Drag Queen Story Hour

[gymorgin]

Help me consider all views on this. On one side I think drag queens should have their day and be left in history as not appropriate as a feminist point of view. On another, I can see how it could still be allowed for entertainment but perhaps only adults. However, I then think about panto and that has always been deemed acceptable so perhaps there is nothing wrong with this.

I can't quite decide how I feel about this. Help me consider various viewpoints. (In a respectful way.)

We are super excited to announce that Drag Queen Story Hour UK will be joining us for Pride Month!
A fabulous storytelling drag performer will be reading you some exciting stories in a glorious and unique storytime show, just for us!

You proably aren't wrong about access to children. This is an article Times online today

"A tenth of children aged 16 to 18 want to change gender or have already done so, a report suggests.

The Civitas think tank also found that more than three quarters of parents want the legal right to see all sex and relationships education materials used in school lessons.
It conducted a survey in England of 1,100 youngsters of sixth-form age and a poll of a similar number of parents of younger teenagers.

The older teenagers were asked what they had learnt at schools. Almost a third said that they had been taught that a woman can have a penis while one in five said they had learnt that a man can get pregnant. Two thirds said they knew someone who wanted to or had already changed gender."

I have been reading that the Scottish Tory reader Douglas Ross has voiced concerns over a drag queen story hour event in the Moray Council area. I had the funniest feeling that this wasn't the first time concern had been raised about the use of drag queens in these story telling events and mumsnet has shown me that my hunch was correct
