What’s so entertaining about a man in a dress?
My local council has a new initiative to get children interested in books. Over the school summer holidays they’re laying on storytime sessions at the local library. Nothing new about that, except that the stories are read by ‘ Drag Queens ’. I’m not the only one to have opinions on this; Ann Farmer has an excellent article in TCW Defending Freedom on how it will leave children confused, and I agree with her wholeheartedly. I have suffered as a result of that sort of confusion for much of my life. My concern is not actually that there will be a man in a dress reading a story to children; it is actually that a big thing is being made that it will be a man in a dress. Diversity is supposed to be about accepting people who want to do different things, not making a song and dance about it. Society has, in one way or another, been making a song and dance about men ‘dressing as ladies’ for centuries, and it doesn’t do any good. Drag Queens aren’t about accepting an individual’s identity
