You're right. I mean, when the library then starts putting on safer sex presentations along side drag shows and raffling off chest binders to CHILDREN as young as 9 years old, I guess it's all good, right??

I mean, what 9 year can't use info on safe sex and a chest binder?

Libraries Respond: Drag Queen Story Hour | Advocacy, Legislation & Issues

Of course, parents are free to make their own decisions, and if they want to simply not take their kids to drag queen story hour and continue having their kids read the Little House books, they are free to do so -- and that would be my personal choice if my kids were still young.

P.S. I just discovered that this story is five months old, but apparently, drag queen story hour is still continuing. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/50...een-story-hour
The main story line is about Laura Ingalls Wilder's own life, literally her autobiography written in such a way that it appeals to young readers.

It is a blessing if my 6-7 year old nephews choose to pick up a classic like "little house". They have plenty of time (perhaps a life time) to see drag queens in action. No need to listen to their stories.

You are the one that says nine-year-olds. My definition of "tweens" is eleven and twelve. And I would think that the raffle would be open to the teens that want a chest binder. Of course, I'm okay with a teen event organized by teens for teens. I think the library is an appropriate venue for such an event, and I think that teens who are discovering that their sexual identity isn't mainstream need to find support networks. I would rather they have that support than commit suicide, but that's just me.

well, drag queen definition is

a man who dresses up in women's clothes, typically for the purposes of entertainment.

So drag queen has little to do with one's sexuality or sexual orientation or gender identity.

we have a nice lady ( geekygirl ) who is a transexual, I wonder if she wants to be labeled as a drag queen.

Hopefully, she can comment on this.

You are OK with teens teaching kids safe LGBT sex in a public library? Followed by a drag show and raffle of transgender-body products (chest binder)?

PS. TGs commit suicide because they are mentally ill. Not because there aren't enough library programs that show how to use a condom.

Good flipping grief.

Right.

So why are drag shows almost always associated with LGBT events?

What percentage of drag queens are heterosexual?

Why not. Entertainers entertaining kids. They are willing to volunteer their time to read to kids and they are entertaining.

If I have a choice: Little house or drag queen show / story telling

My choice for my nephews and my little Godson would be "little house" book reading. Not like I have anything against drag queens, I just have my own preference for my boys.

So is it okay to watch 'The Waltons' or not.

I remember the music from 'Little House on the Prarie', as soon as the music came on, you knew it was time to switch channels.

However I certainly won't be watching the Rocky Horror Show instead.

They commit suicide because of the way they are treated by conservative Christians. Same as has historically been with gay people.
