Any good Christian–and there are many here-- can’t help but think of Christ’s concern for the innocence of children. How He would weep!
 
I think, for me that is, it just doesn’t look appropriate in general. Of course I don’t know what the person was thinking or feeling in the moment to make assumptions of their intention, but I would raise a brow (physically I can’t, but in a metaphoric way) if I saw anyone regardless of their sex or what they were dress as, to allow a child to crawl on them,especially if I don’t know the person.

But thats how I feel about it.
 
It violates all common standards of adult- child interaction. Even if the man didn’t have to complete any training in proper physical contact with children, he should know better than that. And if he didn’t have to undergo any training, the library is negligent. I wonder if he even had to complete a background check?
Two of these “drag queens,” so far, have been unmasked as convicted pedophiles, both in Houston.

There needs to be a substantial amount of similar cases otherwise it’s just an isolated incident. I’m surprised parents would allow their children to do such a thing.
 
Their joke of a set of parents are supposed to be their advocates. These poor examples of parenting will have to answer for their abandoning of their roles on judgement day. Until then, we can just have some people on Catholic Answers shrug and ask “what’s the big deal?”
 
I doubt this is the end of such stories.

Imagine if someone did this at an elementary school. Though perhaps that’ll be the next phase.

It would violate standards of parent-child interaction for a child to climb on top of their parent?

And since the parents are almost certainly the ones who brought their kids to this story book hour, is it anyone else’s business if they let their kids climb on top of a drag queen?

It very well could be. It seems that the drag queen story hour has its own website for those who wish to find an upcoming DQSH event to take their kids to. Apparently, it’s never too early to start grooming the next generation of drag queens.

Since being a drag queen is mostly a form of entertainment, there probably is only a limited demand for this kind of work, especially if someone wants to be a professional drag queen. I also don’t think that most professional drag queens make very much money doing this kind of work. All the clothes and wigs and makeup are expensive and the pay is low. Otherwise, most people I know who dress in drag only do it for parties or Halloween or something like that. It’s just for fun.

It looks like PBS is onboard.
Some of the kids seem to be a little weirded out by the whole thing.

Thanks for pointing out the typo. Not surprised you seized on it.
The parents are guilty as well, yes. Just like parents who allow young boys to perform as drag queens.
 
Grooming is the term, all right. What all pedophiles are reported to do. Only in this case the pedophile has enablers.

So, do you think that there should be more laws telling parents what they can and can’t do with respect to their own children, realizing of course that some of those laws might not be ones you would like?
 
Ugh. This is flat out wicked. Incredible that some parents are so jaded and sick that they expose their own children to this. Are there no normal, well adjusted people available to read to the children?
Used to be if someone dressed up to entertain while reading it was as a cowboy, a pirate, etc. Now the goal is to confuse kids and question their own gender.
These individuals are mentally and spiritually ill. And anyone who defends this is sick. Period.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
 
I feel bad sometimes that issues like this have become so divisive in this country. And I can see that people on both sides have very sincere beliefs about all of this. I don’t have any children, so it’s unlikely that I would ever go to a Drag Queen Story Hour, but I listened to the little video posted above, and the parents who did bring their children to one of these events obviously felt that they were doing a good thing in terms of teaching their children lessons about diversity and respecting other people who are different. But I also realize that others have very strong and sincerely held beliefs, too, that this kind of stuff creates too much uncertainty for children over questions of gender and that it is therefore harmful for them. I don’t know how to resolve these different world views, but I think that everyone needs to take a step back and not assume the worst about people on the other side of this issue.
 
I always think back to “love the sinner, not the sin.” Often I can fall into that “us vs them” mentality and become bitter about it. But I feel there are ways we can educate our kids about respecting the dignity of others that we don’t agree with, without endorsing the sin. That being said, though, I wouldn’t take my children to a Drag Queen reading as my form of teaching them (If I ever have kids one day), but i’m sure there is a way we can talk about truth. 🙂
 
I feel bad that so many today think it’s perfectly fine to rob little children of their innocence.

I was a little kid once and I doubt that seeing a drag queen would have robbed me of my innocence.

But I did have my innocence robbed starting when I was about 11 or 12 by other kids who bullied me because they perceived me to be different and called me f_g and other names. Some kids can be quite cruel to other kids who don’t fit in, so I think that it is important for parents to teach them lessons about diversity and about being kind to others who somehow seem different.

Just to point out that little children in Britain have grown up with the concept of ‘drag’ for generations - the very popular tradition of ‘Pantomime’ always stars a ‘principal boy’ (who is a girl) and a ‘dame’ (who is a middle aged/older man).

I doubt many have been harmed by the experience.
