How Drag Queen Story Hour Expanded Across America
The Daily Signal ^ | January 27, 2020 | Mary Margaret Olohan

Posted on 01/27/2020 1:41:10 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

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 Hours focus on gender identity and same-sex relationships. At a Jan. 22 Drag Queen Story Hour in Ithaca, New York, drag queens Coraline Chardonnay and Tilia Cordata read the books “Prince and Knight” and “Maiden and Princess,” books created to explore gender through fantasy.

“In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real,” the Drag Queen Story Hour’s website states.

The New York City-based organization did not respond to repeated requests for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Queer author Michelle Tea reportedly organized the first Drag Queen Story Hour in San Francisco, California, in 2015. Tea had just given birth to a baby boy and frequently attended library story hours, but said they were “really straight” and did not properly include her queer family.

“There is just a sort of flair with which queers do anything,” she told BuzzFeed News in November 2018. Tea did not respond to requests for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s just a certain sense of humor, a sense of the fantastic.”

Well, if you think about it, kids are easy to mold. Hitler created all kinds of ways to co-opt them and they were true believers. The Khmer Rouge had 6 year old enforcers running the killing fields. The Soviets made heroes of kids who reported their parents. Now here, schools foster the idea that kids can report parents for a range of offenses, doctors ask if mommy and daddy have guns, they tell them they can have condoms and abortions and keep it secret.

Kids are easily lead astray. That is why Jesus said anyone who leads a child astray deserves a millstone around the neck and thrown into the sea.

This yet more insanity by leftist losers and mentally-ill perverts. Why do leftists hate children (see abortion, NAMBLA and child abuse by drag queens)?

I thought gay conversion was banned.

In the olden days a group of men would have taken this piece of filth out behind a shed, gelded him, and beat the coon dog s**t out of him.

But that was the olden days.

This is a deep state international program. It has advocates in Sweden and Ireland. Many of the readers are convicted child molesters. You are considered really progressive if you bring your child to such an event.

There is no non-violent way to defeat this phenomenon. If there was, it would not exist. The power of the State, at the point of a gun, has been used to bring filth and perversion down upon the heads of our children. If the parents of our communities organize to put an end to this madness they will be arrested and prosecuted, and drawn into expensive, lengthy litigation and injunctions will be enacted against them by the imperial judiciary. So the question is: are you willing to resist? Are you willing to be arrested and to go to jail to preserve the purity of your children? What are they worth to you? I tell you now, and for all eternity, that if you run and hide; if you refuse to fight, they will not forgive you for your cowardice, nor will Heaven. Man up and stop the madness. Now!

I agree. In my neck of the woods, drag queen bingo is a thing. No one under 18 allowed. It is kind of a hoot and raises a lot of money for charity, especially if you can convince enough volunteer firemen to take part.

It’s kind of on the level of those tarts and vicars parties the British like to throw.

No adult activities, except for some drinking, and a lot of adult jokes.

Thanks for the mention.

That’s one I’d have to take a pass on.

I read that Oregon was thinking about letting nurses go to people’s homes after they give birth to children so that they can help parents with learning parenting skills but I think they are just looking for a way to snoop around the house, ask a few nosey questions, find out how conservative mom and dad are. Are there any guns in the house? What sort of literature is found in the house etc.

What is wrong these parents?

Fathers are disengaged from their children’s day to day life. They let mom run the show, and mom, is generally complicit.
