“We talk about things like playing pretend, different animal noises, different instruments we like to play and singing,” Jackie Cox says. “All the things that happen in drag can happen in a way that is appropriate for children.”

would, like Missouri’s bill, mandate that each library elect a committee that would “determine whether any sexual material provided to the public by the public library is age-inappropriate sexual material.”

The legislation was introduced in both the state’s House and the Senate by Republican lawmakers Rep. Andy Holt and Sen. Paul Bailey. Holt, a farmer and a Baptist deacon whose motto is “Grow crops, not government,”that while he doesn’t want “big government” telling us “how to live our lives,” he’s in favor of “keeping things in public facilities age-appropriate to protect children from being exposed to things they shouldn’t be exposed to at a young age.

Jackie Cox stressed that Drag Queen Story Hour events have “nothing to do with sex or any negative things that you would want to keep a child away from.” Jan lamented the “misconceptions” and “preconceived notions” people have about drag queens, which lead them to think drag performances should just be relegated to nightclubs.

BoycottNBC BOYCOTTNBC SHOWS PRODUCTS ETC. NBC PROMOTING DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR DRAG QUEEN CHILDRENS PARTIES. NBC IS A DISGRACE

There is absolutely nothing normal about this!you&any parent who promotes this&puts their children in harms way belong in a prison cell. It is something you never get over. you have to live with it.A life sentence&these children are innocent.Its not OK!

MBC it is quite disturbing that you are promoting drag Queen story hour!they have openly admitted they are grooming children for sex. Its exactly what theIR doing.TRYING 2 NORMALIZE IT. As someone who was abused as a child.YOUR absolutely disgusting PUTTING children in harms way.

If there is nothing sexual about what Drag Queens do, then why do they dress up like sex goddesses as men?

No, it's just sick.

I think NBC has finally picked a topic that many on the left and the right agree on and that agreement is Drag Queen Story hour is really grooming and very inappropriate. Sick!

That's a grown man in drag caressing a 6-yr-old girl....

Homeschool

This is disgusting and wrong in every way. My grand child will never be at 1 of these disgusting readings. All they are doing is recruiting these kids

It’s never appropriate to have professional adult sexual burlesque dancers in evening clothes for daytime reading to kids. The motive of drag queens to dress & act as they do is 100% sexual. So why do you want them around kids & why do these men want to be near the children?

And we talk about botox, and fake titties, and walking the street after the bars close and getting into cars and.....

Is that Matt Lauer ?

Children should not be sexualized. These people are sick!

Who's idea was it to start bringing drag queens into elementary schools?

It’s wrong.

Wait a minute. I thought they just wanted get married?

Idk why drag queens would want to do library events with kids anyway. I mean won’t that be teaching them that they’re more like clowns? Isn’t that the opposite of what the point is?

Why does it have to be drag queens doing this?

No. No no no. No.

Promoting sexual play pretend is abuse to children.

If it's all so normal and natural why does it have to be artificially promoted to children in order to normalize it?

Imagine at library if we had Catholic Priests' Lutheran Pastors' and Baptist Ministers that said 'we talk about all the things kids can do while accepting Jesus as their saviour'? NBC would scream to high heaven (pun on purpose) that they were indoctrinating children.

Visit here for complete SEO COURSE

Depraved and sick! REPENT! The LORD rebuke these DEMONS!

Sick perverted people influencing kids trying to innocently say “we’re just showing them things they do anyway”... yea like twerking and having a beard with a dress and makeup on. Not normal, perverted

Yes they should ban.

MENTALLY ILL

Hell no! Wake up!

Child endangerment. Stop supporting this crap.

Disgusting and repulsive!

This is pathetic.

Poor kids. Shame on their parents.

Stop this crazy pedo normalization!

Nothing But Crap at it again, promoting abuse and teaching confusion to children.

I forgot one more I am waiting for, maybe we should have Porn Stars do story hour? Too bad LisaAnn retired

Gee in my day they used Clowns and maybe people dressed in costumes. Me personally waiting for the BDSM movement to start story time...

Keep your Mental Health Issues away from our KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG.

