Don't accept the libs premise on this one.

If you do, next step up is 'you can't show a heterosexual couple kissing in front of kids because kids can't be around any kind of sexuality because that's what you said the rules are.' It's ok for kids to be around light heterosexual themes. It's not ok for kids to be around queer themes. A 'double standard' is absolutely justified here, because one is natural and normal, and the other is degenerate and immoral.

Despite this, drag shows and hooters are obviously different. So you don't have to invoke the 'double standard' to know this is a dumb argument. While I don't think it's classy to take your kids to hooters, differences between hooters and a drag show are:

  1. Hooters waitresses are just normal women and not a queer (and I use that word in a specifically Foucaultian sexual transgression/perversion sense) minstrel show
  2. Hooters waitresses don't promote or participate in any sexual or faux-sexual activity
  3. Hooters waitresses aren't trying to queer/trans/straight/whatever your kids. Drag performers doing it for kids explicitly are.
