Condragulations are in order, as RuPaul's Drag Race adds another Emmy to its glittering, heaving cabinet of well-earned awards.
Drag Race took home Best Reality Competition Program at this year's Emmys, beating The Amazing Race, Survivor, Top Chef, and The Voice — it's the fifth win for the show in this category. Drag Race now has a whopping 29 Emmys and 63 nominations, and it's the eighth consecutive win for RuPaul as host, making him the most awarded host in Emmy’s history and the record-holder for most wins by a person of colour.
"If a drag queen wants to read you a story at a library, listen to her."
Accepting the award on behalf of the Drag Race team alongside fellow judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and Ross Mathews, RuPaul took a moment to champion children's library events like Drag Story Hour that encourage diversity, creativity, and education, and which have been ludicrously and harmfully targeted by the far-right and conspiracy theorists.
“We are so honored to have this award," RuPaul said onstage. "Listen, you guys are just pure lovely for honouring our show and recognizing all these queens. We have released into the wild hundreds of drag queens and they're beautiful. On behalf of all them, we thank you.
"If a drag queen wants to read you a story at a library, listen to her because knowledge is power and if someone tries to restrict your access to power, they are trying to scare you, so listen to a drag queen."
According to GLAAD, there were 161 protests and attacks on drag events in 2022 in the U.S. — including library events like Drag Story Hour — and the organisation also examined the weaponising of these events by "extremist politicians" to propose drag bans.
"GLAAD reviewed legislative proposals in six states that aim to restrict or ban drag. In most cases, extremist politicians pointed to local drag events as the motivation for new legislation that would ban public drag performances such as those that take place at Pride festivals, or ban minors from observing drag performers, including library events such as Drag Story Hour."
What is Drag Story Hour? Created by Michelle Tea and RADAR Productions in San Francisco in 2015 and having seen spinoffs across the world, it's best described by the team themselves:
"It’s just what it sounds like! Storytellers using the art of drag to read books to kids in libraries, schools, and bookstores. DSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models."

Absolutely, reading to children is a wonderful way to foster a love for learning and imagination. It creates lasting positive impacts on their development. Can I ask you a question?
ReplyDeletethere's a difference in reading and grooming and we will never accept pedophilia in this country! Period!
ReplyDeleteyes, there is. There being no connection whatsoever between drag queen storytimes and grooming or paedophilia. PERIODT.
ReplyDeleteweird that you sexualize children when the topic is reading.
ReplyDeletefunny how you try and flip it around on me! Play dumb all you want! Why else are they focused on the kids? You must be the one to turn a blind eye, but we will not!
ReplyDeleteso you're accusing drag Queens of being paedophiles are you?
ReplyDeletethere's something mentally wrong with you people if you believe they are only there to read to them! So do explain why it's so important to put this adult content in front of kids all of a sudden? Do explain? Why else would they be so focused on the youth? Because you know if you brought this crap to adults there'd be issues!
ReplyDeletewhat’s the adult content, exactly?
ReplyDeleteyou know that you can't make somebody gay that isn't gay?
ReplyDeleteDon't ask yourself WHY? Children NEED to see Drag Queens... Ask Yourself WHY? Drag Queens WANT an audience of CHILDREN???... ABSOLUTE GROOMING!!
ReplyDeleteopen ended questions to push your agenda much? Read, or can you? Drags grooming kids is pushing pedophilia, and that's a fact. Why aren't they going to libraries holding adult time? Why the kids? I think you know why
ReplyDeletethen do explain the sudden burst of kids not knowing whether they are boys or girls?! You sound demented
ReplyDeletedon’t take your children to a circus, they’re grooming them to become clowns….🤡
ReplyDeletepedophiles are in churches, scouts, your neighborhoods, etc. & are not so easily recognized….they tend to try & blend in & become trusted by the victims families.
first off, it's not adult content. They're reading picture books...perfectly appropriate for the audience. They just happen to be dressed up. Kids tend to love dress-up. They don't care about the agenda you gronks are assigning to this. They're being read to by someone who's dressed up and having fun. Oh noes!
