Dennis Prager Explains That Drag Shows Are Not The Same As The 1993 Film ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’: ‘The Damage is Not Worth the Fun’

Political commentator Dennis Prager explained to his audience during a recent episode of his podcast that drag shows are much different than the movie Mrs. Doubtfire.

During the Friday edition of The Dennis Prager Show he explained his reasoning. A clip from the conversation began circulating Twitter via Jason Campbell.

“So, first of all, I personally don’t find it funny. I mean, if it’s a routine, like what was the one, the famous movie, Mrs. What — what was it called?” Prager asked.

“Doubtfire,” a producer whispered off-camera.

“Mrs. Doubtfire, that’s different. It was a middle-aged guy as a dowdy woman. And you know, the travails that ensued — it — that was a comedy. Okay? But in general, drag queen shows are not Mrs. Doubtfire,” Prager clarified.

Prager said not accepting drag shows is a means to preserving the Bible.

“For many there was a sexual element, certainly for the performers. Would you like to perform in a dress or in a skirt or whatever other women’s clothing would be involved?” Prager asked.

“Secondly, I wouldn’t attend because I actually take the Bible seriously and it says, ‘A man shall not wear a women’s clothing.’ I want to preserve the order that the Bible has established, and it’s an order built on distinctions,” he explained.

“One of them is male/female. When you shatter the distinction in dress, you begin the process of shattering the distinction. So I think that the damage is not worth the fun,” Prager said.

The 1993 film starred Robin Williams whose character loses his children in a divorce custody battle. As a means of maintaining a bond with his children, he dons prosthetics and women’s clothing to portray himself as an English nanny that’s hired to take care of his children.
