Sexualized Drag at Libraries

||
| It is pretty amazing. | ||
| There is this whole controversy. | ||
| We talked about it yesterday on the show in Canada over a feminist named Megan Murphy. | ||
| She gave a speech at a Toronto library in which she maintained that men are men and women are women. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Huge, huge news. | ||
| Hundreds of protesters showed up. | ||
| The mayor of Toronto condemned the library for allowing her to speak. | ||
| So, many on the left would like libraries not to sponsor speeches by feminists who say that men should not be able to enter women's restrooms or women's locker rooms. | ||
| But, libraries are praised for holding drag queen story hour even if things go wildly wrong. | ||
| There's a blogger named Ann Taylor, she's writing at Caffeinated Thoughts. | ||
| She attended an October 17th event at Hennepin County Country Library and shared photos online of a drag queen's exposed crotch. | ||
| According to Taylor, a drag queen showed up to read to small preschool children, wearing a sleeveless cut-off t-shirt resembling SpongeBob SquarePants with midriff exposed, a pink miniskirt, rainbow ankle socks, a black spiked heel that went above six inches. | ||
| The wig he wore was mermaid style, crimping in the color of bright orange and makeup that was far too much under the neon lights. | ||
| The drag queen strode in suggestively past the children, sitting down in a chair before several preschool-aged girls with his legs spread wide, exposing his nylon-covered crotch in front of children sitting at eye level. | ||
| We noticed he did this often while reading nervously before the children. | ||
| There were some 20-plus adults in attendance. | ||
| Some of the fathers who were there, she said, quickly left after they saw the performer themselves. | ||
| There were about 22 children ranging in age from infants and toddlers into elementary school. | ||
| So, just to make clear, what the left would like, no speeches at libraries about men being men and women being women. | ||
| No raising your child to be a boy if he at any point expresses that he believes he's a girl. | ||
| Remove the child from the home. | ||
| And also, very good to have events at libraries with sexualized drag queens parading themselves in front of small children who don't understand what the hell is going on. | ||
| Does this seem kind of perverse to you? | ||
| Maybe because it's pretty perverse. | ||
| Maybe because it's exploitation of children. | ||
| This is not about the protection of the innocence of children or making children open-minded. | ||
| When you are utilizing sexualized imagery in order to twist children to a political point of view and use them as props, that is not to the benefit of children. | ||
| By the way, the Hennepin County Library told The Blaze that the program is relatively new and is unfortunately making mistakes. | ||
| Who could have foreseen? | ||