ReplyDeleteIt appears to me that there are many adults who perhaps didn't fully grasp the concept of reading comprehension the first time around. Perhaps there SHOULD be storytimes for adults...maybe that would help.
Or maybe, JUST maybe, people like yourself stop conjuring up issues where none exist...except in your own heads.
churches groom children. Quit hiding behind church pedophilia.
ReplyDeleteyou are pushing your delusional beliefs in fairytales to distract from your attraction to children and you call others mentally ill?
ReplyDeleteWell you shouldn’t accept pedophilia but that has nothing to do with drag.
ReplyDeletefirstly, asking why they aren't holding adult time is kind of silly. You know as well as I do that there's never "adult reading time" at libraries. The only time something like that happens is adults attending an author's event where they read from their own book. Would it be lovely to sit with adults and listen to someone read a story? Absolutely, but it doesn't currently happen, so asking why they aren't doing it is kind of irrelevant, because no one is.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, saying that drag queens are "pushing pedophilia" would assume you believe that drag queens ARE pedophiles. Can you provide some kind of source or statistics for that?
If you believe that drag queens reading is "pushing pedophilia", then would you be opposed to a cisgender man wearing clothes you expect them to wear reading to kids?
you really do not know the meaning of that word, do you? You can just say that...it's okay.
ReplyDeleteSo, this is how it works. Lots of people like to dress up. Drag queens/kings are but one group of people to whom this applies. Kids also love dress-ups...and seeing people dressed up in fantastic costumes doesn't have any other meaning for them than someone dressed up and having fun and having them join in the fun...in this case, by way of reading picture books to them.
Everyone gets to have fun, and kids get to enjoy reading and being read to, because that's LITERALLY the bottom line here.
Seems to me it's people like yourselves who insist upon turning it into something else entirely.
Perhaps some self-reflection might benefit you.
it’s always to Jesus folks who have the mental capacity of a peanut. He’s not gonna make your life any better and buddy buy will you be disappointed at the nothingness coming in the hereafter.
ReplyDeleteFind something better to do with your life then waste it believing in fairy tales. I’d rather a nation full of drag queens than Christians, but that’s only cuz I’ve known both and one is a threat to society and the other isn’t. You figure it out bud, or don’t.
So are you saying this about all trans people?
ReplyDeletedo you ser that in my statement? Stop trying to open end question someone into a corner. What I Am saying is that all transgender people are definitely confused and need help. Can't convince me against otherwise.
ReplyDeleteam I telling you what exactly?
ReplyDeleteBut you used the word pedophillia and you didn’t specify it. So I’m asking you to clarify. Are you stating this about all trans?
ReplyDeleteit’s not sudden….its been this way from the beginning, some just choose to ignore or hate….
ReplyDeletegroomers are in churches, neighborhoods, scouts, etc. they tend to blend in & even be trusted by the victims family…..
ReplyDeleteYes.. Kids love dress-up... What they DON'T LOVE is SEEING A GROWN MAN IN A DRESS SPREAD HIS LEGS AND SHOW HIS PRIVATE PARTS!!.. UNLESS.. They have been GROOMED to THINK THAT IS OKAY. In a Civilized Society THAT is CALLED CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE... You can Sugar Coat The Abuse all you want by saying "Kids also love dress-up...and seeing people dressed up in fantastic costumes doesn't have any other meaning for them than someone dressed up and having fun and having them join in the fun.." But... IN REALITY... Anyone with MORALS KNOWS what it ACTUALLY IS... SMH... Perhaps some self-reflection might benefit YOU... AND a MORAL COMPASS!!.. Watch THIS Video... What does a grown man in a dress and make UP Teaching CHILDREN TO "TWERK" have to do with READING A BOOK???... Wake UP!!.. SMH... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VA72t7o24I
ReplyDeleteWhat a weird take on it.
