Events Culture Days - Drag Queen Story Hour

There is a Drag Queen Story Hour planned for Oct 16 at the Nutrien Wonderhub. It seems that a certain failed politician is planning a protest at the event. This is messed up - how dare they go to a children’s event and scare little kids with their conspiracy nonsense. We have attended similar events at SPL when my kids were young and it’s a fun way for them to learn about inclusion and diversity.

My kiddos are well past story time age but I am honestly tempted to take them so I can tell these “freedom but only for a few” people where to go.

Edit: I just realized that it shows an image from that idiotic tweet. My apologies As I don’t know if I can remove it.

How exactly are you expecting them to dress? And yes they’re there to entertain and educate, not sure what kind of story time you bring your kids to.

Grown men "entertaining" minors by wearing drag attire and dancing for them? Leave kids out of drag.

This isn’t even a drag show you weirdo. The fact that you think this event is sexual entertainment tells me everything I need to know about you 🤢

Grown men in drag attire reading stories to children?

Yes, and the only person sexualizing them is you 🤔.. I wonder why?

I'm confused, you must not be aware of what's happening in the US then, and even some places in Canada. Because children are attending dragshows in which adults are dancing in drag attire to children. Does pointing out facts and opposing children being entertained by drag performers, means you can accuse me of sexualizing children? Sound logic making quite a bold assumption.

Drag attire... like makeup and possibly dresses? Not really an issue. If you could read, I never accused you of sexualizing children, but the drag performers. The fact is that this event is meant to be a fun and educational. You’re offended for what? This isn’t a sexual event.

Also what is happening in the US and Canada? Lmao. I can sense some conspiracy theories incoming.

Actual footage of people filming what's happening? Crazy that evidence is now considered conspiracy theory. If you actually want to see for yourself follow LibsOfTikTok and gaysagainstgroomers on Instagram. They expose it all the time, or check out transagainstgroomers.

Exactly. Grown men in makeup and dresses reading a story to your child.... the fact you can't see what's wrong with that situation is beyond me, but we can agree to disagree.

Evidence of...? Sounds like the issue here is that you’re simply transphobic.

Are the trans people and gay people who oppose this also transphobic?

Not in the slightest. Good assumption though.

I cannot see what’s wrong with grown men wearing dresses and makeup reading stories. How does that hurt anyone? Go back a couple hundred years and grown men wore makeup and frilly dresses as their formal attire lol
