My boys and I would love it. The schools around me.. not so much.

I think parents around here would have a fit, but I think it would be awesome.

I would have no problem but here in rural NC it wouldn't be accepted .

One of the more famous drag queens in Chicago is a very good friend of mine, and they have been welcomed all over the city at Story Time with Drag Queens events.

There was an article on the BBC about a head teacher who is a drag queen in his spare time. No one really bothered.

Never.

It would absolutely never happen in my rural community. Would it be ok by me? Sure.

Depends. I know people who would throw a fit, some who laugh about it and others who would think it was great.

Would the Drag Queen be simply reading the story or giving hilarious commentary and sticking around for makeup tips? Either way I highly doubt anyone would even bat an eye (pun intended) in the very open and accepting state of Hawaii. In NC however things would be mighty tense....especially if god forbid (pun again intended)....the Drag Queen had to use a restroom.

Threads like this are why we need some Xians around here. Otherwise, we just get a liberal echo chamber of tolerance and reason. That's fine but it doesn't make for a compelling dialogue. There's no conflict.

Since we don't have an active Xian component to offer that conflict, I'll play Devil's advocate and post what I believe that person might say. I'm neither a Xian nor a parent but this person is both.

"This is disgusting! I would never allow my child to be exposed to such perversion! GOD made male and female! He did not make males who WANT to be females and such sinful behavior is repugnant in His eyes and His wrath will be felt at the time of Judgment! I pray for your souls!"

We need some Xians here.

No way would it be acceptable where I live.

Dr Venkman described what would happen in my town nicely: human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

Hard to say. I do think there would be some push back from the religious folks in this town.
It is a college town so the issue would be with the permanent residents.

It should be accepted anywhere.

considering that children love fantasy and ''make believe,'' I don't have a problem with it. I'm assuming the story time has nothing to do with personal rights to gender expression, etc?

Would not go over well in my area, but I don't care who's reading to my kid as long as he's engaged.
