assuming gay men who do drag are all pedophiles is JUST homophobic. "Drag Pervs Sex Hour", do you even listen to yourself? I get the distinct impression you enjoy all this.

Drag is a sexual performance.

Acknowledging that isn't a smear against gay men. Many drag acts have refused to do this storytelling for that reason.

Just because they aren't all perverts doesn't mean I want them telling my kid a story in fishnets and ridiculous makeup and heels.

If perverts get the idea they are welcome and use these story hours to target kids yeah that is a problem.

Same thing with men in dresses sneaking in to harm women. Just because every trans person isn't like that it doesn't mean you can't attempt to protect yourself from getting into a vulnerable situation.

Drag queens go ahead and do drag in your clubs not in our libraries. We don't serve liquor in libraries either, some behavior is inappropriate for an all ages venue.

Where did I say that gay men who do drag are all pedophiles? NOWHERE.

I specifically talked about libraries and Drag Pervs Sex Hour, a topic I know a lot about. Obviously, enough to take action on.

Please, stop with the defensiveness and personal attacks. We are all here for the same reason: concern that our rights are being eroded or destroyed by gender ideology.

Also, would you please explain why drag is celebrated when "cultural appropriation" like the kind Hilaria Baldwin indulged in, results in social and career destruction? Drag is disrespectful to women, while Baldwin has a deep love of Spain and its culture.

Or do you not think that women are oppressed, even though, in the progressive US, women of all colors lacked basic rights, sometimes until recently?

For instance, women my grandmother's age didn't have the right to vote until their late 20s. She was the first woman in her career.

My mother couldn't get a line of credit without a man cosigning. I myself was not allowed to take "boy" classes until after Title IX.

So drag is an oppressive group, men, doing exaggerated caricatures of an oppressed group, women, for laughs. Surely that should be considered a little offensive in a country, the US, where white women wearing hoop earrings are considered "cultural appropriators"?
