"Driving from Manchester to Brattleboro takes about two hours."

They could stop at Mary Meyer Stuffed Toys in Townsend for a gender ambiguous stuffed animal.

While we discuss who exactly these “drag queens” are and why they do what they do, I still think children should not be exposed to this.

Maybe it’s a hobby and they enjoy doing it. Ok then.

But, there are many adult oriented things children should not be exposed to.

And I take issue with whoever decided to do drag queen story hour. Why do they consider it important, to dress up in drag and read stories to children? Why don’t they volunteer at libraries in civilian clothes? Why do they insist they have to do it in full drag? That’s what I wonder about.

"I've always been a fan of drag queens. I think they're beautiful and theatrical," Bethany said. "And our oldest child is non-binary, so we're always looking for stuff being put on by the LGBTQ community to help our kiddo claim a safe space. Representation is always a positive."

Oh my God, this is demonic. There's no other word for it. God protect their children.

The comments to this article are amazing. All it takes is for a group of guys to put on women’s clothing and makeup to bring out the torches and pitchforks?

Are people, more specifically FreeRepublic members, really that invested in this snapshot of human behavior that we call normal? There’s not even any sexual activity to get the vapors over, just some guys playing dress-up. Yet somehow that’s enough to make this activity perverted, sick, demonic, vaguely unsafe.

I don’t get the appeal of drag queens myself, but I also don’t see how a man putting on a dress is threatening.

Any fool who brings their child to such an event should have the child taken away from them and be jailed for negligence. They are showing extraordinarily poor judgment and cannot be trusted with the upbringing of a child.

Because Mom and Dad and Presidents and first ladies are such a bore reading those books with liberal political correct feel good stories.

"Never, was I abused like this. Parents must not care."

"... I thought why not," said Kate Paarlberg-Kvam, 41, of Manchester, Vt., who attended the event with her child, Joey, 7"

You said "Parents"; could it just be "single moms"?

Drag queens portray a caricature of women on a part-time basis.

It is another step-stone in the blending of genders in the minds of children. It is 100% bad for our kids and the future of this country.

I see you are a new member at Free Republic. Get prepared for push back from the regulars.

A symptom of a rotten society. Parents dragging their own kids to see this degenerate sickness. No wonder it is so easy for the muslims to walk in and take it over.

It debases society. It breaks down societal norms. It’s what communists do to impose their will.
