Drag Queen Story Hours

[Anonymous]

They’re doing story time because it’s an additional way to book a show.

It’s geared towards kids, it’s clean, and it’s fun. The drag persona is a character. Just like Elsa, but with funnier lines.

What is drag? Is it a man who feels excited by dressing as a woman (plenty of info out there indicating this is the case for many)? Is drag about performing (which seems to indicate a level of inauthenticity)….listening to some of you act like drag queer story time is the greatest thing ever, yet you supporters cantor even seem to agree on what exactly this thing is.

No, drag is not crossdressing.

Would you be ok if your child asked your husband to dress up and put make up next time they want a bed time story. I’m sorry but it is weird.

Personally, I wouldn't take my kids simply because I am not a fan of campy anything and drag shows seem to be all camp.

However, this is the weirdest example I've ever read. If my kid asked my husband to dress up like a clown, play the guitar and sing, read with a puppet, or dress like a muppet, we'd think it was weird but he's heard stories from all of the above and had fun listening.

Cross dressers can do drag.

I’m sorry, I just cannot respect people using these names. I’m supposed to consider Drag Queens to be like my gay brother.
But with names like that, nope. You are about attention. That is it.

Wait, of course they are about attention. They are performers. Every improve show I've ever seen has been a stage full of attention loving folk. I don't think its about gay. It's about camp and fun, if you like that kind of fun. (I find it and improve equally boring.)

If it’s performance, this isn’t about accepting of the LBGTQ+ community, which is what many people try to bill it as.

If you say so. Do you ever ask yourself why these men want to be around young children. If they were not dressed up in these outfits would you still take your kids to see a random man read stories. For some reason the customers and make up somehow make it acceptable.

Ding ding ding

What percent of child abuse is committed by men who first try to blur kids’ boundaries around sex?

Not every drag queen is a danger, but many people who really are a danger would be interested in being in that kind of situation

Some decisions are pretty easy

How is reading books sexual?

No, drag is not crossdressing.

What is it then?

Like coaches, scout leaders, pastors, that neighbor…

Most often, yes

And if you've made a point of having your kid around a bunch of men in push-up bras acting crazy, do you think that's helped or hurt their ability to recognize where boundaries should be?

Like taking your kids to Disney or Universal Studios with a bunch of men dressed in tights. You think that is dangerous.

You think we should forbid men from being coaches/pastors/etc?

That's a silly analogy

Dressing up as a cartoon character is different from playacting an oversexualized woman (ever seen a queen dressed frumpy & androgynous?)

No I don't think we should forbid men from doing those things

But since men commit oh I don't know 98% of sex offenses I think we also have a responsibility to urge kids to err on the side of NOT being open minded about unconventional sex related behavior from men

This right here.

Drag shows for adults are fine. Hard pass for the kids.

It’s 100% performative when people take their kids to these shows. They have an obsessive need to look accepting and progressive. This is Kristin Mink to a T.

agree

if the option had not been presented to them as a political act they would never in a million years demand it

Seriously. How is a drag queen reading a book sexual? Or “blurring boundaries”?

We’re all born naked and the rest is drag.