ReplyDeleteOBVIOUSLY... SMH... However... The churches, neighborhoods, scouts, etc. are NOT Putting on shows of MEN Dressed as WOMEN Flashing their private parts IN PUBLIC VENUES... THAT is PUBLIC GROOMING, PUBLIC CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND MAKING THIS BEHAVIOR APPEAR "NORMAL"... Which ENCOURAGES OTHERS IN SOCIETY TO HAVE AN "EXCUSE"... Ie: A neighbor of a child attends the same Drag/Strip show, then molests the child... His EXCUSE, "The child was ALLOWED to attend an adult STRIP SHOW... So I THOUGHT HE WAS INTO IT"... WE ADULTS Are RESPONSIBLE For The protection of the INNOCENTS And The MAJORITY KNOW RIGHT From WRONG... SMH... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8g3q9-l61k
ReplyDeleteyou’re not even talking “reading” anymore….. children typically do not go to adult movies or shows. It’s very easy not to take them, if that’s your preference.
ReplyDeleteQuit yelling, it doesn’t help any discussions. Your opinion is noted.
weird that you defend events where overtly sexualized perverted men seek an audience of children.
ReplyDeleteyes.
ReplyDeleteyes what?
ReplyDeleteyes what ffs!?
ReplyDeleteAnd if a parent is uncomfortable with you reading a story to them and their children, you listen to them and respect their feelings too
ReplyDeleteLiterally no one cares if you don’t take your kid to an event like this, that’s not the issue
Deleteyeah the issue is the events themselves. No such thing as a “family friendly” drag queen.
Deletethe library is a place where children are present a lot so unfortunately it is the issue for many even if you don't see it that way
DeleteParents have the choice of whether to bring their kids to an event or not. If you don’t like the event, don’t go. Easy solution. But no parent has the right to stop other parents from taking their kids.
Deletenot sure what you just responded with, it didn't appear here but it gave a notification but here lies your problem. You feel like because people like me say what I have to say that I also feel that drag queens shouldn't have a voice. They absolutely can. Doesn't mean I or anyone else has to agree but saying keep your agenda away from children is not saying that you don't have a right to a voice
DeleteDo you think you have the right to stop other parents from taking their kids to an event like that? Yes or no?
DeleteI asked you a question first, why target libraries? And you are absolutely right no one has a right to tell another parent where they can or can't take their children. I answered yours, let's answer mine.
DeleteI answered that question already. No one is “targeting libraries.” Do you know what libraries are for? They’re places kids go to get and read books. It’s by far the most logical place for an event where people read to kids.
DeleteIf you’re smart enough to know that no one has the right to tell another parent what they can or can’t do (within the bounds of the law, of course) then what’s the issue? Don’t take your kids to drag queen events. Problem solved.
you ever watched the clips from the movie what is a woman? Men from African countries were interviewed with questions and they were disgusted that people do that here. Now consider that and the fact that their children aren't doing that but amazingly high profile celebrities have adopted children who are all about the drag or trans agenda. And also amazingly, the stats of trans have almost tripled in just a few years recently. And that's young kids today still. And also amazingly, there is videos of trans people who are adults now that are detransitioning because they have grown up and realized it's not what they wanted but guess who wanted it? Their parents. And don't say trans is different that drags, I know that already but grooming is all the same
DeleteSo you think drag queens reading stories to kids is bad because people in Africa don’t like it and because you don’t like trans people, which you know are a completely different concept than drag queens.
DeleteYou’re so full of hate that you can’t even speak with any shred of logic.
where did I say that I don't like trans people? I don't like people who target kids or use their own children for their agendas. You're weak and disgusting
DeleteYou’re literally just spouting anti-trans nonsense when we’re not even talking about trans people.
DeleteNo one is “targeting kids” here. Again - if you don’t want to take your kids to a drag event, don’t. No one is forcing you. Move on.
explain how that is antitrans. I'm antigrooming
DeleteYou brought up trans people in a conversation that has nothing to do with them because you think it makes a point about grooming and you don’t know how that’s transphobic? Come on.
DeleteAgain, if you don’t like drag queen events for kids, don’t take your kids. End of story.
Ok Groomer.
DeletePlease, tell me one way in which I’ve promoted grooming anyone.
Deletemmmm every single parent has that right. And why is that drag queens target a place that usually populated with children? They can just as easily hold their event elsewhere
ReplyDeletea town near me held a drag story hour event at a local park and nazis showed up. No matter where the events are held, nazis show up and regurgitate the dame rhetoric we're hearing from you.
