A lot of my friends have posted the "I'd rather take my child to a drag show than church" meme, and I just don't understand why they can't stop for a second and think, 'why not neither?' Like, nobody is making us choose one or the other. It's perfectly possible to recognise that there was and still is systemic cover-up to protect child-abusers by the RCC and that drag is mainly adult entertainment and something to be very careful about bringing children to. I don't have any issue with male entertainers playing female characters for children if it's actually aimed at children and makes sense. If the dame in an upcoming pantomime did a kids story reading at the local library to promote the show, that's fine. But some of these kids drag shows have been dodgy, either through their names, what they said/wore, what they read or the backgrounds of some of the individual DQs.

Such light-switch brains. I agree, you can take children to neither. At least priests act civilised when they are in public.

I don’t mind drag queens, but drag is for adults. I also don’t mind male crossdressing in front of children as long as it’s non-sexual, but I still have reservations about these kinds of things. Partly because of drag queen story hour. Anyone who wants to read to children in a library or a school should be verified.
