why is it weird to have drag performers read to kids?
I think it's a great way to humanize the community, and to teach kids tolerance and understanding of people who live life a bit differently.
Family Junior shows "The fabulous show with fay and fluffy" and my daughter loves it.
It's fun, and she also learns life lessons, not just about gay people or drag performers, but it helps teach how to deal with different feelings (such as disappointment) and understanding and accepting people of different cultural backgrounds, too.
I'd love for you to explain to me how it's something weird. Kids are being educated on becoming better people and sometimes heck, they're just getting more story time. nothing weird about that.
It's more weird and maddening) that people are demonizing trans and drag people to the point where they're normalizing them being being threatened, beaten and killed. The hate people are teaching their kids towards a community is more "weird" than a fricking storytime with a guy in a dress.
