Susan Cox, interviewed by Derrick Jensen, adds this. James Lindsay wrote last year that children’s innocence is seen by some activists as part of an undesirable system of power that enforces heteronormativity: ‘One of the targets that woke culture wants to dismantle is the innocence of children … The disruption is simple: exhibition of sexuality, especially queer sexualities and trans people demonstrating sexuality … in order to ‘liberate the potentialities’ of their identities … Children can't be innocent they must be activists.’ What is it doing in libraries before audiences of toddlers? īut why is it so important to expose children to the grotesque caricatures of women found in adult cabaret? Drag’s venomous comedy holds an important place in gay culture, but it’s not uncontentious and it’s usually enjoyed by sexually active adult men. Even a (probably clueless) Michael Rosen appeared at a Goldsmiths event, ‘Queering Children’s Literature’. It’s part of a wider push to ‘queer’ childhood for ideological reasons. This normalisation of adult content for children is not confined to libraries.
In Houston, two members of a Drag Queen Story Hour troupe were exposed as paedophiles. He was even joined by SNP MP Mhairi Black, and the event produced some disturbing video footage. Renfrewshire Council last year invited an act called ‘Flow Job’ to speak at a primary school as part of LGBT History Month. In fact, several councils are convinced that getting men - often adult entertainers - to dress up as parodies of women and dance sexually in front of children, is a good use of taxpayers’ money. Council leader Muhammed Butt responded to claims that Mama G had been trying to obtain the private contact details of some of the young attendees by mocking those who raised concerns and implying that they were being abusive. Two years ago Brent Libraries booked twerking drag act Mama G to read and dance to children. In February, to celebrate LGBT History Month, they ran a ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’, and uploaded it to YouTube (the video has been removed in the last few hours).Īnd they are by no means the only council that has had to defend itself after complaints that inappropriate, sexualised content was being shown to children under the guise of education at a local library. This was not the first time - this year - that Redbridge Libraries has showcased an event unsuitable for children.
