[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only “unchristian” thing that happened with Drag story hour is the hateful response like viewed in the story above. Drag performance, drag performers, are neither predators or child groomers. You’re actually thinking of straight men. [/quote]

Exactly what - be specific - is the point of having drag performers read to and confusing young children?  We'll wait.[/quote]

What's the issue with them? Specifically and other than you don't like men dressed as women.
Because, I'm far more concerned with hetero men, dressing as men, around my daughter than I am some drag queen. Whether they are reading stories or not. [/quote]

NP here. I have no problem with men dressing however they like. Drag queens are men (a privileged class) dressed in a satirical, sexualized, over-the-top caricature of women. The sexualized aspects of Drag performances are what make them inappropriate for children.

At one point, society agreed that children should not be exposed to adult sexuality. It's sad that we no longer have that common understanding.[/quote]

Meh. I guess if you keep your kid locked at home, sure. But, the reality is that kids are exposed to sexuality, real and satirical all the time. You can argue if that is good or not but it is not likely to change. And, the fact you're singling out this and not a host of other things . . . not impressed with this argument.

My straight a, good kid by any standard, totally normal, not sexually active  . . .  whatever barometer the morality police want to apply . . . would not bat an eye at a drag queen reading her a story. Your revulsion at it is yours, not your kid. Now, if the queens are reading porn to the kids . . . . maybe you'd have a point.[/quote]

So then your kid is clearly not a small child who is easily confused and in fact, upset by seeing grown men dressed as women and telling them their stuffed animal dog is actually a cat.  Your kid is not at issue here.