Deleteexactly
Deletehow many kids do you have?
Delete1 biological and 3 step kids
Deleteand you raise them to hate people they don't even know? Sad.
DeleteSooo are you saying they should stop reading to children because of what exactly?
Deleteas I clearly stated, if a parent is uncomfortable with it. They have tye right to be uncomfortable with it. Why have drag queens made it a huge thing of reading to kids in libraries
DeleteI understand that part but you said they need to listen to them…and do what exactly?
DeleteDo you want them to “stop” reading to children? What exactly do you want them to do?
read my last post to my dude, yes stop grooming kids
Deleteyou have a right to do what you want with your kids but who do think many of these kids will hate when they grow up? It'll be those that groomed and allowed the grooming
DeleteOkay wait..I just asked what do you want these people to do when it comes to reading.
DeleteHow are you jumping to grooming? are you saying that reading to children means they are grooming those children to be trans as well and then hate the parent because they allowed their kid to listen to a trans person read a book?
Can you clarify your statement?
as my original statement was, respect parents who don't want their children groomed by drag queens but as you and your friend carried on I did as well. That's how a conversation grows, did you want me to repeat the same sentence or what?
DeleteWell your original statement was
Delete“if a parent is uncomfortable with you reading a story to them and their children, you listen to them and respect their feelings too”
So you believe reading to children is code word for being groomed?
And what are they being groomed into?
what are they being groomed into?
DeleteIf you have to ask that then why is it so important that everyone has to listen to drag queens as Paul stated
Im only asking you to clarify your statement, but it seems like you rather dance around the answer instead of being blunt and direct.
DeleteSo can you answer the question?
what in the world is wrong with a parent that doesn't want their child read to? Bigotry has no place in child rearing. You don't teach kids to hate. You are the problem if you do.
Deleteany parent comfortable with taking their children to a perverted man should have CPS called on them.
DeleteWhy is it always the profiles that use social media to openly endanger and exploit children in their own lives have opinions on what other parents do with their children?
Deleteyes, dont force that sh#t down their throats.
DeleteGFY to emmys and hollywood!
ReplyDeleteLove this human
ReplyDeleteOh William you laugh and “claim” to be a Christian
DeleteYour hypocrisy is pathetic
An epoch is judged by the characters it celebrates. Ours will be seen by the future generations as one of total decadence and emptiness.

ReplyDeleteMAGA brainwashed them
DeleteMAGA did it 🤣 oh Karen I’ll pray for you.
DeleteBrilliant? 🙄 she didn’t say enough.
ReplyDeleteThats Ayana Pressley
ReplyDelete😳
ReplyDeleteWhat has drag queens got to do with reading for kids in libraries ? Why would any parent ever make their child listen to a drag queen telling a story ? Drag queen belong in drag shows and not in libraries according to me and never ever would I take any child to listen to one speaking. No relevance at all and children and drag queen do not belong in the same room. Whoever is trying to normalise that would have to go over my dead body.
ReplyDeletehis name says everything,👍😖they don’t believe and hate people like this, it’s very sad but true
DeleteI have no problem with a drag queen reading a story to kids if their parents are okay with it .
DeletePlease tell me about why his name has anything to do with his opinion. ? .
encouraging kids to cut off their genitals should be a federal offense, not an inclusive talking point, any adult who either encourages or entices a child to become trans and remove their genitals should go to prison for life, it is literally the most evil thing you can possibly do as a human being, there is not a more evil thing on this earth that you could possibly do than to convince a child to engage in that lifestyle! 😡😡😡😡😡
Deleteyou a) don’t understand what drag queens are and b) don’t seem to really understand what being trans is, either. I’d recommend you educate yourself on both. If you care about kids, you’d want them to be accepted for who they are, to be able to live truly as themselves, and to have access to language and resources for that. Restricting kids from being themselves results in unhappy and unfulfilled kids at best, and dead kids at worst.
Deletethere’s nothing helpful or encouraging to children to expose them to degenerate perverts.
