How do you feel about Drag Queen Story Time?

This is just American fundamentalist Christian bullshít masquerading as concern to get idiots all outraged. You'd swear drag queens in kids' entertainment was a new phenomenon.

If you're getting outraged as you hang around the sorts of places where the term "groomer" is bandied about freely, you're a rube, a mark, a victim of a simple con for simple people. I know, I know - nobody likes being told that they're falling for a con. Acknowledging that you fell for such a stupid con is hard and possibly beyond you. It's much easier to keep filling your head with shíte while you tell yourself that it's the world that's wrong and that you're the one who really knows what's going on by watching youtube videos by American rightwing christians who you think would never deceive you.

Anyway, you won't be convinced that you're being lead down the garden path. You'll hop from one hobby-horse to the next, just like any other good mark. Next week, it'll be homosexuality in movies or whatever else the grifters have cooked up for you.

Have fun!

FFS, this again.

Someone in drag performing in an appropriate way in front of kids, yeah I'm fine with that. And when I say appropriate, I mean a non-sexual way.

But drag artists don't always perform in an appropriate way in front of kids...............e.g. the Dungarvan performance in the pic below.

No issues with it at all. Its not like they are reading the kids erotica or anything, its your usual bog standard kids story told by someone in a costume. People just see a guy in makeup and **** their pants.

I'm guessing their underwear. I doubt they were naked under the dress.

What filth do you imagine is going on here?

Maybe it’s more than “one lone child”? Maybe coming out as trans is still really, really hard?

No, it must be filth. If it wasn't filth, there wouldn't be a red dot, would there? I mean, If the likes of The Liberal would't be so disingenuous as to put a red dot over something as innocuous as a photo of man's underwear, in order to make it appear worse than it actually was, would they?

Yeah, the Liberal are only trying to stoke up controversy as they are essentially a media outlet that stokes up religious sh1te and hatred of foreigners. I'm quite happy to label The Liberal a shower of cnuts.

That said, just because they are a shower of cnuts, that doesn't mean that they are wrong in this instance. The performer did, as is obvious from the picture, pull up their dress in what looks like a sexual manner. I'm fine with someone in drag reading to kids, or any sort of performance in front of kids as long as it is non-sexual. Performances should be age appropriate.

Not quite the same as seeing a bikini/underwear on a beach or the clothing worn at gymnastics.

How’s the “bury your head in the sand” approach working out for that family? Do you think that kids will turn gay or trans by attending story time?

I don’t think attendance is compulsory.

You don’t think that societal attitudes were a barrier to coming out 30 years ago?

What are you on about? That family have done everything they can for their child, private child psychology, the lot, lots of support but the issues remain.

Will one event "turn" a child? Probably not, but I still wouldn't send my child.

Did they “invite the wolf to their door” to use your own phrase?
