For the #RightWing, #DragShowBans have never been about the children or the clothes or the #comedy.
They have always been about the cruelty.
I'm old enough to remember this. It wasn't the only time they were in drag. I can still hear #BobHope's voice in my head, complaining about how his girdle is killing him, on one of his many TV shows.
You also have:
* "Uncle Milty" #MiltonBerle, who was famous for his #drag comedy.
* #FlipWilson, who repeatedly donned a dress to play "Geraldine Jones" with hilarity.

* #DustinHoffman as #Tootsie.
* #RobinWilliams as #MrsDoubtfire.
* The entire cast of #MontyPython.
* Kids watched an animated #Mulan passing as a male and #BugsBunny in drag.
* And who can forget #HarveyKorman on "The #CarolBurnett Show", as "Mother Marcus" in "As the Stomach Churns."
