There is an odd, blinkered movement that offers the argument that Drag Queens should not be reading stories to children.
Clowns and panto are fine though.
I think it's probably more damaging for the children to see grown adults, quite a lot of them cis women, threatening and screaming at them and their families going into a library or gallery.
Their 'think of the children' / 'protect children' argument falls down with this sort of behaviour.

I think when people state there is no need for Pride events and that being gay or bi "isn't an issue" these days, we should remind them of things like this |

I don't understand it! How is a Drag Queen different to a Pantomime Dame! People take their kids to the Pantomime each year.
Here's a shocker, the kids don't give a damn....they just love a story |

Section 28 only ended in 2003... and we're fast approaching seeing something similar appear.

Drag Queens are artists in their own right. I don't see the problem in a drag queen reading a story to children. I recently went to an amateur Pantomime where the lead male character was played by a female. Nobody batted an eyelid. |

The Principal Boy in panto is traditionally played by a woman. |

Probably the same people who were sat on motorways. |

Not really. The whole outrage about Drag queen story time is more of a right wing rage that's spilled over from America. The sticky motorway people are more left wing environmentalist people |
