[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Just amazing.  If a drag queen story hour were cancelled, these dopes would be marching in the streets.  This kind of stunt is so instructive.[/quote]

You realize those meeting at the library are exactly the folks who try to get drag queen story hours cancelled, right?

You realize that there is a bright line between someone having political opinions you don’t agree with and someone hosting an event for children that is by it’s nature sexually transgressive, right? It’s the same reason I’d have no problem with Che Guevara for Kids Story Hour but wouldn’t be okay with Stripper Story Hour. I personally find it gross when people try to overly politicize children and use them as political pawns in general but YMMV.[/quote]

I guess this is a difference between you and me. You think that men dressed as women reading books presents a danger. I don't. I think that people who spread conspiracy theories that result in local restaurants being shot up and set on fire present a danger. You don't. We will just have to agree to disagree.

By your rationale everyone who spread fake news about what happened to Jacob Blake and Michael Brown presents a danger and shouldn’t be allowed to speak in public spaces because it their spread of disinformation (like “Hand Up Don’t Shoot” that was discredited by Eric Holder’s DOJ) led to violence and looting.

[b]And drag is a fetish.[/b] Full stop. Would you be this cavalier about people in bondage outfits reading to kids if it angered the opposing political team? At a certain point you need to draw a line in the sand about what’s appropriate for little kids, especially if it’s held in a public space. I’ve known people whose lives have been ruined because of childhood sexual abuse. I have an extremely low tolerance for anything that even faintly resembles grooming. And I’ve never voted R in my life. This issue is deeper than political posturing. [/quote]

So Shakespearian plays are  fetish?
Maarilyn Monroe movies are a fetish?
Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies is a fetish?

I mean, this goes back millennia, and is even biblical.[/quote]

You let your 6 year old watch Bosom Buddies?[/quote]

I remember my parents taking me to the Mozart opera The Marriage of Figaro, when I was maybe 8 or 9. One of the characters is a man, sung by a woman (it's a trouser role), who dresses up as a woman. When I was a bit older, I was taken to the Strauss opera Der Rosenkavalier, where one of the characters is a man, sung by a woman (it's a trouser role), who dresses up as a woman for a seduction scene to embarrass the man who is supposed to marry the woman he loves - but what do you expect from those decadent pre-WWI Germans.[/quote]

Your parents got to make that choice.  Many public school parents are never given that choice before their kids are exposed to a man parading around in a thong.  That’s the point.  [/quote]

Can you provide many examples to back this up?  Or one?[/quote]