Deletethis emotional blackmailing is tired and played out. There’s no such thing as “trans” kids you disgusting groomer.
DeleteI hope you don’t talk like that to your future kids
Deletebasically because of your statement. The point of drag queen story hour is acceptance. To accept everyone for being different and accept them for who they are. Your statement is about keep intolerance and to encourage kids to hate those that are different. Maybe you need to sit in on a drag queen story hour to show YOU hoe harmless it is and accept those who aren't you.
Deleteweird that you had to announce your insecurities when seeing drag queens. You don't have to remain jealous and are free to live your authentic life when you're ready.
Deletewhy don’t drag queens belong in libraries?
Deletedo strippers belong in libraries?
Deleteare these drag queens stripping? I haven't seen a single drag queen story hour where part of the show was stripping.
Deleteand I'm sure lots of strippers go to libraries, Alan, they just don't strip while they do it.
Deletegood, I also hope they don’t wear their work uniform while reading a story book. Ijs.
Deletethere are tons of drag shows where no one strips. The two things aren’t synonymous.
Deletefrom your message it sounds as if the world would be better off if your body was dead. So at least you have that going for ya.
DeleteNothing for me or my kids. Stay in a kabaret where you belong.
DeleteWe’ ll pass on that whole subject line. I can’t believe its a wanted thing in society. My kids will do plenty of reading without that BS. Drag queens have a life all their own and it doesn’t really cross over with children by their own choice IMO. To each their own.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣 I would pull kids out of any school that allows drag queens to read to them. They have teachers and parents for that. Influencing children in such a way is wrong. Period. They are not old enough to comprehend or understand what is going on with most things in this world much less a drag queen and what they’re about. Live your life the way you want just stay away from our children and stop trying to force it down their throats.
ReplyDeleteNo
ReplyDeleteGod's Wrath is at the door fools
ReplyDeleteGood thing God hates the same people you do.
DeleteI dont hate people, I hate wickedness and rebellion against the Sovereign savior of the Universe, the Lord Jesus Christ....their hatred for Him....
Delete" and the smoke of their torment shall ascend forever in forever! Remember Sodom and Gomorah???
God doesn't hate people... He HATES SIN.
DeleteExactly. The alt christians should figure that out. And hate is the sin.
Delete"If there were proof that a god exists, you wouldn't believe in it -- you'd have knowledge of it."
DeleteYou wouldn't need faith, because you'd have facts.
These facts could then be proven to anyone else. They could be repeated, tested and demonstrated.
What you have is a story that you want to believe. That's it.
well I guess one day when your sad soul leaves this world you will see won't you? Ask yourself this, why do you deny truth? We have more than enough proof, you just choose your lustful ways instead, and kudos to you, God gives us all a choice, but your inability to see facts and truth don't make Him fake period. 😉
Deleteyou have proof of what? Your belief that a rapist skydaddy impregnated a teenager to give you a savior from the sins that sky daddy gave you in the first place? The only thing you've proven is your attempt at justifying your bigotry using your belief in fairytales. People don't choose to be gay, you choose to be hateful and bigoted.

ReplyDeleteNo thanks
ReplyDeleteMashable promotes deviant behavior to the point of celebration. Like put everybody’s brain in a big bowl and mash it all up. No difference between male and female, change your gender whenever you want, celebrating 10 year old drag queens like it’s an accomplishment, men dressing up like doorway debutantes while reading to children….
ReplyDeleteAnd they actually have a following
Protect your kids from degenerate groomers and keep them safe.
ReplyDeletehas let us all know to keep our kids away from him.
Deleteexactly. Don't let them go to churches until they are at least 18 or maybe even 21. They are degenerates and groomers.
Deletestay out of churches then. More sexual @$$aults occurred there than at any drag story time or drag event. Facts matter!
DeleteI’ll pass thanks.
ReplyDeletelet the door kick you on the way out. Have the life you deserve.
DeleteEverybody should have a life they deserve.
DeleteNo, don’t. Keep the children out of it. Too young.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the reading material
ReplyDeleteStop this degradation of American values. Your male sexual fantasy should not be on display for our children to see.
