Facebook bans moms' group for opposing Drag Queen Story Hour
disrn ^ | Jun 7th, 2020 | Joel Abbott

Facebook has banned the group 500 Moms Strong, an organization opposed to Drag Queen Story Hours — events where men dress as women and read stories to small children at local libraries. This was the third time the group has been shuttered by the platform.

500 Moms Strong was started in 2019 by Anna Bohach of Spokane, Washington to combat the political agenda of Drag Queen Story Hour, arguing that the practice creates a degrading caricature of women and sexualizes children.

Facebook removed the group earlier this week, citing a violation of their "community standards" and arguing that it is "transphobic." The first time the page was shut down was for "hate speech" after a post that said, "Reminder: Women don't have to be polite to someone who is making them uncomfortable." The second time was after a post about a trans-identified male who was removed from a restroom in Idaho.

On Twitter, Bohach announced the group's ban from Facebook and referenced President Trump, with a clear nod to his May 28th executive order that addressed censorship by online platforms.

500 Mom Strong

500 Mom Strong has been permanently removed from Facebook for advocating against Drag Queen Story Hour. I thought President Trump was going to stop this sort of thing from happening?

A page set up to counter the group, 500 Drag Queens Strong, is still active despite public support for groups such as Antifa. Other parody accounts meant to mock Bohach and her group also remain active.

Satan is firmly entrenched in tech America. And gaining power and influence by the minute.

We're not fighting flesh and blood. We need a National Spiritual Revival if we hope to salvage America.

FB is a PRIVATE company & hence intolerant to opposition and even social justice logic. Just like the claims against Big Oil and Big Banks, the mirror image with Big Social Media Facebook!

Why do parents have to take their kids to any story hour run by some stranger? Read to your kids yourself at home, the park, the library, Barnes and Noble, or wherever.

Who the hell takes their kids to these perversion plays. Parents have to be weird themselves and I’m sure they are.

They want to shout out to each other how "Woke" they are. Just like the ones marching and yelling for BLM. Have them walk down a city street alone at night with a few BLM members and see how they treat them. Just showing off to everyone how evolved they are.

https://500momstrong.org/about-us

00 Mom Strong is a group of women who have had enough with the sexualization of our children and the mockery of our femininity. Public libraries across the country are hosting Drag Queen Story Hours and promoting gender queer theory. This is blatant misogyny and degredation of women. Drag Queens are very offensive to women. They are hyper-sexualized caricatures of women. A Drag Queen is no different than a racist donning black face. They mock women and debase our womanhood and femininity. The event is a sexist minstrel show teaching our sons that women are just sexual objects and it is teaching our daughters that they must be overly sexualized to be desired. DQSH is a tool used to sexually groom children. Enough is Enough. WE say NO MORE to a political agenda aimed at degrading women and sexualizing children.

“Who the hell takes their kids to these perversion plays. Parents have to be weird themselves and I’m sure they are.”

I can’t figure it out to save my life. In Mobile, Al., based on video from local news, it was pretty much packed when they had one of these. There were even counter protesters to the people protesting it. Crazy.

If they were born that way, they wouldn’t try so hard to recruit.
