How to complain about Drag Queen Story Time

I'm going to a venue tonight that is hosting the Drag Queen Story Time later this year.
How do I complain about this, without seeming like a right-wing reactionary?
Do I hand in a letter, talking about safeguarding concerns, or how should I approach it? I will obviously be boycotting the venue from now on, if they have such a weak grasp of safeguarding, but I would like to do more than that.
What would you suggest?

Well you are being a right wing reactionary

And that's exactly how a complaint will come off

How do you even propose to link this to a safeguarding concern?

In regards to safeguarding concerns and certain stereotypes that I am seeing I would like to add that I would feel more comfortable for my son to be around a drag queen than say your white, straight middle aged husband for a sleepover. Surely you must know that most sex offenders fall into this group as opposed to drag queens?

Why do you consider this a safeguarding issue?

Do you also consider Pantomimes safeguarding issues too? What about TV shows with drag characters such as Mrs Brown/Lily Savage/Dame Edna etc?

Don't be like this person and ruin it for the children

I am genuinely interested in what the safeguarding concerns are?

Same. Is it a specific drag queen who has done something wrong? Isn't DBS checked?
