The Real Story Behind Drag Queen Story Hour

Every trumper is a N4T.
The linked article at the bottom of this post is from the website City Journal, which describes itself thusly...

"City Journal is a public policy magazine and website, published by the conservative Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, that covers a range of topics on urban affairs, such as policing, education, housing, and other issues"

The piece I've linked, describes the origin and reality of "Drag Queen Story Hour" and the origin and influence of "Queer Theory" on something which the prog left claims to be "family friendly" and misrepresents as nothing more than otherwise normal men who enjoy "being different", while innocently expressing themselves to audiences that include a few children.

Now, I understand that even if any of the JPP progs actually read it, which I doubt, they will in typical fashion, just blithely brush it off with some derisive commentary about it being a conservative mouthpiece or Trumper propaganda etc, all for the sake of supporting their team.

But The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research is a legitimate public policy research center and their findings are worthy of serious consideration and this article describes in detail, the agenda which the extremist progressive left supports.

And it's not the innocent, family friendly pastime it's been widely described as.

The reason I'm posting this is because I'm betting that the majority of progressives who support drag queens interacting with children, believe the propaganda and are not fully aware of the exact circumstances or the origin of the organization which is behind it and actively promoting it.

Similarly, I don't think most conservatives who oppose the practice know the entire story behind exactly what they oppose.

I encourage everyone here with an opinion on the subject, to take the time to read this piece and at least get a better and clearer idea of what it is that you are either for or against.

Hate me for it if you must, but I'm just trying to pass along the truth.

I started reading it and I will continue later but I am not exactly sure what the point of drag queen story hour is. The article says the left has defended them as an expression of lgbtq pride. What gets me is the pictures of the drag queens in the article at least are all clownish. I admit though I am not an expert in drag queen fashion so they may well be main stream drag queens. I'm also not sure why we can't agree that there is no really good reason to show this stuff to kids and an expression of lgbtq pride doesn't really seem like a compelling reason to do it.

It looks like their reason is to push their social and political agenda, and spread the idea that being one of the alphabet letters is not only normal, but better than normal.

The organization behind them is literally based on a theory that promotes the replacement of the traditional family with a gay/lesbian/trans version of the family.

I don't care what they do with each other but drawing kids into it crosses the line.

I would agree about the kids. The only reason to do this with kids is to lay out a foundation of people who will see this as normal. In some places they'd call this indoctrination.

That's the next group that will be championed by the left. They will become the next protected class, "minor attracted people". They can't help who they love. After that????? Maybe it will be people's "companion" which is the word PETA prefers over pet. They can't help what they love.

The truth? Since when is an opinion piece that cherry picks from other writers the truth?
Mr Rufo claims drag came about in 1896 from a freed black man. While Swann may be one of the first drag queens arrested, Rufo ignores much of the history of drag.

Let's go to one source that Mr Rufo leans on but only takes what supports his thesis.

Far from being simply a debased form of female attire, drag is an autonomous fashion phenomenon. Its “fright” wigs, fringed bustiers, and eight-inch platform heels look as surrealistic as they do in part because drag originally took its cue, not from the streets but from the stage, from the gaudy, over-dressed fashions of the actresses and singers who starred in minstrel shows and vaudeville, the two major varieties of mass entertainment in which female impersonation flourished.

Mr Rufo seems to skip over the fact that drag was in the mainstream for a long time in an attempt to denigrate it as homoerotic instead of as bawdy performers that entertained children and adults.

Then Mr Rufo completely ignores the closing of the article he misrepresents.
Far from seeking to arouse viewers, the contemporary drag queen is in fact precluding this very possibility from the outset through and absurd sexual demonstrativeness that parodies the erotic content of old styles of drag, gutting them of their glamor and thus ensuring that they evoke, not hard-ons, but guffaws, belly laughs and snickers. Bawdiness destroys eroticism. It is the new prophylactic of drag.

Then Mr Rufo completely ignores the purpose of "queering the child's innocence" which is an attempt to reduce suicide in queer children by "the amount of interference in young lives that aimed to straighten out their future."

If anything Mr Rufo seems to be confirming Eve Sedgwick's statement in her 1991 essay. “It’s always open season on gay kids,”

Surely you aren't saying - “It’s always open season on gay kids,”

But it appears you are.

It is demented and sick. Anyone who supports this is a sick mofo.

It's not an opinion piece, liar.

It is a researched, and sourced report.

Never.

DeShameless is a mini-Mussolini.

I don't disagree in principle with some of his agenda, but I do not support the heavy handed way he goes about pushing it.

I pray he never gets anywhere near the WH.

LOL. That's your opinion, man.

I notice you couldn't dispute any of my criticisms of the piece which point out items left out by Mr. Rufo that dispute his thesis.

How did your pro-gay agenda pushing sources justify exposing little children to men in panties?

Of course its an opinion piece. By a right wing hack. He is not a journalist, and this is not journalism. This is the same guy that created the CRT boogeyman for stupid fucks like you. And you fell for it lock, stock and barrel.

Opinion piece by a hack writer.^^^

You support taking kids to see men in panties reading them stories about being queers who have anal sex with each other.

Good thing you're too old to reproduce anymore.

God only knows what kind of shit you'd have them looking at.
