No, but I question the moral panic over it. I question whether "drag queen story hour" is by itself obscene or pornographic. I don't believe that the presence of a drag queen by itself is pornographic or harms children.Josh wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 11:22 amSzd,Szdfan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 9:19 amOr perhaps these things are not as widespread as people say they are. I get a bit suspicious if it's always someone else's library that's causing all these problems.QuietlyListening wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 8:59 am I will say we live in a conservative rural area so while yes the city seems to have gotten on board with pushing the LGBTQ agenda it hasn't spilled to the library- which is county not city owned. Maybe that is why.
Are you asserting the things like the drag queen story hour movement don’t exist?
Coincidentally, I yesterday watched the 1957 Bugs Bunny cartoon "What's Up Opera," which adapts and uses songs from Richard Wagner's
"Nibelungenlied" ring cycle. The short opens up with Elmer Fudd dressed up as the demigod Siegfried singing "Kill the Wabbit" to the tune of "Ride of the Valkyrie."
In response, Bugs Bunny (that Waskily Wabbit) dresses in drag as Brumhilde to fool Elmer. At one point, Elmer and Bugs in drag sing about their deep love for each other for comedic effect.
Is this obscene? Is this pornographic? Were Chuck Jones and the Warner Brothers animation department pedophiles and grooming children in the 1940s and 50s?
I have no problem if you don't want to send your children to Drag Queen Story Hour or if there are certain kinds of books you don't want to read. You lose me when you try to make that choice for other parents and their children.
