Don't Pretend Drag Queens at Libraries Aren't Promoting Anything to Kids
American Thinker ^ | 01/28/2019 | T.R. Clancy

Posted on 01/28/2019 7:57:05 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Just when you think the left can't behave worse, we find the inspiring story of public library officials in Detroit suburb heroically defending their "children's story hour hosted by drag queens."

Since 2017, the Huntington Woods library has been hosting "Drag Queen Story Time," where little kids are read to by characters like former Miss Motor City Pride, "Miss Raven Divine Cassadine."  Library official Joyce Krom discovered the San Francisco-born program online, after she followed a Google Alert promoting literacy.  Huntington Woods, a "progressive, diverse community," shares borders with three other woke towns – Ferndale, Royal Oak, and Berkley – which taken together constitute the highest concentration of "CoeXist" bumper stickers outside of California.  Consequently, nearly all city officials fully support DQSH, because they want to keep their jobs.  But one city commissioner, Allison Iversen, a mother of four who resigned her seat last month to move to another city, dared to push back.  In an email to librarian Krom, Iverson questioned the wisdom of DQSH "trying to push this idea that this is something ... completely natural."  Iverson also worried that "the program could be 'planting a seed' about gender fluidity in children who would have otherwise never had to wrestle with the issue in their own lives."

Part-time library clerk Jon Pickell, "who has proudly watched the program thrive," rejects Iverson's concerns as "hogwash."  The clerk, who identifies as gay, says DQSH "is not promoting anything.  You're not going to end up as transsexual ... because you saw a drag queen story hour."

But according to the mission statement on the program's Facebook page, DQSH is indeed promoting something:

DQS captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.

I wonder if Sodom and Gomorrah were called “woke towns” back in the day.

If you are going to have diversity, then have diversity. Point out that opening Story Time to drag queens is a political statement, and that White Nationalist Party members and Klan types will also need to be allowed to read their favorite stories. That's what happened with the sponsorship of "We're taking care of this section of the highway" signs. I do not promote either of those two groups; just trying to note that anything else is pure hypocrisy.

Keep in mind that the 10 year old “drag queen” featured on the Today Show is the way he his, because his 2 ton tattooed Mum let him watch RuPauls Drag Race

Yes I’ve seen that kid.

They are trying to normalize perversions.

That drag queen boy is too young to have gone through puberty, and have any understanding of sexuality and what he’s doing. He’s clearly being used.

And sadly he’s also used by a major TV network, and people who run that network see nothing objectionable about pushing the drag world on all of us.

I see that Ru Paul is going to be a judge on some new reality show. Again, they are mainstreaming this, by featuring someone from the drag subculture on a mainstream entertainment program.

Question—. If the drag story hour is not meant to promote anything or push anything, then why do the liberal types push so hard to set up these story hours??? If it’s really not a big deal, etc, then why would they seek to have these story times in the first place????

First, they try to make it seem normal. That’s why they have tv shows that act if abnormality is perfectly normal. That’s why they march with banners.

Doesn’t change the fact that they are wacko insane.

% of male heterosexual librarians.....

From working in university libraries from 1968-2017 I would say it’s the same as the number there who support Donald Trump.

That’s about equal to the number of men who have been astronauts who walked on the Moon. Or those who drive Yugos to work daily.

He’s not healthy mentally or physically. Notice how skinny he is and the dark circles under his eyes.

you are not going to end up a trans sexual because there is no such thing. These people do not change sexes.

It doesn't even matter if (as we are told) the "average" gay isn't interested in children.

The movement is interested in children.

Drag Queens are there to promote reading? Why not black entrepreneurs, Asian scientists, Caucasian sports stars or Pacific Islanders Computer Scientists?? Why only drag Queens??

You mean 'Desmond is Amazing'? My liberal nephew in law thinks he is a wonderful person. He saw him in person at a gay nightclub.

He used to send me his you tube videos, and I told him that I'm not into seeing a drugged up 11 year old confused kid videos. I told him that is child abuse and I'm not into abuse...

The people who are pushing this will not fare well in the judgment, if they do not repent.

Sin angers the Lord on general principle, but corrupting children is a sin He especially hates and is especially singled out for an exceptionally severe judgment.

Matt. 18:6 and Luke 17:2