ReplyDeleteit sounds like you may not really understand what you’re speaking on. What about a drag queen dressing in certain clothes means it’s a “male sexual fantasy” to you? Is it yours?
DeleteAmerican values?????? Uve let the cotton pickers degrade your values ...silly white kids listen and watch there filthy culture and habits ...export your woke nonsense aswell ......usa usa usa ..🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

DeleteHard pass.
ReplyDeleteThis story is really getting pushed. No drag queens should not be reading to your children. Why? If you are an adult by all means go to a drag show if you so desire.
ReplyDeleteI see you encourage bullying and are on the intolerant side of society. This kind of thinking leads to kids beating up the different kid.
DeleteI see that you assume to know a lot about me while knowing absolutely nothing about me.
Deletewhy?
DeleteBecause drag is adult entertainment.
Deletethat statement is absolutely false and proves only your own bias.
DeleteI’ve been to drag shows and they are absolutely adult entertainment. Your statement shows your ignorance.
Deletewhat about a drag queen is inherently adult to you?
DeleteIf you are an adult I suggest that you attend a drag show and find out.
DeleteI’ve been. Have you?
DeleteYes. A lot of writhing around on the floor. Not what I would call entertainment.
Deletefunny how things can be different, the ones I’ve been to weren’t like that at all. That’s not an inherent part of being a drag queen and there’s no writhing happening at these story hours so I’m not sure what the problem is. 
DeleteNo drag queens at the library for kids under 18
ReplyDeleteIt's as if none of the people complaining about drag Queens reading to kids have ever heard of pantomime.
ReplyDeleteastonishing, isn't it? Almost as if they have some other, unrelated agenda... 🤔🤔🤔

ReplyDeleteSuch a garbage culture we’ve migrated to
ReplyDeletereading to kids is garbage to you? Makes sense I guess considering how many conservatives are in favor of banning books.
Deletewho goes to a library as a drag? It’s not about reading
Deletehow does what they’re wearing affect their ability to read a book?
Deletedo you breathe?
DeleteUmmmm No! Drag queens got no place around innocent children and we will not accept grooming in this country! Ever!
ReplyDeletegrooming? Noone is talking about religion, dear.
Deletewhat's it got to do with religion? And you're a man, talk like one 🙄 I mean your profile screams pedo
Deleteyou mentioned grooming, not sure why you brought up religion. Just because you sexualize children doesn't make it true for anyone else.
Deleteyet you'll take your kids to church, and there are actual groomers and pedos there.
DeleteWhy aren’t they reading to the elderly in retirement communities? Oh yea, because those minds aren’t the ones they’re after. Typical trotskyist strategy. Remove the elders and reshape the youth.
ReplyDeleteThey do. That just doesn’t fit the paranoid groomer narrative.
Deleteparanoid?? How exactly is it paranoid to say that sexual deviants shouldn’t be reading to children? It’s weird you’re going out of your way to deflect attention away from an obvious problem.
Deleteit's weird you're going out of your way to spread lies about lgbt people to distract from your own behavior. What are you hiding?
DeleteThe rhetoric of your response proves the paranoia you are denying.
Delete👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
there are plenty of drag events at senior centers and retirement homes. Not hard to Google!
Deletewhere? Why aren’t they highlighted in the media and on social media? Nice deflection attempt.
Deletewaiting for an explaination on why the focus is on children by the media?
DeleteAre you saying it wasn’t a strategy in history to eliminate the opinionated and educated and reshape minds of the youth?
Please tell me you don’t know history without actually saying it. 🙄
asked the media. Know who else attacked lgbt people and spread lies about them to make the ultimate goal of eradication of millions of people more palatable to the masses? Tell em you don't know history without saying it.
Deletehttps://wienerholocaustlibrary.org/.../persecution-of.../
still no explanation. 🙄 Great “debate” Amber. 🤣
Deleteyes. You use shared an example of how the LBGTQ community treats people who don’t agree with all of their life choices.
