I wasn't aware drag queens were exempt from being bullies.
In my experience, people who claim to embrace uniqueness and tolerance usually only do so up to a point. I don't know anybody that truly embraces everybody.
Frankly, I find it off putting that children are put in the middle of these culture war battles. That's why I also don't like when evangelicals try to reinstate prayer/God in schools.
@CeeCee72 also makes a good point about child safety. Both drag queens and evangelicals accuse each other of being "groomers." I don't know about that, but I miss growing up in a world where librarians read to children with no ulterior motive or agenda. Religious fanatics and drag queens have their own spaces to express themselves, so why do they also feel the need to influence children? Inclusivity is one thing, but some people want to push the boundaries to the point that it starts to feel more like indoctrination.
