I agree that Drag Queen Story-time is way over the line. On the other hand, can we watch Shakespearean comedies at the renovated Globe the way they were originally performed; i.e., with boys playing the female roles? Or Flip Wilson doing Geraldine? Female impersonation has been with us for a long time, and it’s not usually about grooming little boys to get a chopadickoffamee operation.
Your comparisons are specious. Elizabethan theatric productions used males for female roles because females were generally forbidden from the stage. And drag for comic purposes is a little different than drag storytime for kiddies at the local public library. Are the drag fags being presented as over-the-top caricatures like Geraldine or Dame Edna? No, they’re being normalized — mainstreamed — before impressionable children.
The library’s story hour isn’t “Hamlet” or Monty Python.
Yeah, because things done in England circa 1600 are kosher. Back then the king could make a door knocker out of your scrotum if he felt like it. And if you cannot tell the difference in a stage actor in a theater, or in Flip Wilson doing Geraldine... and a pervert drag queen grooming children, I don’t think I can help you.
Why are so many women so friendly to the perverts and homos? I don’t get why you can always count on seeing them rush to their defense.
