allowed people of two different races to marry? I think that serves a purpose. It also serves a purpose in holding organizations and employers to account for unfair practices based on ant number of factors.
Yes, we shouldn't need these rules, because it's in the constitution. But since the founding, laws were interpreted differently based on gender, race and religious practice.

Under state law they do not have general purpose law enforcement powers. They enforce warrants, security at the courts, and ancillary duties on Election Day. The Municipal Police Jurisdiction Act gives plenary law enforcement power to municipal police departments plus special-district agencies like universities or transit districts.

This will only push goat snugglers underground, to the black market of dark alleyways and sketchy barns to get their fix

Some people in this world live in fear that someone, somewhere, may be having a good time and they're gonna put a stop to it.
Usually most activists have good intentions and do good work but they're human like the rest of us and can take it farther than appropriate. When they do, they undermine their own message.

Who tf cares tho? Does it make me poorer? Does it make Philly poorer? Does it make PA poorer? No
So it shouldn’t be debated by politicians. Their job is to improve the ability of their constituents to be successful and have access to essential services full stop.
We don’t need a culturally homogenous society at the expense of our public services. Maybe if we weren’t so focused on non issues like this then we’d have functioning roads

>Right. But when was the last time scientists observed a gay penguin parade?
Gay penguins don't need parades because they weren't systematically oppressed, harassed, and murdered by straight penguins throughout history.
Homophobic oppression is uniquely human, but homosexuality is not.

Just like we do between pop and soda, sub and hoagie, and Sheetz and Wawa.
It's based on your cultural genetics given you by your childhood zip code, lol.
In all seriousness, we don't really use either term here in the Poconos.
Edit: spelling
