    The UK Drag Queen Story Hour Twitter account was locked after drawing fury from various social media users due to a post containing a pro-pedophilia message. The phrase “love has no age” carries pro-pedophilia connotations of both an authentic and inauthentic nature. Some Twitter pedophiles have rebranded themselves as “MAPs”–an acronym for “minor attracted person; another euphemism to make a socially unpalatable cause more acceptable–spout this phrase, while others attempting to satirize internet pedophile have made memes containing the questionable phrase. The tweet that simply read “love has no age” contained a picture of a smiling man in colorful garb...

    Pa. Gov. Tom Wolf and Health Department Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine rolled out new coronavirus restrictions on July 15 in an effort to slow what they feared was another surge in new cases. The order was focused, both said, and targeted one area in particular: Hospitality. Bars, restaurants, wineries, and breweries can now only serve alcohol for on-site consumption if it is purchased with a meal. Peanuts, chips, and pretzels do not count. Instead, the food has to be “prepared on the premises, sufficient to constitute breakfast, lunch or dinner,” per state law. The thinking, it seems, suggests that by...
  • Ali Wentworth Explains Why Parents Should Watch Porn With Their Kids: ‘You Can’t Stop Them’

    Watching adult films with family? Ali Wentworth revealed she “would” view porn with her and George Stephanopoulos’ two children instead of letting them watch it on their own. LOL! Celebrity Parents Reveal Most Inappropriate Things Their Kids Have Said “In porn, women have been conditioned to look and act a certain way,” the comedian, 55, told Debra Messing and Mandana Dayani during the Thursday, July 16, “The Dissenters” podcast episode. “They are performing and it’s dangerous to have boys see this as something women want.”

    Despite similar rates of enrollment into medical care, youth with HIV have much lower rates of viral suppression — reducing HIV to undetectable levels — compared to adults, according to an analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health. Among more than 1,000 youth, most of whom were newly enrolled in care at treatment centers throughout the United States, 12% had attained viral suppression, far lower than the 32% to 63% observed in studies of adults over age 24. The findings suggest that after they enroll in an HIV treatment program, a low proportion of youth adhere to care regimens....

    A council in Newham, a borough of London, England, has announced its plans to host a series of Drag Queen Story Times for preschoolers in the community. According to Infowars, however, Newham has a bustling population of Muslims, who vehemently and vocally oppose all expressions of homosexuality and gender confusion. This should go over well. “The first of our Drag Queen Story Times for under 5s & their parents & carers at @NewhamLibraries this #LGBTHM20 is on Friday,” Newham Council said in a tweet earlier this week. “Come & listen to fabulous stories, beautifully told.”

    The Daily Signal ^ | January 27, 2020 | Mary Margaret Olohan
    Drag Queen Story Hours started out as niche events on the West Coast, but these events—aimed at children as young as age 3—have spread to libraries and schools across the United States, dividing local communities. These story hours are “just what they sound like,” Drag Queen Story Hour’s official website states: drag queens reading to children. The events are designed to be about 45 minutes long for children aged 3 to 8 years old, intended to capture children’s imagination and help children explore their gender fluidity through “glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.” Books used during Drag Queen Story...
  • Children’s Pole Dancing Demonstrated, Defended on Live TV in UK

    When you think of pole dancing, surely you do not think of it as a sport for young children rather than a sexually explicit activity that takes place in dark, seedy nightclubs. Apparently, this isn’t a ubiquitous option anymore, though. In the U.K., controversy erupted from those who still consider pole dancing to be entirely inappropriate for children after three young girls did a demonstration on ITV’s This Morning in which they showed off the “skills” they’ve learned while attending Pole Intentions classes in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. These classes are being defended by instructors and governing sports bodies alike, shockingly....

    Within the last decade or so, drag queens went from being a niche and esoteric art form intended for adult audiences, to a growing worldwide phenomenon with millions upon millions of fans. With drag’s massive boost in popularity came the intersecting of drag and children. Across the United States and Canada, drag queens have been asked to participate in Drag Queen Story Hour, and events of a similar nature. According to Hennepin County Libraries, the events promote “self-expression, dress-up, and gender fluidity through stories, rhymes, music and movement with drag performers” from around local communities. Hennepin County Library has become...

    On September 10, 2019, San Diego MassResistance brought together outraged parents, citizens, pastors, and others to confront the Chula Vista City Council. They were irate over the Council’s refusal to cancel the “Drag Queen Story Hour” which took place in the city’s public library earlier that day – and the possibility of more such events happening. "I never thought I would use the word politician as a pejorative. I am tonight. Because it was clear that this Drag Queen Story Hour is an attempt to use to use children as pawns in an adult political sexual agenda. Children who are...

    So, at least the drag queen story tellers are being honest about who they answer to! A pentagram and Satan’s signature – yeah, we get it. I am so glad that this church leadership had the courage to speak out against the satanic Drag Queen Story Hour. It’s sick and foul, and many of these drag queens have pedophilia listed on their very long rap sheets. “…but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Luke 22:53 (KJV) But when I look at photos of these drag queens, the people I am most angry about are the parents of...

    A Baptist pastor was arrested and jailed on Saturday after refusing to move across the street from the Spokane, Washington Public Library while exercising his free speech against a “Drag Queen Story Hour.” The event had a significant militaristic police presence, including camouflaged snipers positioned atop the roof to oversee the large crowd that stood both for and against the men dressed like women reading stories to children.
