Boston’s $50 million deficit isn't stopping 19 drag queen story hours for toddlers
Pride Month is underway, and no one is more excited for it than the Boston Public Library — as the library is kicking off the month with a schedule of 19 drag queen story hours for children.“Children and families are invited to come and celebrate Pride Month with drag queen Ms. Patty for a fun-filled story hour of songs, stories, and more!” one advertisement reads.Another advertisement boasts a “bilingual drag story time with Just JP” — which is for children just ages 3 and up with an adult.“A bilingual story hour celebrating Pride Month that raises awareness of gender diversity, promotes self-acceptance, and builds empathy through an enjoyable literary experience,” the advertisement reads.“Sin induces insanity too. If we look at the Boston Public Library, it’s hosting 19 drag queen story time events. I had to double check that. Nineteen drag queen story time events for children during Pride Month,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says, shocked.The age limits for the different drag story hours range from 18 months to 5 years old.“Now, when you think about what a drag queen is, it is a man with prosthetic breasts, with fake nails, with huge hair, with lots of makeup, performing in this case for children,” Stuckey says, asking, “Now, what good reason do we have to present a cross-dressing man that uses a character version of femininity to perform to children?”“There is something inherently sexual about drag. Don’t let anyone tell you different, that it’s just about inclusion, it’s just about something different, showing kids that it’s OK to be different. No, it’s sowing confusion, and it is sowing seeds of weird sexuality from a very early age. There’s no good reason for it.”“This is all funded by the taxpayers in Boston. I just want to remind you of that. As of this month, the city faces a budget deficit of nearly $50 million,” she adds.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
