So a few days ago at the Michelle Obama public library in Long Beach, CA to celebrate LGBTQ History Month (wasn't it LGBTQ Pride month just a few months ago in either June or July?) they had a drag queen named Xochi Mochi come in to read stories to kids. It was obviously intended for very young children.
Obviously it makes for a messed-up visual, but the real reason I bring this up is because we've been seeing quite a bit of this lately in North America. There have been drag queen storytime events in Edmonton..
NYC...
Indianapolis...
San Francisco...
Etc. Seriously you can just throw "drag queen story time" in a search engine and you will see results from all kinds of major cities across the US and Canada. Ok so I'm sure we can all agree that this isn't a coincidence - there's a coordinated push by LGBTQ activists here. I need to stress that these aren't at schools, these are at public libraries and parents bring their kids here voluntarily.
I guess my questions for y'all are: wtf do you think about this? Do you think this is just a harmless way to spread compassion, education and understanding of LGBTQ people, or is this a sinister way for activists to try and influence children? Are these spreading to other parts of the Western world other than North America? And how long until they start showing up in kindergarten classes - not in a library on a Saturday, but at your kid's public school?
