#notalldragqueens #notallmen

Hmm. 🤔

Drag Queen Story Hour is not about caregiving. That's ridiculous.

It's about drag queens getting performance work because it's the parents and libraries that hire them, and they do this as a virtue signal that makes them think they have done their part for LGBT people when in fact they're only helping the individual drag queens.

Beyond that, I have fewer issue with drag queens dressing up as princesses for Princess Story Hour, but drag is an inherently adult art form. Trying to water it down to expose children to it is like giving them candy cigarettes.

This is coming from somebody with decades of experience and a degree in marketing.

It's clearly indoctrination or else it wouldn't be branded as DQSH.

Ok, if we are looking at this as far as the inherent dangers of virtue signaling, then yes, I agree. Drag Queen Story Hour is not something that should be supported

The original statement, as I perceived it, implied that gay men should not be given…
