Clear distinction between DQ performances for consenting adults and inappropriate sexualised performances in front of children.

While scrolling through, I happened upon this clip - Megyn Kelly discussing why drag performers are inappropriate and unacceptable around children.

I wish all those who think it is harmless, creative and joyful fun for children would listen, as she sums up the motive, result and reality of the damage to children very starkly.

In Melbourne councils are holding an emergency meeting on far-right protestors to drag story time.

The wilful blindness is incredible. It's also mothers, far right or otherwise, that don't like it, but no one seems to be capable of recognising that.

I have actually attended many storytimes, and while I agree that drag queens are sexualised by definition and they mock women, I also fail think they completely take away from what storytime is about, which is stories.

I have never seen a male librarian do storytime. It was women's work. It's so absolutely boring and predictable than when a man deigns to read to children he has to make it all about him.

The reader is conveying the story. Any decent author or reader or listener will know that. Story time is about developing children's love of literacy, which will in turn develop their empathy and open mindedness.

These people are narcissists and grifters and attention seekers and they just want an audience. It's boring.

I also used to run a story time session at our library - all voluntary and not plastered all over SM coz y know, it wasn't all about me - and I'm quite sure if I'd rocked up dressed as some individuals who do DQ StoryTime I'd have been challenged by library staff and parents

But when a man does it hey! It's all glittery inclusivity

It’s about normalising drag. Nothing to do with LGB.

Show quote history

It's not for the children. It's for the benefit of the performers. Why else would a man want to wear a skin-tight costume, or 'forget' to put any underwear on when reading a story to children?

Wtaf is that? @OldCrone 😲

It's two men taking different routes to display their genitals to children.

SirChenjins · 18/05/2023 14:12

I know. Where did that happen and what happened to those men?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 18/05/2023 14:21

This one freaks me out.

The one in the stripy outfit is Aida H Dee who does DQSH events in the UK.

I think the one who forgot his underwear was in the US.

Revolting men - we see them for exactly what they are.
I hope the latter was charged with indecency offences and the former takes his razor sharp glitter and fucks off to the far side of fuck.

@OldCrone @YetAnotherSpartacus
Those photos are horrific. Gob-smackingly so.
