Drag Queen Story Hour involves exactly what its name suggestsdrag queens reading stories to childrenand right-wing commentator Josh Bernstein wants the federal government to outlaw it on the grounds that it is borderline pedophilia.
This is child abuse, Bernstein declared in a video posted on Friday. This is child endangerment and, among other things, I think that this should be illegal. I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of expression, but I dont believe in indoctrinating and confusing and abusing, mentally and emotionally, little children to think that they dont even know what sex they are. Think of the damage that this will have on these children as they grow up and get older. Many of them will commit suicide because they dont know which gender that they identify with.
This is a crime against children, he added. This is borderline pedophilia, in a lot of ways. Now, they may not be touching or caressing these children, but they are mentally abusing these children. They are confusing these children. This should be shut down. I think that there should be an investigation in many of these states; maybe even the federal government ought to get involved by shutting this down. This is child abuse, child endangerment.

Yeah dipshit, you know what is a real crime against children? Drugging them and separating them from their parents! You can stop pretending you care about kids asshole.

(35,091 posts)1. Bernstein's rigid gender norms are the problem, not the liberation from them
The damage is being caused by him and his ilk. Period.

And this really names them no better than the Taliban. Ugh I can't stand these people.

Men have been dressing as women for centuries. This Josh Bernstein needs a go fund me page so he can afford to purchase a bag of clues because he is definitely clueless.

All the usual gender roles go out of the window,princess and prince in love with her usually both played by women, the dame is a guy in a frock plus there's a healthy dose of double entendres that go over the children's heads but entertain the parents who have to endure a very noisy, enthusiastic audience !

They have their own teevee shows 'bout 'em!
