Drag Queens are not a sexual orientation.

Not participating in Drag Queen Story Hours is not teaching someone to be pro-discrimination or pro-bigotry, its simply choosing not to participate; for any number of reasons, including age-appropriateness.

For example, when I was about 12 or 13 I had a friend whose favorite movie was Rocky Horror Picture Show. They wanted me to watch it with them, but when their parents asked my parents if it was okay my parents said no, as they did not believe it to be age-appropriate.

Their parents deemed that it was okay for their kids to watch it, and mine did not. There was no discrimination of accusations of bigotry or harming people in that decision, it was simply live and let live. As a kid I was upset about, but looking back I don't see it being a problem. I quickly forgot about it and watched it later in life and enjoyed the movie.

Not seeing it as a kid certainly didn't teach me its okay to be a bigot, I think thats a huuuge leap of logic that doesn't bear out.