DeleteThey become violent. They label everyone as an other. Thank you for proving my point for me. Although, I don’t think your quick google search intended to help me, it did. Thanks.
have to work now. Bye ppl with violent tendencies and control issues. Keep making violent treats and acting crazy. I’m sure that will convince everyone we’re aren’t dealing with a mental health crisis. Why to talk it out in a rational way. 🙄 bye.
DeleteI just googled in Canada and found several. I can't post screen shots, but look up the Mill Woods Seniors Association host drag show. Over 200 seniors in Edmonton showed up for the event.
DeleteThere are several in Toronto, and locally in Hamilton Ontario there was one before New year's. Google is your friend, but I get it. Then your pathetic fake outrage is proven wrong, so you don't want to look. Poor snowflake.
again, why aren’t they highlighting the seniors and drag shows in the media? The focus in on kids. Why is the focus on kids? That’s was my question. You mean to tell me MSNBC is having live discussions on drag in senior centers? Lmao.
DeleteI already did a google search. It’s not the focus. Drag to kids is the focus.
Why is it ok to have kids attend sexualized events?
you're right, the nazis and proud boys creating violence against lgbt kids is the real mental health issue that needs addressed
DeleteI've been to several drag events and for adults they are more adult material, but drag time story hour has zero sexualized material. You do realize to most drag performers it's their character and the clothes and make up are their costumes, right?
Deleteif it “zero sexualized,” then why aren’t they reading without the sexualized costume? Isn’t reading to kids enough? Why is the drag needed if it’s “not being sexualized? 🙄
DeleteMake it make sense. They can read without being in drag, right? So it’s more about indoctrination regarding a sexual fetish, than reading to kids. Let’s be real.
you didn’t have to make a fool of yourself online today, but you chose to. So thank you for that. We need more people lacking self-awareness spouting off their opinions. That’s what makes America great again.
DeleteI think we just proved that I am aware of current events. So do you feel you have more rights over others people’s children than the parents of those children?
DeleteIt’s comical you try to link me to Trump. Why would you use a phrase that white nationalists supposedly use? Weird flex.
you have more inline with white nationalist view than I ever will weirdo. Stop being so weird and stupid, there truly is more to life than Facebook. Go find a friend!
DeleteI’ll let you make a fool of yourself instead. Apparently you don’t know history. That’s ok. Apparently your busy playing dress up and have no time for the reading part. 🙄
DeleteSeems like you better check the mirror on having something inline with nationalism ideology than you realize yourself. So agree with you or you’re instantly labeled as “the other?” Weird flex. Very controlling. Maybe speak to a professional regarding your need to control others.
DeleteFool.
DeleteLet us reverse focus to the horrid pull-out in Afghanistan.

Parents can object the same as they object to things a minor shouldn't be doing. It's called right of opinion. Be who you want but don't get mad at the backlash you get.
ReplyDeleteBe who you are without expecting a parade in honor of your chosen gender. You are not a "queen" and gender classification does not make you one.
ReplyDeleteTime these people got help with their' mental health 🙄its not normal ! This needs stopping ✋️

ReplyDeletethe majority? That's one person that regurgitates the tired old dogma of fascists. Your confirmation bias proves nothing about anyone else. Of course not all programs are appropriate for children. No one claims they are.

Poor Deceived Joseph... SO... IF we are AGAINST The SEXUALIZATION OF CHILDREN... Then WE are "Attacking" lgbt???... IF we are AGAINST GROWN MEN LIFTING UP THEIR SKIRTS IN THE PRESENCE OF CHILDREN... Then WE are "Dehumanizing" Them???... Give me a BREAK... SMH... That's Just PATHETIC.!!.. NO ONE Cares if someone wants to live the LGBTQ Lifestyle... Just LEAVE THE CHIDREN ALONE!!.. There are LAWS AGAINST IT!!.. It's TIME To END The Normalization of Marxism in OUR COUNTRY by The Radical Left!! Dehumanizing all persons. No one is anything more than his or her DNA and appearance, plus whatever animal instincts he happens to feel at a given time. From this comes identity politics, racial and sexual polarization, group victimhood, and group guilt. This logically results in demoralizing relationships.... A MUST READ... https://thefederalist.com/.../if-we-dont-stop-it.../...
