In addition, I don't identify with the woke. I also do not identify with the far-right. I do not identify with either of them.

I think about when I was a kid. I was never exposed to drag queen or even porn as a kid. I think we should keep it that way. I am thankful I was never exposed to that stuff as a kid. Childhood should involve awareness, but innocence, morals, and values too.
I totally agree with you. It comes down to morals.

Why drag queens? Explain the reason that it has to be drag queens.
Exposure. This isn't about reading to kids. This is about exposing kids to drag queens young so that they can see this as "this is the way things are, and you should learn young how to accept this".

This is all it is for me. Morals and values. I think about how I was raised. It wasn't perfect, but I can say I was raised with a more solid moral foundation that what we see with drag queens. And I wasn't raised in a politically conservative home. Socially, it was more conservative. God, family, keeping up with one's grades in school. And I was raised in a home with BOTH parents. None of that drag queen stuff would fly in our home.

I could relate to certain things in social conservatism (the religious part of it). I could not identify with the political far-right. Big difference. One reason I've kept my mouth shut until now.

It's normalizing them which I think is evil.

It's not normal to me. Neither is this transgender stuff. I was born a man and I'm staying a man until the day I die (and hopefully, I live to be at least 90 years old).

Do you honestly believe that it’s drag queens and only drag queens reading stories to kids?

If he's convicted, he'll probably appeal based on the pronoun thing - and likely win given what's happening this day and age.

Agree, it's not partisan. There just happen to be a lot more crazies that stand on the Democrat side (people like Maxine, AOC, Schumer, etc., etc.). But there are plenty of rational, common sense Democrats. Republicans have their share of right wing nuts as well, but they're not given the air time and acceptance as their left wing counterparts.

Fully agree with you, GM. Children have only a handful of years in which to be innocent, untouched, and unburdened by adult matters. Good post; thank you for it.
