Maybe reading to kids is more headline grabbing since that's what most "news" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, this isn't going to grab attention the way "drag queen story hours" do. But this type of rare occurrence does not offset the many more cases where drag queens attempt to sexualize young kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but I think that a lot of what people who say is "sexualizing" is simply reading to kids. If they're reading age inappropriate material or doing other inappropriate things they should be called out and the parents are the ones that should be held responsible.

Sure, some drag queen story hours are more odious than others, although it would be interesting to know what books are being read. But they all (or virtually all, with enough Googling you might be able to find an extremely rare case where it wasn't true, which doesn't obviate the point) involve men dressed in sexualized costumes around elementary age or younger kids. If they're really interested in children's literacy (which strains credulity), why the need for the costumes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're really interested in children's literacy (which strains credulity), why the need for the costumes? I'd hope the books would be age appropriate but now days you might get in trouble for reading Dr Seuss. I haven't seen a lot of pictures from those but the one's I have seen didn't look like anything more than a flamboyantly dressed person. There may be some that dress provocatively but I've not seen those. I have seen video of an event that took place not at a library and some of the drag people were dressed skimpily and there were children present but that's much different than the library story time events.
