Drag Queen Story Hour executive director says gun control is needed to protect children: 'Drag queens aren't going into schools to shoot kids'

Drag Queen Story Hour executive director Jonathan Hamilt said that gun control is needed to protect kids.

"You know, 19 students just got shot in Texas, and Texas legislation wants to ban minors from going to drag shows. It makes zero sense. It's a sad, sorry excuse... [for] the lack of gun control, and that's the real issue," Hamilt said, according to the Independent.

A school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, last month left 19 children and two teachers dead.

"Drag queens aren't going into schools to shoot kids... when did we decide that it's appropriate to teach kids how to hide under desks and not to talk about LGBT people and histories?" Hamilt said. "If people really wanted to protect children, it wouldn't be banning LGBTQ education, it would be banning guns."

After a bar in Texas held a "Drag the Kids to Pride" event last weekend, GOP Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton said that he would propose legislation to protect children from being exposed "to drag shows and other inappropriate events."

Florida state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, also a Republican, tweeted that "Drag Sex Shows aimed at children have come to Florida" and announced that he "will be proposing Legislation to charge w/ a Felony & terminate the parental rights of any adult who brings a child to these perverted sex shows aimed at FL kids."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said that Florida has "laws against child endangerment" and that his administration is examining what actions can be taken "under existing, ah, statutes." "Any attempt to criminalise our work is rooted in tired homophobic and transphobic hate and misinformation, and we refuse to give in to politicians who are too bigoted and boring to comprehend our vision for a world in which every child can be safe fully expressing who they are," Hamilt said, according to the Independent.

The issue of exposing children to drag is very controversial — many parents consider the topic to be highly inappropriate for kids.

Drag Queen Story Hour events involve drag queens reading to children, but Hamilt contended that there is a world of difference between DQSH events and adult drag shows.

"I'm not going to lie and say drag is never sexualised, because drag is an art form and it can be sexual like anything else can be," Hamilt said, according to the Independent. "Drag with adults in an adult setting could be sexual, sure. Is it sexual at a Drag Queen Story Hour? No! Do you bring your kids to an R-rated movie? I hope not. There are actors in R rated movies, and those same actors can be in a family friendly comedy that's rated G...

"Someone who is bigoted or doesn't want to do the research, they're not going to understand that an adult drag show at an adult bar, in the evening, with alcohol, is different from a Drag Queen Story Hour nonprofit event at 11am at a public library.

"Obviously, all adults act differently when they're around children and when they're not. Every schoolteacher has a private life outside of working with children, and you act appropriately around children. That's just a normal thing that all adults do, no matter who you are – gay or straight, drag queen or not," Hamilt said.

A drag queen known as "Lil Miss Hot Mess" has authored two children's books that replace the lyrics of well known songs with drag-related themes. A book titled, "If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It," replaces the lyrics of "If You're Happy and You Know It" with words such as "If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It, Blow a Kiss!" and "If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It, Strike a Pose!"

Why would these freaks want stricter gun control?? It ain't out of heartfelt concern for childrens' safety. Maybe this guy(?) has a few skeletons in his closet? It's clear why anyone obsessed with trying to sexualize kids would be so hoplophobic.

Deal with it by...shooting drag queens who prey on children?

As justified as that would be, it is still illegal.

How about a compromise. Keep guns and queers out of schools.

Yet.

Leave to some nutcase to disguise themselves as drag to gain access and do just that.

The last thing the LGBTZRQRSRVBMBNJ community wants is for children to be shot to death. From where will they harvest?

The problem with queers is they are queer.

Gun control won’t protect school children or drag queens.

Only criminals, in particular violent criminals, are protected by gun control.

What Drag Queens want to do with kids is WORSE than shooting them! PERVERTS!

Hey, they can’t groom deceased children. After all, when you’re sick, you want someone to be sick with. Preferably younger, evidently.

“Drag queens aren’t going into schools to shoot kids...”

Yeah. They’re going into schools to groom kids to at in ways they’ll be suicidal about later on; they’ll shoot themselves and save a would-be mass murderer the trouble.

See how far-and-away better that is?

Yes,I suspect it's true that the typical “drag queen” has no desire to shoot kids. However,there can be no doubt that every damn one of them wants to *diddle* kids!
