Well, not branded as story hour, but the drag queen is reading a story to primary school children... Brought in by an MP (Mhairi Black)

“Thank you to Flow and @MhairiBlack for sharing their experiences with us today. It was really important to hear about Section 28 and the negative effect it had. Thankfully now we teach #LGBTEducation proudly at @Glencoats_PS #LGBTQProud @LGBTYS @LGBTHistoryScot”

Ah was just about to post that Sunset. The more exposure on this individual the better. Nasty piece of work!

Get this arsehole and others like him out of schools.

I don't hold the DQ responsible. Not their job to understand safeguarding. But the people doing the inviting need to understand it. And the fact that no one has explained to the DQ that it's absolutely unacceptable to upload photos of children to an open insta account is appalling.

I hope the safeguarding lead in thar school is given some bloody tough questions by the parents.

This was Flowjob's response to the woman who was thrown out of the Polo Lounge In Glasgow.

As far as I can tell RuPaul's Drag Race is rated a 15 so where are these 8-11 year old kids learning about drag queens?

Year 7s watch Love Island, I don't think it should be on TV at all, let alone 11-12 year olds watching it. I am sure Drag Race seems harmless to most parents. Not having seen it I would expect it to just be dress up and prance about.

SamSeabornforPresident · 24/02/2020 19:45

I did wonder about that STV headline too.

NeurotrashWarrior · 24/02/2020 19:44

So the drag queen is now the victim?

I don't condone abuse and homophobia but I do stand for appropriateness and safeguarding.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 24/02/2020 19:35

That's it, SNP. You'll get no more votes from this floating voter, when people like Mhairi Black get away with this absolute nonsense.

And yes, Hermione, the pictures of the kids are still there.

TrollTheRespawnJeremy · 24/02/2020 19:34

This is mortifying.

I can't believe they did this in a school. There should be sackings.

Drag is bitchy, subversive and image obsessed. In an era where children are already obsessed with their appearance and bullying is rife we shouldn't be holding drag queens up as something to aspire to.

This is the epitome of attempting to look 'woke'. Kids don't belong around drag.

Story now picked up the the Times and the Telegraph.

Worryingly people on twitter are saying the drag queen has showed photos of the event with childrens faces visible, on his instagram

Goosefoot · 24/02/2020 19:26

This kind of suggests to me that people are beginning to reach saturation point with regards to anything Lgbt. What started out as something good has become tedious and forced. Which is a huge shame.

The whole thing is weird. It's constant in the school, guest speakers, clubs, books in the library, special videos, etc. Race might just about be talked about in a similar way, but not sex, or religion, or disability.

But TBH I wish they'd think a little more about teaching them reading and math. I am tutoring an 11 year old at the moment that doesn't know how to borrow when subtracting, or even that you need to because you can't subtract two from one. And he is a bright boy really. They spend half their time in flipping assemblies to talk about social issues.

Lordfrontpaw · 24/02/2020 19:23

She (MP) comes over as very immature and pretty anti woman. Most people grow out of their ‘fabulous!’ clubbing friends. She obviously hasn’t and isn’t mature enough to me an MP - sounds like she has an agenda anyway.

NeurotrashWarrior · 24/02/2020 19:22

Oooooh sunset.

I see now.

I wonder if all this will end up included in a parliamentary debate at some point?

And would a politician be brave enough to query it??

Ohhhhhhh

Yeah madam I seen a lot of gay and lesbian people on twitter saying that is a lazy and demeaning stereotype

littlbrowndog · 24/02/2020 19:05

What was it LANGCLEG said about sacred castes

No one not no one is above safeguarding.

Not even sacred castes

MadamePewter · 24/02/2020 19:03

A drag queen is hardly a representative of gay people anyway: just another stereotype

littlbrowndog · 24/02/2020 19:03

What @MhairiBlack said👍🏳️‍🌈

That is from a snp mp Stewart mcdonald

He doesn’t see a problem that kids from a primary school pictures have been put on an adult sex entertainers insta feed

No problem at all Stewart. Not a fucking clue Stewart about safeguarding Stewart

The council have had to apologise. Stewart. What about you

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 24/02/2020 19:01

Also of course the former CEO of LGBTYS

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-15790605

It is great that LGB is being educated about in school, but people need to engage some critical thinking and be aware that not everyone's motives are pure.

NeurotrashWarrior · 24/02/2020 18:59

Thanks for the share ig.

It is unclear how the primary school children had become aware of a drag queen called “Flow Job” and came to invite the performer.

Its would argue it's very clear how they became aware.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 24/02/2020 18:55

To whomever mentioned PIE as a thing of the past - pretty sure it still exists in some form or another. It's quite interesting that a former PIE member is now treasurer of Edinburgh Pride for example... twitter.com/PankhurstEM/status/1219910527918510087?s=09

Paedophiles are still there, still trying to get things amended under the radar. I'm absolutely sure this is not the intent of TRAs pushing for the GRA amendment, but I'm sure paedophiles will be salivating over the prospect of over 16 children who look pre-pubescent, and of course if children are deemed competent to consent to medical transition with all of its ramifications, sex is a much less serious thing for children to be able to consent to...

Not to mention all these children being taught in school to disregard their instincts and boundaries.

I see the big man Frankie Boyle is blocking anyone who disagrees with him. I've always thought he was vile. He's never done anything to make me think otherwise.
