I have never been a fan of the phrase “Family Friendly.”
How does a man dressed like an oversexed woman know anything about entertainment that is friendly for your family? Drag performers have been using the term for quite some time thinking that the general population would give favor to the entertainment while they use it as cover of wickedness. This is how organizations get city councils to allow their events in public places where common sense and law would otherwise forbid. Notice here how the wicked acts of darkness want to look innocent and friendly to your family when in reality they hate everything good God created in the family.
The private sector should be afforded the liberty to ruin its business if it wants. There will be some patrons who will support some businesses no matter what. In a free market, that’s the way it is.
Recently someone sent me this invitation of an event happening at a local eatery known for hosting “Family-Friendly” drag events. As this business is at liberty to host such events it is also an exercise of liberty when the people take notice and not spend their money in such places.
Sidebar: I have been to this eatery twice since it opened on main street in Twin Falls. Once to meet with the sherpa of the United Methodist Church who promotes drag events and with another Methodist friend (do you see the pattern here?) who wanted to talk to me about why I don’t love like he loves. I have no issue with the quality of the service or the deliciousness of the food. My issue is not in the temporal. My interest is in the eternal. In both situations, I asked them if they would be willing to meet and I let them choose the location (do you see this pattern too?). I was pleased to do so and would be willing to again, but one has moved and the other has refused to meet with me anymore for some reason.
If being entertained like this at local eateries is what one wants to do one should do so. My issue is not that they should or shouldn’t. My issue is that if they don’t know they are disobeying God then someone should love them enough to let them know that this does not and cannot glorify God. If they know this and do so anyway then the community needs to have someone help inform them that such events are not “Family Friendly”.
Notice the unintended (or maybe fully intended) day and time. When churches in the city will mostly be gathering to worship God the Drag Brunch will be holding their services on a Sunday at 11. Will churches in the valley cancel their services and conduct a joint service with this “family-friendly” gathering? There is likely one sherpa I know who might be tempted to do so.
Of course, they can hold their church service on a Sunday at 11 but do you see what’s going on here? I do. I will spend the money God provides me with at other places.
(Is “All Ages” the new “Family-Friendly”? I see what you’re doing here.)