You are pedophiles doing your best to groom children. You may try to pretend it's different, but good parents know the truth. After the most pure and innocent, from the womb on up.

Normalizing mental illness will destroy a sane society.

Get bent, pedo news

No

It’s called grooming.

Jackie Cox huh is that its name or a description of part of the show. I am a homosexual man and I knew allowing same sex marriage would open the floodgates but even I didn’t expect so much sewage behind those floodgates. This must stop today.

This is the hill you want to die on?

We should start doing “alcoholic story hour”. Alcoholics are just human beings that don’t feel like sober is a reality. We should celebrate them.

Sodom and Gomorrah

“Pretend” like pretending to be a different gender? 🤔

So are they like clowns?

Absolutely disgusting.

Children should not be subjected to this nonsense sorry this is child abuse!😠

Parents are really stupid. There is no need for this. The kids are too young to understand. It's entertainment for the adults. There is no value to this. It's all political.

Listen fools, this is absolutely INSANE! Wake up! No queens at our libraries!!!

No. Stop giving this deviancy a voice and a platform. Leave our children alone!

I call:

So wrong! Leave the dressing up for adults and leave the children alone

What was once hidden and shunned is now applauded and normalized.

One can do what they want or say what they want as long as they don't hurt anyone. So how are these children being abused? Children do not possess biases or judgments. They are taught that by small minded people.

Why?

Degenerate pedophiles.

garbage

2/2 I learned self respect is something you earn, but only you can give it & I learned you don’t need anyone’s approval to be yourself. I learned that the work you do should bring joy to your soul. BTW: Children aren’t threatened by honest, caring adults. Y’all should try it.

NBC grooming children.

There's no point in trying to say anything to anybody who approaches this behavior from the perspective that this is an example of fully mature, mentally and emotionally stable adults. If that's your starting point, then you're already beyond the reach of rationality.

I learned everything I know about recovering from a broken heart from a Drag Queen. I learned joy, crafts, that having a circle you can call at 3am, & all go for coffee is more value than judgemental fuckers who can’t take a joke, ignoring you. 1/2

Why would I want my child in this setting... this is ridiculous

Drag isn't appropriate for children..

Evil pedophiles

Let them see U in a club when they’re able to form their own opinions about the Drag Scene! Schools or libraries shouldn’t be the place or time to throw this at young, impressionable young children! Yeah, it’s my opinion, but there you have it!

They will be judged.

Not appropriate for children!

Your drag queen mental illness is not allow around my child.

disgusting. hopefully, the bills pass in Tenn. and Missouri. Otherwise, they may use different means of sending the message that evil around children will not be tolerated.

No No No No No

Pedo check? FAILED before!!!

psychotic

HELL NO! Absolutely sickening

I can’t imagine it takes too long for a kid to figure out when a grown man in drag is “playing pretend”. Talk about “different instruments”!Stick to HamburgerMarys MrWinky

This is CHILD ABUSE.

No. No they can't. Shameful

This is what tolerance has wrought

They ought to be experts at “playing pretend”

Holy shit this is grooming even if the drag queen doesn’t realize it which I call BS .. how bout don’t come for the kids.. don’t

Soooo you're basically toddlers in adult bodies?

Ah yes, more pretending. Just be yourself they say, oxyMORONS.

Animals belong in cages.

Freaking its maams

The confusion they are sowing in children is evil, straight from hell.

No. Grooming children is never appropriate. It is abuse.

NBC would promote this garbage. They are becoming worse than CNN.

This comes down to the responsibility of the parents. Parents take their children to this. It’s their choice to. As long as this 💩 is not forced on the children.

This is a grown man in a dress fighting for the right to be around children, he's a pedophile.

It's called Grooming

This is not okay.

This is fringe insanity, not liberals support this nonsense. They just keep quiet to avoid being canceled.

Drag em. That went out window three years ago

Trying to normalize behavior that is not considered normal is a rough road. But this is an attempt to desensitize children to this behavior. However, children need stability and part of that stability includes not creating gender confusion. IMO this can't be good for these kids.

Playing pretend 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔☹️

They want to pervert children, plain and simple. The world is upside down. Things like this would never happen to a America were its culture not sick.
