There's been a very vocal minority of people who take the time to express outrage at Drag Queen Storytime.

Psychology today explains this minority: "The outrage and fear these opposers demonstrate is unfounded and based largely on hatred of nonconformity (and perhaps unacknowledged fears about their own sexuality)."

In response to your title, Drag Queen Storytime is not a drag show and is not sexual. No one is promoting sexual drag shows to children.

The reason drag queens want to read to children is for the psychological development and well-being of the children.

    You realise breitbart is creative fiction, right?

      Are you claiming what is said in the article never happened?

      Certainly not in the way breitbart report it.

      Do you realize that your own source is purely an opinion?

      An expert opinion.

        I didn't know that Dr. Kort's opinion was controversial amongst psychologists.

        What's your source for the mainstream psychological opinion refuting Dr Kort?

        I didn't know pedophiles "grim" as ladies. What's your source for that?

        So you admit that that event where transvestites dressed in a sexually suggestive fashion performed sexually suggestive acts in front of children did happen.

        No. I would need to see some fact-based source on that.

          I linked to a fact based source

          Did you? I only saw a link to the fake-news site breitbart. What was your fact-based source?

          Dr Kort is a trans-activist.

          To someone who's opinions are not based on reality, every expert will appear to be an activist.

          The point is that he is an expert. If you have an expert opinion that counters it, link it and I will read it.

            Anybody who denies the sexual nature and history of drag shows is a liar. And anybody who lies about the sexual history and nature of drag shows while promoting them for children is a groomer.

            Anyone who injects a sexual nature into storytime is expressing an outrage and fear that is unfounded and based largely on hatred on nonconformity ... and perhaps unacknowledged fears about their own sexuality.

            Drag queens are sexual and always have been. Stop lying.

            Nope, a drag queen is just a guy in drag. They can be doing anything.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(clothing)

            Perhaps you find a guy in drag overwhelmingly sexual, even if they're reading a story book to kids at the library, that's okay.

            But it's just you.

            Nope, drag has been sexual from the beginning. Stop lying, liar.

            I've given you links to what drag is.

            You're wrong, and your throwing around the words "liar" without providing any reasoning or sources shows your poor approach to critical thinking.

            There's nothing more I can do: I don't want to shame your kinks, but most people wouldn't find the outfits at drag queen story time erotic.

            Oh look, it's someone denying the sexual nature and history of drag shows.

            That person is a liar.

            Stop lying.

            Stop moving the goalposts, like an utter drooling moron. You think I can't remember what we're talking about?

            1) The origins of drag.

            2) Drag queen story time.

            Stop trying to bring in drag shows.

            That person is a liar.

            Stop lying.

            Oh, the irony.

            Get your hand off your dick and try to think rationally.

            Oh look, personal insults in violation of Saidit TOS, the last resort of someone who has lost an argument.

            LOL

            My comment again gave supporting evidence, which is "counter argument", raising the argument of the pyramid of debate, as highly valued members of this community do. You have responded with "contradiction". This is dragging down the discussion on the pyramid of debate, and against saidit values.

              Since when do you ever follow the pyramid of debate? You literally just used insults.

              [–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

              Once you used insults like "liar", you successfully dragged the discussion down to your level.

              Liar isn't an insult, it's a statement of fact. Anybody who denies the sexual nature and history of drag shows is a liar.

                What's your best evidence of that?
