WHY DO CHILDREN NEED STORIES READ TO THEM BY DRAG QUEENS?
This is the pressing question above all!
Anyway, does anyone local know what actually happened. There was a police presence and organised protests apparently. I would love to hear the full story from someone directly involved.
It has become an unbecoming row on our local Facebook page (SE23 Mums). The hectoring posts have been created by the pro drag side.
Feminism: Sex & gender discussions
Anyone know the truth about the protests against Drag storytime at the Honor Oak Pub?

I agree with this. I don’t do FB but know people in the group it’s just meant to be a friendly space

I agree with taking the posts down. It’s meant to be a friendly helpful space for parents. It was being inundated with angry posts and the admins were having to moderate them all. There’s plenty of places to discuss this but it doesn’t need to be there.

As well as that list there is one about a very little boy dressing up as a mermaid, then promptly taken by his ‘accepting’ grandmother to join a ghetto of adult transvestites. It is superbly illustrated and beguiling.
Then another is about a group of boring old llamas, but one of them secretly and guiltily finds a dress up box. He is thrilled by his get up. But then he thinks no one would like him if they knew about his secret. Then he ‘comes out’ to them. Then they all show him ways they too are odd.

There's more about the drag queen in the school on the Isle of Man and the other inappropriate teaching that the kids there have been subjected to. This is from the mother of a 12 year old girl:
The mum’s story was that her child had already been to one such lesson. She was asked to stand with a group of boys ‘she didn’t get on with’, hold a wooden dildo and put a condom on it.

Oh no. Here's another pub thinking Drag + Children works perfectly fine and dandy link.
I'd like to reply I abhor Turning Point UK in every way but I also think Drag + Children is just idiotically wrong. I won't, of course.

The bondage guy did not seem to be in a pub, more like a gym or large hall - hired for the occasion? Definitely not suitable for children.

Yes I saw that post and it was most disheartening how many posters jumped on and added comments to the tune of 'so what?'
So many are captured in the local area with those that aren't afraid to say anything at all for fear of being labelled a terf or a bigot or a fascist. I also avoid the pub now too, but seems like there are plenty others who will continue to support

Why are people so obsessed with transpeople and drag queens all of a sudden? They've always existed yet society's obsession only flared up in the recent 4 or so years.
Also a reminder that stalking and harassing people is illegal, if it's motivated by hate that also makes it a hate crime. This includes false allegations of grooming or suggesting they "need their hard drives checked" (see link).

It was in the Fox and Firkin pub in Lewisham. They have a big event room.
