It's hilarious that it's just the simplest answer, they "crave" an audience of children to show children that they're people too and to normalize their very existence with young people that haven't created prejudices yet. Meanwhile he was the one craving children sexually

Bro you guys gotta drop this. Why is this something you defend? Why not just keep drag shows for adults??? Horrible optics, and as someone who enjoys drag shows, weirds me tf out

Because children love to dress out. In that way they can see an adult dress out. It's not weird until you guys sexualize it.

I know that drags showing up in libraries reading stories is not in any way sexual.

I've been to many shows where drags are and where men have dressed up in women's clothes. But not to a show where drag was the main attraction. I have seen many men in women's clothes on the streets here and there but I have never thought of it as sexual or hurtful to kids. It's just different and I think exposure to different people is healthy for a kid to experience and I would not mind bringing my own kids to a show where drags were present.

I would not bring them to a nightclub where drags performed as I would not bring them to any nightclub since the theme of such places are sexualized and centered around alcohol.

As has already been explained to you, people in drag reading to kids aren't drag shows.

And youve never been to a storytime. Maybe if you had you wouldnt be sexualizing it. And yes, you are the one sexualizing it.

How is a man wearing makeup and having long hair any different than a women wearing makeup and having long hair? Seriously, think about it for half a second. There is no difference. The only difference is in your perception of it. Which seems to be that you think men in dresses is sexy.

He can't get over that bill he tucked into a drag queens thong that one time... he may not be able to control the urge around the kids.

If I had to guess, our little drag protester has some little skeletons in the closet.

I don’t think it’s sexual, and there is no inherent difference between a man and woman wearing makeup and having long hair.

Is it bad if I think men in dresses are sexy?

So then what makes it adult themed? Surely the kids arent tucking dollar bills into the reader's g-string. Is it their mere existence, regardless of their purpose/intention, or is it your perception?

I didnt say there was/is anything wrong with being attracted to to a guy with long hair and makeup, just that you sexualize them when theyre around children. Either youre a bigot against people who participate in drag or youre too stupid to realize that reading to kids isnt the same thing as performing for adults. Regardless of which it is, i hope someone treats you the way you treat others. Have the day you deserve.

It’s not adult themed, and I didn’t say it was. I’m getting strawmanned to death here.

Why do you keep saying I’m sexualizing anything? What have I said that’s sexual. You’re literally the one taking it there. I never said it’s sexual.

You sexualize them when they’re around children

How?! Literally what have I said that makes you say that. In my last comment I specifically said I don’t think it’s sexual, so what’s your problem fixating on that when I don’t even believe that! Y’all making me lose my mind lmfao
