I also kind of wondered, why Drag Queens and not Drag Kings? Why just Drag Queens specifically? I really have no idea what the point of it is. It's just really weird and kind of creepy anyway. Like it'd be if they decided to make a Burlesque Dancer Story Hour. Why would you specifically get people who work in adult entertainment reading to kids? I mean if someone who happens to be a Drag Queen or Burlesque Dancer wants to volunteer at their local [insert whatever institution here] and work with kids just as a person that's one thing. But doing it specifically AS a Drag Queen or Burlesque Dancer or whatever other adult entertainment worker is weird and questionable.

If they're doing it to try to normalize gay people with kids then why the fuck would they choose Drag Queens to represent us all? Drag Queens aren't even representative of your average gay man. It's almost like they're trying to make us look bad on purpose.

Exactly!!!!! If the point is to normalize gay people, they’re doing it wrong. If the point is for entertainment, then they’re entertaining the wrong audience.

What is the point and how do we let the world know that most LGB people don’t support drag queen events for children???
