An event in Philadelphia on Saturday apparently set the “world record” for the largest drag queen story hour. A total of 268 people were in attendance, and an official from Guinness World Records documented it. However, people should raise concerns and red flags instead of celebrating such an event.
Having children exposed to scantily clad men dressed as women reading stories to children is, in a word, abnormal. In a second word, it is disturbing. Just as no one would want exotic dancers or provocatively dressed women (or men, for that matter) in front of children, no one should want drag queens, either. In any other instance, the idea of a sexualized adult reading stories to children would never be deemed acceptable. Yet, such dangerously risque material gets a pass solely because the LGBT community favors it.
